2 Peter 2
1 But false prophets also developed among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will sneak in pernicious denominations, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
Men der opstod ogsaa falske Profeter iblandt Folket, ligesom der ogsaa iblandt eder vil komme falske Lærere, som ville liste fordærvelige Vranglærdomme ind, idet de endog fornægte den Herre, som købte dem, og bringe en brat Undergang over sig selv,
2 And many will follow their wantonness, because of whom the way of the truth will be blasphemed.
og mange ville efterfølge deres Uterligheder, saa Sandhedens Vej for deres Skyld vil blive bespottet,
3 And they will exploit you in greed with fabricated words, whose judgment is not idle for long, and their destruction will not slumber.
og i Havesyge ville de med falske Ord skaffe sig Vinding af eder; men Dommen over dem har alt fra gamle Dage været i Virksomhed, og deres Undergang slumrer ikke.
4 For if God did not spare agents who sinned, but delivered them up to chains of darkness, having been cast into hell being reserved for judgment, (Tartaroō g5020)
Thi naar Gud ikke sparede Engle, da de syndede, men nedstyrtede dem i Afgrunden og overgav dem til Mørkets Huler for at bevogtes til Dom, (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, the eighth, a herald of righteousness, when he brought on a flood upon the world of the irreverent,
og ikke sparede den gamle Verden, men bevarede Retfærdighedens Prædiker Noa selv ottende, da han førte Oversvømmelse over en Verden af ugudelige
6 and he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, being reduced to ashes, having made an example of men who were going to be irreverent,
og lagde Sodomas og Gomorras Stæder i Aske og domfældte dem til Ødelæggelse, saa han har sat dem til Forbillede for dem, som i Fremtiden vilde leve ugudeligt,
7 and he rescued righteous Lot, being distressed by the conduct of the lawless in their licentiousness
og udfriede den retfærdige Lot, som plagedes af de ryggesløses uterlige Vandel,
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them day after day, in the sight and hearing of their lawless deeds, it anguished his righteous soul),
(thi medens den retfærdige boede iblandt dem, pintes han Dag for Dag i sin retfærdige Sjæl ved de lovløse Gerninger, som han saa og hørte):
9 the Lord knows how to rescue the pious out of temptation, and to hold in reserve unrighteous men being cut off for a day of judgment.
— Da ved Herren at udfri gudfrygtige af Fristelse, men at straffe og bevogte uretfærdige til Dommens Dag,
10 And especially those going rear of flesh in a degenerate lust, and who despise lordship. Reckless, self-willed men, they do not tremble when speaking evil of dignities.
og mest dem, som vandre efter Kød, i Begær efter Besmittelse, og foragte Herskab. Frække, selvbehagelige, bæve de ikke ved at bespotte Herligheder,
11 Whereas agents, being greater in might and power, do not bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
hvor dog Engle, som ere større i Styrke og Magt, ikke fremføre bespottende Dom imod dem for Herren.
12 But these men, like irrational beasts of nature, having been born for capture and destruction, speaking evil at which things they do not understand, will be destroyed in their corruption,
Men disse — ligesom ufornuftige Dyr, der af Natur ere fødte til at fanges og ødelægges, skulle de, fordi de bespotte, hvad de ikke kende, ogsaa ødelægges med hines Ødelæggelse,
13 getting back a wage of unrighteousness. Men who consider soft living in the daytime to be pleasure, spots and blemishes reveling in their deceitfulness, feasting together with you,
idet de faa Uretfærdigheds Løn. De sætte deres Lyst i Vellevned om Dagen, disse Skampletter og Skændselsmennesker! De svælge i deres Bedragerier, medens de holde Gilde med eder;
14 having eyes full of adultery, and unceasing sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse,
deres Øjne ere fulde af Horeri og kunne ikke faa nok af Synd; de lokke ubefæstede Sjæle; de have et Hjerte, øvet i Havesyge, Forbandelsens Børn;
15 having forsaken a straight path, they were led astray, men who followed the way of Balaam, son of Beor, who loved the wage of unrighteousness.
de have forladt den lige Vej og ere farne vild, følgende Bileams, Beors Søns, Vej, han, som elskede Uretfærdigheds Løn,
16 But he had a rebuke of his own lawbreaking. A mute donkey, uttering in a man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.
men fik Revselse for sin Overtrædelse: Et umælende Trældyr talte med menneskelig Røst og hindrede Profetens Afsind.
17 These men are waterless wells, and clouds driven by a fierce wind, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age. (questioned)
Disse ere vandløse Kilder og Taageskyer, som drives af Stormvind; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret.
18 For, uttering swollen things of vanity, they entice (to sensuality by lusts of flesh) those who actually escaped from those who live in error,
Thi dem, som ere lige ved at undslippe fra dem, der vandre i Vildfarelse, lokke de i Kødets Begæringer ved Uterligheder, idet de tale Tomheds overmodige Ord
19 promising them freedom, while they themselves are bondmen of corruption, for by what any man has been overcome, of this he has also been enslaved.
og love dem Frihed, skønt de selv ere Fordærvelsens Trælle; thi man er Træl af det, som man er overvunden af.
20 For if, having escaped the defilements of the world by knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and, having been again entangled in these, they are overcome, the last things have become worse for them than the first.
Thi dersom de, efter at have undflyet Verdens Besmittelser ved Erkendelse af vor Herre og Frelser Jesus Kristus, igen lade sig indvikle deri og overvindes, da er det sidste blevet værre med dem end det første.
21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
Thi bedre havde det været dem ikke at have erkendt Retfærdighedens Vej end efter at have erkendt den at vende sig bort fra det hellige Bud, som var blevet dem overgivet.
22 But that of the true proverb has happened to them, The dog returning to his own vomit, and the sow that washed to wallowing in mire.
Det er gaaet dem efter det sande Ordsprog: „Hunden vender sig om til sit eget Spy, og den toede So til at vælte sig i Sølen.‟
