2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
Simon Peter, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have faaet samme dyrebare Tro som vi ved vor Guds og Frelsers Jesu Kristi Retfærdighed:
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
3 as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue.
Saasom hans guddommelige Magt har skænket os alt, hvad der hører til Liv og Gudfrygtighed ved Erkendelsen af ham, som kaldte os ved sin Herlighed og Kraft,
4 Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust.
hvorved han har skænket os de største og dyrebare Forjættelser, for at I ved disse skulle faa Del i guddommelig Natur, naar I undfly Fordærvelsen i Verden, som har sin Grund i Begær,
5 Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge,
saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
6 and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety,
og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
7 and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love.
og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
8 For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thi naar dette findes hos eder og er i Tiltagen, lader det eder ikke staa ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i Erkendelsen af vor Herre Jesus Kristus;
9 For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins.
den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
10 Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble.
Derfor, Brødre! gører eder des mere Flid for at befæste eders Kaldelse og Udvælgelse; thi naar I gøre dette, skulle I ingen Sinde støde an.
11 For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth.
Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at paaminde eder om dette, ihvorvel I vide det og ere befæstede i den Sandhed, som er til Stede hos os.
13 But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory.
Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
14 Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me.
da jeg ved, at Aflæggelsen af mit Telt kommer brat, saaledes som jo vor Herre Jesus Kristus har givet mig til Kende.
15 And also I will endeavor for you to always have, after my departure, the memory of these things to apply.
Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
16 For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man.
Thi vi have ikke fulgt kløgtigt opdigtede Fabler, da vi kundgjorde eder vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi have været Øjenvidner til hans Majestæt,
17 For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.
nemlig da han fik Ære og Herlighed af Gud Fader, idet en saadan Røst lød til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag.‟
18 And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
19 And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts.
Og des mere stadfæstet have vi det profetiske Ord, hvilket I gøre vel i at agte paa som paa et Lys, der skinner paa et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen bryder frem, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i eders Hjerter,
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture comes to pass of a personal interpretation.
idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror paa egen Tydning.
21 For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by the Holy Spirit.
Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
