2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,
Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, for at bringe Forjættelse om Livet i Kristus Jesus
2 to Timothy, a beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
— til Timotheus, sit elskede Barn: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vor Herre!
3 I have gratitude to God whom I serve from the forefathers in a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance about thee in my supplications, night and day
Jeg takker Gud, hvem jeg fra mine Forfædre af har tjent i en ren Samvittighed, ligesom jeg uafladelig har dig i Erindring i mine Bønner Nat og Dag,
4 longing to see thee, having remembered thy tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
da jeg i Mindet om dine Taarer længes efter at se dig, for at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,
5 taking memory of the non-hypocritical faith in thee, which first dwelt in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that is in thee also.
idet jeg er bleven mindet om den uskrømtede Tro, som er i dig, den, som boede først i din Mormoder Lois og din Moder Eunike, og jeg er vis paa, at den ogsaa bor i dig.
6 Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of soberness.
Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good news according to the power of God.
Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
9 Who saved us and who called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal. (aiōnios g166)
han, som frelste os og kaldte os med en hellig Kaldelse, ikke efter vore Gerninger, men efter sit eget Forsæt og Naaden, som blev given os i Kristus Jesus fra evige Tider, (aiōnios g166)
10 But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good news,
men nu er kommen for Dagen ved vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse, han, som tilintetgjorde Døden, men bragte Liv og Uforkrænkelighed for Lyset ved Evangeliet,
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of Gentiles.
for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
12 Because of which reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve my consignment for that day.
hvorfor jeg ogsaa lider dette, men jeg skammer mig ikke derved; thi jeg ved, til hvem jeg har sat min Tro, og jeg er vis paa, at han er mægtig til at vogte paa den mig betroede Skat til hin Dag.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Hav et Forbillede i de sunde Ord, som du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
14 Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.
Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
15 This thou know, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.
Herren vise Onesiforus's Hus Barmhjertighed; thi han har ofte vederkvæget mig og skammede sig ikke ved min Lænke,
17 But when he happened to be in Rome he sought me more diligently and found me
men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
18 (may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day), and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou know very well.
Herren give ham at finde Barmhjertighed fra Herren paa hin Dag! Og hvor megen Tjeneste han har gjort i Efesus, ved du bedst.
