2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like 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 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own 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 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by 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 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, 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, godliness;
og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or 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 who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never 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 thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the consummate (aiōnios g166) Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are 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 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
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 comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear 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 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
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 did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
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 he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, 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 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star 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 is of private interpretation.
idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror paa egen Tydning.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
