2 John 1
1 I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;
Den Ældste til den udvalgte Frue og hendes Børn, som jeg elsker i Sandhed, og ikke jeg alene, men også alle, som have erkendt Sandheden,
for den Sandheds Skyld, som bliver i os og skal være med os til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
3 May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.
Nåde, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
4 It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.
Jeg har glædet mig meget over, at jeg har fundet Børn af dig, som vandre i Sandhed, efter det Bud, vi fik af Faderen.
5 And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.
Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt
6 And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it.
Og dette er Kærligheden, at vi vandre efter hans Bud. Dette er Budet, således som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre deri.
7 Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.
Thi mange Forførere ere udgåede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En sådan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
8 Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.
Giver Agt på eder selv, at I ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbejdet, men at I må få fuld Løn.
9 Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son.
Hver den, som viger ud og ikke bliver i Kristi Lære, har ikke Gud. Den, som bliver i Læren, han har både Faderen og Sønnen.
10 If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:
Dersom nogen kommer til eder og ikke fører denne Lære, ham skulle I ikke tage til Huse og ikke byde velkommen.
11 For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works.
Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
12 Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.
Endskønt jeg havde meget at skrive til eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg håber at komme til eder og tale mundtligt med eder, for at vor Glæde må være fuldkommen.
13 The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love.
Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
