1 John 2
1 My dear children, I'm writing this to you so you shouldn't sin. But if anybody should happen to sin, we have someone who defends us before the Father—Jesus Christ, who is truly good and right.
Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,
2 Through him our sins are forgiven—and not only our sins, but those of the whole world.
og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men også for hele Verdens.
3 We can be sure that we do know him if we follow his commands.
Og derpå kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.
4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but doesn't do what he says, is a liar. They don't have the truth.
Den, som siger: "Jeg kender ham," og ikke holder hans Bud. han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;
5 But those who follow God's word have his love totally fill their minds. This is how we know that we live in him.
men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpå kende vi, at vi ere i ham.
6 Whoever claims to be living in him should behave like Jesus.
Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er også skyldig selv at vandre således, som han vandrede.
7 My friends, I'm not writing to you giving some new commandment, but an old commandment you've had from the beginning. This old commandment is one you have already heard.
I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.
8 But in a sense I am giving you a new commandment. Its truth is revealed in Jesus and in you, for the darkness is coming to an end and the true light is already shining.
Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.
9 Those who say they live in the light but hate a fellow Christian still have the darkness inside them.
Den, som siger, at han er i Lyset, og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.
10 Those who love their fellow Christians live in the light, and don't cause others to sin.
Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.
11 Those who hate a fellow Christian are in darkness. They stumble around in the dark, not knowing where they're going because the darkness has blinded them.
Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han går hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.
12 Dear friends, I'm writing to you children, for your sins have been forgiven through the name of Jesus.
Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.
13 I'm writing to you fathers, for you know him who has existed from the beginning. I'm writing to you young people, for you have defeated the evil one.
Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.
14 I write to you little children, for you know the Father. I write to you fathers, for you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you young people, for you are strong. The word of God lives in you, and you have defeated the evil one.
Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.
15 Don't be in love with the world, and don't long for the things of this world. If you love the world, you won't have the Father's love in you.
Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.
16 For all the things of this world—our sinful desires, wanting everything we see, boasting about what we've accomplished in life— these things don't come from the Father but from the world.
Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.
17 The world and its evil desires are coming to an end, but those who do the will of God will live forever. (aiōn g165)
Og Verden forgår og dens Lyst; men den, som gør Guds Villie, bliver til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
18 Dear friends, this is the last hour. As you've heard, the antichrist is coming. Many antichrists have already come. This is how we know this is the last hour.
Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, således ere nu mange Antikrister fremtrådte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.
19 They left us, but they didn't belong with us, for if they did, they would have remained with us. When they left they showed that none of them belonged with us.
De ere udgåede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive åbenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.
20 But you have been anointed with the Holy Spirit's blessing, and all of you know what's true.
Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.
21 I'm not writing because you don't know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.
22 Who is the liar?—anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ. The antichrist is anyone who denies the Father and the Son.
Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.
23 Anyone that denies the Son does not have the Father; anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father too.
Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har også Faderen.
24 As for you, make sure what you heard from the beginning continues to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning lives in you, you will also live in the Son and in the Father.
Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle også I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.
Og dette er den Forjættelse, som han selv tilsagde os, det evige Liv. (aiōnios g166)
26 I'm writing this to warn you against those who want to lead you astray.
Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.
27 But the anointing you received from him means the Spirit lives in you, and you don't need to be taught by anyone. The Spirit's anointing teaches you about everything. It is the truth and not a lie. So live in Christ, just as you've been taught!
Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men således som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det også sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.
28 Now, my dear friends, continue to live in Christ, so that when he appears, we can be confident and not feel ashamed before him at his coming.
Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, når han åbenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.
29 If you know he is good and right, then you also know that everyone who does what is right has been born of God.
Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
