2 Thessalonians 1
1 Paul and Siluanus, and Timotheus, vnto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father, and in the Lord Iesus Christ:
Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus:
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
3 We ought to thanke God alwayes for you, brethren, as it is meete, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the loue of euery one of you toward another, aboundeth,
Vi ere skyldige altid at takke Gud for eder, Brødre! som tilbørligt er, fordi eders Tro vokser overmaade, og den indbyrdes Kærlighed forøges hos hver enkelt af eder alle,
4 So that we our selues reioyce of you in the Churches of God, because of your patience and faith in al your persecutions and tribulatios that ye suffer,
saa at vi selv rose os af eder i Guds Menigheder for eders Udholdenhed og Tro under alle eders Forfølgelser og de Trængsler, som I udstaa,
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous iudgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdome of God, for the which ye also suffer.
et Bevis paa Guds retfærdige Dom, for at I kunne agtes værdige til Guds Rige, for hvilket I ogsaa lide;
6 For it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you,
hvis ellers det er retfærdigt for Gud at give dem Trængsel til Gengæld, som trænge eder,
7 And to you which are troubled, rest with vs, when the Lord Iesus shall shewe himselfe from heauen with his mightie Angels,
og eder, som trænges, Hvile med os ved den Herres Jesu Aabenbarelse fra Himmelen med sin Krafts Engle,
8 In flaming fire, rendring vengeance vnto them, that doe not know God, and which obey not vnto the Gospel of our Lord Iesus Christ,
med Lueild, naar han tager Hævn over dem, som ikke kende Gud, og over dem, som ikke lyde vor Herres Jesu Evangelium,
9 Which shall be punished with euerlasting perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, (aiōnios g166)
de, som jo skulle lide Straf, evig Undergang bort fra Herrens Ansigt og fra hans Vældes Herlighed, (aiōnios g166)
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and to be made marueilous in all them that beleeue (because our testimonie toward you was beleeued) in that day.
naar han kommer for paa hin Dag at herliggøres i sine hellige og beundres i alle dem, som have troet; thi troet blev vort Vidnesbyrd til eder.
11 Wherefore, we also pray alwayes for you, that our God may make you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodnes, and the worke of faith with power,
Derfor bede vi ogsaa altid for eder, at vor Gud vil agte eder Kaldelsen værdige og med Kraft fuldkomme al Lyst til det gode og Troens Gerning,
12 That the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ.
for at vor Herres Jesu Navn maa herliggøres i eder, og I i ham, efter vor Guds og den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade.
