2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, the servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those receiving like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and our Saviour 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 perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
3 As His divine power having given unto us all things which appertain to life and godliness, through the perfect knowledge of the one having called us to 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 through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through 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 And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge;
saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
6 and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness;
og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
7 and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.
og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
8 For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect 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 unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins.
den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
10 Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall.
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 in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being 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 But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;
Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
14 knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed 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 And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things.
Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
16 For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been 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 having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent 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, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven.
Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
19 And we have the more certain word of prophecy; to which you do well giving heed, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day may dawn, and the morning-star may rise 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 know this in the first place, 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 in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.
Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
