1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Peter, Jesu Kristi Apostel, til Udlændingene i Adspredelse i Pontus, Galatien, Kappadokien, Asien og Bithynien,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
udvalgte efter Gud Faders Forudviden, ved Aandens Helligelse, til Lydighed og Bestænkelse med Jesu Kristi Blod: Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Lovet være Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader, som efter sin store Barmhjertighed har genfødt os til et levende Haab ved Jesu Kristi Opstandelse fra de døde,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you,
til en uforkrænkelig og ubesmittelig og uvisnelig Arv, som er bevaret i Himlene til eder,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
I, som ved Guds Kraft bevogtes ved Tro til en Frelse, som er rede til at aabenbares i den sidste Tid,
6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
i hvilken I skulle fryde eder, om I end nu en liden Stund, hvis saa skal være, bedrøves i mange Haande Prøvelser,
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
for at eders prøvede Tro, som er meget dyrebarere end det forgængelige Guld, der dog prøves ved Ild, maa findes til Ros og Herlighed og Ære i Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,
8 Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
ham, som I ikke have set og dog elske, ham, som I, skønt I nu ikke se, men tro, skulle fryde eder over med en uudsigelig og forherliget Glæde,
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
naar I naa Maalet for eders Tro, Sjælenes Frelse.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:
Om denne Frelse have Profeter gransket og ransaget, de, som profeterede om den Naade, der skulde blive eder til Del,
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
idet de granskede over, hvilken eller hvordan en Tid Kristi Aand, som var i dem, henviste til, naar den forud vidnede om Kristi Lidelser og den derpaa følgende Herlighed.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did minister the things, which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Og det blev dem aabenbaret, at det ikke var dem selv, men eder, de tjente med disse Ting, som nu ere blevne eder kundgjorte ved dem, der have forkyndt eder Evangeliet i den Helligaand, som blev sendt fra Himmelen, hvilke Ting Engle begære at skue ind i.
13 Why gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Derfor, binder op om eders Sinds Lænder, være ædrue, og sætter fuldt ud eders Haab til den Naade, som bliver eder til Del i Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse.
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Som lydige Børn skulle I ikke skikke eder efter de forrige Lyster i eders Vankundighed;
15 But as he which has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation;
men efter den hellige, som kaldte eder, skulle ogsaa I vorde hellige i al eders Vandel;
16 Because it is written, Be you holy; for I am holy.
thi der er skrevet: „I skulle være hellige, thi jeg er hellig.‟
17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Og dersom I paakalde ham som Fader, der dømmer uden Persons Anseelse efter enhvers Gerning, da bør I vandre i Frygt eders Udlændigheds Tid,
18 For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
vel vidende, at det ikke var med forkrænkelige Ting, Sølv eller Guld, at I bleve løskøbte fra eders tomme Vandel, som var overleveret eder fra Fædrene,
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
men med Kristi dyrebare Blod som et lydeløst og uplettet Lams,
20 Who truly was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
han, som var forud kendt før Verdens Grundlæggelse, men blev aabenbaret ved Tidernes Ende for eders Skyld,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
der ved ham tro paa Gud, som oprejste ham fra de døde og gav ham Herlighed, saa at eders Tro ogsaa er Haab til Gud.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Lutrer eders Sjæle i Lydighed imod Sandheden til uskrømtet Broderkærlighed, og elsker hverandre inderligt af Hjertet,
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and stays for ever. (aiōn g165)
genfødte, som I ere, ikke af forkrænkelig, men af uforkrænkelig Sæd, ved Guds levende og blivende Ord. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and the flower thereof falls away:
Thi „alt Kød er som Græs, og al dets Herlighed som Græssets Blomst; Græsset visner, og Blomsten falder af;
