2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Yahushua the Messiah by the will of YHWH, and Timothy our brother, unto the assembly of YHWH which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
Paulus, ved Guds Villie Kristi Jesu Apostel, og Broderen Timotheus til Guds Menighed, som er i Korinth, tillige med alle de hellige, som ere i hele Akaja:
2 Favour be to you and peace from YHWH our Father, and from the Master Yahushua the Messiah.
Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
3 Blessed be YHWH, even the Father of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, the Father of mercies, and the Elohim of all comfort;
Lovet være Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader, Barmhjertighedens Fader og al Trøsts Gud,
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of Elohim.
som trøster os under al vor Trængsel, for at vi maa kunne trøste dem, som ere i alle Haande Trængsel, med den Trøst, hvormed vi selv trøstes af Gud!
5 For as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by the Messiah.
Thi ligesom Kristi Lidelser komme rigeligt over os, saaledes bliver ogsaa vor Trøst rigelig ved Kristus.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
Men hvad enten vi lide Trængsel, sker det til eders Trøst og Frelse, eller vi trøstes, sker det til eders Trøst, som viser sin Kraft i, at I udholde de samme Lidelser, som ogsaa vi lide; og vort Haab om eder er fast,
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
efterdi vi vide, at ligesom I ere delagtige i Lidelserne, saaledes ere I det ogsaa i Trøsten.
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
Thi vi ville ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om den Trængsel, som kom over os i Asien, at vi bleve overvættes besværede, over Evne, saa at vi endog mistvivlede om Livet.
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in YHWH which raiseth the dead:
Ja, selv have vi hos os selv faaet det Svar: „Døden‟, for at vi ikke skulde forlade os paa os selv, men paa Gud, som oprejser de døde,
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
han, som friede os ud af saa stor en Dødsfare og vil fri os, til hvem vi have sat vort Haab, at han ogsaa fremdeles vil fri os,
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
idet ogsaa I komme os til Hjælp med Bøn for os, for at der fra mange Munde maa blive rigeligt takket for os, for den Naade, som er bevist os.
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favour of YHWH, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
Thi dette er vor Ros, vor Samvittigheds Vidnesbyrd, at i Guds Hellighed og Renhed, ikke i kødelig Visdom, men i Guds Naade have vi færdedes i Verden, men mest hos eder.
13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
Thi vi skrive eder ikke andet til end det, som I læse eller ogsaa erkende; men jeg haaber, at I indtil Enden skulle erkende,
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Master Yahushua.
ligesom I ogsaa til Dels have erkendt om os, at vi ere eders Ros, ligesom I ere vor, paa den Herres Jesu Dag.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
Og i Tillid hertil havde jeg i Sinde at komme først til eder, for at I skulde faa Naade to Gange,
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
og om ad eder at drage til Makedonien og atter fra Makedonien at komme til eder og blive befordret videre af eder til Judæa.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
Naar jeg nu havde dette i Sinde, mon jeg da saa handlede i Letsindighed? Eller hvad jeg beslutter, beslutter jeg det efter Kødet, for at der hos mig skal være Ja, Ja og Nej, Nej?
18 But as YHWH is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
Saa sandt Gud er trofast, er vor Tale til eder ikke Ja og Nej.
19 For the Son of YHWH, Yahushua the Messiah, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
Thi Guds Søn, Kristus Jesus, som blev prædiket iblandt eder ved os, ved mig og Silvanus og Timotheus, han blev ikke Ja og Nej, men Ja er vorden i ham.
20 For all the promises of YHWH in him are yea, and in him amein, unto the glory of YHWH by us.
Thi saa mange som Guds Forjættelser ere, i ham have de deres Ja; derfor faa de ogsaa ved ham deres Amen, Gud til Ære ved os.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in the Messiah, and hath anointed us, is YHWH;
Men den, som holder os med eder fast til Kristus og salvede os, er Gud,
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
som ogsaa beseglede os og gav os Aandens Pant i vore Hjerter.
23 Moreover I call YHWH for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
Men jeg kalder Gud til Vidne over min Sjæl paa, at det var for at skaane eder, at jeg ikke igen kom til Korinth.
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Ikke at vi ere Herrer over eders Tro, men vi ere Medarbejdere paa eders Glæde; thi i Troen staa I.
