2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now we plead to you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angaaende vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
2 That all of you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, (pneuma) nor by word, (logos) nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
at I ikke i en Hast maa lade eder bringe fra Besindelse eller forskrække hverken ved nogen Aand eller ved nogen Tale eller Brev, der skulde være fra os, som om Herrens Dag var lige for Haanden.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Maade; thi først maa jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske aabenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
han, som sætter sig imod og ophøjer sig over alt, hvad der kaldes Gud eller Helligdom, saa at han sætter sig i Guds Tempel og udgiver sig selv for at være Gud.
5 Remember all of you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
6 And now all of you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.
Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han aabenbares i sin Tid.
7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først maa komme af Vejen,
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit (pneuma) of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
og da skal den lovløse aabenbares, hvem den Herre Jesus skal dræbe med sin Munds Aande og tilintetgøre ved sin Tilkommelses Aabenbarelse,
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
han, hvis Komme sker ifølge Satans Kraft, med al Løgnens Magt og Tegn og Undere
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love (agape) of the truth, that they might be saved.
og med alt Uretfærdigheds Bedrag for dem, som fortabes, fordi de ikke toge imod Kærligheden til Sandheden, saa de kunde blive frelste.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, saa at de tro Løgnen,
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
for at de skulle dømmes, alle de, som ikke troede Sandheden, men fandt Behag i Uretfærdigheden.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit (pneuma) and belief of the truth:
Men vi ere skyldige at takke Gud altid for eder, I af Herren elskede Brødre! fordi Gud har udvalgt eder fra Begyndelsen til Frelse ved Aandens Helligelse og Tro paa Sandheden,
14 Unto which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
hvortil han kaldte eder ved vort Evangelium, for at I skulde vinde vor Herres Jesu Kristi Herlighed.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which all of you have been taught, whether by word, (logos) or our epistle.
Saa staar da fast, Brødre! og holder fast ved de Overleveringer, hvori I bleve oplærte, være sig ved vor Tale eller vort Brev.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
Men han selv, vor Herre Jesus Kristus og Gud vor Fader, som har elsket os og givet os en evig Trøst og et godt Haab i Naade, (aiōnios g166)
17 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word (logos) and work.
han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
