2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you
Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angaaende vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.
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 one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Maade; thi først maa jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske aabenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself up as 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 Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han aabenbares i sin Tid.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først maa komme af Vejen,
8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation 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 he whose coming is according to 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 deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love 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 because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, saa at de tro Løgnen,
12 in order that all might be judged who did not believe 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 always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in 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 to which he called you through our Good News, for 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 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
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 our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort 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 work and word.
han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
