2 Peter 1
1 Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of our God, and the 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 and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
3 Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;
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 he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from 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 even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,
saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
6 and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control endurance, and to endurance godliness,
og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
7 and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
8 For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full 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 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will 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 the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting 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 Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.
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 Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;
Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
14 knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared 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 Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.
Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eye-witnesses 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 he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: “This is my beloved Son, with 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 And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him in the holy mount.
Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
19 And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise 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 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture cometh from private interpretation.
idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror paa egen Tydning.
21 For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
