2 Thessalonians 2
1 And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him,
Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angående vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
2 that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;
at I ikke i en Hast må lade eder bringe fra Besindelse eller forskrække hverken ved nogen Ånd eller ved nogen Tale eller Brev, der skulde være fra os, som om Herrens Dag var lige for Hånden.
3 let not any one deceive you in any manner, because — if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed — the son of the destruction,
Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Måde; thi først må jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske åbenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
4 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God — [the day doth not come].
han, som sætter sig imod og ophøjer sig over alt. hvad der kaldes Gud eller Helligdom, så at han sætter sig i Guds Tempel og udgiver sig selv for at være Gud.
5 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I said to you?
Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
6 and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being revealed in his own time,
Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han åbenbares i sin Tid.
7 for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now [will hinder] — till he may be out of the way,
Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først må komme af Vejen
8 and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,
og da skal den lovløse åbenbares, hvem den Herre Jesus skal dræbe med sin Munds Ånde og tilintetgøre ved sin Tilkommelses Åbenbarelse,
9 [him, ] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
han, hvis Komme sker ifølge Satans Kraft, med al Løgnens Magt og Tegn og Undere
10 and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,
og med alt Uretfærdigheds Bedrag for dem, som fortabes, fordi de ikke toge imod Kærligheden til Sandheden, så de kunde blive frelste.
11 and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,
Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, så at de tro Løgnen,
12 that they may be judged — all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
for at de skulle dømmes, alle de, som ikke troede Sandheden, men fandt Behag i Uretfærdigheden.
13 And we — we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, 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 Åndens Helligelse og Tro på Sandheden,
14 to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring 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, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;
Så står da fast, Brødre! og holder fast ved de Overleveringer, hvori I bleve oplærte, være sig ved vor Tale eller vort Brev.
16 and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)
Men han selv, vor Herre Jesus Kristus og Gud vor Fader, som har elsket og givet os en evig Trøst og et godt Håb i Nåde, (aiōnios g166)
17 comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
