1 Johannes 2
1 Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
2 og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men også for hele Verdens.
And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
3 Og derpå kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.
This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
4 Den, som siger: "Jeg kender ham," og ikke holder hans Bud. han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;
One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpå kende vi, at vi ere i ham.
But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er også skyldig selv at vandre således, som han vandrede.
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
7 I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.
Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
8 Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.
Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
9 Den, som siger, at han er i Lyset, og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
10 Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.
He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
11 Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han går hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.
I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
14 Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.
I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.
Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
16 Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, således ere nu mange Antikrister fremtrådte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.
Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
19 De ere udgåede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive åbenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.
They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
20 Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.
I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har også Faderen.
Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
24 Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle også I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.
As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
This is the promise which he promised us, the everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.
These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men således som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det også sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
28 Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, når han åbenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.
Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
