2 Tessalonikerne 2
1 Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angående vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and our gathering together to him, we ask you
2 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.
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.
3 Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Måde; thi først må jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske åbenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
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,
4 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.
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.
5 Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
6 Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han åbenbares i sin Tid.
Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7 Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først må komme af Vejen
For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
8 og da skal den lovløse åbenbares, hvem den Herre Jesus skal dræbe med sin Munds Ånde og tilintetgøre ved sin Tilkommelses Åbenbarelse,
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;
9 han, hvis Komme sker ifølge Satans Kraft, med al Løgnens Magt og Tegn og Undere
even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 og med alt Uretfærdigheds Bedrag for dem, som fortabes, fordi de ikke toge imod Kærligheden til Sandheden, så de kunde blive frelste.
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.
11 Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, så at de tro Løgnen,
And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 for at de skulle dømmes, alle de, som ikke troede Sandheden, men fandt Behag i Uretfærdigheden.
in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 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,
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 Ruach and belief in the truth;
14 hvortil han kaldte eder ved vort Evangelium, for at I skulde vinde vor Herres Jesu Kristi Herlighed.
to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
15 Så står da fast, Brødre! og holder fast ved de Overleveringer, hvori I bleve oplærte, være sig ved vor Tale eller vort Brev.
So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
16 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)
Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
