2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Simon Peter, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have fået samme dyrebare Tro som vi ved vor Guds og Frelsers Jesu Kristi Retfærdighed:
2 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; —
Nåde og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
3 As, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence, —
Såsom 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, his precious, and very great, promises, have, unto us, been given, in order that, through these, ye might become sharers in a divine nature—escaping the corruption that is in the world by coveting.
hvorved han har skænket os de største og dyrebare Forjættelser, for at I ved disse skulle få Del i guddommelig Natur, når I undfly Fordærvelsen i Verden, som har sin Grund i Begær,
5 And, for this very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge,
så anvender just derfor al Flid på i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
6 And, in your knowledge, self-control, and, in your self-control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
7 And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love.
og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
8 These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Thi når dette findes hos eder og er i Tiltagen, lader det eder ikke stå ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i Erkendelsen af vor Herre Jesus Kristus;
9 For, he to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification from his old sins.
den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
10 Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time,
Derfor, Brødre! gører eder des mere Flid for at befæste eders Kaldelse og Udvælgelse; thi når I gøre dette, skulle I ingen Sinde støde an.
11 For, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you—the entrance into the age-abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
Thi så skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, —although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth;
Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at påminde eder om delte, ihvorvel I vide det og ere befæstede i den Sandhed, som er til Stede hos os.
13 Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance,
Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Påmindelse, så længe jeg er i dette Telt,
14 Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:
da jeg ved, at Aflæggelsen af mit Telt kommer brat, således som jo vor Herre Jesus Kristus har givet mig til Kende.
15 Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.
Og jeg vil også gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
16 For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty.
Thi vi have ikke fulgt klogtigt opdigtede Fabler, da vi kundgjorde eder vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi have været Øjenvidner til hans Majestæt,
17 For, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory—My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight,
nemlig da han fik Ære og Herlighed af Gud Fader, idet en sådan Røst lød til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: "Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag."
18 Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham på det hellige Bjerg.
19 And we have, more firm, the prophetic word; —whereunto ye are doing, well, to take heed, —as unto a lamp shining in a dusky place, —until, day, shall dawn, and, a day-star, shall arise in your hearts: —
Og des mere stadfæstet have vi det profetiske Ord, hvilket I gøre vel i at agte på som på et Lys, der skinner på et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen bryder frem, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i eders Hjerter,
20 Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror på egen Tydning.
21 For not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.
Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligånd talte hellige Guds Mænd.
