Titus 2
1 Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:
But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
2 At gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;
Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.
3 at gamle Kvinder ligeledes skulle skikke sig, som det sømmer sig hellige, ikke bagtale, ikke være forfaldne til megen Vin, men være Lærere i, hvad godt er,
In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.
4 for at de maa faa de unge Kvinder til at besinde sig paa at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,
They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,
5 at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.
industrious in their homes, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the Christian teaching may not be exposed to reproach.
6 Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,
In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,
7 idet du i alle Maader viser dig selv som et Forbillede paa gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,
and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,
8 sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen maa blive til Skamme, naar han intet ondt har at sige om os.
and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.
9 Forman Trælle til at underordne sig under deres egne Herrer, at være dem til Behag i alle Ting, ikke sige imod,
Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,
10 ikke besvige, men vise al god Troskab, for at de i alle Maader kunne være en Pryd for Guds, vor Frelsers Lære.
but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.
11 Thi Guds Naade er bleven aabenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker
For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,
12 og opdrager os til at forsage Ugudeligheden og de verdslige Begæringer og leve sindigt og retfærdigt og gudfrygtigt i den nærværende Verden; (aiōn g165)
training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time, (aiōn g165)
13 forventende det salige Haab og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Herligheds Aabenbarelse,
in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope--the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 han, som gav sig selv for os, for at han maatte forløse os fra al Lovløshed og rense sig selv et Ejendomsfolk, nidkært til gode Gerninger.
who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.
15 Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
