1 Timoteus 4
1 Men Aanden siger klarlig, at i kommende Tider ville nogle falde fra Troen, idet de agte paa forførende Aander og paa Dæmoners Lærdomme,
But the Rukha says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 ved Løgnlæreres Hykleri, som ere brændemærkede i deres egen Samvittighed,
through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
3 som byde, at man ikke maa gifte sig, og at man skal afholde sig fra Spiser, hvilke Gud har skabt til at nydes med Taksigelse af dem, som tro og have erkendt Sandheden.
forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Thi al Guds Skabning er god, og intet er at forkaste, naar det tages med Taksigelse;
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 thi det helliges ved Guds Ord og Bøn.
For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 Naar du foreholder Brødrene dette, er du en god Kristi Jesu Tjener, idet du næres ved Troens og den gode Læres Ord, den, som du har efterfulgt;
If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Meshikha Yeshua, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 men afvis de vanhellige og kærlingagtige Fabler! Derimod øv dig selv i Gudsfrygt!
But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
8 Thi den legemlige Øvelse er nyttig til lidet, men Gudsfrygten er nyttig til alle Ting, idet den har Forjættelse for det Liv, som nu er, og for det, som kommer.
For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
9 Den Tale er troværdig og al Modtagelse værd.
This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 Thi derfor lide vi Møje og Forhaanelser, fordi vi have sat vort Haab til den levende Gud, som er alle Menneskers Frelser, mest deres, som tro.
For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
11 Paabyd og lær dette!
Command and teach these things.
12 Lad ingen ringeagte dig for din Ungdoms Skyld, men bliv et Forbillede for dem, som tro, i Tale, i Vandel, i Kærlighed, i Tro, i Renhed!
Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
13 Indtil jeg kommer, saa giv Agt paa Oplæsningen, Formaningen, Undervisningen.
Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Forsøm ikke den Naadegave, som er i dig, som blev given dig under Profeti med Haandspaalæggelse af de Ældste.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Tænk paa dette, lev i dette, for at din Fremgang maa være aabenbar for alle.
Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16 Giv Agt paa dig selv og paa Undervisningen; hold ved dermed; thi naar du gør dette, skal du frelse baade dig selv og dem, som høre dig.
Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
