1 Timoteus 5
1 En gammel Mand maa du ikke skælde paa, men forman ham som en Fader, unge Mænd som Brødre,
An elder not you may rebuke but do exhort [him] as a father, younger [men] as brothers,
2 gamle Kvinder som Mødre, unge som Søstre, i al Renhed.
elder [women] as mothers, [and] younger [women] as sisters in all purity.
3 Ær Enker, dem, som virkelig ere Enker;
Widows do honor who [are] truly widows.
4 men om en Enke har Børn eller Børnebørn, da lad dem først lære at vise deres eget Hus skyldig Kærlighed og gøre Gengæld imod Forældrene; thi dette er velbehageligt for Gud.
If however any widow children or grandchildren has, they should learn first [her] own household to be devout and recompense to give to parents; this for is (good and *K*) pleasing before God.
5 Men den, som virkelig er Enke og staar ene, har sat sit Haab til Gud og bliver ved med sine Bønner og Paakaldelser Nat og Dag;
She who [is] now indeed a widow and abandoned she has hope in (*ko*) God and she continues in supplications and in prayers by night and day;
6 men den, som lever efter sine Lyster, er levende død.
She however living in self-indulgence [while] living has died.
7 Forehold dem ogsaa dette, for at de maa være ulastelige.
Also these things do command, so that above reproach they may be.
8 Men dersom nogen ikke har Omsorg for sine egne og især for sine Husfæller, han har fornægtet Troen og er værre end en vantro.
If now anyone [their] own and especially (of the *k*) [their] household not (does provide for, *N(k)O*) the faith he has denied and he is than an unbeliever worse.
9 En Enke kan udnævnes, naar hun er ikke yngre end tresindstyve Aar, har været een Mands Hustru,
A widow should ld be enrol not less than years [old] sixty having been of one man [the] wife,
10 har Vidnesbyrd for gode Gerninger, har opfostret Børn, har vist Gæstfrihed, har toet helliges Fødder, har hjulpet nødlidende, har lagt sig efter al god Gerning.
in works good being borne witness to, if she has brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints’ feet she has washed, if to those being oppressed she has imparted relief, if to every work good she has followed after.
11 Men afvis unge Enker; thi naar de i kødelig Attraa gøre Oprør imod Kristus, ville de giftes
Younger however widows do refuse; when for they may grow wanton against Christ, to marry they desire
12 og have saa den Dom, at de have sveget deres første Tro.
incurring judgment because the first faith they have cast off;
13 Tilmed lære de, idet de løbe omkring i Husene, at være ørkesløse, og ikke alene ørkesløse, men ogsaa at være sladderagtige og blande sig i uvedkommende Ting, idet de tale, hvad der er utilbørligt.
At the same time then also [to be] idle they learn going about house to house. not only then idle, but also gossips and busybodies, speaking [things] not being proper.
14 Derfor vil jeg, at unge Enker skulle giftes, føde Børn, styre Hus, ingen Anledning give Modstanderen til slet Omtale.
I want therefore [the] younger [ones] to marry, to bear children, to manage their households, no occasion to give to the [one] opposing of reproach because;
15 Thi allerede have nogle vendt sig bort efter Satan.
Already for some have turned aside after Satan.
16 Dersom nogen troende Kvinde har Enker, da lad hende hjælpe dem, og lad ikke Menigheden bebyrdes, for at den kan hjælpe de virkelige Enker.
If any (faithful or *K*) believing [woman] has [dependent] widows, (she should help *NK(o)*) to them and not should be burdened the church, so that to those [who are] truly widows it may impart relief.
17 De Ældste, som ere gode Forstandere, skal man holde dobbelt Ære værd, mest dem, som arbejde i Tale og Undervisning.
The well already ruling elders of double honor should be counted worthy especially those straining in [the] word and [the] teaching;
18 Thi Skriften siger: „Du maa ikke binde Munden til paa en Okse, som tærsker‟; og: „Arbejderen er sin Løn værd.‟
Says for the Scripture; An ox treading out grain not you will muzzle; and Worthy [is] the workman of the wages of him.
19 Tag ikke imod noget Klagemaal imod en Ældste, uden efter to eller tre Vidner.
Against an elder an accusation not do receive unless only except upon two or three witnesses.
20 Dem, som synde, irettesæt dem for alles Aasyn, for at ogsaa de andre maa have Frygt.
(now *o*) sinning before all do rebuke, so that also the rest fear may have.
21 Jeg besværger dig for Guds og Kristi Jesu og de udvalgte Engles Aasyn, at du vogter paa dette uden Partiskhed, saa du intet gør efter Tilbøjelighed.
I earnestly testify before God and (Lord *K*) Christ Jesus and the elect angels that these things you may keep apart from prejudice nothing doing out of partiality.
22 Vær ikke hastig til at lægge Hænder paa nogen, og gør dig ikke delagtig i andres Synder; hold dig selv ren!
Hands soon on no one do lay nor do share in [the] sins of others, yourself pure do keep.
23 Drik ikke længere bare Vand, men nyd lidt Vin for din Mave og dine jævnlige Svagheder.
No longer do drink [only] water, but wine a little do use because of the stomach (of you *K*) and the frequent of you ailments.
24 Nogle Menneskers Synder ere aabenbare og gaa forud til Dom; men for nogle følge de ogsaa bagefter.
Of some men the sins manifest are going before [them] to judgment; of some however also they appear later.
25 Ligeledes ere ogsaa de gode Gerninger aabenbare, og de, som det forholder sig anderledes med, kunne ikke skjules.
Likewise also the works good evident (is *k*) and even those otherwise being to be concealed not (are able. *N(k)O*)
