1 Timoteus 6
1 Alle de, som ere Trælle under Aag, skulle holde deres egne Herrer al Ære værd, for at ikke Guds Navn og Læren skal bespottes.
Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 Men de, der have troende Herrer, maa ikke ringeagte dem, fordi de ere Brødre, men tjene dem desto hellere, fordi de, som nyde godt af deres gode Gerning, ere troende og elskede. Lær dette, og forman dertil!
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 Dersom nogen fører fremmed Lære og ikke holder sig til vor Herres Jesu Kristi sunde Ord og til den Lære, som stemmer med Gudsfrygt,
If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 han er opblæst, skønt han intet ved, men er syg for Stridigheder og Ordkampe, hvoraf kommer Avind, Kiv, Forhaanelser, ond Mistanke
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 og idelige Rivninger hos Mennesker, som ere fordærvede i Sindet og berøvede Sandheden, idet de mene, at Gudsfrygten er en Vinding.
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6 Vist nok er Gudsfrygten sammen med Nøjsomhed en stor Vinding.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Thi vi have intet bragt ind i Verden, det er da aabenbart, at vi ej heller kunne bringe noget ud derfra.
For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
8 Men naar vi have Føde og Klæder, ville vi dermed lade os nøje.
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 Men de, som ville være rige, falde i Fristelse og Snare og mange ufornuftige og skadelige Begæringer, som nedsænke Menneskene i Undergang og Fortabelse;
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 thi Pengegridskheden er en Rod til alt ondt; og ved at hige derefter ere nogle farne vild fra Troen og have gennemstunget sig selv med mange Smerter.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Men du, o Guds Menneske! fly disse Ting; jag derimod efter Retfærdighed, Gudsfrygt, Tro, Kærlighed, Udholdenhed, Sagtmodighed;
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
12 strid Troens gode Strid, grib det evige Liv, til hvilket du er bleven kaldet og har aflagt den gode Bekendelse for mange Vidner. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Jeg byder dig for Guds Aasyn, som holder alle Ting i Live, og for Kristus Jesus, som vidnede den gode Bekendelse for Pontius Pilatus,
I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Meshikha Yeshua, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 at du holder Budet uplettet, ulasteligt indtil vor Herres Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;
15 hvilken den salige og alene mægtige, Kongernes Konge og Herrernes Herre skal lade til Syne i sin Tid;
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 han, som alene har Udødelighed, som bor i et utilgængeligt Lys, hvem intet Menneske har set, ikke heller kan se; ham være Ære og evig Magt! Amen! (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Byd dem, som ere rige i den nærværende Verden, at de ikke hovmode sig, ej heller sætte Haab til den usikre Rigdom, men til Gud, som giver os rigeligt alle Ting at nyde; (aiōn g165)
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 at de gøre godt, ere rige paa gode Gerninger, gerne give, meddele
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 og saaledes opsamle sig selv en god Grundvold for den kommende Tid, for at de kunne gribe det sande Liv.
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
20 O, Timotheus! vogt paa den betroede Skat, idet du vender dig bort fra den vanhellige, tomme Snak og Indvendingerne fra den falskelig saakaldte Erkendelse,
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
21 hvilken nogle have bekendt sig til og ere afvegne fra Troen. Naaden være med dig!
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
