Titus 2
1 But let your words be in agreement with true and right teaching:
Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:
2 That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.
At gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;
3 That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,
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,
4 Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children,
for at de maa faa de unge Kvinder til at besinde sig paa at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,
5 To be wise in mind, clean in heart, kind; working in their houses, living under the authority of their husbands; so that no evil may be said of the word of God.
at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.
6 To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:
Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,
7 In all things see that you are an example of good works; holy in your teaching, serious in behaviour,
idet du i alle Maader viser dig selv som et Forbillede paa gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,
8 Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.
sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen maa blive til Skamme, naar han intet ondt har at sige om os.
9 Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;
Forman Trælle til at underordne sig under deres egne Herrer, at være dem til Behag i alle Ting, ikke sige imod,
10 Not taking what is not theirs, but giving clear signs of their good faith, in all things doing credit to the teaching of God our Saviour.
ikke besvige, men vise al god Troskab, for at de i alle Maader kunne være en Pryd for Guds, vor Frelsers Lære.
11 For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,
Thi Guds Naade er bleven aabenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker
12 Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life; (aiōn g165)
og opdrager os til at forsage Ugudeligheden og de verdslige Begæringer og leve sindigt og retfærdigt og gudfrygtigt i den nærværende Verden; (aiōn g165)
13 Looking for the glad hope, the revelation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
forventende det salige Haab og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Herligheds Aabenbarelse,
14 Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.
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.
15 On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.
Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
