Titus 2
1 But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;
Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:
2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
At gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;
3 that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;
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 that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,
for at de maa faa de unge Kvinder til at besinde sig paa at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,
5 discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.
6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:
Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,
7 in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
idet du i alle Maader viser dig selv som et Forbillede paa gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,
8 a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:
sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen maa blive til Skamme, naar han intet ondt har at sige om os.
9 bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;
Forman Trælle til at underordne sig under deres egne Herrer, at være dem til Behag i alle Ting, ikke sige imod,
10 not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.
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 which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,
Thi Guds Naade er bleven aabenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker
12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things, (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 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing 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, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for 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 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
