Titus 2
1 You, however, must teach what is consistent with healthy beliefs.
Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:
2 Older men shouldn't drink; they should be respectable and sensible, with a healthy trust in God, loving and patient.
at gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;
3 Similarly older women ought to behave in a way that shows they live their lives for God. They shouldn't destroy people's reputations by what they say, and they shouldn't be addicted to wine.
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 They should be teachers of what's good, teaching the young wives to love their husbands and their children.
for at de må få de unge Kvinder til at besinde sig på at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,
5 They are to be sensible and pure, working in their homes, doing good and listening to what their husbands tell them. In this way the word of God will not be spoken about badly.
at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.
6 Likewise tell the young men to be sensible.
Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,
7 You should set an example of doing good in all areas of life: show integrity and seriousness in what you teach,
idet du i alle Måder viser dig selv som et Forbillede på gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,
8 sharing healthy beliefs that can't be criticized. In this way those who are opposed will be ashamed of themselves and won't have anything bad to say about us.
sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen må blive til Skamme, når han intet ondt har at sige om os.
9 Tell servants to always obey their masters. They should try to please them and not talk back to them.
Forman Trælle til at underordne sig under deres egne Herrer, at være dem til Behag i alle Ting, ikke sige imod,
10 They shouldn't steal things for themselves, but show they are completely trustworthy so that they may rightly represent the truth about God our Savior in every way.
ikke besvige, men vise al god Troskab, for at de i alle Måder kunne være en Pryd for Guds, vor Frelsers Lære.
11 For God's grace has been revealed, bringing salvation to everyone.
Thi Guds Nåde er bleven åbenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker
12 It teaches us to reject a godless way of life with the desires of this world. Instead we should live thoughtful, self-controlled lives that are right before God in the present world (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 as we look for the wonderful hope of the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
forventende det salige Håb og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Herligheds Åbenbarelse,
14 He gave himself for us, so that he could set us free from all our wickedness, and to make us clean for him—a people who belong to him, keen to do good.
han, som gav sig selv for os, for at han måtte forløse os fra al Lovløshed og rense sig selv et Ejendomsfolk, nidkært til gode Gerninger.
15 This is what you should be teaching. You have the authority to encourage and to correct as necessary. Don't let anyone look down on you.
Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
