Titus 2

1 BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Ti pa govórí, kar se spodobi zdravemu uku:

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

Da starci bodijo trezni, spodobni, zmerni, zdravi v veri, ljubezni, stanovitnosti;

3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Starke enako v vedenji, kakor se svetim spodobi, ne obrekljive, ne mnogemu vinu vdane, dobrega učiteljice,

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Da svaré mlajše ženske, naj ljubijo može in otroke,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Spodobne bodo, čiste, dobre gospodinje, blagovoljne, pokorne svojim možém, da se ne preklinja Božja beseda.

6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Mlajše moške isto tako opominjaj, da naj bodo zmerni;

7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Stavi se vsem za zgled dobrih dél, v uku nopopačenost, dostojnost, zdravo besedo, neoporečno,

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Da se nasprotnik osramoti, ker nima kaj slabega reči o vas.

9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

Hlapci naj bodo pokorni svojim gospodom, v vsem ugodni, naj ne odgovarjajo,

10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Ne izmikajo, nego kažejo sleherno dobro zvestobo, da uk rešitelja našega Boga lepšajo v vsem.

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Kajti prikazala se je milost Božja rešilna vsem ljudém,

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)

Opominjajoč nas, da zatajivši brezbožnost in posvetno poželenje zmerno in pravično in pobožno živimo na tem svetu, (aiōn g165)

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Čakajoč blaženega upanja in prikazni slave velikega Boga in zveličarja našega Jezusa Kristusa,

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Kateri se je dal za nas, da bi nas rešil sleherne nepostavnosti in posvétil sebi za izbrano ljudstvo, goreče za vsa dobra dela.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Tako govóri in opominjaj in svári z vsem poudarkom! Nihče naj te ne zaničuje!
