Titus 2
1 But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —
Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:
2 That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;
at gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;
3 Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —
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 constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of 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 soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;
at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.
6 The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:
Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,
7 In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,
idet du i alle Måder viser dig selv som et Forbillede på gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,
8 healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:
sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen må blive til Skamme, når han intet ondt har at sige om os.
9 Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, 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 taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.
ikke besvige, men vise al god Troskab, for at de i alle Måder kunne være en Pryd for Guds, vor Frelsers Lære.
11 For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,
Thi Guds Nåde er bleven åbenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker
12 Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (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 Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —
forventende det salige Håb og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Herligheds Åbenbarelse,
14 Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.
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 As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!
Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
