Titus 2

1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.

1 Du derimod, tal, hvad der sømmer sig for den sunde Lære:

2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.

2 at gamle Mænd skulle være ædruelige, ærbare, sindige, sunde i Troen, i Kærligheden, i Udholdenheden;

3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.

3 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 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

4 for at de må få de unge Kvinder til at besinde sig på at elske deres Mænd og at elske deres Børn,

5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

5 at være sindige, kyske, huslige, gode, deres egne Mænd undergivne, for at Guds Ord ikke skal bespottes.

6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

6 Forman ligeledes de unge Mænd til at være sindige,

7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

7 idet du i alle Måder viser dig selv som et Forbillede på gode Gerninger og i Læren viser Ufordærvethed, Ærbarhed,

8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

8 sund, ulastelig Tale, for at Modstanderen må blive til Skamme, når han intet ondt har at sige om os.

9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

9 Forman Trælle til at underordne sig under deres egne Herrer, at være dem til Behag i alle Ting, ikke sige imod,

10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

10 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 grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.

11 Thi Guds Nåde er bleven åbenbaret til Frelse for alle Mennesker

12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

12 og opdrager os til at forsage Ugudeligheden og de verdslige Begæringer og leve sindigt og retfærdigt og gudfrygtigt i den nærværende Verden;

13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

13 forventende det salige Håb og den store Guds og vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Herligheds Åbenbarelse,

14 He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

14 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 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

15 Tal dette, og forman og irettesæt med al Myndighed; lad ingen ringeagte dig!
