Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
You, however, must teach what is consistent with healthy beliefs.
2 Gbi bi ciche lila du mba hi he vutu bey vu sunro be toh jaji ni mi kpakyeme ni itere u Irji.
Older men shouldn't drink; they should be respectable and sensible, with a healthy trust in God, loving and patient.
3 Na ki imba be niko be ka vutu bi bana be tere totona du bana so ima u tehuwa na.
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.
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
They should be teachers of what's good, teaching the young wives to love their husbands and their children.
5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.
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.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
Likewise tell the young men to be sensible.
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
You should set an example of doing good in all areas of life: show integrity and seriousness in what you teach,
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
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.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Tell servants to always obey their masters. They should try to please them and not talk back to them.
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
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.
11 U imiri Irji ba toh didima wawumba.
For God's grace has been revealed, bringing salvation to everyone.
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)
13 Keh ta zere di ta gbey tee lulu ni ze sunro u ye ivere Irji tee bu.
as we look for the wonderful hope of the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
14 Yesu a kpa hla tere u bu ni gbu gblu da ikheu ubu wawu. na ki khi ka hu hla terema.
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.
15 U ka tere ni gbe gble de tshoro ba jaji ndah na kpa u tsirina.
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.
