Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Gbi bi ciche lila du mba hi he vutu bey vu sunro be toh jaji ni mi kpakyeme ni itere u Irji.
that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Na ki imba be niko be ka vutu bi bana be tere totona du bana so ima u tehuwa na.
That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.
to be sober, domestic, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill reported of.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
The younger men in like manner exhort to be sober minded.
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Let servants be subject to their own masters, in all things to be agreeable to them; not contradicting;
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
not embezzling their property, but demonstrating all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 U imiri Irji ba toh didima wawumba.
For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men,
instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; (aiōn g165)
13 Keh ta zere di ta gbey tee lulu ni ze sunro u ye ivere Irji tee bu.
expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Yesu a kpa hla tere u bu ni gbu gblu da ikheu ubu wawu. na ki khi ka hu hla terema.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 U ka tere ni gbe gble de tshoro ba jaji ndah na kpa u tsirina.
These things speak and enjoin, and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
