Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
But do you inculcate the things which become wholesome 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 aged men be vigilant, grave, prudent, healthy by faith, love, patience.
3 Na ki imba be niko be ka vutu bi bana be tere totona du bana so ima u tehuwa na.
That aged women, in like manner, be in deportment as becomes sacred persons--not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, good teachers;
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
that they may persuade the young women to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children--
5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.
to be calm, chaste, careful of their families, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be defamed.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
The young men, in like manner, exhort to govern their passions.
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
In all things make yourself a pattern of good works: in teaching, show incorruptness, gravity,
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
wholesome speech which can not be condemned; that he who is on the opposite side may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say concerning you.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and in all things be careful to please, not answering again,
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
not secretly stealing, but showing 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 favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men;
teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world-- (aiōn g165)
13 Keh ta zere di ta gbey tee lulu ni ze sunro u ye ivere Irji tee bu.
expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of our 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 inculcate, and exhort, and reprove with all authority; let no one despise you.
