Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
But do you, on your part, speak what becomes sound teaching;
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 older men be self-controlled, serious and sober-minded, 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 older women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers or slaves to much wine, but teachers of what is right.
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
They should train the younger women to love their husbands and children,
5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.
to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind and submissive to their husbands, in order that God’s message be not maligned.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
The younger men exhort to be sober-minded; in every respect showing yourself an example of good works.
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
In your teaching be serious and sincere.
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Exhort slaves to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in every respect;
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
not to contradict nor pilfer, but to exhibit praiseworthy trustworthiness in every thing, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 U imiri Irji ba toh didima wawumba.
"For God’s grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men
And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
13 Keh ta zere di ta gbey tee lulu ni ze sunro u ye ivere Irji tee bu.
While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory 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.
He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."
15 U ka tere ni gbe gble de tshoro ba jaji ndah na kpa u tsirina.
Thus speak, exhort, reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
