Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
But speak thou the things which befit the 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 aged men be temperate, grave, soberminded, 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 aged women likewise be reverent in demeanour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
that they may train the young women 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] soberminded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
the younger men likewise exhort to be soberminded:
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
in all things shewing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
not purloining, but shewing 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 hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and 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.
looking for the blessed hope and appearing 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.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
15 U ka tere ni gbe gble de tshoro ba jaji ndah na kpa u tsirina.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
