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 aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience;
3 Na ki imba be niko be ka vutu bi bana be tere totona du bana so ima u tehuwa na.
The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
That they may teach the young women to be sober, 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] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
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 concerning you.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
[Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 U imiri Irji ba toh didima wawumba.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, 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 that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our 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.
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 exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
