Titus 2
1 I wu u ka hla njaaji ilan.
But do thou speak 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 aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the 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.
the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 Du ba tsoro imba be tsitsama itere sunko wa balilo.
that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,
5 Du mba hi be mlaya mba komba bata tee naki itere Irji a ni bi kerekereme.
chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 Na ki u ka hla imirize du mba hey be sisuron.
Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:
7 Ko ni konrime u ka zeren dedeme.
in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;
8 Hla tere be dedema. bewa bana toh itere Irji na Ishan ka temba.
that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.
9 I miri ko mba wo tere ni tei komba ni mi kogeh mba na sunyu ni mbana.
Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,
10 Du ba na tee yibi na. Mba ka ji kpakyeme U Irji gbahgbah me.
not answering frowardly, 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, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;
teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and 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 the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and 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 speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
