Tito 2
1 Nambo mmwejo njiganye majiganyo ga usyene.
But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
2 Mwasalile achalume ŵachekulwipe aŵe ŵakukombola kulilongosya achinsyene ni ŵakuchimbichikwa, ni ŵakulitulusya, ni ŵautindimisyo mu chikulupi ni mu unonyelo ni mu upililiu.
[Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
3 Ni achakongwe ŵachekulwipe iyoyo peyo mwasalile atameje mu utame wa kwajogopa Akunnungu. Analambusye atamuno akaŵa achikapolo ŵakukolelwa divai, nambo ŵakwiganya yaili yambone pe,
Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
4 kuti ŵajiganye achiŵali kwanonyela achiŵankwawo ni kwanonyela ŵanache ŵao,
in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
5 ni ŵakukombola kulilongosya achinsyene ni ŵaswejele, ŵakugagosa yambone majumba gao ni ŵa ntima wambone ni ŵakwapilikanichisya achiŵankwawo kuti Liloŵe lya Akunnungu likasatukanwa ni ŵandu.
Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
6 Ni iyoyo achachanda mwalimbisye kuti akombole kulilongosya achinsyene.
As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
7 Mu indu yose mwasyene mme chisyasyo cha kupanganya yambone nchilosyaga usyene ni mmajiganyo genu nlosye kuti mmwe mwasyene nkugakulupilila ni kugakuya.
You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
8 Maloŵe gankuŵecheta ganaŵe ni chileŵo chachilichose kuti ŵammagongo ŵenu jatende soni, pakuŵa nganakola chachilichose changalumbana chakusala nkati ngani syetu.
teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
9 Achikapolo ŵapilikanichisye achakulu ŵao ŵa pachilambo ni kwanonyelesya mu yanayose. Alisepusye kwangangana nawo,
As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
10 pane kwajiŵa indu yao. Nambo alosye katema kose kuti ali ŵa ntima wambone ni ŵakukulupichika, kuti majiganyo ga Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu galoleche yambone mu yose.
They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
11 Pakuŵa umbone wa Akunnungu waukwikanawo ukulupusyo kwa ŵandu wose uwunukulikwe.
[The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
12 Nombewo ukutujiganya kuti tuleche chigongomalo ni tama syangalumbana sya pachilambo pano, tutameje kwa kulilongosya achinsyene ni kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kutama kwa kwanonyelesya Akunnungu mu chilambo chino, (aiōn g165)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
13 tuchilindililaga lyuŵa lya upile lyatukulilolela, pelepo chiutyochele ukulu wa Akunnungu Ŵakulu ni Nkulupusyo jwetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
[Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
14 Jwelejo ŵalityosisye nsyene kwa liwamba lyetu uwe kuti atuwombole mu ileŵo yose ni kutuswejesya kuti tuŵe ŵakwe asyene, ŵandu ŵaali ni lung'wanu lwakupanganya ipanganyo yambone.
He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
15 Sambano mwajiganye indu yi kwa ulamusi wose, mwalimbisye mitima ni kwajamuka. Mundu jwalijose anannyosye.
Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
