Titus 2
1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
Kodwa wena khuluma izinto ezifanele imfundiso ephilileyo.
2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
Amadoda amadala ukuthi azithinte, ahlonipheke, engaqondileyo, ephilile ekholweni, ethandweni, ekubekezeleni;
3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
abesifazana abadala ngokunjalo ukuthi baziphathe ngokufanele abangcwele, bangabi ngabahlebayo, bangafuywa liwayini elinengi, abafundisi bokuhle,
4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
ukuze bafundise abesifazana abatsha ukuthi baqonde, babengabathandi babomkabo, bathande abantwana babo,
5 to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
abaqondileyo, bemhlophe, begcina amakhaya, belungile, bezehlisela ngaphansi kwawabo amadoda, ukuze ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lingadunyazwa.
6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
Abesilisa abatsha ngokunjalo ubakhuthaze ukuthi babe ngabaqondileyo;
7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
mayelana lazo zonke izinto zitshengise uyisibonelo sezenzo ezinhle: Ekufundiseni okungabolanga, ubunzulu, ukuqonda,
8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
ilizwi eliphilileyo, elingasolekiyo; ukuze omelana lani abe lenhloni, aswele ulutho olubi angalukhuluma ngani.
9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
Khuthaza izigqili ukuthi zizehlisele ngaphansi kwawazo amakhosi, zikholeke ezintweni zonke, zingaphikisi,
10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
zingantshontshi, kodwa zitshengise konke ukuthembeka okuhle, ukuze zicecise imfundiso kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu ezintweni zonke.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
Ngoba ubonakele umusa kaNkulunkulu osindisayo ebantwini bonke,
12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age, (aiōn g165)
usifundisa ukuthi, sidele ukungakhonzi uNkulunkulu lenkanuko zomhlaba, siphile ngokuqonda langokulunga langokwesaba uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wakhathesi, (aiōn g165)
13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
silindele ithemba elibusisiweyo lokubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu loMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu,
14 He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
owazinikelela thina, ukuze asihlenge ebubini bonke, azihlambululele isizwe esikhethekileyo, esitshisekela imisebenzi emihle.
15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Khuluma lezizinto, ukhuthaze, ukhuze ulamandla wonke. Kungabi khona umuntu okudelelayo.
