< Titus 2 >

1 BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
Ɛsɛ sɛ wokyerɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ pa a wagye ato mu.
2 that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
Ka kyerɛ nkɔkoraa na wɔmma wɔn ani nna hɔ, wɔnyɛ anyansafoɔ, na wɔnhyɛ wɔn ho so; wɔn gyidie mu nyɛ den, wɔnnya ɔdɔ na wɔntumi ntena ɔhaw mu.
3 That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;
Saa ara nso na ka kyerɛ mmerewa na wɔmmɔ ɔbra a ɛyɛ kronn. Wɔnnni nsekuro na wɔnnyɛ asadweam nso. Wɔnkyerɛ akyerɛ pa,
4 that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children,
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnam so bɛtumi ama mmabaawa adɔ wɔn kununom ne wɔn mma,
5 to be sober, domestic, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill reported of.
ama wɔatumi ahyɛ wɔn ho so, ayɛ kronn na wɔayɛ awarefoɔ pa a wɔtie wɔn kununom asɛm, na obi anka bɔne amfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho.
6 The younger men in like manner exhort to be sober minded.
Saa ara na hyɛ mmeranteɛ na wɔnnya ahohyɛsoɔ.
7 In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,
Nneɛma nyinaa mu, fa wo ho yɛ nhwɛsoɔ pa wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Di nokorɛ na ma wʼani nku wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
8 sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.
Ka nsɛm a ɛho te na obi antumi antia mu na ama atamfoɔ ani awu sɛ wɔnnya asɛm bɔne nka mfa yɛn ho.
9 Let servants be subject to their own masters, in all things to be agreeable to them; not contradicting;
Ɛsɛ sɛ asomfoɔ tie wɔn wuranom na adeɛ nyinaa mu, wɔsɔ wɔn wuranom ani. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyiyi nsɛm ano
10 not embezzling their property, but demonstrating all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
anaa wɔbɔ wɔn korɔno. Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ nyinaa mu, wɔyɛ papa na wɔdi nokorɛ na ɛnam so ma biribiara a wɔyɛ no de animuonyamhyɛ aba nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no ho.
11 For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men,
Onyankopɔn adom a ɛde nkwagyeɛ ba no ayi no ho adi akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
12 instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; (aiōn g165)
Na adom no kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛmpa asetena a ɛho nteɛ no ne ewiase akɔnnɔ akyi na yɛntena ase ahohyɛsoɔ, kronnyɛ ne Onyamesuro mu wɔ ewiase ha. (aiōn g165)
13 expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
Yɛwɔ anidasoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a yɛretwɛn Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ a ɔne Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo no ba a ɔbɛba bio wɔ animuonyam mu no.
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Ɔde ne ho maa yɛn de gyee yɛn firii bɔne mu, ɔyɛɛ yɛn kronn de yɛn yɛɛ ne nko ara dea; nnipa a yɛpɛ papayɛ.
15 These things speak and enjoin, and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Kyerɛkyerɛ saa nneɛma yi na gyina wo tumi so hyɛ wʼatiefoɔ nkuran, ka wɔn anim. Mma wɔn mu bi mmu wo abomfiaa.
