Titus 2
1 But you—speak what is suitable [according] to the sound teaching.
Ele na wò be nàfia nu si nye nufiafia si de blibo.
2 Elders [are] to be temperate, dignified, sober, sound in faith, in the love, in the endurance.
Fia ame tsitsiwo be woafa tu, woanye ame siwo dze na bubu, ɖokuidziɖulawo, ame siwo ƒe xɔse de blibo le lɔlɔ̃ kple tenɔnɔ me.
3 Aged women, in like manner, in behavior as becomes sacred persons, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,
Nenema ke, fia nyɔnu tsitsiwo be woafa tu, eye woabu ame le woƒe nuwɔna ɖe sia ɖe me. Womanye ame siwo nɔa tsatsam, nɔa nya vlowo gblɔm tso amewo ŋu la o, eye womanye ahatsunolawo hã o.
4 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,
Ele be nyɔnu tsitsi siawo nafia ɖetugbiwo ale si woafa tui, eye woalɔ̃ wo srɔ̃wo kple wo viwoe.
5 sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that evil may not be spoken of the word of God.
Fia wo be woanye ɖokuidziɖulawo, ame dzadzɛwo, aƒemedɔwɔlawo, dɔmenyotɔwo kple ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokui na woawo ŋutɔ srɔ̃wo be ame aɖeke magblɔ nya tovo ɖe Mawu ƒe nya la ŋu o.
6 The younger men, in like manner, exhort [them] to be sober-minded.
Nenema ke, do ŋusẽ ɖekakpuiwo be woanye ɖokuidziɖulawo.
7 Concerning all things, present yourself [as] a pattern of good works—in the teaching [with] uncorruptedness, dignity,
Tsɔ ɖokuiwò ɖo kpɔɖeŋui na wo le nu sia nu me, to nu si nyo la wɔwɔ me. Ɖe nuteƒewɔwɔ kple moveviɖoɖo fia le wò nufiafia me.
8 sound discourse [that is] blameless, so that he who is of the contrary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.
Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, wò nuƒoƒo neto mɔ ɖeka be womakpɔ kpɔtsɔtsɔ le eŋu o, ale be ŋu nakpe ame siwo tsia tsitre ɖe ŋuwò la, elabena nya vɔ̃ aɖeke mele wo si woagblɔ tso mía ŋu o.
9 Servants [are] to be subject to their own masters, to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
Fia kluviwo be woaɖo to woƒe aƒetɔwo le nu sia nu me, woadze agbagba awɔ nu adze wo ŋu, eye womegaɖo nya ŋu na woƒe aƒetɔwo o.
10 not stealing, but showing all good steadfastness, that the teaching of God our Savior they may adorn in all things.
Fia wo hã be womegafi woƒe aƒetɔwo o, ke boŋ woaɖe nuteƒewɔwɔ nyui afia be woate ŋu aka ɖe wo dzi blibo ɣe sia ɣi ale be le mɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu la, woawɔ nufiafia tso Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela ŋu wòadze ame ŋu.
11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,
Elabena Mawu ƒe amenuveve si hea ɖeɖe vanɛ la do na amewo katã.
12 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, we may live soberly, and righteously, and piously in the present age, (aiōn g165)
Efia mí be míagblɔ “Ao” na mawumavɔmavɔ̃ kple xexemenudzodzrowo, eye míanɔ agbe le ɖokuidziɖuɖu, dzɔdzɔenyenye kple mawuvɔvɔ̃ me le fifixexea me, (aiōn g165)
13 waiting for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
esi míele lalam na yayraŋkeke si míele mɔ kpɔm na, yayraŋkeke si dzi woaɖe míaƒe Mawu gã kple Ɖela Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe afia le.
14 who gave Himself for us, that He might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.
Ame si tsɔ eɖokui na ɖe mía ta be yeaɖe mí tso vɔ̃ɖinyenye katã me, be wòakɔ mía ŋuti na eɖokui, ame siwo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, eye wole klalo be woawɔ nu si nyo la.
15 Speak these things, and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise you!
Eya ta fia nu siawo. De dzi ƒo na wò ameawo, eye nàka mo na wo kple ŋusẽ katã. Mègana ame aɖeke nado vlo wò o.
