Titus 2
1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
Inakupasa kufundisha itikadi sahihi.
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
Wafundishe wazee kuwa na kiasi, wastahivu, wenye busara na wanyofu katika imani, upendo na saburi.
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
Vivyo hivyo, wafundishe wanawake wazee kuwa na mwenendo wa utakatifu, wala wasiwe wasingiziaji au walevi, bali wafundishe yale yaliyo mema,
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
ili waweze kuwafundisha wanawake vijana kuwa na kiasi, wawapende waume zao na kuwapenda watoto wao,
5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.
wawe waaminifu, watakatifu, wakitunza vyema nyumba zao, wema, watiifu kwa waume zao, ili mtu yeyote asije akalikufuru neno la Mungu.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
Vivyo hivyo, himiza vijana wawe na kiasi.
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
Katika kila jambo uwe kielelezo kwa kutenda mema. Katika mafundisho yako uonyeshe uadilifu, utaratibu,
8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
na usemi sahihi usio na lawama, ili wanaokupinga watahayari, wakose neno lolote baya la kusema juu yetu.
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
Wafundishe watumwa kuwatii mabwana zao katika kila jambo, wakijitahidi kuwapendeza wala wasijibizane nao,
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
wala wasiwaibie, bali waonyeshe kuwa wanaweza kuaminika kabisa, ili kwa kila namna wayafanye mafundisho ya Mungu Mwokozi wetu yawe ya kuvutia.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
Kwa maana neema ya Mungu ambayo inawaokoa wanadamu wote imefunuliwa.
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
Nayo yatufundisha kukataa ubaya na tamaa za kidunia, ili tupate kuishi maisha ya kiasi, ya haki na ya utaua katika ulimwengu huu wa sasa, (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
huku tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na ufunuo wa utukufu wa Mungu wetu Mkuu, aliye Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo.
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
Ndiye alijitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yetu, ili atukomboe kutoka uovu wote na kujisafishia watu kuwa mali yake Mwenyewe, yaani, wale walio na juhudi katika kutenda mema.
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Basi wewe fundisha mambo haya. Onya na kukaripia kwa mamlaka yote. Mtu yeyote asikudharau.
