Titus 2

1 But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —

yathārthasyopadeśasya vākyāni tvayā kathyantāṁ

2 That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;

viśeṣataḥ prācīnalokā yathā prabuddhā dhīrā vinītā viśvāse premni sahiṣṇutāyāñca svasthā bhaveyustadvat

3 Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —

prācīnayoṣito'pi yathā dharmmayogyam ācāraṁ kuryyuḥ paranindakā bahumadyapānasya nighnāśca na bhaveyuḥ

4 That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

kintu suśikṣākāriṇyaḥ satya īśvarasya vākyaṁ yat na nindyeta tadarthaṁ yuvatīḥ suśīlatām arthataḥ patisneham apatyasnehaṁ

5 soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;

vinītiṁ śucitvaṁ gṛhiṇītvaṁ saujanyaṁ svāminighnañcādiśeyustathā tvayā kathyatāṁ|

6 The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:

tadvad yūno'pi vinītaye prabodhaya|

7 In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,

tvañca sarvvaviṣaye svaṁ satkarmmaṇāṁ dṛṣṭāntaṁ darśaya śikṣāyāñcāvikṛtatvaṁ dhīratāṁ yathārthaṁ

8 healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:

nirddoṣañca vākyaṁ prakāśaya tena vipakṣo yuṣmākam apavādasya kimapi chidraṁ na prāpya trapiṣyate|

9 Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

dāsāśca yat svaprabhūnāṁ nighnāḥ sarvvaviṣaye tuṣṭijanakāśca bhaveyuḥ pratyuttaraṁ na kuryyuḥ

10 not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

kimapi nāpahareyuḥ kintu pūrṇāṁ suviśvastatāṁ prakāśayeyuriti tān ādiśa| yata evamprakāreṇāsmakaṁ trāturīśvarasya śikṣā sarvvaviṣaye tai rbhūṣitavyā|

11 For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,

yato hetostrāṇājanaka īśvarasyānugrahaḥ sarvvān mānavān pratyuditavān

12 Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (aiōn g165)

sa cāsmān idaṁ śikṣyati yad vayam adharmmaṁ sāṁsārikābhilāṣāṁścānaṅgīkṛtya vinītatvena nyāyeneśvarabhaktyā cehaloke āyu ryāpayāmaḥ, (aiōn g165)

13 Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —

paramasukhasyāśām arthato 'smākaṁ mahata īśvarasya trāṇakarttu ryīśukhrīṣṭasya prabhāvasyodayaṁ pratīkṣāmahe|

14 Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.

yataḥ sa yathāsmān sarvvasmād adharmmāt mocayitvā nijādhikārasvarūpaṁ satkarmmasūtsukam ekaṁ prajāvargaṁ pāvayet tadartham asmākaṁ kṛte ātmadānaṁ kṛtavān|

15 As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!

etāni bhāṣasva pūrṇasāmarthyena cādiśa prabodhaya ca, ko'pi tvāṁ nāvamanyatāṁ|
