Titus 2

1 But as for yoʋ, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine.

Kodwa wena khuluma izinto ezifanele imfundiso ephilileyo.

2 Elderly men are to be sober-minded, dignified, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

Amadoda amadala ukuthi azithinte, ahlonipheke, engaqondileyo, ephilile ekholweni, ethandweni, ekubekezeleni;

3 Elderly women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderous or enslaved to much wine, but teaching what is good,

abesifazana abadala ngokunjalo ukuthi baziphathe ngokufanele abangcwele, bangabi ngabahlebayo, bangafuywa liwayini elinengi, abafundisi bokuhle,

4 so that they can admonish the young women to be loving to their husbands, loving to their children,

ukuze bafundise abesifazana abatsha ukuthi baqonde, babengabathandi babomkabo, bathande abantwana babo,

5 sensible, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may 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 of sound mind.

Abesilisa abatsha ngokunjalo ubakhuthaze ukuthi babe ngabaqondileyo;

7 Show yoʋrself to be a model of good works in every way, and in yoʋr teaching show integrity, dignity, incorruptibility,

mayelana lazo zonke izinto zitshengise uyisibonelo sezenzo ezinhle: Ekufundiseni okungabolanga, ubunzulu, ukuqonda,

8 and sound speech that is above reproach, so that any opponent may be put to shame because he has nothing bad to say about us.

ilizwi eliphilileyo, elingasolekiyo; ukuze omelana lani abe lenhloni, aswele ulutho olubi angalukhuluma ngani.

9 Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters and well-pleasing in everything, not talking back,

Khuthaza izigqili ukuthi zizehlisele ngaphansi kwawazo amakhosi, zikholeke ezintweni zonke, zingaphikisi,

10 not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in every way they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior.

zingantshontshi, kodwa zitshengise konke ukuthembeka okuhle, ukuze zicecise imfundiso kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu ezintweni zonke.

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all people,

Ngoba ubonakele umusa kaNkulunkulu osindisayo ebantwini bonke,

12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly manner 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 wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory 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 works.

owazinikelela thina, ukuze asihlenge ebubini bonke, azihlambululele isizwe esikhethekileyo, esitshisekela imisebenzi emihle.

15 Declare these things; encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise yoʋ.

Khuluma lezizinto, ukhuthaze, ukhuze ulamandla wonke. Kungabi khona umuntu okudelelayo.
