< Titus 2 >

1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
Bara nani febele ilemon iyina nin ti pipin ticine.
2 [Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
Anit akune suu anan kifuu batiitikune anan yenju upi, uyinu sa uyenua anan suu, nin nanan ciu nayi.
3 Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
Awani akune inin wang nanere iso anan nakpinati, na anan kubelin ba. Naniwa suu acin kitin nssu turo b. Na idursuzo ilemong na idi gigime
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
bara ina taa awni abebene isu dert nanya kpilzu mer, iti nani likara nibinai iti usuu nales mine nang nono isoo anang yeju ipiit.
5 Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
Nlau anang lisosin licine ndarrti isau anan nanku nati nin nales mine bara uliru Kutelle wa so imong infillu
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Nanere tutung beleng azamane iso anan kpilzunupiit.
7 You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
nanya nimong vat durum atee mine nafo anan katwa ka cine; iwa dursuzu durung nlau durung tikune, nin tigbulang tine tin salin yenu.
8 teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
Belen pipinghe tuu na ti na so sa ukye, bara tina soo nin cin kitene nle na aba tifi mayarda, bara nani na imenmun inanzan duku na iba benlu nati bite ba.
9 As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
Acin ba suu unaku nati kit nacinilarimine idertin inan poo nani nibina, na iwa sa mayardan nan ghinu ba.
10 They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
Na iwa su nani likiri b, bara nani na idursu nni uyinu sa uyen, bara inan taa udursuzu bite mbelen Kutelle unan tucu bite kuna niyizi nanya tibau vat.
11 [The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
Iyen, ubolu Kutelle na uma dak nin tucu udu nanit vat.
12 God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
Unin dursuzu nani ti nari imon inanzang nin kunanizi nimun iyi ti suu anan kujijin, anit alau nin libau Kutelle nanya ku kuje. (aiōn g165)
13 [Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
Na ti din ncaa ti saru nin nayi aboo dak ngongon udiya Kutelle bit nin Yesu Kristi unan tucu.
14 He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
Yesu wa ni liti mee bara arik tinan se ulau kusain nuzu na lapibit tinin soo lau kitime, alena a ceu nibinai nsu nimon icine
15 Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
Beleng ni likara kibinai ni le mone nin te nke nin tigoo vat na imong wa nari minu ba.
