Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
Shin neeni suure timirttiya phalqqonna timirtte tamaarssanaw bessees.
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.
Cima addeti banttana haareyssata, woppu gidayssata, bonchchettidayssata, ammanon, siiqoninne dandda7an, mino gidana mela zora.
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,
Hessadakka, cima maccasay bantta duussan geeshshata, zigironnayssata, woyne ushshan haarettonnayssatanne lo77obaa tamaarsseyssata gidana mela tamaarssa.
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
Entti hessada hanikko yalaga maccasay bantta azinatanne bantta nayta siiqana mela tamaarssanaw dandda7osona.
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.
Xoossaa qaalay borettonna mela banttana haareyssata, geeshshata, bantta son ootheyssata, keehatanne bantta azinatas kiitetteyssata gidana mela yalaga maccasaa tamaarssona.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Hessadakka, yalaga addati banttana haarana mela zora.
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;
Neeni ne huu7en lo77o ooso ubban enttaw leemiso gida. Neeni ne timirttiyan eqqidayssanne ammanettidayssa gida.
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.
Nu morkketi nuna zigiranaw gaasoyiyabay enttaw dhayin entti yeellatana mela neeni borettonna lo77o oda odetta.
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].
Aylleti ubbaban bantta godatas kiitettana mela entta ufayssana melanne enttara palamonna mela zora.
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.
Entti bantta godatappe kaysotoppo. Hessika, nuna ashshiya Xoossaa timirttey, ubba ogen dosettidayssa gidana mela bantta oothiya oosuwan ammanetteyssata gideyssa bessana mela entta zora.
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].
Ase ashshiya Xoossaa aadho keehatethay asa ubbaas qonccis.
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)
He aadho keehatethay, nu nagaranne ha alamiya amuwaa aggidi, ha wodiyan nuna haaridi, tuma ayyaana de7uwaninne xillotethan daana mela nuna tamaarssees. (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!
Nuuni anjjettida ufayssaa gidida gita Xoossaanne nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosa bonchcho qonccethaa naagoos.
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.
Iita ooso ubbaafe nuna wozanawunne lo77obaa oothanaw amottiya ba geeshsha asi kessanaw nu gisho bana aathi immis.
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!
Neeni hayssa tamaarssa; kumetha maatan zora, seera; oonikka nena kadhoppo.
