Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
Nʼakụkụ nke gị, na-akụzi ihe kwesiri eziokwu nke okwukwe.
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.
Gwa ndị okenye nwoke ka ha nwee anya udo, ka ha nwee akọnuche zuruoke, ka ha bụrụ ndị kwesiri nsọpụrụ, ndị okwukwe ha siri ike, ndị na-ahụ ibe ha nʼanya, na ndị nwekwara ntachiobi.
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,
Nʼotu aka ahụ, gwa ndị okenye nwanyị ka ha na-eme omume dị ka ụmụ nwanyị dị nsọ. Ka ha ghara ịbụ ndị na-agba asịrị maọbụ ohu nke ịṅụbiga mmanya oke. Kama ha na-akụzi ihe dị mma.
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
Ha ga-esi otu a kuziere ụmụ agbọghọ ka ha ga-esi hụ di ha na ụmụ ha nʼanya.
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.
Ka ha bụrụkwa ndị akọnuche ha zuruoke, ndị dị ọcha nʼobi, ndị na-edozi ezinaụlọ di ha, ndị na-eme ebere, ndị na-edo onwe ha nʼokpuru di ha, ka onye ọbụla ghara ikwulu okwu Chineke.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Nʼotu ụzọ ahụ kwa, gbaakwa ụmụ okorobịa ume ka ha jide onwe ha.
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;
Nʼihe niile ị na-eme, mee onwe gị ihe ịma atụ ndị ọzọ ga na-eṅomi nʼime ezi omume. Na nkuzi gị niile, gosikwa izuoke na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi.
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.
Ka ozi gị bụrụ nke kwụ ọtọ mmadụ apụghị ịma ikpe, ka ihere mee onye na-agbagha gị okwu, ebe ọ bụ na onweghi ihe ọjọọ ọ ga-ekwu gbasara anyị.
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].
Gwa ndị ohu ka ha na-erubere ndị nwe ha isi, ka ha na-eme ihe ga-atọ onyenwe ha ụtọ mgbe niile. Ka ha hapụ ịsa ndị nwe ha okwu,
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.
ka ha ghara izu ohi, kama ka ha gosi na ha bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha ga-ewetara ihe anyị na-akụzi maka Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị otuto nʼihe niile ha na-eme.
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].
Nʼihi na Chineke emela ka amara ya nke wetaara mmadụ niile nzọpụta pụta ìhè.
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)
Ọ bụkwa amara a na-akụziri anyị ka anyị jụ ndụ asọpụrụghị Chineke na nke ịgbaso ọchịchọ ọjọọ dị nʼụwa, kama ka anyị bie ndụ dị ka ndịisi zuruoke na ndụ ezi omume, nakwa ịtụ egwu Chineke nʼọgbọ nke oge a. (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!
Otu a ka anyị ga-esi na-eche olileanya anyị dị ngọzị bụ ọbịbịa nke otuto nke Chineke anyị dị ukwuu, na Onye nzọpụta anyị bụ Jisọs Kraịst.
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.
Ọ bụ ya jiri onwe ya chụọ aja nʼihi anyị, ka ọ gbapụta anyị site nʼajọ omume anyị niile, na ido ndị ga-abụ ndị nke ya ọcha nye onwe ya, ndị ọ na-agụ agụụ ime ihe dị mma mgbe niile.
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!
Na-akụzi ihe ndị a, werekwa ha na-adụ ndị gị ọdụ site nʼikike niile i nwere. Werekwa ha na-atụ ha mmehie ha nʼihu. Ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara ilelị gị anya.
