Titus 2

1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.

Zvino iwe taura zvinhu zvakafanira dzidziso yakagwinya.

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.

Varume vakuru kuti vazvibate, vanokudzwa, vakangwara, vakagwinya parutendo, parudo, pakutsungirira;

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,

saizvozvo vakadzi vakuru kuti pamafambiro vave sezvakafanira vatsvene, kwete vacheri, kwete varanda vewaini zhinji, vadzidzisi vezvinhu zvakanaka,

4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.

kuti vadzidzise vakadzi vadiki kuchenjera, kuda varume vavo, nekuda vana vavo,

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.

vakazvibata, vakachena, vachengeti vemisha, vakanaka, vanozviisa pasi pevarume vavo pachavo, kuti shoko raMwari rirege kumhurwa.

6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].

Varume vadiki saizvozvo ukurudzire kuti vave vanozvidzora;

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;

pazvinhu zvese iwe uzviratidze uri mufananidzo wamabasa akanaka, padzidziso yechokwadi, mugariro unokudzwa nekuvimbika,

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.

shoko rakagwinya, risingashoreki, kuti uyo wedivi rinopikisa anyare, asina chinhu chakaipa chaangareva pamusoro penyu.

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].

Kurudzira varanda kuzviisa pasi pavatenzi vavo pachavo, kuti vafadze pazvese, vasingakakavari,

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.

vasinganyimi, asi varatidze kutendeka kwakanaka kwese, kuti vashongedze dzidziso yaMwari Muponesi wedu pazvese.

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].

Nokuti nyasha dzaMwari dzinoponesa dzakaratidzwa kuvanhu vese,

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)

dzichidzidzisa isu kuti, tirambe kusanamata Mwari uye kuchiva kwenyika, tirarame nekuchenjera uye kururama nekunamata Mwari panyika yaikozvino, (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!

tichimirira tariro yakaropafadzwa nekuratidzwa kwekubwinya kwaMwari mukuru neMuponesi wedu Jesu Kristu,

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.

wakazvipira isu, kuti adzikunure isu pakuipa kwese, uye azvichenurire vanhu vakasanangurwa, vanoshingairira mabasa akanaka.

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!

Taura zvinhu izvi, uye kurudzira, uye tsiura nesimba rese. Kusava nemunhu anokuzvidza.
