Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
Tú, empero, enseña lo que es conforme a la sana doctrina:
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.
que los ancianos sean sobrios, graves, prudentes, sanos en la fe, en la caridad, en la paciencia;
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,
que las ancianas asimismo sean de porte venerable, no calumniadoras, no esclavas de mucho vino, maestras en el bien,
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
para que enseñen a las jóvenes a ser amantes de sus maridos y de sus hijos, prudentes,
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.
castas, hacendosas, bondadosas, sumisas a sus maridos, para que no sea blasfemada la Palabra de Dios.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Exhorta igualmente a los jóvenes para que sean prudentes.
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;
En todo muéstrate como ejemplo de buenas obras. En la enseñanza ( muestra ) incorrupción de doctrina, dignidad,
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.
palabra sana, intachable, para que el adversario se avergüence, no teniendo nada malo que decir de nosotros.
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].
( Exhorta ) a los siervos a que obedezcan en todo a sus amos, agradándoles y no contradiciéndoles,
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.
que no los defrauden, antes bien muestren toda buena fe, a fin de que acrediten en todo la doctrina de Dios nuestro Salvador.
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].
Porque se ha manifestado la gracia salvadora de Dios a todos los hombres,
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)
la cual nos ha instruido para que renunciando a la impiedad y a los deseos mundanos vivamos sobria, justa y piadosamente en este siglo actual, (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!
aguardando la dichosa esperanza y la aparición de la gloria del gran Dios y Salvador nuestro Jesucristo;
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.
el cual se entregó por nosotros a fin de redimirnos de toda iniquidad y purificar para sí un pueblo peculiar suyo, fervoroso en buenas obras.
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!
Esto es lo que has de enseñar. Exhorta y reprende con toda autoridad. Que nadie te menosprecie.
