Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
А ти говори, що відповідає здоровій науці.
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.
Щоб старі чоловіки твере́зі були, поважні, помірковані, здорові у вірі, у любові, у терпеливості.
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,
Щоб старі жінки́ в своїм стані так само були, як належить святим, — не обмо́вниці, не відда́ні п'янству, навчали добра,
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
щоб навчали жіно́к молодих любити своїх чоловіків, любити дітей,
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.
щоб були помірковані, чисті, господа́рні, добрі, слухня́ні своїм чоловікам, щоб не зневажалося Боже Слово.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Так само благай юнакі́в, щоб були помірковані.
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;
У всім сам себе подавай за зразка добрих діл, у навча́нні непорушеність, повагу,
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.
слово здорове, неосу́дливе, щоб противник був засоромлений, не мавши нічого лихого казати про нас.
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].
Раби щоб корилися панам своїм, щоб догоджали, не пере́чили,
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.
не крали, але виявляли всяку добру вірність, щоб у всьому вони прикрашали науку Спасителя нашого Бога.
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].
Бо з'явилася Божа благода́ть, що спасає всіх людей,
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)
і навчає нас, щоб ми, відцуравшись безбожности та світських пожадли́востей, жили́ помірковано та праведно, і побожно в тепе́рішнім віці, (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!
і чекали блаженної надії та з'явлення слави великого Бога й Спаса нашого Христа Ісуса,
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.
що Само́го Себе дав за нас, щоб нас визволити від усякого беззако́нства та очи́стити Собі людей ви́браних, у добрих ділах запопа́дливих.
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!
Оце говори та нагадуй, та з усяким нака́зом карта́й. Хай тобою ніхто не погорду́є!
