Titus 2
1 But you, speak what fits with faithful instruction.
Kodwa wena khuluma izinto ezifanele imfundiso ephilileyo.
2 Teach older men to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance.
Amadoda amadala ukuthi azithinte, ahlonipheke, engaqondileyo, ephilile ekholweni, ethandweni, ekubekezeleni;
3 Teach older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or being slaves to much wine, but to be teachers of what is good.
abesifazana abadala ngokunjalo ukuthi baziphathe ngokufanele abangcwele, bangabi ngabahlebayo, bangafuywa liwayini elinengi, abafundisi bokuhle,
4 In this way they may train the younger women to love their own husbands and children,
ukuze bafundise abesifazana abatsha ukuthi baqonde, babengabathandi babomkabo, bathande abantwana babo,
5 to be sensible, pure, good housekeepers, and obedient to their own husbands. They should do these things so that God's word may not be insulted.
abaqondileyo, bemhlophe, begcina amakhaya, belungile, bezehlisela ngaphansi kwawabo amadoda, ukuze ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lingadunyazwa.
6 In the same way, encourage the younger men to use good sense.
Abesilisa abatsha ngokunjalo ubakhuthaze ukuthi babe ngabaqondileyo;
7 In all ways present yourself as an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, dignity,
mayelana lazo zonke izinto zitshengise uyisibonelo sezenzo ezinhle: Ekufundiseni okungabolanga, ubunzulu, ukuqonda,
8 and a correct message, so that anyone who opposes you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
ilizwi eliphilileyo, elingasolekiyo; ukuze omelana lani abe lenhloni, aswele ulutho olubi angalukhuluma ngani.
9 Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything, to please them and not argue with them,
Khuthaza izigqili ukuthi zizehlisele ngaphansi kwawazo amakhosi, zikholeke ezintweni zonke, zingaphikisi,
10 to not steal from them, but instead to demonstrate all good faith, so that in every way they may bring credit to the teaching about God our Savior.
zingantshontshi, kodwa zitshengise konke ukuthembeka okuhle, ukuze zicecise imfundiso kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu ezintweni zonke.
11 For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all people.
Ngoba ubonakele umusa kaNkulunkulu osindisayo ebantwini bonke,
12 It trains us to reject godlessness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this age, (aiōn g165)
usifundisa ukuthi, sidele ukungakhonzi uNkulunkulu lenkanuko zomhlaba, siphile ngokuqonda langokulunga langokwesaba uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wakhathesi, (aiōn g165)
13 while we look forward to receiving our blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
silindele ithemba elibusisiweyo lokubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu loMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu,
14 Jesus gave himself for us in order to redeem us from all lawlessness and to make pure, for himself, a special people who are eager to do good works.
owazinikelela thina, ukuze asihlenge ebubini bonke, azihlambululele isizwe esikhethekileyo, esitshisekela imisebenzi emihle.
15 Speak of these things, encourage people to do them, and give correction with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
Khuluma lezizinto, ukhuthaze, ukhuze ulamandla wonke. Kungabi khona umuntu okudelelayo.
