Tito 2
1 Ele na wò be nàfia nu si nye nufiafia si de blibo.
But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
2 Fia ame tsitsiwo be woafa tu, woanye ame siwo dze na bubu, ɖokuidziɖulawo, ame siwo ƒe xɔse de blibo le lɔlɔ̃ kple tenɔnɔ me.
that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
3 Nenema ke, fia nyɔnu tsitsiwo be woafa tu, eye woabu ame le woƒe nuwɔna ɖe sia ɖe me. Womanye ame siwo nɔa tsatsam, nɔa nya vlowo gblɔm tso amewo ŋu la o, eye womanye ahatsunolawo hã o.
and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
4 Ele be nyɔnu tsitsi siawo nafia ɖetugbiwo ale si woafa tui, eye woalɔ̃ wo srɔ̃wo kple wo viwoe.
that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 Fia wo be woanye ɖokuidziɖulawo, ame dzadzɛwo, aƒemedɔwɔlawo, dɔmenyotɔwo kple ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokui na woawo ŋutɔ srɔ̃wo be ame aɖeke magblɔ nya tovo ɖe Mawu ƒe nya la ŋu o.
to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
6 Nenema ke, do ŋusẽ ɖekakpuiwo be woanye ɖokuidziɖulawo.
Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
7 Tsɔ ɖokuiwò ɖo kpɔɖeŋui na wo le nu sia nu me, to nu si nyo la wɔwɔ me. Ɖe nuteƒewɔwɔ kple moveviɖoɖo fia le wò nufiafia me.
In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
8 Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, wò nuƒoƒo neto mɔ ɖeka be womakpɔ kpɔtsɔtsɔ le eŋu o, ale be ŋu nakpe ame siwo tsia tsitre ɖe ŋuwò la, elabena nya vɔ̃ aɖeke mele wo si woagblɔ tso mía ŋu o.
and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
9 Fia kluviwo be woaɖo to woƒe aƒetɔwo le nu sia nu me, woadze agbagba awɔ nu adze wo ŋu, eye womegaɖo nya ŋu na woƒe aƒetɔwo o.
Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
10 Fia wo hã be womegafi woƒe aƒetɔwo o, ke boŋ woaɖe nuteƒewɔwɔ nyui afia be woate ŋu aka ɖe wo dzi blibo ɣe sia ɣi ale be le mɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu la, woawɔ nufiafia tso Mawu, míaƒe Ɖela ŋu wòadze ame ŋu.
not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
11 Elabena Mawu ƒe amenuveve si hea ɖeɖe vanɛ la do na amewo katã.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 Efia mí be míagblɔ “Ao” na mawumavɔmavɔ̃ kple xexemenudzodzrowo, eye míanɔ agbe le ɖokuidziɖuɖu, dzɔdzɔenyenye kple mawuvɔvɔ̃ me le fifixexea me, (aiōn g165)
instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age (aiōn g165);
13 esi míele lalam na yayraŋkeke si míele mɔ kpɔm na, yayraŋkeke si dzi woaɖe míaƒe Mawu gã kple Ɖela Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe afia le.
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 Ame si tsɔ eɖokui na ɖe mía ta be yeaɖe mí tso vɔ̃ɖinyenye katã me, be wòakɔ mía ŋuti na eɖokui, ame siwo nye eya ŋutɔ tɔ, eye wole klalo be woawɔ nu si nyo la.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15 Eya ta fia nu siawo. De dzi ƒo na wò ameawo, eye nàka mo na wo kple ŋusẽ katã. Mègana ame aɖeke nado vlo wò o.
Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
