< Tito 2 >

1 No wee-rĩ, no nginya ũrutanage maũndũ marĩa maringaine na ũrutani ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru.
But as for you, you must speak in a manner that befits wholesome teaching.
2 Rutaga athuuri arĩa akũrũ maikarage matarĩ arĩĩu, na marĩ a gũtĩĩka, na a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na marĩ arũmu ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtĩkia, na makoragwo marĩ na wendani o na ũkirĩrĩria.
Exhort aged men to be temperate, grave, sober-minded, robust in their faith, their love and their patience.
3 O nao atumia arĩa akũrũ marutage gũikaraga na mĩikarĩre ya ũtheru, na matigatuĩke a gũcambania o na kana mamenyere kũnyuuaga ndibei nyingĩ matuĩke ta ngombo ciayo, no nĩ matuĩke a kũrutanaga maũndũ marĩa mega,
In the same way exhort aged women to let their conduct be such as becomes consecrated persons. They must not be slanderers nor enslaved to wine-drinking. They must be teachers of what is right.
4 nĩgeetha mahote kũruta atumia arĩa ethĩ kwenda athuuri ao na ciana ciao,
They should school the young women to be affectionate to their husbands and to their children, to be sober-minded, pure in their lives,
5 na matuĩke a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na atheru, na mehangʼagie na wĩra o wa kwao mũciĩ, na matuĩke atugi, na maathĩkagĩre athuuri ao, nĩgeetha gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũngĩcambia kiugo kĩa Ngai.

6 O ta ũguo-rĩ, ũmagĩrĩria aanake, na ũmataarage matuĩke a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ.
In the same way exhort the younger men to be discreet,
7 Maũndũ-inĩ mothe, tuĩka kĩonereria gĩa gwĩkaga wega maũndũ-inĩ mothe. Rĩrĩa ũkũrutana onanagia ũrũngĩrĩru, na ũtarĩ na itherũ,
and above all make your own life a pattern of right conduct, having in your teaching no taint of insincerity, but a serious tone,
8 o na waragie ciugo iria ciagĩrĩire, itangĩrutĩka mahĩtia, nĩgeetha arĩa matũkararagia maconorithio tondũ wa kwaga ũndũ mũũru mangĩaria igũrũ riitũ.
and healthy language which no one can censure, so that our opponents may feel ashamed at having nothing evil to say against us.
9 Taaraga ngombo atĩ ciathĩkagĩre aathani a cio maũndũ-inĩ mothe, na igeragie kũmakenia, no itigacookanagĩrie nao,
Exhort slaves to be always obedient to their owners, and to give them satisfaction in everything, not contradicting and not pilfering,
10 na itikamaiyage indo ciao, no cionanagie atĩ no ciĩhokwo kũna, nĩguo itũmage ũrutani wa ũhoro wa Ngai Mũhonokia witũ wendekage maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
but manifesting perfect fidelity and kind feeling, in order to bring honour to the teaching of our Saviour, God, in all things.
11 Nĩ ũndũ wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrehaga ũhonokio nĩũguũranĩirio kũrĩ andũ othe.
For the grace of God has displayed itself with healing power to all mankind,
12 Wega ũcio wa Ngai nĩguo ũtũrutaga kũregana na maũndũ marĩa matarĩ ma kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai, na merirĩria mooru ma gũkũ thĩ, na gũtũũra twĩgirĩrĩirie merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na gũtũũra na mĩtũũrĩre ya ũngai na mĩrũngĩrĩru na ya kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai mahinda-inĩ maya tũrĩ, (aiōn g165)
training us to renounce ungodliness and all the pleasures of this world, and to live sober, upright, and pious lives at the present time, (aiōn g165)
13 o tũgĩetagĩrĩra kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa kĩrĩ na kĩrathimo, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gũkaaguũranĩrio riiri wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa arĩ Ngai witũ mũnene na Mũhonokia.
in expectation of the fulfilment of our blessed hope--the Appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Nake nĩwe werutire nĩ ũndũ witũ, nĩguo atũkũũre waganu-inĩ wothe, na atherie andũ matuĩke ake kĩũmbe, arĩa marĩ na kĩyo gĩa gwĩkaga maũndũ mega.
who gave Himself for us to purchase our freedom from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a people who should be specially His own, zealous for doing good works.
15 Rĩu-rĩ, maũndũ macio nĩmo wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũrutanaga. Ũmanagĩrĩria na ũkaananagie wĩ na wathani wothe. Ndũkanareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũire.
Thus speak, exhort, reprove, with all impressiveness. Let no one make light of your authority.
