Tit 2
1 Men pou ou menm, pale bagay ki apwopriye a bon doktrin nan.
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2 Mesye nan laj avanse yo dwe tanpere, dign, rezonab solid nan lafwa, nan lanmou, ak nan pèseverans.
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3 Fanm nan laj avanse yo, menm jan an, yo dwe sen nan konpòtman yo pa nan fè medizans, ni vin esklav a anpil diven, e yo dwe ap enstwi sa ki bon
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 pou yo kapab ankouraje jèn fanm yo pou renmen mari yo, e pou renmen pitit yo,
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 pou yo kapab reflechi kon moun serye, rete san tach, fè travay lakay yo, janti, soumèt a pwòp mari yo, pou yo pa dezonore pawòl Bondye a.
[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Menm jan an, ankouraje jennonm yo pou yo toujou reflechi kon moun serye.
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
7 Nan tout bagay, montre tèt ou kòm yon egzanp a bon zèv. Lè ou enstwi, fè l avèk tout verite nan doktrin nan, konpòtman ki dign, ak yon bi verite ki pa konwonpi,
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 rezonab ak pawòl ki san repwòch, pou sila ki opoze yo kapab vin wont, pou yo pa gen anyen mal pou di sou nou.
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 Ankouraje esklav yo pou soumèt a pwòp mèt yo nan tout bagay, pou fè yo plezi, san diskisyon,
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
10 pa nan vòlè, men nan montre tout bon lafwa nan tout bagay pou yo kapab anbeli doktrin Bondye a, Sovè nou an, nan tout jan.
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Paske lagras Bondye gen tan parèt, e pote sali pou tout moun
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 kap enstwi nou pou rejte sa ki pa a Bondye ak dezi mond lan pou viv avèk bon rezon, ladwati, ak yon vi fidèl nan tan prezan sila a; (aiōn g165)
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 nan chèche lesperans beni ak aparisyon laglwa a gran Bondye ak Sovè nou an, Jésus Kri
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 ki te bay tèt Li pou nou, pou rachte nou de tout zèv malveyan, e pirifye pou tèt Li yon pèp pou pwòp posesyon pa Li, ki zele pou fè bon zèv.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
15 Pale, egzòte, e repwoche nan bagay sa yo avèk tout otorite. Pa kite pèsòn meprize ou.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
