Tit 2
1 Men pou ou menm, pale bagay ki apwopriye a bon doktrin nan.
But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.
2 Mesye nan laj avanse yo dwe tanpere, dign, rezonab solid nan lafwa, nan lanmou, ak nan pèseverans.
And teach the older men to be watchful in their minds, and to be sober, and to be pure, and to be sound in the faith, and in love and 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
And so also the elder women, that they be in behavior as becometh the fear of God; and not to be slanderers; and not to be addicted to much wine; and to be inculcators of good things,
4 pou yo kapab ankouraje jèn fanm yo pou renmen mari yo, e pou renmen pitit yo,
making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and 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 chaste and holy, and to take good care of their households, and to be obedient to their husbands; so that no one may reproach the word of God.
6 Menm jan an, ankouraje jennonm yo pou yo toujou reflechi kon moun serye.
And likewise exhort young men to be sober.
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,
And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,
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.
such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against us.
9 Ankouraje esklav yo pou soumèt a pwòp mèt yo nan tout bagay, pou fè yo plezi, san diskisyon,
Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer;
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.
but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things.
11 Paske lagras Bondye gen tan parèt, e pote sali pou tout moun
For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed 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)
and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God, (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 the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;
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 recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.
15 Pale, egzòte, e repwoche nan bagay sa yo avèk tout otorite. Pa kite pèsòn meprize ou.
These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
