Tito 2

1 A KA, e olelo aku oe i na mea i ku i ke ao pono ana'ku;

You however, should speak of such subjects as properly have a place in sound teaching.

2 I makaala na kanaka kahiko, i hanohano, i kuoo, i ku pono i ka manaoio, a me ke aloha, a me ke abonui.

Teach that the older men should be soberly clear minded, dignified and self-controlled – sound in faith, love, and patient endurance.

3 A i ku hoi ka noho ana o na luwahine i ka pono o na haipule, aole niania wale, aole lilo i ka waina nui, i mau kumuao lakou i ka pono;

So, too, that the older women should live reverent lives, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking.

4 I ao aku lakou i na wahine hou e noho naauao, e aloha aku i ka lakou mau kane, a me ka lakou mau keiki,

They should teach what is good, so as to train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 E noonoo pono hoi, e kolohe ole, e noho ma ka hale, i maikai hoi, e hoolohe ana i ka lakou mau kane ponoi, i olelo ino ole ia ka olelo a ke Akua.

and to be self-controlled, pure-minded, to be watching over their home, to be kind, respecting the authority of their husbands, so that no one will speak badly of God’s message.

6 A hooikaika aku hoi oe i na kanaka hou e hoouaaupono.

In the same way with the younger men – encourage them to be self-controlled.

7 Ma na mea a pau e hoike aku oe ia oe iho he kumuhoohalike no na bana maikai; a ma ke ao ana'ku hoi, he wahahee ole, he hanohano, a he oiaio;

In all things, set an example of doing good. In your teaching, show integrity and seriousness –

8 E hoike i ka olelo pono, aole e hiki ke hoahewaia mai; i hilahila ai ka mea e hoookoa ana, no ka loaa ole ia ia ka hala e olelo ino mai ai no oukou.

let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed when they fail to find anything bad to say about us.

9 E ao aku i na kauwa e hoolohe lakou i ko lakou mau haku iho, a e hooluolu lea aku hoi ma ua mea a pau, aole pakike aku;

Tell slaves to respect their owner’s authority in all circumstances, and to try their best to please them.

10 Aole lawe wale, aka, e hoike ana i ke ku pono loa, i hoomaikai aku ai lakou i ka olelo a ko kakou Ola a ke Akua ma na mea a pau.

Teach them not to contradict or to pilfer, but to show such praiseworthy fidelity in everything, as to recommend the teaching about God our Savior by all that they do.

11 No ka mea, ua ikea mai ko ke Akua aloha e ola'i e na kanaka a pau,

For the loving kindness of God has been revealed, bringing salvation for all,

12 E ao mai ana ia kakou e pale aku i ka haihaia, a me na kuko hewa o keia ao, a e noho kakou ma ka uhauha ole, a ma ka pono, a ma ka haipule iloko o ke ao nei: (aiōn g165)

leading us to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives here in this present age, (aiōn g165)

13 E kiai ana hoi i ka manaolana e pomaikai ai, a me ka ikea nani ana mai o ke Akua nui a o ko kakou Ola o Iesu Kristo;

while awaiting our blessed hope – the appearing in glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.

14 O ka mea i haawi mai ia ia iho no kakou, e hoopakele ia kakou i ka hewa a pau, a e huikala mai nona i lahui ponoi e hooikaika ana i na hana maikai.

For he gave himself on our behalf, to deliver us from all wickedness, and to purify for himself a people who should be truly his own and eager to do good.

15 O keia mau mea kau e olelo aku ai, me ke ao aku, a me ka papa aku ma ko ka luna pono a pau. Mai hoowahawaha mai kekahi ia oe.

Tell them of all this, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone belittle you.
