Tito 2
1 Kasi yo, teya makambo oyo ekoki na malakisi ya peto.
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Teya na batata mibange ete balekisaka ndelo te na bizaleli na bango, bazala bato oyo bakoki na lokumu, bato na mayele, bato na kondima ya solo, bato na bolingo, mpe bato na molende.
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience;
3 Teya mpe bamama mibange ete bazala na bizaleli oyo ekoki na bato oyo bamibulisa mpo na Nzambe: basengeli te kotongaka bato mpe kozala bawumbu ya masanga; basengeli nde komipesa na koteyaka makambo ya malamu,
The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 mpo ete balakisa na bilenge basi kolinga mibali na bango mpe bana na bango,
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 komibatela malamu, kotambola na bomoi ya peto, komipesa na misala kati na bandako na bango, kozala basi ya boboto mpe ya botosi liboso ya mibali na bango, mpo ete Liloba na Nzambe efingama te.
[To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Lendisa mpe bilenge mibali ete bamibatelaka malamu.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
7 Na makambo nyonso, zala ndakisa na nzela ya misala malamu; mpe na mateya na yo, lakisa bosembo, longola maseki,
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 salela maloba ya kimia mpe ezanga pamela, mpo ete bato oyo batelemelaka yo bayoka soni mpe bazanga mabe ya koloba na tina na biso.
Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
9 Teya bawumbu ete batosaka bankolo na bango na makambo nyonso, basalaka makasi mpo na kosepelisa bango, babendanaka na bango te
[Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
10 mpe bayibaka te. Kasi teya bango ete bamilakisaka tango nyonso lokola bato oyo bankolo na bango bakoki kotiela mitema, mpo ete bakomisa malakisi ya Nzambe Mobikisi na biso elengi.
Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
11 Pamba te ngolu ya Nzambe emonisami lokola etima ya lobiko mpo na bato nyonso.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Elakisaka biso kotika mabe, kokabwana na baposa ya makambo ya mokili, kobika tango oyo na bwanya, na bosembo mpe na botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, (aiōn g165)
Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 wana tozali kozela kokokisama ya elikya oyo epambolama: komonisama ya nkembo ya Yesu-Klisto, Nzambe monene mpe Mobikisi na biso, oyo
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14 amikabaki Ye moko mpo na biso, mpo ete akangola biso na mabe nyonso mpe apetola biso mpo na Ye moko lokola bato na Ye, oyo batondi na posa makasi ya kosala misala ya malamu.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 Yango nde makambo oyo osengeli koteya. Lendisa mpe pamela na bokonzi nyonso. Kopesa na moto moko te nzela ya kotiola yo.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
