Titosy 2
1 F’ihe, Taroño ze mañeva atao enta-mahity,
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 hahapendreñe o androanavio ho vañoñe, hilie-batañe, higahiñe am-patokisañe, an-koko naho am-pahaliñisañe;
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 manahake izay o rakemba beio, t’ie ho vañon-dia mpañeveñe aman-Kake, tsy mpikanifoke, tsy ondevozen-divay, fa mpañoke havañonañe;
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 mpanoro o ampelao ho hendre, mpikoko valy naho mpitea anake;
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 ie mahalie-troke, tsy aman-kila, mahay mañalahala anjomba, matarike, mpiandaly ami’ty vali’e; soa tsy honjirañe ty tsaran’ Añahare.
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Osiho ka o ajalahio te hilie-batañe.
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 Le an-tsata’o iaby, mañaveloa ho fitsikombeam-pitoloñan-tsoa, ho mpañoke vantañe vaho migahiñe,
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 añ’enta mifehe, tsy itiñeañe, hanalarañe ty mandietse, tsy hinjeañe.
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9 Osiho ondevoo hiambàne amo tompo’eo, hampifalea’e an-tsata’e iaby, vaho tsy hanointoiñe;
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 tsy hampikametse, te mone hitoloñe am-patokisañe do’e, soa te ho bangoe’e amy ze he’e ty fañòhan’ Añahare Mpandrombake antikañe.
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Fa niboake ty hasoan’ Añahare minday fandrombahañe ho a ze kila ondaty,
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 mañoke antika halaiñe ty hatsi-an-Kake naho o hadrao’ ty voatse toio; naho ty hilie-batañe an-kavañonañe, vaho hañori-Kake ami’ty sà toy, (aiōn g165)
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 ie liñisantika i fitamàñe andriañañey—i fiboaham-bolonahen’ Añahare jabahinakey, Iesoà Mpandrombake Norizañey,
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 i namoe’ay hijebañe antika amy ze fonga fandilaran-Kakey, hañefera’e ho aze ondaty mahimbañe am-pitoloñan-tsoao.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 Itaroño naho añosiho naho añereto an-dily fonitse vaho ko apo’o honjiren-drehe.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
