Titosy 2

1 F’ihe, Taroño ze mañeva atao enta-mahity,

But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine.

2 hahapendreñe o androanavio ho vañoñe, hilie-batañe, higahiñe am-patokisañe, an-koko naho am-pahaliñisañe;

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 manahake izay o rakemba beio, t’ie ho vañon-dia mpañeveñe aman-Kake, tsy mpikanifoke, tsy ondevozen-divay, fa mpañoke havañonañe;

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 mpanoro o ampelao ho hendre, mpikoko valy naho mpitea anake;

making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and 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 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 Osiho ka o ajalahio te hilie-batañe.

And likewise exhort young men to be sober.

7 Le an-tsata’o iaby, mañaveloa ho fitsikombeam-pitoloñan-tsoa, ho mpañoke vantañe vaho migahiñe,

And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,

8 añ’enta mifehe, tsy itiñeañe, hanalarañe ty mandietse, tsy hinjeañe.

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 Osiho ondevoo hiambàne amo tompo’eo, hampifalea’e an-tsata’e iaby, vaho tsy hanointoiñe;

Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer;

10 tsy hampikametse, te mone hitoloñe am-patokisañe do’e, soa te ho bangoe’e amy ze he’e ty fañòhan’ Añahare Mpandrombake antikañe.

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 Fa niboake ty hasoan’ Añahare minday fandrombahañe ho a ze kila ondaty,

For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed 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)

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 ie liñisantika i fitamàñe andriañañey—i fiboaham-bolonahen’ Añahare jabahinakey, Iesoà Mpandrombake Norizañey,

looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the Messiah;

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 recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

15 Itaroño naho añosiho naho añereto an-dily fonitse vaho ko apo’o honjiren-drehe.

These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
