Taituha 2
1 Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:
But do you speak the things that become sound teaching;
2 Ko nga kaumatua kia ata whakahaere i a ratou, kia tu kaumatua, kia whai whakaaro, kia ora te whakapono, te aroha, te manawanui:
that the aged men be vigilant, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 Me nga wahine taikaumatua hoki, kia rite nga tikanga ki a te hunga e whakaaro ana ki te tapu, kia kaua e ngautuara, kia kaua e riro hei pononga ma te waina, kia whakaako i nga mea pai;
that the aged women likewise be, in deportment, as it becomes holy women, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things,
4 Kia meinga e ratou nga wahine taitamariki kia whai whakaaro, kia aroha ki a ratou tane, kia aroha ki a ratou tamariki.
That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 Kia whai whakaaro, kia tika, kia pukumahi i te kainga, kia atawhai, kia ngohengohe ki a ratou tane, kei korerotia kinotia te kupu a te Atua.
to be discreet, chaste, fond of home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not reviled.
6 Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;
Exhort the young men likewise to be sober-minded,
7 I nga mea katoa kia kitea koe he tauira mo nga mahi pai; ko tau whakaako kia tapatahi, kia tu kaumatua,
in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,
8 Kia ora te kupu, kei taea te whakahe; kia whakama ai te tangata tikanga ke, te ai he mea e korerotia kinotia ai tatou e ia.
sound speech that can not be condemned; that he that is opposed may be ashamed, seeing he has no evil thing to say of us.
9 Ko nga pononga kia ngohengohe ki o ratou rangatira, kia whakamanawarekatia ratou i nga mea katoa; kaua e whakahoki kupu;
Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not contradicting,
10 Kaua e kaia, engari kia kitea he pai, he nui, to ratou pono; kia ai ratou i nga mea katoa hei whakapaipai i te whakaako i te Atua, a to tatou Kaiwhakaora.
not stealing, but showing all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.
11 Kua puta mai hoki te aroha noa o te Atua e ora ai nga tangata katoa,
For the grace of God, which brings salvation to all men, has appeared,
12 Hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whakakahoretia e tatou te karakiakore me nga hiahia o te ao, kia noho whakaaro tatou, i runga ano i te tika, i te karakia pai, i tenei ao; (aiōn g165)
teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in the present age; (aiōn g165)
13 Me te tatari ano ki te mea whakahari e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te putanga kororia mai o to tatou Atua nui, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora ano hoki, o Ihu Karaiti;
looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 I tuku nei i a ia mo tatou, hei hoko i a tatou i roto i nga kino katoa, hei horoi hoki i a tatou hei iwi mana ake, e ngakau nui ana ki nga mahi pai.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 Korerotia enei mea, whakahaua; kia nui tou maia ki te riri i te he. Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe.
Speak these things, and exhort and rebuke with all strictness. Let no one despise you.
