Taituha 2
1 Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:
But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
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 older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and 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;
and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
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 train the young women 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 self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and being subject to their own husbands, so that God's word may not be discredited.
6 Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;
Likewise, exhort the younger men to be self-controlled;
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 your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
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.
and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about 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 in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing 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 fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine 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 has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
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)
instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this 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 appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah;
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 people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15 Korerotia enei mea, whakahaua; kia nui tou maia ki te riri i te he. Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe.
Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
