Taituha 2
1 Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:
But do thou speak the things which become 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 aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the 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;
the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given 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 instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,
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.
chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;
Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:
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 shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;
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.
that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.
9 Ko nga pononga kia ngohengohe ki o ratou rangatira, kia whakamanawarekatia ratou i nga mea katoa; kaua e whakahoki kupu;
Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,
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 answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour 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, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;
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 piously in this present world; (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 glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, 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 to 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.
These things speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
