Tiitoo 2

1 Ati garuu waan barsiisa dhugaa wajjin deemu barsiisi.

You however, should speak of such subjects as properly have a place in sound teaching.

2 Jaarsoliin akka amala qabeeyyii, kabajamoo fi warra of qaban taʼaniif, akkasumas akka warra amantii dhugaa, jaalalaa fi obsa qabaatan barsiisi.

Teach that the older men should be soberly clear minded, dignified and self-controlled – sound in faith, love, and patient endurance.

3 Akkasuma immoo jaartoliin akka jireenya isaaniitiin kabajamoo taʼan, akka waan gaariis barsiisan malee akka maqaa nama hin balleessine yookaan akka dhugaatii daadhii wayinii baayʼeetiin hin fudhatamne isaan barsiisi.

So, too, that the older women should live reverent lives, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking.

4 Yoos isaan akka dubartoonni shamarran dhirsoota isaanii fi ijoollee isaanii jaallatan barsiisuu ni dandaʼu;

They should teach what is good, so as to train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

5 akka dubbiin Waaqaa hin tuffatamneefis akka of qaban, akka qulqullaaʼan, akka hojii mana keessaatiin qabaman, akka arjoota taʼan, akka dhirsoota isaaniitiif ajajaman ni barsiisu.

and to be self-controlled, pure-minded, to be watching over their home, to be kind, respecting the authority of their husbands, so that no one will speak badly of God’s message.

6 Akkasumas dargaggoonni akka of qabaniif gorsi.

In the same way with the younger men – encourage them to be self-controlled.

7 Waan hunda keessatti waan gaarii hojjechuun fakkeenya isaaniif taʼi. Barsiisa kee keessatti amanamaa, kabajamaa fi nama akka salphaatti hin ilaalamne taʼi;

In all things, set an example of doing good. In your teaching, show integrity and seriousness –

8 akka warri siin morman waaʼee keenya waan hamaa dubbatan tokko illee dhabanii qaanaʼaniifis dubbii dhugaa kan tuffatamuu hin dandeenye dubbadhu.

let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed when they fail to find anything bad to say about us.

9 Garboonni waan hundaan akka gooftota isaaniitiif ajajaman, akka gooftota isaanii gammachiisuu yaalan, akka waan gooftonni isaanii dubbataniif deebii mormii hin deebifne barsiisi;

Tell slaves to respect their owner’s authority in all circumstances, and to try their best to please them.

10 akka isaan gooftota isaanii jalaa hin hanne, garuu akka barsiisni Fayyisaa keenya Waaqaa karaa hundumaan hawwataa taʼu gochuuf akka isaan amanamummaa guutuu argisiisan barsiisi.

Teach them not to contradict or to pilfer, but to show such praiseworthy fidelity in everything, as to recommend the teaching about God our Savior by all that they do.

11 Ayyaanni Waaqaa kan fayyina fidu nama hundatti mulʼifameeraatii.

For the loving kindness of God has been revealed, bringing salvation for all,

12 Ayyaanni kunis Waaqa malee jiraachuu fi hawwii addunyaa ganuun bara kana keessa jireenya of qabiisaa, jireenya qajeelummaatii fi jireenya Waaqatti buluu akka jiraannu nu barsiisa; (aiōn g165)

leading us to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives here in this present age, (aiōn g165)

13 kunis yommuu nu abdii keenya isa eebbifamaa jechuunis mulʼachuu ulfina Waaqa keenya guddichaatii fi Fayyisaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos eeggachaa jirrutti taʼa;

while awaiting our blessed hope – the appearing in glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.

14 innis hammina hunda irraa nu furuu fi saba ofii isaa warra waan gaarii hojjechuuf hinaafan ofiif qulqulleeffachuuf jedhee of dabarsee nuuf kenneera.

For he gave himself on our behalf, to deliver us from all wickedness, and to purify for himself a people who should be truly his own and eager to do good.

15 Egaa wantoonni ati barsiisuu qabdu kanneenii dha. Taayitaa guutuun jajjabeessi; ifadhus. Namni tokko iyyuu si hin tuffatin.

Tell them of all this, and encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone belittle you.
