< Tito 2 >

1 Mme wena, buelela go tshela mo go tshwanetseng, mo go tsamaelanang le Bokeresete jwa boammaaruri.
But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Ruta banna bagolo go tlhwafalela go nna boikgapo, ba tshwanetse go nna le ditlhaloganyo, ba itse, ba bile ba dumela boammaaruri, ba dira sengwe le sengwe ka lorato le bopelotelele.
that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, in patience:
3 Ruta basadi bagolo go nna maitseo le masisi mo go sengwe le sengwe se ba se dirang. Ba se ka ba tsamaya tsamaya ba bua bosula kaga ba bangwe le gone ba se ka ba nna matagwa, mme ba tshwanetse go nna baruti ba tshiamo.
the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 Basadi bagolo ba ba tshwanetse go ruta basadi ba meroba go tshela ka tshisibalo mo mekgweng ya bone, go rata banna ba bone le bana ba bone,
that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent,
5 le go nna le ditlhaloganyo le megopolo e e itshekileng, ba nna mo malwapeng a bone, ba le pelonomi ebile ba ikobela banna ba bone, gore tumelo ya Sekeresete e se ka ya tlhapadiwa ke ba ba ba itseng.
chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
6 Fela jalo, kgothatsa makau go itshola sentle ka kelotlhoko, ba tsaya botshelo e le selo sa botlhokwa se se tshwanetseng go somarelwa.
Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate:
7 Mme wena ka bowena, o tshwanetse go nna sekao mo go bone ka ditiro tse di molemo tsa mofuta mongwe le mongwe. A sengwe le sengwe se o se dirang se supe lorato lwa gago gore o tlhwaafetse.
in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned;
8 Dikgang tsa gago di tshwanetse go nna botlhale le botsipa gore le fa e le mang yo o batlang go nganga nao a itlhabelwe ke ditlhong gonne go tlaa bo go sena sepe se a ka nyatsang puo ya gago ka sone!
that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you.
9 Kgothatsa batlhanka go ikobela beng ba bone le go leka bojotlhe jwa bone go ba itumedisa. Ba se ka ba fetolana nabo,
Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things,
10 le fa e le go utswa, mme ba tshwanetse go itshupa gore ba ikanyega ka botlalo. Ka go dira jaana, ba tlaa dira gore batho ba tle go dumela mo go Mmoloki le Modimo wa rona.
not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Gonne neo e e sa rekweng ya poloko ya bosakhutleng jaanong e neetswe mongwe le mongwe;
For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men;
12 mme mo go yone neo e, go tla temogo ya gore Modimo o batla gore re furalele botshelo jo bo senang Modimo le dithato tsa boleo, mme re tshele matshelo a a molemo, matshelo a a boifang Modimo ka letsatsi le letsatsi, (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 re lebeletse nako e ntle eo, e re ntseng re e lebeletse, e kgalalelo ya One e tlaa bonwang, kgalalelo ya Modimo wa rona o mogolo le Mmoloki Jesu Keresete.
looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ:
14 Yo o suleng ka fa tlase ga tshekiso ya Modimo a swela dibe tsa rona, gore a tle a re falotshe mo go weleng gangwe le gape mo sebeng le go re dira ba e leng ba gagwe tota, re na le dipelo tse di tlhatswitsweng le tlhwaafalo ya boammaaruri ka go direla ba bangwe dilo tse di molemo.
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 O tshwanetse go ruta bagaeno dilo tse wa bo wa ba kgothatsa go di dira, o ba laya fa go tlhokega jaaka mongwe yo o nang le tshwanelo nngwe le nngwe go dira jalo. Se dire gore le fa e le mang a gopole gore se o se buang ga se botlhokwa.
These things speak, and exhort; and reprove offenders with all authority: that none may despise thee.
