Tito 2

1 Unofanira kudzidzisa zviri maererano nedzidziso yakarurama.

But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —

2 Dzidzisa varume vakuru kuti vave vanozvibata, vakafanira kukudzwa, vanozvidzora, uye vakarurama mukutenda, murudo nomukutsungirira.

That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;

3 Saizvozvowo, dzidzisa vakadzi vakuru kuti vave nomufambiro wakafanira, vasingacheri, kana kuda waini zhinji, asi kuti vadzidzise zvakanaka.

Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —

4 Uye kuti vadzidzise vakadzi vaduku kuti vade varume vavo navana vavo,

That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,

5 kuti vave vanozvidzora uye vakachena, vanoshanda kumba, vave vanyoro uye kuti vazviise pasi pavarume vavo, kuitira kuti pashayikwe angazvidza shoko raMwari.

soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;

6 Zvimwe chetezvo, kurudzira majaya kuti azvidzore.

The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:

7 Pazvinhu zvose iwe uvaratidze somuenzaniso nokuita zvakanaka. Pakudzidzisa kwako udzidzise zvakakwana, uchirevesa

In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,

8 uye nokutaura kwakarurama kusingagoni kushorwa, kuitira kuti vaya vanokupikisa vanyadziswe nokuti havana chinhu chavangareva pamusoro pedu.

healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:

9 Udzidzise varanda kuti vazviise pasi pavanavatenzi vavo pazvinhu zvose kuti vavafadze, varege kupindurana navo,

Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

10 uye kuti varege kuvabira, asi kuti varatidze kuti vakatendeka zvikuru kwazvo, kuitira kuti vashongedze dzidziso yaMwari Muponesi wedu pazvinhu zvose.

not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

11 Nokuti nyasha dzaMwari dzinouyisa ruponeso dzakaratidzwa kuvanhu vose.

For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,

12 Dzinotidzidzisa kuti tirambe zvinhu zvisina umwari nokuchiva kwenyika, uye tirarame upenyu hwokuzvidzora, hwokururama uye hwoumwari munguva ino, (aiōn g165)

Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (aiōn g165)

13 takamirira tariro yakaropafadzwa, kuonekwa kwokubwinya kwaMwari wedu mukuru noMuponesi, Jesu Kristu,

Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —

14 akazvipa nokuda kwedu kuti atidzikinure kubva pakuipa kwose, nokuzvinatsira vanhu vari vake chaivo, vanoshingaira kuita zvinhu zvakanaka.

Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.

15 Zvino, izvi ndizvo zvinhu zvaunofanira kudzidzisa. Kurudzira uye utsiure nesimba rose. Ngakurege kuva nomunhu anokuzvidza.

As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!
