Tito 2
1 Sin embargo, tú enseña lo que está acorde a las creencias sanas.
But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
2 Los hombres de mayor edad deben ser respetables y sensatos, con una fe sana en Dios, amorosos y pacientes.
[Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
3 Del mismo modo, las mujeres de mayor edad deben comportarse de una manera que demuestre que tienen vidas dedicadas a Dios. No deben destruir la reputación de la gente con su hablar, y no deben ser adictas al vino.
Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
4 Deben ser maestras de lo bueno, y enseñar a las esposas más jóvenes a amar a sus esposos y a sus hijos.
in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
5 Deben ser sensatas y puras, hacendosas, hacedoras del bien y tener oídos prestos a lo que sus esposos les dicen. De este modo, no habrá nada malo que decir de la palabra de Dios.
Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
6 Del mismo modo, enseña a los hombres jóvenes a ser sensatos.
As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
7 Tú debes ser ejemplo de cómo hacer el bien en todas las áreas de la vida: muestra integridad y seriedad en lo que enseñas,
You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
8 compartiendo creencias sanas que no puedan ser cuestionadas. Así, los que se oponen, se avergonzarán de sí mismos y no tendrán nada malo que decir acerca de nosotros.
teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
9 Enseña a los siervos a que siempre obedezcan a sus amos. Enséñales que siempre deben procurar agradarles y no hablar mal a sus espaldas.
As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
10 Diles que no deben robar cosas para sí, sino demostrar que son completamente fieles y que pueden representar correctamente la verdad acerca de Dios, nuestro Salvador, en todas las formas.
They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
11 Pues la gracia de Dios ha sido revelada, otorgando salvación a todos.
[The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
12 Nos enseña a rechazar el estilo de vida impío junto a los deseos de este mundo. Por el contrario, debemos vivir con sensatez, vidas de dominio propio que sean rectas ante Dios, en presencia del mundo (aiōn g165)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
13 mientras aguardamos la maravillosa esperanza de la aparición gloriosa de nuestro gran Dios y Salvador Jesucristo.
[Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
14 Pues él se entregó a sí mismo por nosotros, para podernos libertar de toda nuestra maldad, y para limpiarnos para él, como un pueblo que le pertenece, y que está dispuesto a hacer el bien.
He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
15 Tales cosas debes enseñar. Pues tienes autoridad para animar y corregir en cuanto sea necesario. No permitas que nadie te menosprecie.
Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
