Tito 2
1 Pero tú habla lo que está de acuerdo que palabras que concuerden con la enseñanza verdadera y correcta:
But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
2 Que los ancianos deben ser simples en sus gustos, serios, sabios, verdaderos en la fe, en el amor y en la paciencia.
[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 Que las ancianas se respeten a sí mismas en el comportamiento, que no digan mal de los demás, que no se les dé tomar mucho vino, que sean maestras de lo que es bueno,
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 Entrenar a las mujeres más jóvenes para que tengan amor por sus esposos e hijos,
in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
5 Ser sabio en mente, limpio de corazón, amable; trabajando en sus casas, viviendo bajo la autoridad de sus maridos; para que no se pueda decir mal 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 Urge a los jóvenes de ser sabios y serios:
As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
7 En todas las cosas preséntate como buen ejemplo de buenas obras; santo en tu enseñanza, serio en comportamiento,
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 Diciendo palabras verdaderas y correctas, contra las cuales no se puede hacer ninguna protesta, para que el que no está de nuestro lado pueda ser avergonzado, incapaz de decirnos algo malo.
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 Los siervos deben estar bajo la autoridad de sus amos, complaciéndolos en todas las cosas, sin argumentos;
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 No tomando lo que no es suyo, sino dando señales claras de su buena fe, en todas las cosas dando crédito a la enseñanza de Dios nuestro Salvador.
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 Porque la gracia de Dios ha venido, dando la salvación a todos los hombres,
[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 Enseñándonos que, alejándonos del mal y los deseos de este mundo, podamos estar viviendo sabia e íntegramente en el conocimiento de Dios en esta vida presente; (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 Buscando la esperanza alentadora, la revelación de la gloria 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 Quien se entregó a sí mismo por nosotros, para que nos libre de toda maldad, y se haga a sí mismo un pueblo limpio de corazón y entusiasta buenas obras por otros.
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 En todos estos puntos, exhorta y reprende, y aclara lo que es correcto con toda autoridad. 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!
