Tito 2
1 Inakupasa kufundisha itikadi sahihi.
But speak you those things which become healthy teaching.
2 Wafundishe wazee kuwa na kiasi, wastahivu, wenye busara na wanyofu katika imani, upendo na saburi.
That the elderly men be sober, grave, prudent, sound in faith, in divine love, in patience:
3 Vivyo hivyo, wafundishe wanawake wazee kuwa na mwenendo wa utakatifu, wala wasiwe wasingiziaji au walevi, bali wafundishe yale yaliyo mema,
likewise that the elderly women be reverent in demeanor, not tattlers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 ili waweze kuwafundisha wanawake vijana kuwa na kiasi, wawapende waume zao na kuwapenda watoto wao,
in order that they instruct the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 wawe waaminifu, watakatifu, wakitunza vyema nyumba zao, wema, watiifu kwa waume zao, ili mtu yeyote asije akalikufuru neno la Mungu.
to be prudent, chaste, domestic, good, submissive to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
6 Vivyo hivyo, himiza vijana wawe na kiasi.
Likewise exhort the young men to be prudent:
7 Katika kila jambo uwe kielelezo kwa kutenda mema. Katika mafundisho yako uonyeshe uadilifu, utaratibu,
concerning all things exhibiting yourself an example of good works; in teaching; purity, gravity,
8 na usemi sahihi usio na lawama, ili wanaokupinga watahayari, wakose neno lolote baya la kusema juu yetu.
the sound word, irrefutable, in order that the adversary may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.
9 Wafundishe watumwa kuwatii mabwana zao katika kila jambo, wakijitahidi kuwapendeza wala wasijibizane nao,
That servants submit to their own masters, that they be obedient in all things; not speaking back;
10 wala wasiwaibie, bali waonyeshe kuwa wanaweza kuaminika kabisa, ili kwa kila namna wayafanye mafundisho ya Mungu Mwokozi wetu yawe ya kuvutia.
not purloining, but exhibiting all good faith, that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Kwa maana neema ya Mungu ambayo inawaokoa wanadamu wote imefunuliwa.
For the grace of God, that brings salvation to all men, has appeared,
12 Nayo yatufundisha kukataa ubaya na tamaa za kidunia, ili tupate kuishi maisha ya kiasi, ya haki na ya utaua katika ulimwengu huu wa sasa, (aiōn g165)
teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we must live prudently and righteously and holily in this present age; (aiōn g165)
13 huku tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na ufunuo wa utukufu wa Mungu wetu Mkuu, aliye Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo.
looking for the blessed hope even the appearing of the glory of our great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus;
14 Ndiye alijitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yetu, ili atukomboe kutoka uovu wote na kujisafishia watu kuwa mali yake Mwenyewe, yaani, wale walio na juhudi katika kutenda mema.
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 Basi wewe fundisha mambo haya. Onya na kukaripia kwa mamlaka yote. Mtu yeyote asikudharau.
Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority; let no one despise thee.
