Tito 2
1 Lakini wewe yaseme yale yanayoendana na maelekezo ya kuaminika.
BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Wazee wawe na kiasi, heshima, busara, imani safi, katika upendo, na katika uvumilivu.
that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3 Vilevile wanawake wazee lazima daima wajioneshe wao wenyewe kama wenye kujiheshimu, na sio wasengenyaji. Lazima wasiwe watumwa wa pombe.
That the elder women also be sacredly becoming in their behaviour, not slanderers, not enslaved by much wine, teachers of propriety;
4 Wanapaswa kufundisha yaliyo mazuri ili kuwaandaa wasichana kwa busara kuwapenda waume zao na watoto wao.
that they instruct the young women to be discreet, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 Wanapaswa kuwafundisha kuwa na busara, wasafi, watunzaji wazuri wa nyumba zao, na watii kwa waume zao wenyewe. Inawalazimu kufanya mambo haya ili kwamba neno la Mungu lisitukanwe.
to be sober, domestic, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not ill reported of.
6 katika namna iyo hiyo, watieni moyo vijana wa kiume wawe na busara.
The younger men in like manner exhort to be sober minded.
7 Katika njia zote jiwekeni wenyewe kuwa mfano katika kazi nzuri; na mfundishapo, onesheni uadilifu na heshima.
In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility,
8 Ongeeni ujumbe wenye afya na usio na dosari, ili kwamba yeyote apingaye aaibishwe kwa sababu hana baya la kusema juu yetu.
sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.
9 Watumwa na wawatii mabwana zao katika kila kitu. Wanapaswa kuwafurahisha na sio kubishana nao.
Let servants be subject to their own masters, in all things to be agreeable to them; not contradicting;
10 Hawapaswi kuiba. Badala yake, wanapaswa kuonesha imani yote nzuri ili kwamba katika njia zote wayapambe mafundisho yetu kumhusu Mungu mwokozi wetu.
not embezzling their property, but demonstrating all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Kwa kuwa neema ya Mungu imeonekana kwa watu wote.
For the grace of God which leads to salvation hath appeared unto all men,
12 Inatufundisha kukataa mambo yasiyo ya kimungu na tamaa za kidunia. Inatufundisha kuishi kwa busara, kwa haki, na katika njia za kimungu kwa wakati huu. (aiōn g165)
instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day; (aiōn g165)
13 Wakati tunatarajia kupokea tumaini letu lenye baraka, mwonekano wa utukufu wa Mungu wetu mkuu na Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo.
expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Yesu alijitoa mwenyewe kwa ajili yetu ili kutukomboa kutoka katika uasi na kutufanya wasafi, kwa ajili yake, watu maalumu walio na hamu ya kufanya kazi nzuri.
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 Yaseme na kuyasisitiza mambo haya. Kemea kwa mamlaka yote. Usikubali mtu yeyote akupuuze.
These things speak and enjoin, and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
