Tito 2

1 Ngunit ikaw, sabihin ang tama kasama ng tapat na pagtuturo.

But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.

2 Ang mga nakatatandang lalake ay dapat maging mahinahon, marangal, matino, nasa tamang pananampalataya, sa pag-ibig, at sa katiyagaan.

[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 Ang mga nakatatandang babae gayon din dapat laging ipakilalang sila rin ay kagalang-galang at hindi mga tsismosa. Sila ay hindi dapat inalipin ng sobrang alak. Sila ay dapat nagtuturo ng kung ano ang mabuti

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 upang masanay ang mga nakababatang babae sa matinong pagmamahal sa kanilang sariling mga asawa at mga anak.

in order that they may love their husbands and their children.

5 Sila ang dapat magsanay sa kanila na maging matino, dalisay, mga mabuting tagapangalaga ng tahanan at masunurin sa kanilang sariling mga asawa. Dapat nilang gawin ang mga bagay na ito upang ang Salita ng Diyos ay hindi maalipusta.

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 Sa parehong paraan, himukin ninyo ang mga nakababatang lalake upang maging matino.

As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].

7 Sa lahat ng paraan, ihayag ang inyong sarili bilang isang huwaran ng mabubuting gawa; at kapag nagtuturo kayo, ipakita ang katapatan at karangalan.

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 Magpahayag ng isang mensahe na nakapagpapalakas at walang kapintasan, kaya yaong sinuman ang sumasalungat ay mapahiya, dahil wala siyang masamang masasabi tungkol sa atin.

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 Ang mga alipin ay dapat sumunod sa kanilang amo sa lahat ng bagay. Sila ay dapat magbigay-lugod at hindi mangatwiran sa kanila.

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 Hindi sila dapat mangupit. Sa halip, dapat silang magpakita ng lahat ng mabuting pananalig, upang sa lahat ng paraan, sila ay magpaganda sa ating katuruan tungkol sa Diyos na ating tagapagligtas.

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 Pagkat ang biyaya ng Diyos ay nahayag sa lahat ng tao.

[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 Ito ay nagsasanay sa atin na tumanggi sa walang kabanalan at makamundong pagkahumaling. Ito ang nagsanay sa ating mamuhay ng matino, makatarungan at sa makadiyos na paraan sa kapanahunan ngayon (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 habang tayo ay nag-aabang sa pagtanggap ng ating pinagpalang pag-asa, ang kahayagan ng kaluwalhatian ng ating dakilang Diyos at Tagapagligtas na si Jesu-Cristo.

[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 Ibinigay ni Jesus ang kanyang sarili para sa atin upang tubusin tayo sa lahat ng kawalan ng batas at gawing dalisay, para sa kanyang sarili, isang natatanging mga tao na sabik sa paggawa ng mabubuti.

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 Ipahayag mo at ang lahat ng mga ito sa pagpalakas ng loob. Magbigay ng pag-aayos kasama lahat ng kapangyarihan. Huwag mong hayaang may isang magpasawalang bahala sa iyo.

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!
