< Tito 2 >
1 Ɛsɛ sɛ woma nkyerɛkyerɛ pa a wɔagye ato mu.
But do thou speak the things which become sound teaching;
2 Ka kyerɛ nkwakoraa na wɔmma wɔn ani nna hɔ, wɔnyɛ anyansafo, na wɔnhyɛ wɔn ho so; wɔn gyidi mu nyɛ den, wonnya ɔdɔ na wontumi ntena ɔhaw mu.
that aged men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;
3 Saa ara nso na ka kyerɛ mmerewa na wɔmmɔ ɔbra a ɛyɛ kronkron. Wonnni nseku na wɔnnyɛ asadweam nso. Wɔnkyerɛ akyerɛ pa,
that aged women likewise be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good,
4 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnam so betumi ama mmabaa adɔ wɔn kununom ne wɔn mma,
that they may teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 ama wɔatumi ahyɛ wɔn ho so, ayɛ kronkron na wɔayɛ awarefo pa a wotie wɔn kununom asɛm, na obi anka bɔne amfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho.
to be discreet, chaste, workers at home, good, in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Saa ara na hyɛ mmerante na wonnya ahohyɛso.
The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded;
7 Nneɛma nyinaa mu no, fa wo ho yɛ nhwɛso pa wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Di nokware na ma wʼani nku wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
in all things showing thyself a pattern of good works, in teaching showing uncorruptness, gravity,
8 Ka nsɛm a ho tew na obi antumi antia mu na ama atamfo ani awu sɛ wonnya asɛm bɔne nka mfa yɛn ho.
sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is opposed to us may be put to shame, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ asomfo tie wɔn wuranom, na ade nyinaa mu no, wɔsɔ wɔn wuranom ani. Ɛnsɛ sɛ woyiyi nsɛm ano
Exhort bond-servants to be in subjection to their own masters, in all things to be well-pleasing to them,
10 anaa wɔbɔ wɔn korɔn. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ papa mmere nyinaa na wodi nokware na anam so ama biribiara a wɔyɛ no de anuonyamhyɛ aba nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no ho no.
not contradicting, not purloining, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the teaching of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Onyankopɔn adom a ɛde nkwagye ba no ayi no ho adi akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation to all men, was manifested,
12 Nʼadom no kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛmpa asetena a ɛho ntew no ne wiase akɔnnɔ akyi na yɛntena ase ahohyɛso, kronkronyɛ ne Onyamesuro mu wɔ wiase ha. (aiōn )
teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world; (aiōn )
13 Yɛwɔ anidaso wɔ bere a yɛretwɛn Onyankopɔn tumfo a ɔne Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo no ba a ɔbɛba bio wɔ anuonyam mu no.
looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Ɔde ne ho maa yɛn de gyee yɛn fii bɔne mu, ɔyɛɛ yɛn nnipa a yɛpɛ papayɛ no kronkron de yɛn yɛɛ ne nko ara de.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people to be his own, zealous in good works.
15 Kyerɛkyerɛ saa nneɛma yi na gyina wo tumi so hyɛ wʼatiefo nkuran, ka wɔn anim. Mma wɔn mu bi mmmu wo abomfiaa.
These things speak and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.
