1 Ɛsɛ sɛ wokyerɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ pa a wagye ato mu.
But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
2 Ka kyerɛ nkɔkoraa na wɔmma wɔn ani nna hɔ, wɔnyɛ anyansafoɔ, na wɔnhyɛ wɔn ho so; wɔn gyidie mu nyɛ den, wɔnnya ɔdɔ na wɔntumi ntena ɔhaw mu.
Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
3 Saa ara nso na ka kyerɛ mmerewa na wɔmmɔ ɔbra a ɛyɛ kronn. Wɔnnni nsekuro na wɔnnyɛ asadweam nso. Wɔnkyerɛ akyerɛ pa,
Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
4 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnam so bɛtumi ama mmabaawa adɔ wɔn kununom ne wɔn mma,
In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
5 ama wɔatumi ahyɛ wɔn ho so, ayɛ kronn na wɔayɛ awarefoɔ pa a wɔtie wɔn kununom asɛm, na obi anka bɔne amfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho.
to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
6 Saa ara na hyɛ mmeranteɛ na wɔnnya ahohyɛsoɔ.
In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
7 Nneɛma nyinaa mu, fa wo ho yɛ nhwɛsoɔ pa wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Di nokorɛ na ma wʼani nku wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
8 Ka nsɛm a ɛho te na obi antumi antia mu na ama atamfoɔ ani awu sɛ wɔnnya asɛm bɔne nka mfa yɛn ho.
and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ asomfoɔ tie wɔn wuranom na adeɛ nyinaa mu, wɔsɔ wɔn wuranom ani. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyiyi nsɛm ano
Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
10 anaa wɔbɔ wɔn korɔno. Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ nyinaa mu, wɔyɛ papa na wɔdi nokorɛ na ɛnam so ma biribiara a wɔyɛ no de animuonyamhyɛ aba nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no ho.
not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
11 Onyankopɔn adom a ɛde nkwagyeɛ ba no ayi no ho adi akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
12 Na adom no kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛmpa asetena a ɛho nteɛ no ne ewiase akɔnnɔ akyi na yɛntena ase ahohyɛsoɔ, kronnyɛ ne Onyamesuro mu wɔ ewiase ha. (aiōn g165)
It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age, (aiōn g165)
13 Yɛwɔ anidasoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a yɛretwɛn Onyankopɔn tumfoɔ a ɔne Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo no ba a ɔbɛba bio wɔ animuonyam mu no.
as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
14 Ɔde ne ho maa yɛn de gyee yɛn firii bɔne mu, ɔyɛɛ yɛn kronn de yɛn yɛɛ ne nko ara dea; nnipa a yɛpɛ papayɛ.
He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
15 Kyerɛkyerɛ saa nneɛma yi na gyina wo tumi so hyɛ wʼatiefoɔ nkuran, ka wɔn anim. Mma wɔn mu bi mmu wo abomfiaa.
Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
