Tito 2
1 Ɛsɛ sɛ wokyerɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ pa a wagye ato mu.
But speak thou the things which befit the 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.
that aged men be temperate, grave, soberminded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3 Saa ara nso na ka kyerɛ mmerewa na wɔmmɔ ɔbra a ɛyɛ kronn. Wɔnnni nsekuro na wɔnnyɛ asadweam nso. Wɔnkyerɛ akyerɛ pa,
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnam so bɛtumi ama mmabaawa adɔ wɔn kununom ne wɔn mma,
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their 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] soberminded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Saa ara na hyɛ mmeranteɛ na wɔnnya ahohyɛsoɔ.
the younger men likewise exhort to be soberminded:
7 Nneɛma nyinaa mu, fa wo ho yɛ nhwɛsoɔ pa wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Di nokorɛ na ma wʼani nku wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
in all things shewing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 Ka nsɛm a ɛho te na obi antumi antia mu na ama atamfoɔ ani awu sɛ wɔnnya asɛm bɔne nka mfa yɛn ho.
sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ asomfoɔ tie wɔn wuranom na adeɛ nyinaa mu, wɔsɔ wɔn wuranom ani. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyiyi nsɛm ano
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
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 purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Onyankopɔn adom a ɛde nkwagyeɛ ba no ayi no ho adi akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
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)
instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (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.
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour 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.
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
15 Kyerɛkyerɛ saa nneɛma yi na gyina wo tumi so hyɛ wʼatiefoɔ nkuran, ka wɔn anim. Mma wɔn mu bi mmu wo abomfiaa.
These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
