Titus 2

1 But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.

1 Inakupasa kufundisha itikadi sahihi.

2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.

2 Wafundishe wazee kuwa na kiasi, wastahivu, wenye busara na wanyofu katika imani, upendo na saburi.

3 Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.

3 Vivyo hivyo, wafundishe wanawake wazee kuwa na mwenendo wa utakatifu, wala wasiwe wasingiziaji au walevi, bali wafundishe yale yaliyo mema,

4 In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,

4 ili waweze kuwafundisha wanawake vijana kuwa na kiasi, wawapende waume zao na kuwapenda watoto wao,

5 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.

5 wawe waaminifu, watakatifu, wakitunza vyema nyumba zao, wema, watiifu kwa waume zao, ili mtu yeyote asije akalikufuru neno la Mungu.

6 In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

6 Vivyo hivyo, himiza vijana wawe na kiasi.

7 In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

7 Katika kila jambo uwe kielelezo kwa kutenda mema. Katika mafundisho yako uonyeshe uadilifu, utaratibu,

8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

8 na usemi sahihi usio na lawama, ili wanaokupinga watahayari, wakose neno lolote baya la kusema juu yetu.

9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

9 Wafundishe watumwa kuwatii mabwana zao katika kila jambo, wakijitahidi kuwapendeza wala wasijibizane nao,

10 not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

10 wala wasiwaibie, bali waonyeshe kuwa wanaweza kuaminika kabisa, ili kwa kila namna wayafanye mafundisho ya Mungu Mwokozi wetu yawe ya kuvutia.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.

11 Kwa maana neema ya Mungu ambayo inawaokoa wanadamu wote imefunuliwa.

12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

12 Nayo yatufundisha kukataa ubaya na tamaa za kidunia, ili tupate kuishi maisha ya kiasi, ya haki na ya utaua katika ulimwengu huu wa sasa,

13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

13 huku tukilitazamia tumaini lenye baraka na ufunuo wa utukufu wa Mungu wetu Mkuu, aliye Mwokozi wetu Yesu Kristo.

14 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.

14 Ndiye alijitoa nafsi yake kwa ajili yetu, ili atukomboe kutoka uovu wote na kujisafishia watu kuwa mali yake Mwenyewe, yaani, wale walio na juhudi katika kutenda mema.

15 Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

15 Basi wewe fundisha mambo haya. Onya na kukaripia kwa mamlaka yote. Mtu yeyote asikudharau.
