Titu 2
1 Ak thym cangnaak ing anik qoep ik-oeih ce na cawngpyi aham awm hy.
But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:
2 A kum ak hqam bet thlangkhqi ing a cyp amyih na awm aham, thlang kqihchah kawi na awm aham, yh thainaak kawlung taak aham, ak thym cangnaak taak aham, lungnaak ingkaw kawdungnaak ing awm aham cawngpyi.
that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
3 Cemyih lawtna, kum ak hqam hawh nukhqi ingawm kqihchah kawi na khaw sak aham, thlang a mami theetnaak aham ingkaw zu a mami awk naak aham, cehlai ak leek ik-oeih ce cawngpyi patoe aham cawngpyi lah.
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
4 Cawhtaw kum ak no bet nukhqi ce a va a ca lungnaak aham a mi cawng hly pyi thai,
that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 yh thainaak ta nawh ak caih na awm aham, im awh plawng ang thawh aham, kaw dung aham, a vakhqi ak kaina awm aham cawngpyi, cawh ni u ingawm Khawsak awi ce a kqihchah hly thai hy.
[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:
6 Cemyihna, cadawngkhqi ing yh thainaak kawlung ami taaknaak thai aham tha pe law.
the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
7 Soepkep awh ik-oeih leek sainaak ak caming cekkhqi a toek kawina awm law lah. Na cawngpyinaak awh ak thym ingkaw ak cang cang na na awm aham awm hy,
in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity,
8 upvoet ak awm na awi nak kqawn aham am awm hy, cawh ni nang anik oelhkungkhqi ing ningnih a seetnaak kqawn aham am hu kawmsaw amik chah hly.
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 Tamnaakhqi ing ik-oeih soepkep awh ami boeikhqi ak awi ngai peek aham kqawn pe, a boeikhqi ak kawzeelnaak sai aham ingkaw awi ama hlat aham,
[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;
10 A ik-oeihkhqi ama quuknaak peek thai aham ingkaw ypawm na ami awmnaak ce dang sak aham awm hy, cawh ni ik-oeih soepkep awh ningnih hulkung Khawsa akawng ni cawngpyi ve thlang ing ngai aham a ngaih hly.
not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Hulnaak Khawsa qeennaak ing a haw law ce thlang boeih a venawh dang hawh hy.
For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 Khawsa ak kawngaih am ik-oeih ben ingkaw khawmdek ik-oeih ben awh “Amni” ni tinawh, yh thainaak ing khaw sak aham, tuh a mih awh ak dyng na khaw sa nawh, Khawsa ngaih na khaw sak aham ni cawngpyi hy. (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 Ngaih-unaak ypawm ik-oeih - boeimang Khawsa ingkaw hulkung Jesu Khrih a lawnaak khawnghi ce ning ngaih-u uhy,
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

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.

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
