< Titus 2 >

1 You, however, must teach what is consistent with healthy beliefs.
ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ.
2 Older men shouldn't drink; they should be respectable and sensible, with a healthy trust in God, loving and patient.
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲗ̅ⲗⲟ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲣϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ.
3 Similarly older women ought to behave in a way that shows they live their lives for God. They shouldn't destroy people's reputations by what they say, and they shouldn't be addicted to wine.
ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲗ̅ⲗⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ̅ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ.
4 They should be teachers of what's good, teaching the young wives to love their husbands and their children.
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉⲛ̅ϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ. ⲉⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲡⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ.
5 They are to be sensible and pure, working in their homes, doing good and listening to what their husbands tell them. In this way the word of God will not be spoken about badly.
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲧⲉϣⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ. ⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
6 Likewise tell the young men to be sensible.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ.
7 You should set an example of doing good in all areas of life: show integrity and seriousness in what you teach,
ⲍ̅ⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ. ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲫⲑⲟⲛⲓ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ.
8 sharing healthy beliefs that can't be criticized. In this way those who are opposed will be ashamed of themselves and won't have anything bad to say about us.
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟϫ. ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ. ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
9 Tell servants to always obey their masters. They should try to please them and not talk back to them.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ̅ ⲁⲛ.
10 They shouldn't steal things for themselves, but show they are completely trustworthy so that they may rightly represent the truth about God our Savior in every way.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲡⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
11 For God's grace has been revealed, bringing salvation to everyone.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
12 It teaches us to reject a godless way of life with the desires of this world. Instead we should live thoughtful, self-controlled lives that are right before God in the present world (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧϣⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲱⲛϩ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ. (aiōn g165)
13 as we look for the wonderful hope of the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
14 He gave himself for us, so that he could set us free from all our wickedness, and to make us clean for him—a people who belong to him, keen to do good.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲏⲧ. ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ·
15 This is what you should be teaching. You have the authority to encourage and to correct as necessary. Don't let anyone look down on you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲅ̅ϫⲡⲓⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ.
