< Titus 2 >

1 You, however, must teach what is consistent with healthy beliefs.
No wee-rĩ, no nginya ũrutanage maũndũ marĩa maringaine na ũrutani ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru.
2 Older men shouldn't drink; they should be respectable and sensible, with a healthy trust in God, loving and patient.
Rutaga athuuri arĩa akũrũ maikarage matarĩ arĩĩu, na marĩ a gũtĩĩka, na a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na marĩ arũmu ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtĩkia, na makoragwo marĩ na wendani o na ũkirĩrĩria.
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.
O nao atumia arĩa akũrũ marutage gũikaraga na mĩikarĩre ya ũtheru, na matigatuĩke a gũcambania o na kana mamenyere kũnyuuaga ndibei nyingĩ matuĩke ta ngombo ciayo, no nĩ matuĩke a kũrutanaga maũndũ marĩa mega,
4 They should be teachers of what's good, teaching the young wives to love their husbands and their children.
nĩgeetha mahote kũruta atumia arĩa ethĩ kwenda athuuri ao na ciana ciao,
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.
na matuĩke a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na atheru, na mehangʼagie na wĩra o wa kwao mũciĩ, na matuĩke atugi, na maathĩkagĩre athuuri ao, nĩgeetha gũtikanagĩe mũndũ ũngĩcambia kiugo kĩa Ngai.
6 Likewise tell the young men to be sensible.
O ta ũguo-rĩ, ũmagĩrĩria aanake, na ũmataarage matuĩke a kwĩgirĩrĩria merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ.
7 You should set an example of doing good in all areas of life: show integrity and seriousness in what you teach,
Maũndũ-inĩ mothe, tuĩka kĩonereria gĩa gwĩkaga wega maũndũ-inĩ mothe. Rĩrĩa ũkũrutana onanagia ũrũngĩrĩru, na ũtarĩ na itherũ,
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.
o na waragie ciugo iria ciagĩrĩire, itangĩrutĩka mahĩtia, nĩgeetha arĩa matũkararagia maconorithio tondũ wa kwaga ũndũ mũũru mangĩaria igũrũ riitũ.
9 Tell servants to always obey their masters. They should try to please them and not talk back to them.
Taaraga ngombo atĩ ciathĩkagĩre aathani a cio maũndũ-inĩ mothe, na igeragie kũmakenia, no itigacookanagĩrie nao,
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.
na itikamaiyage indo ciao, no cionanagie atĩ no ciĩhokwo kũna, nĩguo itũmage ũrutani wa ũhoro wa Ngai Mũhonokia witũ wendekage maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
11 For God's grace has been revealed, bringing salvation to everyone.
Nĩ ũndũ wega wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrehaga ũhonokio nĩũguũranĩirio kũrĩ andũ othe.
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)
Wega ũcio wa Ngai nĩguo ũtũrutaga kũregana na maũndũ marĩa matarĩ ma kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai, na merirĩria mooru ma gũkũ thĩ, na gũtũũra twĩgirĩrĩirie merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, na gũtũũra na mĩtũũrĩre ya ũngai na mĩrũngĩrĩru na ya kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai mahinda-inĩ maya tũrĩ, (aiōn g165)
13 as we look for the wonderful hope of the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
o tũgĩetagĩrĩra kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa kĩrĩ na kĩrathimo, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gũkaaguũranĩrio riiri wa Jesũ Kristũ, ũrĩa arĩ Ngai witũ mũnene na Mũhonokia.
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.
Nake nĩwe werutire nĩ ũndũ witũ, nĩguo atũkũũre waganu-inĩ wothe, na atherie andũ matuĩke ake kĩũmbe, arĩa marĩ na kĩyo gĩa gwĩkaga maũndũ mega.
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.
Rĩu-rĩ, maũndũ macio nĩmo wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũrutanaga. Ũmanagĩrĩria na ũkaananagie wĩ na wathani wothe. Ndũkanareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũire.
