< Titus 2 >

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ
2 that older men should be sober-minded, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:
ⲃ̅ⲛϩⲗⲗⲟ ⲛⲥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲣϩ ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟϫ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
ⲅ̅ⲛϩⲗⲗⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲣⲡ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛⲣⲉϥϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ
4 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲛϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲣⲙⲁⲓⲡⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ
5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲥⲁⲃⲏ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲧⲉϣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;
ⲋ̅ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛ ϣⲏⲙ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ
7 in all things showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness,
ⲍ̅ⲉⲕⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲛⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲁϫⲛ ⲫⲑⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ
8 and a sound message that cannot be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲁϫⲛ ⲁⲣⲓⲕⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ ϫⲓϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
ⲑ̅ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱϩⲙ ⲁⲛ
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲡ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ
12 instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲥϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧϣⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲕⲟⲥⲙⲓⲕⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲛⲱⲛϩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲕⲁⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϥⲧⲃⲃⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲩⲏⲧ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲉϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲱ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛⲅϫⲡⲓⲟ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ
