Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
А ти говори шта пристоји здравој науци:
2 [Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
Старцима да буду трезни, поштени, чисти, здрави у вери, у љубави, у трпљењу;
3 Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
Старицама, такође, да живе као што се пристоји светима, да не буду опадљиве, да се не предају врло вину, да уче добру,
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
Да уче младе да љубе мужеве, да љубе децу,
5 Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
Да буду поштене, чисте, добре домаћице, благе, покорне својим мужевима, да се не хули на реч Божију.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Тако и младиће саветуј да буду поштени.
7 You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
А у свему сам себе подај за углед добрих дела, у науци целост, поштење,
8 teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
Реч здраву, незазорну: да се посрами онај који се противи, не имајући ништа зло говорити за нас.
9 As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
Слуге да слушају своје господаре, да буду угодни у свачему, да не одговарају,
10 They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
Да не краду, него у свачему да показују добру веру, да науку Спаситеља нашег Бога украшују у свачему.
11 [The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
Јер се показа благодат Божја која спасава све људе,
12 God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
Учећи нас да се одрекнемо безбожности и жеља овог света, и да поштено и праведно и побожно поживимо на овом свету, (aiōn g165)
13 [Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
Чекајући блажену наду и јављање славе великог Бога и Спаса нашег Исуса Христа,
14 He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
Који је дао себе за нас да нас избави од сваког безакоња, и да очисти себи народ избрани који чезне за добрим делима.
15 Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
Ово говори, и саветуј, и карај са сваком заповешћу да те нико не презире.
