Titus 2
1 But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
Pero tú, habla lo que conviene a la sana doctrina:
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.
Que los viejos sean templados, venerables, prudentes, sanos en la fe, en la caridad, en la tolerancia.
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,
Las ancianas, asimismo, se distingan en un porte santo; no calumniadoras, no dadas al mucho vino, maestras de honestidad;
4 in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
que enseñen a las mujeres jóvenes a ser prudentes, a que amen a sus maridos, a que amen a sus hijos,
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.
a que sean templadas, castas, que tengan buen cuidado de la casa, excelentes, sujetas a sus maridos, para que la palabra de Dios no sea blasfemada.
6 As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
Exhorta asimismo a los jóvenes a que sean templados;
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;
mostrándote en todo por ejemplo de buenas obras; en doctrina haciendo ver integridad, seriedad, pureza,
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.
palabra sana, e irreprensible; que el adversario se avergüence, no teniendo ninguno mal que decir de vosotros.
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].
Exhorta a los siervos a que sean sujetos a sus señores, que agraden en todo, no respondones;
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.
en nada defraudando, antes mostrando toda buena lealtad, para que adornen en todo la doctrina de nuestro Salvador Dios.
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].
Porque la gracia de Dios que trae salvación, se manifestó a todos los hombres.
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)
Enseñándonos que, renunciando a la impiedad y a los deseos mundanos, vivamos en este siglo templada, justa, y píamente, (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!
esperando aquella esperanza bienaventurada, y la manifestación gloriosa del gran Dios y Salvador nuestro Jesús, el Cristo.
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.
Que se dio a sí mismo por nosotros para redimirnos de toda iniquidad, y limpiar para sí un pueblo propio, seguidor de buenas obras.
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!
Esto habla y exhorta, y reprende con toda autoridad. Nadie te desprecie.
