< Titus 2 >

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
Mme wena, buelela go tshela mo go tshwanetseng, mo go tsamaelanang le Bokeresete jwa boammaaruri.
2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
Ruta banna bagolo go tlhwafalela go nna boikgapo, ba tshwanetse go nna le ditlhaloganyo, ba itse, ba bile ba dumela boammaaruri, ba dira sengwe le sengwe ka lorato le bopelotelele.
3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
Ruta basadi bagolo go nna maitseo le masisi mo go sengwe le sengwe se ba se dirang. Ba se ka ba tsamaya tsamaya ba bua bosula kaga ba bangwe le gone ba se ka ba nna matagwa, mme ba tshwanetse go nna baruti ba tshiamo.
4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
Basadi bagolo ba ba tshwanetse go ruta basadi ba meroba go tshela ka tshisibalo mo mekgweng ya bone, go rata banna ba bone le bana ba bone,
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.
le go nna le ditlhaloganyo le megopolo e e itshekileng, ba nna mo malwapeng a bone, ba le pelonomi ebile ba ikobela banna ba bone, gore tumelo ya Sekeresete e se ka ya tlhapadiwa ke ba ba ba itseng.
6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
Fela jalo, kgothatsa makau go itshola sentle ka kelotlhoko, ba tsaya botshelo e le selo sa botlhokwa se se tshwanetseng go somarelwa.
7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
Mme wena ka bowena, o tshwanetse go nna sekao mo go bone ka ditiro tse di molemo tsa mofuta mongwe le mongwe. A sengwe le sengwe se o se dirang se supe lorato lwa gago gore o tlhwaafetse.
8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
Dikgang tsa gago di tshwanetse go nna botlhale le botsipa gore le fa e le mang yo o batlang go nganga nao a itlhabelwe ke ditlhong gonne go tlaa bo go sena sepe se a ka nyatsang puo ya gago ka sone!
9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
Kgothatsa batlhanka go ikobela beng ba bone le go leka bojotlhe jwa bone go ba itumedisa. Ba se ka ba fetolana nabo,
10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
le fa e le go utswa, mme ba tshwanetse go itshupa gore ba ikanyega ka botlalo. Ka go dira jaana, ba tlaa dira gore batho ba tle go dumela mo go Mmoloki le Modimo wa rona.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Gonne neo e e sa rekweng ya poloko ya bosakhutleng jaanong e neetswe mongwe le mongwe;
12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
mme mo go yone neo e, go tla temogo ya gore Modimo o batla gore re furalele botshelo jo bo senang Modimo le dithato tsa boleo, mme re tshele matshelo a a molemo, matshelo a a boifang Modimo ka letsatsi le letsatsi, (aiōn g165)
13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
re lebeletse nako e ntle eo, e re ntseng re e lebeletse, e kgalalelo ya One e tlaa bonwang, kgalalelo ya Modimo wa rona o mogolo le Mmoloki Jesu Keresete.
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.
Yo o suleng ka fa tlase ga tshekiso ya Modimo a swela dibe tsa rona, gore a tle a re falotshe mo go weleng gangwe le gape mo sebeng le go re dira ba e leng ba gagwe tota, re na le dipelo tse di tlhatswitsweng le tlhwaafalo ya boammaaruri ka go direla ba bangwe dilo tse di molemo.
15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
O tshwanetse go ruta bagaeno dilo tse wa bo wa ba kgothatsa go di dira, o ba laya fa go tlhokega jaaka mongwe yo o nang le tshwanelo nngwe le nngwe go dira jalo. Se dire gore le fa e le mang a gopole gore se o se buang ga se botlhokwa.
