Titus 2

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

Kumele ufundise okuvumelana lemfundiso eqotho.

2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

Fundisa amadoda amadala ukuzithiba, afanele ukuhlonitshwa, azikhuze, njalo aqine ekukholweni, ethandweni kanye lasekubekezeleni.

3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,

Ngokunjalo, fundisa abesifazane abadala ukuba babe ngabahloniphayo ekuphileni kwabo, bangabi ngabahlebayo kumbe ababuswa liwayini kodwa ukuba bafundise okulungileyo.

4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,

Ngakho-ke, bangafundisa abesifazane abatsha ukuba bathande omkabo labantwana babo

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.

ukuba bazikhuze njalo bahlambuluke, lokuba bakhuthale emakhaya, lokuba lomusa, lokuba bazehlise ngaphansi kwabomkabo ukuze kungabikhona ogcona ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.

Ngokunjalo, khuthaza abesilisa abatsha ukuba bazikhuze.

7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

Kukho konke babekele isibonelo ngokwenza okuhle. Ekufundiseni kwakho tshengisa ubuqotho lokuzimisela

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.

kanye lokukhuluma okulengqondo okungeke kusolwe ukuze kuthi labo abakuphikisayo bayangeke ngoba bengelalutho olubi abangalutsho ngathi.

9 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,

Fundisa izisebenzi ukuba zizehlisele ngaphansi kwamakhosi azo ezintweni zonke, zizame ukuwathokozisa, zingawaphenduli,

10 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Saviour, in all things.

zingawantshontsheli, kodwa zibonakalise ukuthi zingathembeka okupheleleyo ukuze kuthi ngakho konke zenze imfundiso ngoNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu ibe ngebukekayo.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

Ngoba umusa kaNkulunkulu oletha insindiso usubonakele ebantwini bonke.

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)

Uyasifundisa ukuthi “Hayi” ekweyiseni uNkulunkulu lasezinkanukweni zasemhlabeni njalo siphile ngokuzikhuza, ngokuqonda empilweni yokulalela uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi samanje, (aiōn g165)

13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Yeshua the Messiah,

lapho sisalindele ithemba elibusisiweyo lokubonakala ngenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu wethu omkhulu longuMsindisi uJesu Khristu

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.

owazinikela ngenxa yethu ukuba asihlenge ebubini bonke kanye lokuthi azihlambululele abantu abangabakhe, abatshisekela ukwenza okuhle.

15 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Ngakho lezi yizinto okumele uzifundise. Khuthaza njalo ukhuze ngamandla wonke. Ungavumeli muntu ukuthi akweyise.
