Taituha 2
1 Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 Ko nga kaumatua kia ata whakahaere i a ratou, kia tu kaumatua, kia whai whakaaro, kia ora te whakapono, te aroha, te manawanui:
That the aged men be sober minded, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 Me nga wahine taikaumatua hoki, kia rite nga tikanga ki a te hunga e whakaaro ana ki te tapu, kia kaua e ngautuara, kia kaua e riro hei pononga ma te waina, kia whakaako i nga mea pai;
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 Kia meinga e ratou nga wahine taitamariki kia whai whakaaro, kia aroha ki a ratou tane, kia aroha ki a ratou tamariki.
That they may teach the young women to be sober minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 Kia whai whakaaro, kia tika, kia pukumahi i te kainga, kia atawhai, kia ngohengohe ki a ratou tane, kei korerotia kinotia te kupu a te Atua.
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6 Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 I nga mea katoa kia kitea koe he tauira mo nga mahi pai; ko tau whakaako kia tapatahi, kia tu kaumatua,
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing integrity, gravity, sincerity,
8 Kia ora te kupu, kei taea te whakahe; kia whakama ai te tangata tikanga ke, te ai he mea e korerotia kinotia ai tatou e ia.
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
9 Ko nga pononga kia ngohengohe ki o ratou rangatira, kia whakamanawarekatia ratou i nga mea katoa; kaua e whakahoki kupu;
Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Kaua e kaia, engari kia kitea he pai, he nui, to ratou pono; kia ai ratou i nga mea katoa hei whakapaipai i te whakaako i te Atua, a to tatou Kaiwhakaora.
Not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 Kua puta mai hoki te aroha noa o te Atua e ora ai nga tangata katoa,
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whakakahoretia e tatou te karakiakore me nga hiahia o te ao, kia noho whakaaro tatou, i runga ano i te tika, i te karakia pai, i tenei ao; (aiōn g165)
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (aiōn g165)
13 Me te tatari ano ki te mea whakahari e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te putanga kororia mai o to tatou Atua nui, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora ano hoki, o Ihu Karaiti;
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 I tuku nei i a ia mo tatou, hei hoko i a tatou i roto i nga kino katoa, hei horoi hoki i a tatou hei iwi mana ake, e ngakau nui ana ki nga mahi pai.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself his own special people, zealous of good works.
15 Korerotia enei mea, whakahaua; kia nui tou maia ki te riri i te he. Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
