1 Ka ke leaʻaki pe ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku taau mo e akonaki haohaoa:

But do you speak the things that become sound teaching;

2 Ke faʻa tokanga ʻe he mātuʻa tangata, pea nau anga fakamotuʻa, ʻo fakapotopoto, mo haohaoa ʻi he tui, mo e ʻofa, mo e faʻa kātaki.

3 Mo e kau finemātuʻa foki, ke nau ʻulungāanga fakamāʻoniʻoni, ke ʻoua naʻa ko e kau fakakovi, pe tokanga lahi ki he uaine, ka ko e kau akonaki ʻoe meʻa lelei;

4 Koeʻuhi ke nau ako ki he kau finemui ke anga fakapotopoto, ke ʻofa ki honau husepāniti, ke ʻofa ki heʻenau fānau,

That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 Ke nau fai poto, mo angatonu, ʻo faʻa nofo ʻi ʻapi, ʻo angalelei, pea talangofua ki honau husepāniti, ke ʻoua naʻa lauʻikovi ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.

7 Ke ke fakahā koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe ngaue lelei: ʻi he akonaki ke hā ʻae taʻehala, mo e anga fakamotuʻa, mo e moʻoni,

in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in teaching, showing incorruptness, gravity,

8 Mo e lea haohaoa, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa talia, koeʻuhi ke mā ai ia ʻaia ʻoku kau kehe, pea ne taʻemaʻu ha meʻa ke ne lauʻikovi ai ʻakitautolu.

sound speech that can not be condemned; that he that is opposed may be ashamed, seeing he has no evil thing to say of us.

9 Ke talangofua ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ki honau ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ke fai kotoa pē ko [honau ]fakafiemālie lelei; kaeʻoua naʻa fakatoutala;

Exhort servants to be subject to their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not contradicting,

10 ‌ʻOua naʻa kaihaʻa, kae fakahā atu ʻae angatotonu lelei kotoa pē; koeʻuhi ke nau fakaongolelei ʻae akonaki ʻoe ʻOtua, ko hotau Fakamoʻui, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.

For the grace of God, which brings salvation to all men, has appeared,

12 ‌ʻO ne akonekina ʻakitautolu, ke siʻaki ʻae anga taʻefakaʻotua mo e ngaahi holi fakamaama, ka tau moʻui anga fakapotopoto, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angafakaʻotua, ʻi he māmani; (aiōn g165)

looking for the blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

14 ‌ʻAia naʻa ne foaki ʻe ia ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke ne huhuʻi ʻakitautolu mei he hia kotoa pē, pea fakamāʻoniʻoni ha kakai lelei lahi maʻana, ʻoku fai velenga ʻae ngaahi ngaue lelei.
