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

But you, speak what fits with faithful instruction.

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.

Teach older men to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance.

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;

Teach older women likewise to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or being slaves to much wine, but to be teachers of what is good.

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

In this way they may train the younger women to love their own husbands and 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.

6 Ke ke enginaki ki he kau talavou foki ke loto fakapotopoto.

In the same way, encourage the younger men to use good sense.

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 ways present yourself as an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, dignity,

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.

and a correct message, so that anyone who opposes you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

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

Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything, to please them and not argue with them,

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.

to not steal from them, but instead to demonstrate all good faith, so that in every way they may bring credit to the teaching about God our Savior.

11 He ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻae fakamoʻui ki he kakai kotoa pē, kuo hā mai ia,

For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all people.

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)

It trains us to reject godlessness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this age, (aiōn g165)

13 ‌ʻO tatali ki he ʻamanaki fakamonūʻia ko ia, mo e fakahā ʻi he nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua lahi, ko hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi;

while we look forward to receiving our blessed hope, the appearance of the glory 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.

Jesus gave himself for us in order to redeem us from all lawlessness and to make pure, for himself, a special people who are eager to do good works.

15 Ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo enginaki, mo valoki ʻi he mālohi kotoa pē. ʻOua naʻa manukiʻi koe ʻe ha taha.

Speak of these things, encourage people to do them, and give correction with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
