Tito 2
1 Ɛsɛ sɛ woma nkyerɛkyerɛ pa a wɔagye ato mu.
But do, thou, speak the things which become the healthful instruction: —
2 Ka kyerɛ nkwakoraa na wɔmma wɔn ani nna hɔ, wɔnyɛ anyansafo, na wɔnhyɛ wɔn ho so; wɔn gyidi mu nyɛ den, wonnya ɔdɔ na wontumi ntena ɔhaw mu.
That, aged men, be, sober, grave, sober-minded, healthy in their faith, love, endurance;
3 Saa ara nso na ka kyerɛ mmerewa na wɔmmɔ ɔbra a ɛyɛ kronkron. Wonnni nseku na wɔnnyɛ asadweam nso. Wɔnkyerɛ akyerɛ pa,
Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, —
4 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔnam so betumi ama mmabaa adɔ wɔn kununom ne wɔn mma,
That they may constrain the young women to be, lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children,
5 ama wɔatumi ahyɛ wɔn ho so, ayɛ kronkron na wɔayɛ awarefo pa a wotie wɔn kununom asɛm, na obi anka bɔne amfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no ho.
soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, —that, the word of God, be not defamed;
6 Saa ara na hyɛ mmerante na wonnya ahohyɛso.
The younger men, in the same way, exhort thou to be sober-minded:
7 Nneɛma nyinaa mu no, fa wo ho yɛ nhwɛso pa wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Di nokware na ma wʼani nku wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho.
In all things, shewing, thyself, an ensample of noble works, —in thine instruction, uncorruptness, gravity,
8 Ka nsɛm a ho tew na obi antumi antia mu na ama atamfo ani awu sɛ wonnya asɛm bɔne nka mfa yɛn ho.
healthful discourse that cannot be condemned, in order that, he that is of the contrary part, may relent, having nothing to say concerning us that is disparaging:
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ asomfo tie wɔn wuranom, na ade nyinaa mu no, wɔsɔ wɔn wuranom ani. Ɛnsɛ sɛ woyiyi nsɛm ano
Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,
10 anaa wɔbɔ wɔn korɔn. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ papa mmere nyinaa na wodi nokware na anam so ama biribiara a wɔyɛ no de anuonyamhyɛ aba nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɛfa Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no ho no.
not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, —that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.
11 Onyankopɔn adom a ɛde nkwagye ba no ayi no ho adi akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
For the favour of God, bringing salvation for all men, hath shone forth,
12 Nʼadom no kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛmpa asetena a ɛho ntew no ne wiase akɔnnɔ akyi na yɛntena ase ahohyɛso, kronkronyɛ ne Onyamesuro mu wɔ wiase ha. (aiōn g165)
Putting us under discipline—in order that, —denying ourselves of ungodliness and worldly covetings, in a soberminded and righteous and godly manner, we should live, in the present age, (aiōn g165)
13 Yɛwɔ anidaso wɔ bere a yɛretwɛn Onyankopɔn tumfo a ɔne Agyenkwa Yesu Kristo no ba a ɔbɛba bio wɔ anuonyam mu no.
Prepared to welcome the happy hope and forthshining of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Christ Jesus, —
14 Ɔde ne ho maa yɛn de gyee yɛn fii bɔne mu, ɔyɛɛ yɛn nnipa a yɛpɛ papayɛ no kronkron de yɛn yɛɛ ne nko ara de.
Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure—zealous of noble works.
15 Kyerɛkyerɛ saa nneɛma yi na gyina wo tumi so hyɛ wʼatiefo nkuran, ka wɔn anim. Mma wɔn mu bi mmmu wo abomfiaa.
As to these things, be speaking and exhorting and reproving, with all manner of precept: let, no one, disregard thee!
