До Тита 2
1 А ти говори, що відповідає здоровій науці.
But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
2 Щоб старі чоловіки твере́зі були, поважні, помірковані, здорові у вірі, у любові, у терпеливості.
[Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
3 Щоб старі жінки́ в своїм стані так само були, як належить святим, — не обмо́вниці, не відда́ні п'янству, навчали добра,
Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
4 щоб навчали жіно́к молодих любити своїх чоловіків, любити дітей,
in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
5 щоб були помірковані, чисті, господа́рні, добрі, слухня́ні своїм чоловікам, щоб не зневажалося Боже Слово.
Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
6 Так само благай юнакі́в, щоб були помірковані.
As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
7 У всім сам себе подавай за зразка добрих діл, у навча́нні непорушеність, повагу,
You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
8 слово здорове, неосу́дливе, щоб противник був засоромлений, не мавши нічого лихого казати про нас.
teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
9 Раби щоб корилися панам своїм, щоб догоджали, не пере́чили,
As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
10 не крали, але виявляли всяку добру вірність, щоб у всьому вони прикрашали науку Спасителя нашого Бога.
They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
11 Бо з'явилася Божа благода́ть, що спасає всіх людей,
[The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
12 і навчає нас, щоб ми, відцуравшись безбожности та світських пожадли́востей, жили́ помірковано та праведно, і побожно в тепе́рішнім віці, (aiōn g165)
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn g165)
13 і чекали блаженної надії та з'явлення слави великого Бога й Спаса нашого Христа Ісуса,
[Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
14 що Само́го Себе дав за нас, щоб нас визволити від усякого беззако́нства та очи́стити Собі людей ви́браних, у добрих ділах запопа́дливих.
He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
15 Оце говори та нагадуй, та з усяким нака́зом карта́й. Хай тобою ніхто не погорду́є!
Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
