Tito 2

¹Zvino iwe, taura zvakafanira dzidziso yakarurama.But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

²Varume vakuru ngavave vakasvinuka, vanokudzwa, vakangwara, vakarurama pakutenda, naparudo, napakutsungirira;That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

³saizvozvo vo vakadzi vakuru ngavave nomufambire wakafanira vatsvene, vasingacheri, kana kuda waini zhinji, asi vave vadzidzisi vezvakanaka;The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

⁴kuti vadzidzise vakadzi vaduku, kuti vade varume vavo, nokuda vana vavo.That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵vave vakangwara, vakachena, vanogara pamusha, vakanaka, vanoteerera varume vavo, kuti shoko raMwari rirege kumhurwa.To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

⁶Saizvozvo vo varume vaduku uvaraire kuti vave vakangwara;Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

⁷pazvinhu zvose iwe umene uvaratidze makwara amabasa akanaka; uve nokusakanganisa pakudzidzisa, nomugarire unokudzwa.,In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

⁸nokutaura kwakarurama, kusingagoni kushovorwa, kuti unopesana nesu anyadziswe, asi nechinhu chakaipa chaangareva pamusoro pedu.Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

⁹Varanda ngavazviise pasi pavatenzi vavo, vavafadze pazvinhu zvose, vasingakakavari;Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

¹⁰vasingabi, asi varatidze kutendeka kwakanaka kwose, kuti vashongedze dzidziso yaMwari, Muponesi wedu, pazvinhu zvose.Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

¹¹Nokuti nyasha dzaMwari dzakavonekwa, dzinovigira vanhu vose kuponeswa,For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

¹²Dzichitidzidzisa isu kuti tirambe kusanamata Mwari nokuchiva zvenyika, tirarame nokungwara, nokururama, nokunamata Mwari panguva ino,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

¹³takatarira tariro inofadza, nokuvonekwa kwokubwinya kwaMwari mukuru, noMuponesi wedu, Kristu Jesu.Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴wakazvipa nokuda kwedu, kuti atidzikinure pazvisakarurama zvose, kuti azvinatsire vanhu vave vake chaivo, vanhu vanoshingairira mabasa akanaka.Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

¹⁵Taura zvinhu izvi, uraire, urange nesimba rose; ngakurege kuva nomunhu unokuzvidza.These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
