1Ka ke leaʻaki pe ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku taau mo e akonaki haohaoa:
1But as for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound doctrine.
2Ke faʻa tokanga ʻe he mātuʻa tangata, pea nau anga fakamotuʻa, ʻo fakapotopoto, mo haohaoa ʻi he tui, mo e ʻofa, mo e faʻa kātaki.
2Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance.
3Mo 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;
3Older women, likewise, are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers or addicted to much wine, but teachers of good.
4Koeʻuhi ke nau ako ki he kau finemui ke anga fakapotopoto, ke ʻofa ki honau husepāniti, ke ʻofa ki heʻenau fānau,
4In this way they can train the young women to love their husbands and children,
5Ke 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.
5to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.
6Ke ke enginaki ki he kau talavou foki ke loto fakapotopoto.
6In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.
7Ke 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,
7In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity,
8Mo 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.
8and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
9Ke talangofua ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ki honau ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ke fai kotoa pē ko honau fakafiemālie lelei; kaeʻoua naʻa fakatoutala;
9Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,
10ʻOua 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.
10not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.
11He ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻomi ʻae fakamoʻui ki he kakai kotoa pē, kuo hā mai ia,
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
12ʻO 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;
12It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13ʻO tatali ki he ʻamanaki fakamonūʻia ko ia, mo e fakahā ʻi he nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua lahi, ko hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi;
13as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
14ʻAia 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.
14He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
15Ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo enginaki, mo valoki ʻi he mālohi kotoa pē. ʻOua naʻa manukiʻi koe ʻe ha taha.
15Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
