1Ka ke leaʻaki pe ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku taau mo e akonaki haohaoa:
1But say the things which fit 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.
2that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in 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;
3and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
4Koeʻuhi ke nau ako ki he kau finemui ke anga fakapotopoto, ke ʻofa ki honau husepāniti, ke ʻofa ki heʻenau fānau,
4that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their 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 sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
6Ke ke enginaki ki he kau talavou foki ke loto fakapotopoto.
6Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
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 all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
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 soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing 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;
9Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
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, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
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 all men,
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;
12instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this 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;
13looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory 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.
14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15Ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo enginaki, mo valoki ʻi he mālohi kotoa pē. ʻOua naʻa manukiʻi koe ʻe ha taha.
15Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
