¹But do *thou* speak the things that become sound teaching;

¹[Ny mety hataon'ny anti-panahy sy ny tanora fanahy sy ny mpanompon'olona, ary fananarana sy hafatra samy hafa] Fa ianao kosa dia milazà izay miendrika ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema; [ Gr. salama]

²that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

²ny lehilahy anti-panahy anaro hahonon-tena, ho maotona, ho hendry, hatanjaka amin'ny finoana, amin'ny fitiavana, amin'ny faharetana. [ Gr. salama]

³that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

³Ny vehivavy anti-panahy koa anaro hitondra tena toy izay miendrika ny olona masina, tsy ho mpanendrikendrika, tsy ho andevozin'ny divay be, ho mpampianatra ny zavatra tsara,

⁴that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

⁴mba hampianarany ny vehivavy tanora fanahy ho tia ny vadiny, ho tia ny zanany,

⁵discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

⁵hahonon-tena, ho madio toe-panahy, hiasa ao an-tranony, ho tsara fanahy, hanaiky ny vadiny, mba tsy hitenenana ratsy ny tenin'Andriamanitra. [ Gr. hanaovana blasfemia; izahao Mat. 9,3]

⁶The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

⁶Ny lehilahy tanora fanahy koa anaro hahonon-tena;

⁷in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

⁷ka amin'ny zavatra rehetra dia asehoy ny tenanao ho fianarana ny asa tsara, amin'ny fampianaranao maneho ny tsi-faharatsiana, ny fahamaotinana,

⁸a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

⁸ny teny tsy misy kilema, izay tsy azo tsinina, mba ho menatra izay manohitra; satria tsy hisy ratsy hitenenany anareo. [ Gr. salama]

⁹bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

⁹Ny mpanompo koa dia anaro hanaiky ny tompony ka hanao izay sitrapony amin'ny zavatra rehetra, fa tsy hamalivaly,

¹⁰not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

¹⁰tsy hangala-tetỳ, fa haneho izay toe-panahy mahatoky indrindra, mba hampahamendrika ny fampianaran'Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika, amin'ny zavatra rehetra.

¹¹For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

¹¹Fa efa miseho ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, izay famonjena ny olona rehetra,

¹²teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,

¹²mampianatra antsika handà izay toe-panahy tsy araka an'Andriamanitra sy ny filan'izao tontolo izao ary ho velona amin'ny onony sy ny marina ary ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra amin'izao fiainana ankehitriny izao,

¹³awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹³miandry ny fanantenana mahafinaritra sy ny fisehoan'ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra lehibe sady Mpamonjy antsika, dia Jesosy Kristy, [ Na: Andriamanitra lehibe sy Jesosy Kristy, Mpamonjy antsika]

¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

¹⁴Izay nanolotra ny tenany hamonjy antsika, mba hanavotany antsika ho afaka amin'ny ota rehetra, sy hanadiovany izay olona ho an'ny tenany, sady ho mazoto indrindra amin'ny asa tsara izany.Izany no lazao sy ananaro ary andrarao amin'ny fahefana rehetra. Aza avela hisy hanao tsinontsinona anao.

¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

¹⁵Izany no lazao sy ananaro ary andrarao amin'ny fahefana rehetra. Aza avela hisy hanao tsinontsinona anao.
