¹¶ Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:

¹And thou -- be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;

²Ko nga kaumatua kia ata whakahaere i a ratou, kia tu kaumatua, kia whai whakaaro, kia ora te whakapono, te aroha, te manawanui:

²aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

³Me nga wahine taikaumatua hoki, kia rite nga tikanga ki a te hunga e whakaaro ana ki te tapu, kia kaua e ngautuara, kia kaua e riro hei pononga ma te waina, kia whakaako i nga mea pai;

³aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,

⁴Kia meinga e ratou nga wahine taitamariki kia whai whakaaro, kia aroha ki a ratou tane, kia aroha ki a ratou tamariki.

⁴that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,

⁵Kia whai whakaaro, kia tika, kia pukumahi i te kainga, kia atawhai, kia ngohengohe ki a ratou tane, kei korerotia kinotia te kupu a te Atua.

⁵sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

⁶Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;

⁶The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;

⁷I nga mea katoa kia kitea koe he tauira mo nga mahi pai; ko tau whakaako kia tapatahi, kia tu kaumatua,

⁷concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,

⁸Kia ora te kupu, kei taea te whakahe; kia whakama ai te tangata tikanga ke, te ai he mea e korerotia kinotia ai tatou e ia.

⁸discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.

⁹Ko nga pononga kia ngohengohe ki o ratou rangatira, kia whakamanawarekatia ratou i nga mea katoa; kaua e whakahoki kupu;

⁹Servants -- to their own masters [are] to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

¹⁰Kaua e kaia, engari kia kitea he pai, he nui, to ratou pono; kia ai ratou i nga mea katoa hei whakapaipai i te whakaako i te Atua, a to tatou Kaiwhakaora.

¹⁰not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.

¹¹¶ Kua puta mai hoki te aroha noa o te Atua e ora ai nga tangata katoa,

¹¹For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,

¹²Hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whakakahoretia e tatou te karakiakore me nga hiahia o te ao, kia noho whakaaro tatou, i runga ano i te tika, i te karakia pai, i tenei ao;

¹²teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

¹³Me te tatari ano ki te mea whakahari e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te putanga kororia mai o to tatou Atua nui, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora ano hoki, o Ihu Karaiti;

¹³waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

¹⁴I tuku nei i a ia mo tatou, hei hoko i a tatou i roto i nga kino katoa, hei horoi hoki i a tatou hei iwi mana ake, e ngakau nui ana ki nga mahi pai.

¹⁴who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

¹⁵¶ Korerotia enei mea, whakahaua; kia nui tou maia ki te riri i te he. Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe.

¹⁵these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!
