³Ai phen vi le phuria zhuvliange te traiin malades, ai te na pupuin, ai te na machon, numa trobul te sicharen so si lasho;

³and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

⁴saxke te sicharen le boriorhan te aven lenge drago, lenge rhom, ai lenge glati,

⁴that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

⁵ai te aven lashia, ai vuzhia, ai te len sama mishto katar penge khera, ai te lenpe pala penge rhom, saxke te na mothol khonik nasul pai Vorba le Devleski.

⁶Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

⁷Ai vi tu trobul te sikaves ande soste godi o mishtimos, ai vi trobul te aves chachimasa, ai te na keres phirasa kana divines pa Del.

⁷in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

⁸Ai phen vorbi chache, saxke te na mothon ke nai mishto, ai kadia che duzhmaia avela lenge lazhav, ke nashti mothona chi iek nasulimos pa amende.

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.

⁹Ai trobul le slugi te pachan o mui penge gazdango, ai te aven lensa lashe ande soste godi; ai chi trobul te den le atweto palpale zhungales.

⁹Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

¹⁰Ai chi trobul te choren lendar kanchi, numa trobul te sikaven sagda ke lashe le ai ke pachan o mui, saxke te avel o luvudimos ande soste godi ande Vorba le Devleski amaro skepitori.

¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

¹¹Ke O Del sikadia pesko lashimos te skepil pe swako manush.

¹¹For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹²Ke o lashimos le Devlesko sicharel ame te mekas o traio o chorho, ai le dieli kadala phuviake te traiisaras pe kadia phuv iek traio lasho, vorta, ai te beshas pasha Del.

¹²instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

¹³O lashimos le Devlesko sicharel ame te traiisaras vorta zhi kai avel o dies kai azhukeras. O dies kai sikadiola o luvudimos amare bare Devlesko ai amare skepitoresko o Jesus Kristo.

¹³looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

¹⁴Wo diape pala amende, saxke te ankalavel ame andal bezexa, ai te kerel anda amende iek narodo vuzho kai si ferdi lesko, ai manush kai mangen te keren o mishtimos.

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.

¹⁵Sichar sa kodola vorbi bi darako te zhutis le manushen kai ashunen tute, vai te mothos lenge lenge dosha, ai na mek kanikas te rimol tu.

¹⁵Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
