¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

¹Ma d kečč sselmed ayen yellan ț-țideț n Sidi Ṛebbi.

²that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in patience:

²Ini i yemɣaṛen ad setqenɛen, ad fken leqdeṛ i yiman-nsen, ad sɛun leɛqel, ad amnen s Sidi Ṛebbi s tideț, ad ḥemmlen wiyaḍ seg wul, ad ṣebṛen i leɛtab.

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

³Ini daɣen i temɣarin ad sɛunt tikli yeṣfan, ur ilaq ara ad ilint ț-țiqeṛṛaḍin, ur ilaq ara ad țḥawalent tissit n ccṛab meɛna ilaq ad nehhunt ɣer wayen yelhan,

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

⁴ad țweṣṣint tilawin ad ḥemmlent irgazen-nsent d warraw nsent,

⁵to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

⁵ad ilint ț-țiɛeqliyin, ad ddunt s ṣṣfa, ad lhint d lecɣal n wexxam, ad lhunt, ad țțaɣent awal i yergazen-nsent iwakken awal n Sidi Ṛebbi ur yețwargam ara.

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

⁶Nhu daɣen ilmeẓyen ad sɛun leɛqel ;

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

⁷kečč s yiman-ik ilaq aț-țiliḍ d lemtel s lecɣal-ik yelhan, sselmad seg wul akk-d țideț,

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.

⁸s imeslayen iṣeḥḥan i deg ur yezmir yiwen a d iwwet, iwakken ixṣimen-ik ur țțafen ara ayen n diri ara hedṛen fell-aneɣ yerna ad nneḥcamen.

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

⁹Iqeddacen daɣen ilaq-asen ad țțaɣen awal yerna ad ɛeǧben bab-nsen, ur sen-țeddun ara di nneqma,

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

¹⁰ilaq ur ten-țțakren ara meɛna ad ilin d wid imeɛnen i deg yella laman, iwakken aselmed n Sidi Ṛebbi amsellek-nneɣ ad yesɛu ccan.

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

¹¹Sidi Ṛebbi isbeggen-ed ṛṛeḥma-s i d-yewwin leslak i yemdanen meṛṛa.

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

¹²Ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi tesselmad-aɣ a neṭṭixeṛ ɣef lecɣal-nneɣ ur nelhi d wayen akk n diri yellan di ddunit, a nɛic di ddunit-a s ṣṣwab, s lḥeqq d ṭṭaɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi ;

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

¹³akka ihi ara neṛǧu lfeṛḥ n wass i nessaram i deg ara d-tban tmanegt n Yillu-nneɣ ameqqran, amsellek nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

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.

¹⁴Yefka iman-is fell-aneɣ iwakken a ɣ-isellek si ddnub yerna a ɣ-yerr d agdud-is yeṣfan, iwejden i lecɣal yelhan.

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

¹⁵Akka i glaq aț-țețmeslayeḍ, aț-țnehhuḍ, aț-țețweṣṣiḍ s lewɛaṛa, ur țțaǧa yiwen a k-yeḥqeṛ.
