¹But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

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 older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and 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]

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

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 train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

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

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

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]

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

⁶Ny lehilahy tanora fanahy koa anaro hahonon-tena;

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

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

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.

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

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

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

¹⁰not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, 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 has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

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

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

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,

¹³looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, 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 iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, 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.

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

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