3 M e 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;

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

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

6 M e whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;

Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;

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

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

8 K ia 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.

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

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

10 K aua 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.

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

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

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

12 H ei 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;

13 M e 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;

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

14 I 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.

who 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.

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