Titus 3
1 Lizinong nani i ne ati bara anan tigo nin nanan tica tig, inunku vat.
REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 Na iwa firin umong b, na iwa su mayerdan ba na isun anit ti bau mine nin dursuzu nteltinu nati udu na ti vat
to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 Bara nani arik atibite nwa di sa ukpilzu nin salin nunku nat, tiwa cinu hem ti so acin kuna niyizi nin lanzun mman. Tiwa di nanyan likara linanzan nnin shina. Tiwa nari ati bite nin salin laun mmang.
For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 Bara na nshau kibinai Kutelle unan tucu bite nin son suu me udu kitin nit adaa.
But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
5 Awa tucu nari nnuzun maru upese nin lipesen Nfip mi la, na bara ni tawaa na tisuzu b, bara nani nkunekune mer.
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
6 Kutelle na ni nari Nfip me milau nanya Yesu kristi unan tucu bite.
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 Awa suu nani tina see usortu nanya mbolu Kutell, ti da su anan lin gadu nlai sa ligang nin likara kibinai. (aiōnios g166)
that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Too ti pipinghe tinyinuwari. Ndi nin suu iliru nin likara kibinai bara ele imon, ara ale na uyinna nin Kutelle iceu nibinai mine nitwa ni cine naa ana ceu nbugn min. I le imone caun nin se ugb ardan bara anit vat.
Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
9 Bara nani sunan mayardan tilalalng tone nin piziru na kura nin fizu nibinai nnun bara uduk. I leli imone na icau ba nin salin nimong kitene.
But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Nari ule na adin dasu nin kosu natii nanya mine iwa malu wunughe atuf urun sa tiba.
An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
11 Nin yinu au umusin ntele amlu killau liti me nanya libau ti terd nin tizu kulapi nca nkul.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Dana iwa tuu Artamas sa Tychikus ku kiti mine tanmas idak kiti nighe in Nikopolis kikaa nan ina yinin in soo ku kubin tutuwui.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.
13 Tanmas ituu Zinas ku unan yiru ndoka. nin Apollo, nin nimong ile na idinin suwe.
Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
14 Na amit bite masu nitwa nicine nanga na nima bizu ti bukata ti kpaikpai bara iwa so sa nitwa ba
And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
15 Vat nale na idi nin me idin lisu min. Lison ale na idi ni su bite nanya yinnu sa uyenu ubolu Kutelle soo nan ghin. usuo nani
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
