Titus 1

1 Bulus, kucin Kutelle nin nanan kadura Yesu Kristi, udu utune ana yinu sa uyenu nale na ina fere naini nnuzu Kutelle nin tunu kidegene nin yinu udine nale na yina nin katwa kachine Kutelle

Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —

2 Nin likara kibinai au lai sa liga, un Kutelle ulena adini kinu b, nin likawali vat kafin uur kubi. (aiōnios g166)

In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios g166)

3 Kubi kucine awati uliru kadura me kitini ayina nin me in suu. Inwadin woru in suu nani bara ubelu Kutelle una tuchu bite.

but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:

4 Udu kiti Titus, gono kidegen nanya yinu sa uyen. Ubolu Kutelle nkuneme nin shau kibinai nnuzu Kutelle nin Kristi Yesu. unan tucu bite.

Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 Bara nani iwa cinfi nanya Krete, uma suu imene na ti sa suu ba unin tarda akune ucharananya ni gbir nafo na ina belin fi.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —

6 Akune na iwa yita nin dinon b, ules uwani urum nin nono nayi achine na nin dinonkibinai ba nin salin lazu nliru.

If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;

7 Uhoon igime ame unan yenjue, kilari Kutelle yita lau sa kulapi. na awa yita

For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

8 Nin nani na ayita una sesu namara, una suu nilemong na chou. Ayita unan kpilzu uchine ayita lau, una feu Kuteele nin minu litime.

But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,

9 Ulena ama minu gagan ligulan kidegen, bara anan taa among likara nanya liru uchine nin dursuzu uchine nin kelu na le na inari ghe.

Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.

10 Bara among duku gbardan anannazu kiti masaman ale na ina suu nani ukachiya ti gbulan mine cauzin ba. Idin rusuzu anit udu lidina linanzan.

For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —

11 Ucaun ikpadani. Idin dursuzu ilemon na icau idusuza ba, bara imong chiin insali riba nin musuzu kilari.

Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.

12 Umong mine, adi jinjin ka aworoAnan fulzu kinu nsali ligan inani iyita imun fiu nafo inawan ten, nin kugbala nidowo.''

Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:

13 Ule ulire kidegegher, tamas ukele nani ina su dert nanya yinnu sauyenu.

This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,

14 Nauwa nii kibinai fe na Yahudawa nin na biin mine ba, ko udu tidokoki nanit na kpila nin kibinai kit kidegene.

Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:

15 Udu kiti na le na idi lau, vat umong di lau. Bara udu kiti na lena idi zemzem nin diru yinu nimong ilau. Bara nibinai mine nin kpilizu mine di nanzanghari.

All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;

16 Imasi fo iyiru Kutelle, bara nani inani narighe nin matiza mine. Na icau ba inin di gbas. Na katwa kacine di kiti mine ba.

God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
