Titus 3
1 Ba de ya bi wa ba bahtu mba nu beh chua mba wo tere mba.
Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,
2 U ka llah ni bawu du mba na mere idi na mba kana sen iyu ni idina. du mba zo mba ni mi sisunron.
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.
3 Na kima khi na sun ni buh na khi na kpakyeme ni kpabuna.
For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
4 Ni toh kima Irji a ji ikpan shishi ye.
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,
5 Ana hei ni tu indu dedema wa khi ti na. irji a glata ni iyi Yesu
not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,
6 irji a nuta Ibrji Tsra tsra gbugbuu ni tu Yesu. Wa a ye kpata chuwoa.
which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 I wayi a hi ton du jaji. Mei sun du tere tere ki bei wa ba kpa Irji teh u jaji mba zere zere u dedema.
The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 U ka domeh ni seh yun u kukulu. ni mbala gye gyere. U sun yun ni tu ibeh U Irji. Ikpi mba ki mba na no ta ipkina.
But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Kahme ni idi wa ani chah mba wa ana son tsrei tsrei niyi na.
An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,
11 Bika toh nji kima ana zren tsrei tsrei na.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 Uwa me ton Artemas ka Tychikus ni wu, ndu ye gbagbla ni me ni Nicopolis ndu su son ni men.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.
13 U tru Zinas gbagbla, wa a to mlazren ni Appolos ni kon wa ba he ni
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;
14 A bi duu ijinbu idi bu khi yah de te kpi dedema da yibi ulu'a ani ye gba gbla du mba na sun hlegana.
and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Bei wa'a ba hey ni mei mba chiu. chi bei wa'a mba kpakyeme ni ta ni mi itere u jaji. zeze i irji du sun ni yi wa wuu.
All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.
