Titus 3
1 Ba de ya bi wa ba bahtu mba nu beh chua mba wo tere mba.
Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, to be ready to 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 quarrelsome—gentle, showing all meekness to all men,
3 Na kima khi na sun ni buh na khi na kpakyeme ni kpabuna.
for we, also, were once thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, odious—hating one another;
4 Ni toh kima Irji a ji ikpan shishi ye.
and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Savior appeared
5 Ana hei ni tu indu dedema wa khi ti na. irji a glata ni iyi Yesu
(not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness), He saved us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 irji a nuta Ibrji Tsra tsra gbugbuu ni tu Yesu. Wa a ye kpata chuwoa.
which He poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior,
that having been declared righteous by His grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of continuous 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] steadfast; and concerning these things I intend you to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works—who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things 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 stand away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law—for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Kahme ni idi wa ani chah mba wa ana son tsrei tsrei niyi na.
Reject a heretical man, after a first and second admonition,
11 Bika toh nji kima ana zren tsrei tsrei na.
having known that he has been subverted who [is] such, 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 will send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 U tru Zinas gbagbla, wa a to mlazren ni Appolos ni kon wa ba he ni
Diligently send forth Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
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 them learn—ours also—to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, 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 those with me greet you. Greet those cherishing us in faith. The grace [is] with you all!
