Titus 1
1 Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.
Paul, a servant of God, and an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
3 Ni ton kima a tsoro itere ma ni to du ma wa mba ne dume dub mi ti wayi ni tre Irji u kpata chuwo.
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4 Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.
to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Savior.
5 Ni tu kima me kawu do ni karita na kima u ka mla kpie ba ti ni ba wa bana Shuna chu be nikon ni gbu'a wawu'u na de me hla'u'a
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
6 Na ki du nikon du na he idi u memeti na. Lilo du he ni iwa riri da he ni imri be wo tre.
if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 A naki nikon u tra Irji du hi u ya tra ni ko ito rime du na ti kpi meme na du na he idi u sohda hwa na, u kpa bubu timeme da soh tuma.
For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 Na kima ka he idi u kpa be tsiri ni wo ha. ikpan ikpi dedema naki du he idi. dedema. u mla kpi ti ni klu sisiri Irji ni sonroma da he u vutuma.
but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
9 Du he u hla tre wa ba towu do'a da na hla ice ni mina. Nakima a ni ya gron bari da tsro ba dedeme u mla ti.
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 Naki idi be sehtu ba hay gbugbu be wa ba tre kukklu da ni guru idi ni ce tutu be wa ba tre ade ba ye jia.
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Abi du ba zuba mba bah itere Irji kwansra da ni tsoro mba ikpi u shan wa a na bi du ba tsoro ba na.
whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 Iri ni mi ba a hi u toh gyegyere a “tere “keme ni glu ingle bi cei, be memeti.
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
13 Itere a njanji mlati ni bawu ni gbegble wa ba gburu ni mi njaji.
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.
not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
15 Ye ni bi wa ba he tsratsra ko nge ni mba a hi tsratsra. i be wa bana he tsratsra na mba na he tsratsra na da he ni njaji na.
To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
