Titus 1
1 Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.
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, —
In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (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 hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:
4 Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.
Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
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
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 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 unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;
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 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 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 hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,
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 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 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 unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they 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 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 Iri ni mi ba a hi u toh gyegyere a “tere “keme ni glu ingle bi cei, be memeti.
Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:
13 Itere a njanji mlati ni bawu ni gbegble wa ba gburu ni mi njaji.
This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,
14 Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.
Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from 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.
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 Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
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.
