Titu 1
1 Pathen kah sal neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih kai Paul loh, Pathen hlang coelh kah tangnah neh oltak mingnah, dungyan hingnah ngaiuepnah dongkah hingcimnah vanbangla kan yaak sak.
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledgement of the truth, which is according to godliness;
in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised be fore the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
3 Tedae olhoe dongah amah kah olka tah amah tue vaengah phoe coeng. Tekah te mamih khangkung Pathen kah olpaek vanbangla kai taengah a hal coeng.
but he has in his own times manifested his word by preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
4 A cui la tangnah dongah ka ca tak Titu taengah, Pa Pathen neh mamih khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah te soep saeh.
to Titus, my true son, according to the common faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 Te ham ni Krete ah nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni Kai loh nang kan uen vanbangla kho takuem ah a hamca rhoek na tuek vetih a vawtthoek te na soepsoei thai eh.
I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you:
6 Tedae khat khat ni cimbit la a om atah, yuu va pakhat bueng aka om, a ca rhoek uepom la aka om, cungpoehnah neh thinthah dongah lai om boel saeh.
if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, if he has faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, or disobedient.
7 Hiphoelkung he Pathen kah hnokhoem la a om dongah a cimbit la om ham a kuek. Cungpoeh boel saeh, thintoi boel saeh, yumi boel saeh, kuthlah boel saeh, tangkarhai boel saeh.
For the bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means;
8 Tedae moeihoeih la, ko-op la, cuepmueih la, a dueng la, a cim la kuemsuem saeh.
but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate,
9 Thuituennah vanbangla olka te uepom la tu saeh. Te daengah ni thaphoh vetih boekoek rhoek te aka cuem thuituennah nen khaw, toeltham ham khaw a om thai eh.
holding fast the sure word as it is taught, that he may be able, by sound teaching, both to exhort and to convince the opposers.
10 Thinthah rhoek, olhong rhoek neh vuelvaekkung rhoek loh, olpuei la yahvinrhetnah khuikah muep om ngawn.
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Amih te kamkhuem sak ham a kuek coeng. Amih loh rhaidaeng a ti uh mueh la imkhui tom a palet uh tih amah hoeikhangnah ham te a thuituen uh.
whose mouths must be stopped: these subvert whole houses by teaching, for the sake of base gain, things which they ought not to teach.
12 Amih khuikah hlang pakhat, amih kah tonghma loh, “Krete, laithae rhoek, boethae maehkai, palyal bungkawng taitu uh mai,” a ti.
One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said: The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
13 Hekah laipai tah thuem. Tekah paelnaehnah lamloh amih te rhap toeltham. Te daengah ni tangnah dongah a sa a ding uh eh.
This testimony is true; wherefore rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Judah rhoek kah yancil neh oltak aka phaelh hlang rhoek kah olpaek te hnatung boeh.
and not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn away from the truth.
15 A rhoepsaep he aka caih rhoek ham a caih la om. Tedae aka boi rhoek neh aka tangnahmueh rhoek ham tah caih pawh. Tedae amih kah lungbuei neh mingcimnah khaw boi uh coeng.
To the pure, all things are pure: but to the denied and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their mind and their conscience are denied.
16 Pathen te ming ham a phong uh dae a khoboe neh a hnawt uh. Rhalawt la om uh tih lokhak uh. Bibi then boeih nen khaw lolhmaih uh.
They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him, being detestable and disobedient, and, as it respects every good work, rejected.
