Titu 3
1 Amih te boeilu rhoek taengah, saithainah taengah, boengai ham, olngai ham, bibi then boeih dongah sikim la om ham thoelh pah.
Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,
2 Soehsal uh boel saeh. Kodo neh oldip kadip la om ham, hlang boeih taengah muelhtuetnah boeih tueng sak.
To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.
3 Hnukbuet ah mamih khaw hlangang altha la ng'om uh tih n'rhaithi uh. Hoehhamnah neh omthenbawnnah rhoepsaep dongah sal m'bi uh. Phayoenah neh uethnetnah dongah kho n'sak uh. Khat neh khat rhalawt la hmuhuet uh thae.
For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.
4 Tedae mamih khangkung Pathen kah rhennah neh lungnah te a thoeng vaengah,
But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,
5 mamih loh duengnah dongah bibi n'saii uh nen moenih. Tedae amah kah rhennah vanbangla koepcunnah dongkah silhnah neh Cim Mueihla kah tlaihvongnah rhangnen ni mamih n'khang.
Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,
6 Tekah te mamih khangkung Jesuh Khrih rhangneh mamih soah kodam la han lun coeng.
Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 Te daengah ni Boeipa kah lungvatnah rhangneh n'tang uh coeng tih dungyan hingnah kah ngaiuepnah dongah rhopangkung la n'om uh coeng. (aiōnios g166)
So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Hekah olka tah a uepom. Te dongah nang khaw cak sak la ka cai. Te daengah ni Pathen aka tangnah rhoek loh bibi then tuuk ham a ngaithuen uh eh. Hekah he then tih hlang ham hoeikhang la om.
This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;
9 Tedae aka ang kah olpungnah khaw, rhuirhong khaw, tohhaemnah neh olming kongah rhalthohnah khaw rhael. Amih te aka hloo neh a honghi ni.
But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.
10 Hlaephlae hlang te vai phoeiah a pabae la rhalrhingnah pae lamtah hnawt.
A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;
11 Tebang tah boe tih tholh tila ming. Aka boe la om coeng.
Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.
12 Nang taengla Artemas nim, Tukhiko nim kan tueih vaengah Nikopoli ah kamah taengla pawk ham te na haam mako. Te rhoek ah sikca boek ham ka cai.
When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.
13 Olming Zenas neh Apollos te ngahngah thak. Te daengah ni a vawtthoek pawt eh.
Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.
14 A ngoengaih tangkik vanbangla mah rhoek long khaw bibi then tuuk ham cang van saeh. Te daengah ni a tlongtlai la a om uh pawt eh.
And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.
15 Kai taengah aka om rhoek boeih loh nang kut n'tuuk uh. Tangnah dongah mamih aka lungnah rhoek te kuttu. Lungvatnah tah nangmih boeih taengah om saeh.
All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.
