Titu 3
1 Amih te boeilu rhoek taengah, saithainah taengah, boengai ham, olngai ham, bibi then boeih dongah sikim la om ham thoelh pah.
Remind them to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, 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 revile no one, to not be eager to fight, and to be gentle, showing all humility toward everyone.
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 once we ourselves were thoughtless and disobedient. We were led astray and enslaved by various passions and pleasures. We lived in evil and envy. We were detestable and hated one another.
4 Tedae mamih khangkung Pathen kah rhennah neh lungnah te a thoeng vaengah,
But when the kindness of God our savior and his love for mankind appeared,
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.
it was not by works of righteousness that we did, but by his mercy that he saved us. He saved us through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
6 Tekah te mamih khangkung Jesuh Khrih rhangneh mamih soah kodam la han lun coeng.
God richly poured the Holy Spirit on us through our Savior Jesus Christ,
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 justified by his grace, we might become heirs with the certain 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 message is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to engage themselves in good works. These things are good and useful for everyone.
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 avoid foolish debates and genealogies and strife and conflict about the law. Those things are unprofitable and worthless.
10 Hlaephlae hlang te vai phoeiah a pabae la rhalrhingnah pae lamtah hnawt.
Reject anyone who is causing divisions among you, after one or two warnings,
11 Tebang tah boe tih tholh tila ming. Aka boe la om coeng.
knowing that such a person has turned from the right way and is sinning and condemns himself.
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, hurry and come to me at Nicopolis, where I have decided to spend the winter.
13 Olming Zenas neh Apollos te ngahngah thak. Te daengah ni a vawtthoek pawt eh.
Do everything you can to send on their way Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they lack 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.
Our people must learn to engage themselves in good works that provide for urgent needs, and so not be unfruitful.
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 those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with all of you.
