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 be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, 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 speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility towards 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 we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Tedae mamih khangkung Pathen kah rhennah neh lungnah te a thoeng vaengah,
But when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love towards 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.
not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 Tekah te mamih khangkung Jesuh Khrih rhangneh mamih soah kodam la han lun coeng.
whom he poured out on us richly through Yeshua the Messiah 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)
that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to 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 saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable 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 shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Hlaephlae hlang te vai phoeiah a pabae la rhalrhingnah pae lamtah hnawt.
Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
11 Tebang tah boe tih tholh tila ming. Aka boe la om coeng.
knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
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 to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Olming Zenas neh Apollos te ngahngah thak. Te daengah ni a vawtthoek pawt eh.
Send Zenas the Torah scholar and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
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.
Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may 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 who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
