Taitus 3
1 Ngam uk te le thunei te thu nit tu le, nasep pha peuma seam tu kinging sa in om a,
Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work;
2 Ngual sonsia ngawl, ngual taw thu ki nial in buai ngawl tu, thinsau le ngual theampo tung ah nunneam na kilangsak tu in phawksak kik in.
to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 Banghangziam cile eite tatak zong nidang lai in a mawmaw, thu ni ngawl, theamna thuak, cilesa deina le lungkimna a tatuam te a seam te, ngualdang tung ah deisakna pha ngawl le hazatna nei te, a ngaimawk huai le khat le khat a ki ensan te i hihi.
For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Ahihang tua zawkciang in eite hong ngum Pathian i phatna le itna sia mihing tung ah kilang a,
But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared,
5 I sep na sa thutang suana nasep te hang hi ngawl in, Ama hesuakna bang in hong suathaksak na taw sil thiangtho na le Tha Thiangtho i thaksua na taw hong tan hi;
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;
6 Eite hong tan Jesus Christ tungtawn in tua Tha Thiangtho sia i tung ah a dimlet in hong buaksuk hi;
which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
7 I lamet tawntung nuntakna bangma in, ngamhlua te i hi thei natu in, Ama thuthiamna tungtawn in thutang hong suaksak hi. (aiōnios g166)
that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Hi thu sia a thuman kammal a hihi, Pathian a um te in nasep pha te a seam tawntung tu in kidawm tahen, ci thu te sia a tawntung thupitak in na hil tu ka dei hi. Hi thu te sia mihing te atu in pha a, phatuam hi.
This is a word which ought to believed and observed, and concerning these things I would have thee stedfastly affirm, that they who have believed in God be careful to excel in good works: for these things are good and profitable to men.
9 Ahihang a mawmawt huai thudokna te le pu le pa khang thu te, ki hau na te, thukham hang in ki nial nate pial in; banghangziam cile hi te sia phattuamna nei ngawl a luithathong a hihi.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes and contentions about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain:
10 Pawl a khen mihing khat sia a khatvei na le a ni vei na thu na hil zawkciang in sang nawn heak in;
reject therefore such an heretical man, after the first and second admonition; knowing that such a one is perverted,
11 Tua pa sia ama le ama mawsiat thuak tu in mawna vawt a, paikhial hi, ci na he hi.
and sinneth as being self-condemned.
12 Artemas a hibale Tychicus, na kung ah kong paisak ciang in, keima kung Nicopolis ah pai tu in hong hanciam tan; banghangziam cile tua mun ah phalbi sung om tu in ka khensat hi.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, endeavour to come to me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
13 Sitnipa Zenas le Apollos te sia amate khualhaw na mun ah hanciam in hawpui in a, amate tung ah bangma kisapna omsak heak in.
Forward Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, on their journey carefully, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Taciang i mihing te zong nga nei ngawl te a hi ngawl natu le a kisam na mun ah zak tu in nasep pha te tatsat ngawl in sin ta hen.
And let our brethren-also learn to excel in good works for necessary exigencies, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Ka kung a om te theampo in hong paupui hi. Upna sung ah hong itte paupui in. Note theampo tung ah thuthiamna hong om tahen. Amen.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
