Tito 1
1 An Paulo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo ma jaote Yesu Kristo ema andikonu baruwani. Nyasaye ne oora mondo ajiw yie mar joma Nyasaye oyiero obed motegno, kendo mondo apuonjgi adiera mamiyo giluoro Nyasaye,
Paul, the servant of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the perfect knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2 kuom geno yudo ngima mochwere, mane Nyasaye, ma ok riambi osesingore chon ni nomiwa. (aiōnios g166)
in the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie, promised before the eternal times, (aiōnios g166)
3 Nyasaye ma Jawarwa ema nohulo wachne malongʼo e ndalo mane en owuon oketo, kendo nogolo chik ni an ema onego miya tich mar lando wachneno.
and manifested in his own seasons his word by preaching, with which I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4 Ne Tito, wuoda mar adier kuom yie moriwowa e achiel: Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro kod Kristo Yesu ma Jawarwa obed kodi.
to Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 Gima omiyo ne aweyi Krete ne en ni mondo irie gik moko mane odongʼ kapok atieko, kendo mondo iyier jodong kanisa e dala ka dala, kaka ne achiki ni itim.
Therefore I left you in Crete, in order that you may set in order remaining things, and establish elders in every city, as I commanded you;
6 Jaduongʼ kanisa nyaka bed ngʼat ma wach moro amora marach onge kuome, kendo ngʼatno man-gi dhako achiel, ngʼat ma nyithinde oyie kendo ma ok nyal kwan kaka nyithindo maricho kendo ma wigi tek.
if any one is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of riot or incorrigible.
7 Nikech jatend kanyakla mar jo-Kristo en ngʼat marito tich Nyasaye, omiyo nyaka obed ngʼat ma wach moro amora marach onge kuome. Kik obed ngʼat mamiyo kanyakla mar joma oyie tingʼ mapek. Bende kik obed ngʼat mochayo ji kata ma ja-mirima, kata ngʼat mamer gi kongʼo, kata ngʼat mohero dhawo, kata ngʼat moyudo mwandu e yor mibadhi.
For it behooves the bishop to be blameless, as the steward of God; not audacious, not irascible, not given to wine, not a controvertist, not fond of filthy lucre;
8 To nyaka obed ngʼat mohero rwako welo, mohero gigo mabeyo, ngʼat ma terore mos, ma ja-ratiro, moluoro Nyasaye; kendo mawinjo puonj.
but hospitable, loving the good, prudent, righteous, holy, temperate;
9 Nyaka omak motegno puonj migeno, mana kaka osepuonje e kinde motelo, mondo eka ojiw joma moko gi puonj madier kendo okwer joma kwedo puonjno.
holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers.
10 Nikech nitie ji mangʼeny ma jongʼanyo, ma gin mana jothor wach kendo jowuond ji, to moloyo jogo moter nyangu ma gin jo-Yahudi moyie.
For many are incorrigible, speaking vain things and egotistical, especially those from the circumcision,
11 Jogi nyaka kwer mondo olingʼ, nikech giketho mier mangʼeny ka gipuonjo gik ma ok owinjore gipuonji; kendo gitimo kamano mana mondo giyudie ohala ma ok nikare.
whose mouths it is necessary to stop; who overturn whole families, teaching those things which it does not behoove, for the sake of disgraceful gain.
12 Kata mana janabi moro ma margi owuon osewacho niya, “Jo-Krete riambo kinde duto, gin ondiegi malich ma timbegi richo kendo gin jowuoro ma budho abudha.”
A certain one of them, their own prophet, said, The Cretans are all liars, evil beasts, slow stomachs.
13 Wach janabigino en adier. Omiyo kwergi matek mondo eka gibed gi yie mar adier,
This testimony is true: on account of which cause convict them sharply, in order that they may be sound in the faith,
14 kendo mondo kik gichik itgi ni sigendini mag jo-Yahudi kata ni chike mag joma odagi adiera.
not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
15 Gik moko duto ler mana ni jomaler, to kuom joma okethore ma ok oyie to onge gima ler. Chutho, pachgi kaachiel gi chunygi monego onyisgi kethogi osetho.
To the pure all things are pure: but to the corrupted and unbelieving there is nothing pure; yea, their mind and their conscience are polluted.
16 Giwacho ni gingʼeyo Nyasaye to gikwedo Nyasaye nogo gi timbegi manono. Gin acheje ma wigi tek kendo ok ginyal timo gimoro amora maber.
They profess to know God, but deny him by their works, being abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate unto every good work.
