Titus 3
1 Remind them to be submissive to principle offices and positions of authority, to be obedient, to be prepared for every good work,
Raple yo pou soumèt yo a tout wayòm ak otorite yo, pou yo rete obeyisan, eprè pou tout bon zèv
2 to slander no man, to be noncontentious, gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
pou pa di mal de pèsòn, men toujou pezib; janti, e montre tout konsiderasyon pou tout moun.
3 For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, being led astray, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in evil and envy, hateful, hating each other.
Paske nou menm tou, yon fwa nou te ensanse, dezobeyisan twonpè, esklav a tout kalite move dezi ak plezi, e nou t ap pase lavi nou nan mechanste, lanvi, rayisman, nan rayi youn lòt.
4 But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared,
Men lè bonte a Bondye, Sovè nou an, ak lanmou Li pou tout limanite a te parèt,
5 he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Li te sove nou, pa sou baz a zèv ladwati ke nou fè, men selon mizerikòd Li, pa lavaj a rejenerasyon an, e renouvèlman pa Lespri Sen an,
6 which he poured out upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior.
ke Li te vide sou nou an abondans atravè Jésus Kri, Sovè nou an.
7 So that, having been made righteous by the grace of that man, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Konsa nou te vin jistifye pa lagras Li, pou nou ta kapab vin eritye selon esperans a lavi etènèl la. (aiōnios g166)
8 Faithful is the saying. And I want thee to strongly insist about these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to manage good works. These things are good and beneficial to men.
Sa se yon pawòl ki fidèl; epi konsènan bagay sa yo, mwen vle ou pale avèk konfyans, pou sila ki te kwè nan Bondye yo, kapab pridan pou angaje yo nan bon zèv. Bagay sa yo bon, e pwofitab pou moun.
9 But avoid foolish questionings, and genealogies, and contentions, and legalistic fightings, for they are useless and vain.
Men evite konfli ak jeneyaloji ki ranpli ak foli, avèk diskisyon sou Lalwa yo, paske yo san pwofi, e san valè.
10 Shun a factious man after a first and second admonition,
Apre yon premye ak yon dezyèm avètisman rejte yon nonm k ap mete divizyon.
11 knowing that such a man is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
Byen konnen ke yon moun konsa pèvèti. Li nan peche, e ap kondane pwòp tèt li.
12 When I will send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligence to come to me in Nicopolis, for I have decided to winter there.
Lè mwen voye Artémas oswa Tychique kote ou fè tout efò pou vini kote mwen nan Nicopolis, paske mwen deside pase sezon livè a la.
13 Help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way diligently, so that nothing may be lacking for them.
Byen vit, voye avoka a, Zénas ak Apollos nan wout yo pou yo pa manke anyen.
14 And also let our men learn to be in the lead of good works for the essential needs, so that they may not be unfruitful.
Moun pa nou yo dwe osi aprann angaje yo nan bon zèv pou satisfè bezwen imedya yo, pou yo pa manke bay fwi.
15 All those with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in faith. Grace is with all of you. Truly.
Tout sila ki avè m yo salye ou. Salye sila ki renmen nou nan lafwa yo. Ke lagras avèk nou tout.
