< Titus 3 >

1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Kae wo nkurɔfo na wɔmmrɛ wɔn ho ase nhyɛ ahemfo ne wɔn a tumi hyɛ wɔn nsa no ase, wɔnyɛ osetie, wonsiesie wɔn ho mma adwuma pa biara,
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
na wɔnnka asɛmmɔne mmfa obi ho na mmom, wonnwo brɛoo, na daa wonni obiara ni.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Kan no, na yɛn ankasa yɛyɛ nkwaseafo, asoɔdenfo, ne abɔnefo. Na yɛyɛ akɔnnɔ ne anigye ahorow nkoa. Yɛsɛee yɛn abrabɔ wɔ bɔne ne anibere ho. Afoforo tan yɛn maa yɛn nso yɛtan wɔn.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
Nanso bere a yɛn Agyenkwa Onyankopɔn ayamye ne ne dɔ daa adi no,
5 not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
ogyee yɛn nkwa. Ɛnyɛ nnwuma pa bi a yɛayɛ nti, na mmom ɔnam nʼahummɔbɔ so ahohoro yɛn ho, agye yɛn nkwa ama Honhom Kronkron no awo yɛn foforo ama yɛn nkwa foforo.
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
Onyankopɔn nam Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no so ahwie Honhom Kronkron no agu yɛn so,
7 that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of the consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nʼadom nti, yɛbɛyɛ daa nkwa no anidaso ho adedifo. (aiōnios g166)
8 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;
Eyi yɛ nokwasɛm. Mepɛ sɛ wuti saa asɛm yi mu yiye na ama wɔn a wogye Onyankopɔn di no ahu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn bere di dwuma pa. Eyinom nyinaa ye na so wɔ mfaso ma nnipa.
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Nanso munnnye nkwasea akyinnye. Saa ara nso na monnto ana, nkasakasa, nham wɔ mmara ho; so nni mfaso biara.
10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
Bɔ obi a ɔde mpaapaemu ba no kɔkɔ nea edi kan ne ne nea ɛto so abien, na ɛno akyi no twe wo ho fi ne ho.
11 knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wuhu sɛ obi a ɔte saa no asɛe, na bɔne a ɔyɛ no da adi wɔ ne ho.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
Sɛ mesoma Artema anaa Tihiko wo nkyɛn a, bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn wɔ Nikopoli, na hɔ na mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛtena awɔwbere no.
13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
Bɔ mmɔden gya mmaranimfo Sena ne Apolo kwan yiye na anhia wɔn hwee.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Ma yɛn nkurɔfo no nsua sɛnea wɔde wɔn adagyew yɛ nnwuma pa de boa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtena ase kwa.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Wɔn a wɔne me wɔ ha nyinaa kyiakyia wo. Kyia wɔn a wɔdɔ yɛn wɔ gyidi mu ma yɛn. Adom nka mo nyinaa.
