Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
Bulus, kucin Kutelle nin nanan kadura Yesu Kristi, udu utune ana yinu sa uyenu nale na ina fere naini nnuzu Kutelle nin tunu kidegene nin yinu udine nale na yina nin katwa kachine Kutelle
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (aiōnios g166)
Nin likara kibinai au lai sa liga, un Kutelle ulena adini kinu b, nin likawali vat kafin uur kubi. (aiōnios g166)
3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
Kubi kucine awati uliru kadura me kitini ayina nin me in suu. Inwadin woru in suu nani bara ubelu Kutelle una tuchu bite.
4 To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Udu kiti Titus, gono kidegen nanya yinu sa uyen. Ubolu Kutelle nkuneme nin shau kibinai nnuzu Kutelle nin Kristi Yesu. unan tucu bite.
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Bara nani iwa cinfi nanya Krete, uma suu imene na ti sa suu ba unin tarda akune ucharananya ni gbir nafo na ina belin fi.
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
Akune na iwa yita nin dinon b, ules uwani urum nin nono nayi achine na nin dinonkibinai ba nin salin lazu nliru.
7 As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
Uhoon igime ame unan yenjue, kilari Kutelle yita lau sa kulapi. na awa yita
8 Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
Nin nani na ayita una sesu namara, una suu nilemong na chou. Ayita unan kpilzu uchine ayita lau, una feu Kuteele nin minu litime.
9 He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
Ulena ama minu gagan ligulan kidegen, bara anan taa among likara nanya liru uchine nin dursuzu uchine nin kelu na le na inari ghe.
10 For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
Bara among duku gbardan anannazu kiti masaman ale na ina suu nani ukachiya ti gbulan mine cauzin ba. Idin rusuzu anit udu lidina linanzan.
11 who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
Ucaun ikpadani. Idin dursuzu ilemon na icau idusuza ba, bara imong chiin insali riba nin musuzu kilari.
12 As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Umong mine, adi jinjin ka aworoAnan fulzu kinu nsali ligan inani iyita imun fiu nafo inawan ten, nin kugbala nidowo.''
13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
Ule ulire kidegegher, tamas ukele nani ina su dert nanya yinnu sauyenu.
14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
Nauwa nii kibinai fe na Yahudawa nin na biin mine ba, ko udu tidokoki nanit na kpila nin kibinai kit kidegene.
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
Udu kiti na le na idi lau, vat umong di lau. Bara udu kiti na lena idi zemzem nin diru yinu nimong ilau. Bara nibinai mine nin kpilizu mine di nanzanghari.
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
Imasi fo iyiru Kutelle, bara nani inani narighe nin matiza mine. Na icau ba inin di gbas. Na katwa kacine di kiti mine ba.
