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,
Phaawulos isa amantii filatamtoota Waaqaatii fi dhugaa beekuu gara Waaqaaf buluutti nama geessuuf garbicha Waaqaatii fi ergamaa Yesuus Kiristoos taʼe irraa;
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (aiōnios g166)
kunis abdii jireenya bara baraa isa Waaqni hin sobne sun jalqaba addunyaatiin dura waadaa gale irratti kan hundeeffamee dha; (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.
innis yommuu yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼetti karaa lallaba isa ajaja Fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatiin imaanaa natti kennameetiin dubbii isaa ifatti baaseera,
4 To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Gara Tiitoo isa amantii walii wajjin qabnuun ilma koo dhugaa taʼeetti: Waaqa Abbaa fi Fayyisaa keenya Kiristoos Yesuus irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan siif haa taʼu.
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.
Sababiin ani Qareexitti si hambiseef akka ati waan utuu hin xumuramin hafe toora qabsiiftuu fi akkuma ani si ajajettis magaalaawwan hunda keessatti jaarsolii muudduuf ture.
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.
Jaarsi tokko kan mudaa hin qabne, dhirsa niitii tokkittii, kan ijoolleen isaa amananii jireenya gad dhiisiitii fi ajajamuu diduun maqaan isaanii hin badin taʼuu qaba.
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.
Phaaphaasiin tokko sababii hojiin Waaqaa imaanaa isatti kennameef inni nama mudaa hin qabne taʼuu qaba malee kan of tuulu, kan dafee aaru, kan machaaʼu, kan lola jaallatuu fi kan karaa hin malleen buʼaa argachuuf tattaaffatu taʼuu hin qabu.
8 Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
Qooda kanaa inni nama keessumaa simatu, nama waan gaarii jaallatu, kan of qabu, qajeelaa, qulqulluu fi nama naamusa qabu taʼuu qaba.
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.
Inni akka barsiisa dhugaatiin warra kaan gorsuu, warra barsiisa sanaan morman immoo akka dogoggora isaanii itti himee amansiisuu dandaʼuuf akkuma barsiifametti dubbii amanamaa sana jabeessee qabachuu qaba.
10 For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
Finciltoonni baayʼeen, warri dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatanii fi gowwoomsitoonni keessumattuu miseensonni garee warra dhagna qabatanii hedduutu jiraatii.
11 who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
Isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii waan barsiisuun isaan irra hin jirre barsiisuudhaan waan maatii guutuu diiganiif afaan qabachiifamuu qabu.
12 As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Raajota isaanii keessaa tokko, “Warri Qareexi yeroo hunda sobdoota; bineensota hamoo dha; albaadheyyii dhibaaʼoo dha” jedheera.
13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
Dhuga baʼumsi kun dhugaa dha. Kanaafuu akka isaan amantii dhugaa qabaataniif jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
Akka isaan mammaaksa Yihuudootaa kan hundee hin qabne yookaan ajaja warra dhugaadhaan mormanii duukaa hin buuneefis jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
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.
Warra qulqullaaʼoof wanni hundinuu qulqulluu dha; warra xuraaʼoo fi warra hin amanneef garuu wanni tokko iyyuu qulqulluu miti. Dhugumaanuu yaadni isaaniitii fi qalbiin isaanii xuraaʼeera.
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
Isaan nu Waaqa beekna jedhu; hojii isaaniitiin garuu isa ganu. Isaan jibbamoo dha; warra hin ajajamnee fi warra waan gaarii tokko iyyuu hojjechuuf gaʼumsa hin qabnee dha.
