Titus 1
1 Paul, bondman of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of God's elect, and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to piety;
Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.
2 in [the] hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time, (aiōnios g166)
Biyi ni ye suron ni drie u kakle wa ice na hei ni mi Irjina wa a hlah ni sen. (aiōnios g166)
3 but has manifested in its own due season his word, in [the] proclamation with which I have been entrusted, according to [the] commandment of our Saviour God;
Ni ton kima a tsoro itere ma ni to du ma wa mba ne dume dub mi ti wayi ni tre Irji u kpata chuwo.
4 to Titus, my own child according to [the] faith common [to us]: Grace and peace from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest go on to set right what remained [unordered], and establish elders in each city, as I had ordered thee:
Ni tu kima me kawu do ni karita na kima u ka mla kpie ba ti ni ba wa bana Shuna chu be nikon ni gbu'a wawu'u na de me hla'u'a
6 if any one be free from all charge [against him], husband of one wife, having believing children not accused of excess or unruly.
Na ki du nikon du na he idi u memeti na. Lilo du he ni iwa riri da he ni imri be wo tre.
7 For the overseer must be free from all charge [against him] as God's steward; not headstrong, not passionate, not disorderly through wine, not a striker, not seeking gain by base means;
A naki nikon u tra Irji du hi u ya tra ni ko ito rime du na ti kpi meme na du na he idi u sohda hwa na, u kpa bubu timeme da soh tuma.
8 but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,
Na kima ka he idi u kpa be tsiri ni wo ha. ikpan ikpi dedema naki du he idi. dedema. u mla kpi ti ni klu sisiri Irji ni sonroma da he u vutuma.
9 clinging to the faithful word according to the doctrine taught, that he may be able both to encourage with sound teaching and refute gainsayers.
Du he u hla tre wa ba towu do'a da na hla ice ni mina. Nakima a ni ya gron bari da tsro ba dedeme u mla ti.
10 For there are many and disorderly vain speakers and deceivers of people's minds, specially those of [the] circumcision,
Naki idi be sehtu ba hay gbugbu be wa ba tre kukklu da ni guru idi ni ce tutu be wa ba tre ade ba ye jia.
11 who must have their mouths stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which ought not [to be taught] for the sake of base gain.
Abi du ba zuba mba bah itere Irji kwansra da ni tsoro mba ikpi u shan wa a na bi du ba tsoro ba na.
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said, Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.
Iri ni mi ba a hi u toh gyegyere a “tere “keme ni glu ingle bi cei, be memeti.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
Itere a njanji mlati ni bawu ni gbegble wa ba gburu ni mi njaji.
14 not turning [their] minds to Jewish fables and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.
15 All things [are] pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Ye ni bi wa ba he tsratsra ko nge ni mba a hi tsratsra. i be wa bana he tsratsra na mba na he tsratsra na da he ni njaji na.
16 They profess to know God, but in works deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.
Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
