Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
Pamhnama mpya ja Jesuh Khritawa ngsä kei Pawluh üngkhyüh ni. Kei cun Pamhnama xüa khyangea jumeinak jah kpüi lü mi ningsaw üng mi ngtheia ngthungtak üng jah cehpüi khaia na xü lü a na tüih ni.
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
Acun hin anglät xünnak, äpeinak am tüneiki ni. Akcün am a tünei ham üng käh hleikia Pamhnam naw ahina xünnak khyütam jah pe lü, (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
akcün apha law üng ania mawng cun jah mdanki. Ahin cun kei üng na ap lü jah küikyanki Pamhnam naw na sangsaki.
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Atänga mi tak jumnak am ka ca kcang Tihtuha vei ca ka yuki ni. Pa Pamhnam ja mi küikyan Bawi Khritaw Jesuh naw bäkhäknak ja dim’yenak ning pe se.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
Mlüh naküta sangcim ngvaie jah mcawnki lü hlükaw hamkie na jah bilo khaia Kareta ka ning tak hüt ni. Ka ning mcuhmthehe jah süm bä:
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
ngvai vai cun mkhye am ve yah, a khyu mat däk la yah khai. A cae pi jumei u lü pyen kpet lü am längang yah u.
7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
Sangcim ngvai cun Pamhnama khut bikia kya lü mkhye kpuk vai am ve yah. Ani cun khyang hnepeiki, a mlung cähki, mpyüihmahki, sosatki ja ngui jawngnakia am thawn yah.
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
Ani cun khinnglei khina lü akdaw cun kphya na yah khai. Ani cun amät nängeiki, ngsungki, ngcimki ja sitihkia pi kya yah khai.
9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
Ningsaw naw a ä a jum phyakia mawng cän akceta kcüng yah khai. Acun ngtek püikie khyeki ti cun mdan lü mtheimthangnak akcang am khyang kcee pi ngjuktha jah pe thei yah khai.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Aktunga Judah ning üngkhyüh ngthunghlai law lü ia am ngtähngkhehki ami ksingnak am khyang jah mhlei u lü jah thühlawksaki khawhah vekie.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Ami pyensak jah him vai hlü ve, isetiakyaküng, ngkeeikse ngui yahnak vai mkhüh na u lü am ami jah mthei vai jah mthei lü imkyawnge jah uplatsakie ni.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Karete üngka khyang mat amimäta sahmae naw, “Karet khyange cun hleihlakie, khyükseia kba se u lü dudam u lü eiawk kthanakie,” tia a pyen hin kcangki ni. Ahina phäh akdawa jumnak ami tak law vaia, angkhat kunga jah mcing lü
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
ngthungtak mahki khyange üngkhyüh lawkia nghngicima ngthupete ja Judahea khuikame käh jah ngai ti khaie.
15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Amimät ngcimki hea phäh anaküt hin ngcim lü ami mlungkyawng ja amimät ksingeinak am ngcim lü am ami jumeia phäh avan hin am ngcim.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Pamhnam ksingkiea pyen u lüpi ami vecawh naw kpetki. Amimi cun pyen am ngai lü jah cawkei phyakia kya lü akdaw pawh khaia am nglawi u.
