< Titus 1 >
1 Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines,
Phaawulos isa amantii filatamtoota Waaqaatii fi dhugaa beekuu gara Waaqaaf buluutti nama geessuuf garbicha Waaqaatii fi ergamaa Yesuus Kiristoos taʼe irraa;
2 Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: (aiōnios )
kunis abdii jireenya bara baraa isa Waaqni hin sobne sun jalqaba addunyaatiin dura waadaa gale irratti kan hundeeffamee dha; (aiōnios )
3 But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour:
innis yommuu yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼetti karaa lallaba isa ajaja Fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatiin imaanaa natti kennameetiin dubbii isaa ifatti baaseera,
4 To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour.
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 For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee,
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 If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.
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 For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,
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 But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
Qooda kanaa inni nama keessumaa simatu, nama waan gaarii jaallatu, kan of qabu, qajeelaa, qulqulluu fi nama naamusa qabu taʼuu qaba.
9 Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against 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 there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,
Finciltoonni baayʼeen, warri dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatanii fi gowwoomsitoonni keessumattuu miseensonni garee warra dhagna qabatanii hedduutu jiraatii.
11 Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.
Isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii waan barsiisuun isaan irra hin jirre barsiisuudhaan waan maatii guutuu diiganiif afaan qabachiifamuu qabu.
12 One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.
Raajota isaanii keessaa tokko, “Warri Qareexi yeroo hunda sobdoota; bineensota hamoo dha; albaadheyyii dhibaaʼoo dha” jedheera.
13 This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,
Dhuga baʼumsi kun dhugaa dha. Kanaafuu akka isaan amantii dhugaa qabaataniif jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
14 And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.
Akka isaan mammaaksa Yihuudootaa kan hundee hin qabne yookaan ajaja warra dhugaadhaan mormanii duukaa hin buuneefis jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
15 Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and 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 professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
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.
