Titus 1
1 Paul, the servant of God, and apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the perfect knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

3 and manifested in his own seasons his word by preaching, with which I am intrusted, according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

4 to Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour.

5 Therefore I left you in Crete, in order that you may set in order remaining things, and establish elders in every city, as I commanded you;
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 one is irreproachable, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not in accusation of riot or incorrigible.
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 it behooves the bishop to be blameless, as the steward of God; not audacious, not irascible, not given to wine, not a controvertist, not fond 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 hospitable, loving the good, prudent, righteous, holy, temperate;
Ani cun khinnglei khina lü akdaw cun kphya na yah khai. Ani cun amät nängeiki, ngsungki, ngcimki ja sitihkia pi kya yah khai.
9 holding that which is according to the teaching of the faithful word, in order that he may be able both to exhort with healthy teaching, and to convict the opposers.
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 many are incorrigible, speaking vain things and egotistical, especially those from 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 whose mouths it is necessary to stop; who overturn whole families, teaching those things which it does not behoove, for the sake of disgraceful gain.
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 A certain one of them, their own prophet, said, The Cretans are all liars, evil beasts, slow stomachs.
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: on account of which cause convict them sharply, in order that they may be sound in the faith,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
ngthungtak mahki khyange üngkhyüh lawkia nghngicima ngthupete ja Judahea khuikame käh jah ngai ti khaie.
15 To the pure all things are pure: but to the corrupted and unbelieving there is nothing pure; yea, their mind and their conscience are polluted.
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 to know God, but deny him by their works, being abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate unto every good work.
