Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
li tiline tie Pɔl n tena, wani tie U tienu Tuosɔnlo yen Jesu ŋɔtielo, yaab k U tienu lukdbi. O den lukd minn k n coanbi U tienu dandaanl ni yen k go waanbi mumuni kul tunda yal tie ti dandanlepo.
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
Yen lan fidi bin yaa pia ya mial kaan gbeni. Ya Tienu k puɔ faag den puon ti yal mieli kaan gbel haali yoknu. (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
O yogn den pudi, Pɔl den waano omaam yen olabaal moni yaal ke o den teni, yeni U tienu yaa palopo yuaan ti Fietua.
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
N fuoda, Tidi n big buaadi kiti ya dendalin: N Jaandi k U tienu t baa yen Yesu Kristu ti Fietua n tena o ŋalebalk yen n yanduam.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
N den ŋaaŋaan Kreti dogoon yen lan fidi naan jodi letuol ki guani k bobni dogu kuli jandierin liga jabaa yen min den waan maanma. b
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
L buɔl k ligi yaaba kul lin yaa pia ya yeyienu ŋaan yen waan da tie ncocom. li boal k be yaan firi daan o bilaa po, o bilaa yeyenu lin yaa ŋaan cien k go yaa ŋaam jini bibaa.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
L yaapo, li buɔl ki jandiogu ligi yua da pia nangma, kelima o tie U tien deni liga yua. li ya po cedi ko ka tie yoa pia bidi onini ba pibinli, okan ya tie dañulo, likonkonl dano. Ki da pia ya bona k coyeni efe.
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
wan ya tie o cangalo, o ŋanmu yadonl, o baa tie yoa ŋaam maali, k tuoli ŋani, o yeyinnu kaan pia jɔgnd ki go ya tie yoa cɔln oba.
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
wan ŋami k ya kubi labal ŋamo ya nanani ban den tundo yalaa. Li ya po obaa fidi k ya pagdii olieba nani atud ŋamaa ki yie yala k tie lani.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Kelima bocienli yie ke bi kaan coɔl U tienu mumuni. Bi ŋmand bi nuba yula k baan yaa ŋoa yala tie b ma faagu. Ti la binubanii bocienl ñaani Jufi yaaba ni.
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
L buɔli ki nan munni bi ñanaa, kelima bi gulg ti diedi kul k moandi yalan kii bual, kelima bi kpaan ne ligi.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Kreti yaaba den pia yoa k bi den yio sawal pual, O madi; k bi yaa nubaa tie faodanba, Bi tie ya yandi bia, yen ajidiciama yen bi kpaljidaanba.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Didi mani ya bubud ŋan: L buɔl k yin yaa ŋaanm jalgbi yen ban fid i ki ya pia li dandanl ŋanli.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
ki baan da ŋoan Juifbaa maam yeni ya yikodi ki bi nub biliki fidi ki ŋmagdi binubi yaal tie mumuni.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
“yen yaa ba ŋam ŋani O tienu, lekul ŋani” ama ya nuba pia ti jɔkn yen n kan daama. Ba pu k ŋani bi nugani. Bi malma yen bi yan jagli kul jognoo.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
L ya po b mɔdo made k bi ban O tienu, ama bi yeyienu k ta yen O tien maam. Kelima nul ki buabi yen bi kan fedi suan tuol ŋanl ba kul.
