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;

Mini polo, Utienu naaceeno, leni Jesu Kilisti, n suani yua bi dandantieba po. ke ban bandi imoamoani leni mi tegima.

2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)

lankuli tie ya miali kan gbeni yaa sugima tanpuuli. Utienu yua kan pua faama n den bili ya ŋoanianu hali mi ciilima. (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 den poogini ke min doagidi O maama u yogunu n den pundi.

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.

fini tita, n biboadiga, ti kuli dandanlini, Utienu ti Ba, leni Jesu Kilisti ti Candaano ŋanbili leni o yanduama n ya ye leni ŋa.

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 ŋaaŋa kileta ki boa ŋan ŋanbi yaali n den sieni. nani min den bili ya ŋoabona.

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

dogu n kuli ŋan kaani bi gobidikaaba, li kani ya pia yaaba ke bi tendi bi po o siedi ŋamo, ki tie puo yendo Calo, ke bi bila tie yaaba n tiega, yaaba n kaa pia cangidi, kaa tie biyenyieeda.

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;

Li tie tiladi, ke li djandieli gobidikoa n ya pia ya siedo n ŋani, nani Utienu naacemo yeni. wan da ya tie tupaalu, leni mi pafiima daano. yua n ki puuni o yuli li daŋuoli ni. ka tie nibiado, ki da yaa bua ya baali n ki tieegi.

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

Ama ki gaandi bi niba cangu, ki go tie bi niŋanba danli, yumiinli dano, ki tiega, ki gagidi ki ŋana, ki pia mi dingima,

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.

yua n teni o yuli imoamoani maama, yaama ke o den bangima. yeni ke wan fidi ki teni mi bangimoama, ya min nia leni mi bangifaama.

10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Li tie yene, ke baa bi dandantieba siiga ni, bi nieyieekaaba leni bi maciandanba, leni i boandi danba ŋuana n mubini.

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

bi yadi ti diedi, ki tendi ya bangima n ki ŋani, lan ki bi naani n ni ban bangi yaama, ki bua i fee panpaani.

12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

Bi yaa sawalipuaba n ni yendo den yedi, kileta yaaba tie tuofadanba, muayanbiaditi, tugupialu danba.

13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

li siedo tie moamoani. fu leni ba, ke ban ba li dandan moanli.

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

ke ban da teni bi yula ku maasuagu togida leni binisaaliba balimaama, yama n ki ŋua imoamoani.

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.

Li bonla kuli ŋani yaaba n gagidi ki ŋani po, ama li baa kuli ki ŋani yaaba n juagini leni a pajuaga danba po, bi yanfuoma leni yantiana juagini.

16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Bi tua ke bi bani Utienu, ama ki nan nia leni O bi tuona n ni, bi tie cangididanba, ni yiekaaba, ki kan fidi ki tieni mo tuonŋanli ba.
