Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
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 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (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 (and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior,
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—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!
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 you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to 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 anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
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 is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain,
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 a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
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—according to the teaching—to the steadfast word, that he may also be able to exhort in the sound teaching, and to convict the deniers;
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 many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those 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 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful 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, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy 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; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
ngthungtak mahki khyange üngkhyüh lawkia nghngicima ngthupete ja Judahea khuikame käh jah ngai ti khaie.
15 All things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and nothing [is] pure to the defiled and unsteadfast, but even the mind and the conscience of them [is] 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 to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
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.
