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,
Khawsa tyihzawih na awm nawh Khawsa ing ak tyh thlangkhqi ak cangnaak ingkaw Khawsa ak kawngaih benna ak sawikung awitak cyihnaak –
2 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (aiōnios g166)
Kumqui hqingnaak ngaih-unaak awh ak dyi cangnaak ingkaw cyihnaak, qaai amak kqawn Khawsa ing a tym amik kqan hlan awhkawng awi a taak amyihna, (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,
amah ing a tym hoep nawh a taak amyihna ningnih hulkung Khawsa ak awipeeknaak amyihna ak awi ce vangnaak ak khuina ak haw law kung amah ak awipeek amyihna ak awi ak khypyikung kai Paul ing,
4 to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!
Cangnaak awh ka capa Tita a venawh: Pa Khawsa ingkaw ningnih hulkung Jesu Khrih a ven awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh.
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,
Krete sanglak anglak na ka ni ceh taaknaak taw ni hu awh ak coeng kaana ka cehtaak bibi coeng aham ingkaw awi ka peek hawh amyihna khaw boeih awh a hqamca taak peek aham ni.
6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
A hqamca taw coet amak awm thlang, a zu pynoet doeng ak ta, a cakhqi ing amik cangnaak ak thlang ingkaw awi am ngai nawh a awm a hqoh a dawngawh thlang a haiawh toelna amak awm ak thlangkhqi na ami awm aham awm hy.
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,
Thlangboel khoemkung taw Khawsa bibi ak khoemkung na a awm a dawngawh, coet kawina amak awm ak thlang na a awm aham awm hy- amah ak kawngaih doeng ak ngaih ak thlang na am awm kaw, am thin amak tawi, zu amak aw, hqo ang hqit amak ngaih, amak thym ik-oeih huh amak ngaih thlang na a awm aham awm hy.
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
Khin ak khai ak toek thai, ik-oeih leek ak lungnaak, yh thainaak kawlung ak ta, kawpoek ak dyng, ak ciim ingkaw a khawboe ak leek thlang na awm kaw.
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;
Cawngsaknaak amyihna ypawm kawi awihcak ce ak tu ak thlang na awm kaw, cawh ni cangnaak thym ing thlakchang ce tha pe thai nawh ak oelhkhqi ce a hlat hly khqi thai.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—
Ikawtih, cem a qaal na ak tho thlang khawzah awm hy, am lai ak haalkhqi ingkaw thlang ak thainaak khqi na awm uhy, chahhui ak qeetkhqi ce cemyihna awm khqoet uhy.
11 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.
Cemyih thlangkhqi ce ami awm dym aham awm hy, ama mi cawngpyi hly kawi ce cawngpyi unawh ipkhuikaw thlang boeih qawk sak uhy - amak thym ik-oeih huhnaak aham cemyihna sai uhy.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!”
A mingmih ak khui awhkaw tawngha pynoet ingawm vemyihna kqawn hy, “Krete thlangkhqi taw qaai ak kqawn thlangkhqi na awm uhy, thlak che cakhqi, thakdam cakhqi na awm uhy,” tinawh.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Vawhkaw awih kqawn ve thym hy. Cedawngawh cekkhqi ce khawteh na toel lah, cawh ni cangnaak awh ak thym na a ming dyih hly.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
Judahkhqi a syn awi mailai ing awitak ak oelh thlangkhqi ak awi ce koeh ngai law pe uh.
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.
Ak ciim thlangkhqi ham nataw, ik-oeih boeih caih hy, cehlai ak qawk thlangkhqi ingkaw amak cangnaak thlangkhqi ham ikaw awm am caih hy. Ak cang cang awhtaw, amik kawlungkhqi ing amik kawpoekkhqi boeih awm qawk kang hawh hy.
16 They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
Khawsa sim nyng ti lawt hlai uhy, a ik-oeih sai ingtaw oelh qu noe noe bai hy. Ce mihkhqi ce tyih ak cu khqi ni, haa amak za thlangkhqi ing ik-oeih leek sai aham amak kawih thlangkhqi ni.
