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,

Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.

2 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (aiōnios g166)

Biyi ni ye suron ni drie u kakle wa ice na hei ni mi Irjina wa a hlah ni sen. (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,

Ni ton kima a tsoro itere ma ni to du ma wa mba ne dume dub mi ti wayi ni tre Irji u kpata chuwo.

4 to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!

Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.

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,

Ni tu kima me kawu do ni karita na kima u ka mla kpie ba ti ni ba wa bana Shuna chu be nikon ni gbu'a wawu'u na de me hla'u'a

6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—

Na ki du nikon du na he idi u memeti na. Lilo du he ni iwa riri da he ni imri be wo tre.

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,

A naki nikon u tra Irji du hi u ya tra ni ko ito rime du na ti kpi meme na du na he idi u sohda hwa na, u kpa bubu timeme da soh tuma.

8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,

Na kima ka he idi u kpa be tsiri ni wo ha. ikpan ikpi dedema naki du he idi. dedema. u mla kpi ti ni klu sisiri Irji ni sonroma da he u vutuma.

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;

Du he u hla tre wa ba towu do'a da na hla ice ni mina. Nakima a ni ya gron bari da tsro ba dedeme u mla ti.

10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—

Naki idi be sehtu ba hay gbugbu be wa ba tre kukklu da ni guru idi ni ce tutu be wa ba tre ade ba ye jia.

11 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.

Abi du ba zuba mba bah itere Irji kwansra da ni tsoro mba ikpi u shan wa a na bi du ba tsoro ba na.

12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!”

Iri ni mi ba a hi u toh gyegyere a “tere “keme ni glu ingle bi cei, be memeti.

13 This testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

Itere a njanji mlati ni bawu ni gbegble wa ba gburu ni mi njaji.

14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.

Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.

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.

Ye ni bi wa ba he tsratsra ko nge ni mba a hi tsratsra. i be wa bana he tsratsra na mba na he tsratsra na da he ni njaji na.

16 They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.

Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
