Titus 3
1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Kae wo nkurɔfoɔ na wɔmmrɛ wɔn ho ase nhyɛ mpaninnie ne tumi ase na wɔntie wɔn na wɔnsiesie wɔn ho mma nnwuma pa biara.
2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnnka asɛmmɔne mfa obi ho na mmom, wɔnnwo brɛoo na daa wɔnyi ɔdɔ adi nkyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Kane no, na yɛn ankasa yɛyɛ nkwaseafoɔ, asoɔdenfoɔ, ne abɔnefoɔ. Na yɛyɛ akɔnnɔ ne anigyeɛ ahodoɔ nkoa. Yɛsɛee yɛn abrabɔ wɔ bɔne ne anibereɛ ho. Afoforɔ tanee yɛn maa yɛn nso yɛtanee wɔn.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,
Nanso, ɛberɛ a yɛn Agyenkwa Onyankopɔn ayamyɛ ne ne dɔ daa adi no,
5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
ɔgyee yɛn nkwa. Ɛnyɛ nnwuma pa bi a yɛayɛ enti, na mmom, ɔnam nʼahummɔborɔ mu ahohoro yɛn ho, agye yɛn nkwa, ama Honhom Kronkron no awo yɛn foforɔ ama yɛn nkwa foforɔ.
6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
Onyankopɔn nam Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no so ahwie Honhom Kronkron no agu yɛn so
7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nʼadom enti, yɛbɛyɛ daa nkwa no anidasoɔ ho adedifoɔ. (aiōnios g166)
8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;
Yei yɛ nokwasɛm. Mepɛ sɛ woti saa asɛm yi mu yie na ama wɔn a wɔgye Onyankopɔn di no ahunu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn berɛ di dwuma pa. Yeinom nyinaa yɛ, na ɛho wɔ mfasoɔ ma nnipa.
9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Nanso, monnnye nkwasea akyinnyeɛ. Saa ara nso na monnto ana, nkasakasa, nko wɔ mmara so. Ɛho nni mfasoɔ biara.
10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;
Obi a ɔde mpaapaemu ba no, bɔ no kɔkɔ deɛ ɛdi ɛkan ne deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu, na ɛno akyi no, te wo ho firi ne ho.
11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wohunu sɛ obi a ɔte saa no asɛe, na bɔne a ɔyɛ no da adi wɔ ne ho.
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
Sɛ mesoma Artema anaa Tihiko wo nkyɛn a, bɔ mmɔden bra me nkyɛn wɔ Nikopoli, na ɛhɔ na mabɔ me tirim sɛ mɛtena awɔberɛ no.
13 Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
Bɔ mmɔden gya mmaranimfoɔ Sena ne Apolo ɛkwan yie na anhia wɔn hwee.
14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
Ma yɛn nkurɔfoɔ no nsua sɛdeɛ wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ yɛ nnwuma pa de boa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtena ase kwa.
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
Wɔn a wɔne me wɔ ha nyinaa kyeakyea wo. Kyea wɔn a wɔdɔ yɛn wɔ gyidie mu ma yɛn. Adom nka mo nyinaa.
