Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Christ Jesus, for the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
li tiline tie Pɔl n tena, wani tie U tienu Tuosɔnlo yen Jesu ŋɔtielo, yaab k U tienu lukdbi. O den lukd minn k n coanbi U tienu dandaanl ni yen k go waanbi mumuni kul tunda yal tie ti dandanlepo.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
Yen lan fidi bin yaa pia ya mial kaan gbeni. Ya Tienu k puɔ faag den puon ti yal mieli kaan gbel haali yoknu. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word through the preaching with which I was intrusted by the commandment of God our Saviour:
O yogn den pudi, Pɔl den waano omaam yen olabaal moni yaal ke o den teni, yeni U tienu yaa palopo yuaan ti Fietua.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
N fuoda, Tidi n big buaadi kiti ya dendalin: N Jaandi k U tienu t baa yen Yesu Kristu ti Fietua n tena o ŋalebalk yen n yanduam.
5 For this cause I left thee behind in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed thee;
N den ŋaaŋaan Kreti dogoon yen lan fidi naan jodi letuol ki guani k bobni dogu kuli jandierin liga jabaa yen min den waan maanma. b
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
L buɔl k ligi yaaba kul lin yaa pia ya yeyienu ŋaan yen waan da tie ncocom. li boal k be yaan firi daan o bilaa po, o bilaa yeyenu lin yaa ŋaan cien k go yaa ŋaam jini bibaa.
7 For a bishop must be without reproach, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,
L yaapo, li buɔl ki jandiogu ligi yua da pia nangma, kelima o tie U tien deni liga yua. li ya po cedi ko ka tie yoa pia bidi onini ba pibinli, okan ya tie dañulo, likonkonl dano. Ki da pia ya bona k coyeni efe.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
wan ya tie o cangalo, o ŋanmu yadonl, o baa tie yoa ŋaam maali, k tuoli ŋani, o yeyinnu kaan pia jɔgnd ki go ya tie yoa cɔln oba.
9 holding fast the sure word according to what he was taught, that he may be able by sound teaching both to exhort, and to refute the gainsayers.
wan ŋami k ya kubi labal ŋamo ya nanani ban den tundo yalaa. Li ya po obaa fidi k ya pagdii olieba nani atud ŋamaa ki yie yala k tie lani.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Kelima bocienli yie ke bi kaan coɔl U tienu mumuni. Bi ŋmand bi nuba yula k baan yaa ŋoa yala tie b ma faagu. Ti la binubanii bocienl ñaani Jufi yaaba ni.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
L buɔli ki nan munni bi ñanaa, kelima bi gulg ti diedi kul k moandi yalan kii bual, kelima bi kpaan ne ligi.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Kreti yaaba den pia yoa k bi den yio sawal pual, O madi; k bi yaa nubaa tie faodanba, Bi tie ya yandi bia, yen ajidiciama yen bi kpaljidaanba.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Didi mani ya bubud ŋan: L buɔl k yin yaa ŋaanm jalgbi yen ban fid i ki ya pia li dandanl ŋanli.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
ki baan da ŋoan Juifbaa maam yeni ya yikodi ki bi nub biliki fidi ki ŋmagdi binubi yaal tie mumuni.
15 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled.
“yen yaa ba ŋam ŋani O tienu, lekul ŋani” ama ya nuba pia ti jɔkn yen n kan daama. Ba pu k ŋani bi nugani. Bi malma yen bi yan jagli kul jognoo.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
L ya po b mɔdo made k bi ban O tienu, ama bi yeyienu k ta yen O tien maam. Kelima nul ki buabi yen bi kan fedi suan tuol ŋanl ba kul.
