Titus 3
1 Put them in mind to submit themselves to governments, to authorities, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
E PAIPAI aku ia lakou e hoolohe i na moi a me na'lii, a e malama hoi i na luna, a e noho makaukau i na hana maikai a pau;
2 to speak evil of no one, to be averse to strife, forbearing, showing all meekness to all men.
Aole e olelo ino hoi ia hai, e hakaka ole, e akakuu, e hoike ana i ke akahai i na kanaka a pau.
3 For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, slaves to divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
No ka mea, o kakou kekahi i naaupo i kekahi manawa, i hookuli hoi, i auwana hoi, e hookauwa ana mamuli o kela kuko a o keia kuko, o kela lealea a o keia lealea, e noho ana me ka huhu, a me ka huwa, i hoowahawahaia, a e hoowahawaha ana kekahi i kekahi.
4 But when the kindness and love for men of God our Saviour appeared,
Aka, i ka ikea ana mai o ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha mai o ko kakou Ola, o ke Akua, i kanaka,
5 not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Aole no na hana pono a kakou i hana'i, aka, ma kona aloha wale, ua hoola oia ia kakou, ma ka holoi hoohanau hou ana, a ma ka hana hou ia e ka Uhane Hemolele,
6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
Ana i ninini nui mai ai maluna iho o kakou, ma o Iesu Kristo la o ko kakou Ola;
7 that having been accepted as righteous by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
I lilo kakou, i ko kakou hoaponoia ana ma kona aloha wale mai, i mau hooilina ma ka manaolana o ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
8 True is the saying; and these things I desire that thou affirm earnestly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to practise good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
He olelo oiaio ia, a o keia mau mea ka'u e makemake nei ia oe e hooiaio mau aku i malama ka poe i manaoio i ke Akua e hoomau lakou ma na hana maikai He maikai, he pono hoi keia mau mea no na kanaka.
9 but avoid foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
E ku mamao aku oe i na ninau lapuwale, a mo na kuauhau, a me na hoopaapaa, a me ka hakaka ana no ke kanawai; no ka mea, he mau mea lapuwale ia e pono ole ai.
10 A man that stirs up divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;
O ke kanaka e ao kuee ana, o kau ia e hoonoho aku iwaho, mahope iho o ka mua a me ka lua o ke ao pono ana aku ia ia:
11 knowing that he that is such is utterly perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
Me ka ike hoi, ua hookahuliia oia, a ua hana hewa hoi, a ua hoa hewa hoi ia ia iho.
12 When I shall have sent Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for there I have determined to pass the winter.
Aia hoouna aku au ia Aretema paha, ia Tukiko paha ion la, e hoo ikaika oe e hele mai io'u nei i Ni kopoli; no ka mea, o ko'u manao e noho malaila i ka hooilo.
13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos forward on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.
E kokua maikai oe ia Zena i ke kakaolelo, a me Apolo, i ko laua holo ana mai, i hemahema ole laua.
14 And let those also who belong to us learn to practise good works for the necessary wants that arise, that they may not be unfruitful.
E aho hoi e ao ko kakou poe e hana mau i na hana maikai, i na mea e pono ai, i lilo ole lakou i mea hua ole.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
Ke aloha aku nei ka poe a pau me au nei ia oe. E aloha oe i ka poe i aloha mai ia kakou ma ka manaoio. E alohaia mai oukou a pau loa. Amene.
