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,
Na Bolo, na da Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola Yesu Gelesu Ea asunasi dunu esala. Gode ilegei fi ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou fidima: ne amola dafawane hou amo da ninia olelesu bai gala amoma hiougimusa: , Gode da na ilegei.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
Ninia dafawaneyale dawa: su ea bai da eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu. Ninia osobo bagade da hame dialeawane, hidadea Gode da amo eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu ninima imunu ilegele sia: i. Gode da ogogosu hame dawa: (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:
Gode Ea ilegei eso da doaga: beba: le, E da amo ilegei hou osobo bagade dunuma olelei dagoi. Gode, ninia Gaga: su dunu, da amo sia: olelemusa: , nama ilegei dagoi.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Daidase, na mano! Ani da gilisili Yesu Ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou amo ganodini esala. Na dima meloa dedene iaha. Ada Gode amola Yesu Gelesu ninia Gaga: su dunu, dima hahawane dogolegele iasu amola olofosu dima ima: ne na dawa: lala.
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;
Di da hawa: eno hame hamoi, amo hamomusa: gini amola diasu huluane amo ganodini Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi asigilai dunu ilegemusa: , na da di Galidi ogaga esaloma: ne yolesi. Na hamoma: ne sia: i liligi mae gogolema!
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi asigilai dunu ea hou da ida: iwane fawane ba: mu da defea. E da uda afadafa fawane lai dunu. Ea mano da Yesu Ea hou lalegagui mano da defea. Dunu eno da ea mano nimi bagade amola hame nabasu mano agoane ba: mu da defea hame.
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,
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi asigilai da Gode Ea hawa: hamosu ouligisa. Amaiba: le, wadela: i hou hamedafa hamosu dunu fawane ilegema! Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi asigilai dunu da nimi bagade amola hedolo ougi hou hamedafa dawa: mu. E da feloamusa: adini nasu amola muni hanasu hou hamedafa dawa: beba: le fawane ilegema!
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
E da aowasu hou amola hou ida: iwane hamomusa: bagadewane hanai da defea. E da ea hou amoma ouligisuwane esalumu da defea. E da moloidafa amola hadigidafa hou hamomu da defea.
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.
E da Gode Ea sia: moloidafa sia: amo gasa bagadewane lalegaguli, hamedafa yolesimu da defea. Amai galea, e da sia: dafa olelesea eno dunu ilia dogo denesimu. Amola eno dunu ilia ogogolewane olelesea, e da ili logo hedofamusa: defele esalebe ba: mu. Agoai dunu fawane ilegema!
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Bai dunu bagohame amo da Yu hou yolesili, Yesu Ea hou lalegagui, amo bagohame ilia odoga: le, gagaoui sia: olelebeba: le, eno Gode Ea fi dunuma ogogosa.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Moloidafa Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi asigilai dunu ilia da agoai dunu ilia ogogosu olelesu hedofama: ne defele esala, amo dunu fawane ilegema. Bai ogogosu dunu da muni hanaiba: le, ilia sosogo fi afae afae amoma sema olelesa, amola ilia hou gugunufinisisa.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Galidi ba: la: lusu dawa: su dunu afae, amo ea lafidili hisu sia: i amo, “Galidi dunu huluane da ogogosu dunu esala. Ilia da wadela: i ohe fi agoane. Ilia da higale hamosu udigili ha: i manu uasu dunu agoane.” Amaiba: le, ilia bu noga: iwane dafawaneyale dawa: musa: , ilima ha: giwane gagabole sia: ma!
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Ili da Yu ogogosu sia: amola osobo bagade Godema higa: i dunu ilia sema hamoi, amo huluane yolesima: ne, dia ilima ha: giwane gagabole sia: ma.
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.
Nowa dunu da ledo hamedei gala, amo da liligi huluane ledo hame liligi ba: sa. Be ledo gala amola dafawaneyale hame dawa: su dunu, da liligi huluane ledo hamoi dagoi ba: sa. Bai ilia asigi dawa: su da wadela: lesi dagoiba: le, agoane gala.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Amo dunu ilia da Gode dawa: , ilisu sia: sa. Be wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, ilia Gode hame dawa: , amo ninia ba: sa. Ilia da noga: i hou higasa amola hame nabasu hou hamonana. Ilia hou ida: iwane hamomu defele hame ba: sa.
