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,
Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaareynne Xoossaa aylley, Phawuloosi, xaafida dabddaabbiya. Xoossay doorida asaa ammanuwa dichchanaadanne tuma ayyaana de7uwa waanidi daanekko bessiya tumaa eraakko entta kaalethanaw taani kiitettas.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
He ammanoynne eratethay merinaa de7uwa ufayssaa bolla zemppis. Hessa daro wodeppe sinthe worddotonna Xoossay nuus immana gidi qaala gelis. (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:
Nuna ashshiya Xoossay ba woden ha kiitaa odana mela taw hadara immis.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Nu kothe ammanuwan ta tuma na7aa gidida Tito, Xoossaa Aawappenne nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosappe aadho keehatethay, maarotethaynne sarotethay new gido.
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;
Taani nena Qarxeesen aggada yiday, neeni attidabaa giigisanaadanne taani kiittidayssada katamaa ubban woosa keetha cimata doorana melassa.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Cimi borettonnayssa, issi machche azinaa, maara dhayon woykko kiitetetha ixon asi boronna ammaniyaa nayti de7iya asi gidanaw bessees.
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,
Woosa keetha cimi Xoossaa oosuwa hadara ekkida gisho, borettonnayssa, otorttonayssa, elle yilottonnayssa, mathottonayssa, oda medhdhonayssanne bessonna go77as dafettonayssa gidanaw bessees.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Shin imathe mokkeyssa, lo77obaa ubbaa doseyssa, akeekanchcho, xillo, geeshshinne bana haareyssa gidanaw bessees.
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.
Harata suure timirttiyan minthethanawunne he timirttiya ixxeyssata zaaranaw ba tamaarida tuma qaalan minnidi eqqanaw bessees.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Kiitettonayssati, pathonna oda odetteyssati, cimmeyssati ubbaka qaxxaretetha wogaa naagiya daro asati de7oosona.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Entti bessonna ogen miishe demmanaw koyidi, tamaarssanaw bessonnabaa tamaarssishe keetha asaa ubbaa iissiya gisho entta timirttiya teqqanaw bessees.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Entta nabetappe issoy, “Qarxeese asay ubba wode worddo odettoosona; iita do7atanne azalla yarambbata” yaagis.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Ha markkatethay tuma markkatethi. Hessa gisho, enttaw tuma ammanoy daana mela entta hanqetta.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Tuma kiitettonna asaa timirttiyanne Ayhudeta pathonna tossiya si7onna mela entta seera.
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.
Banttaw geeshshi gididayssatas ubbay geeshshi, shin tunatasinne ammanonnaysstas entta qofaynne kahay tunida gisho, enttaw aybikka geeshshi gidenna.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Entti nu Xoossaa eroos goosona, shin bantta oosuwan iya kaddoosona. Entti Xoossan ixettidayssata, kiitettonayssatanne lo77o ooso ubbaas gidonnayssata.
