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,
Phaawulos isa amantii filatamtoota Waaqaatii fi dhugaa beekuu gara Waaqaaf buluutti nama geessuuf garbicha Waaqaatii fi ergamaa Yesuus Kiristoos taʼe irraa;
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
kunis abdii jireenya bara baraa isa Waaqni hin sobne sun jalqaba addunyaatiin dura waadaa gale irratti kan hundeeffamee dha; (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:
innis yommuu yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼetti karaa lallaba isa ajaja Fayyisaa keenya Waaqaatiin imaanaa natti kennameetiin dubbii isaa ifatti baaseera,
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Gara Tiitoo isa amantii walii wajjin qabnuun ilma koo dhugaa taʼeetti:
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;
Sababiin ani Qareexitti si hambiseef akka ati waan utuu hin xumuramin hafe toora qabsiiftuu fi akkuma ani si ajajettis magaalaawwan hunda keessatti jaarsolii muudduuf ture.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Jaarsi tokko kan mudaa hin qabne, dhirsa niitii tokkittii, kan ijoolleen isaa amananii jireenya gad dhiisiitii fi ajajamuu diduun maqaan isaanii hin badin taʼuu qaba.
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,
Phaaphaasiin tokko sababii hojiin Waaqaa imaanaa isatti kennameef inni nama mudaa hin qabne taʼuu qaba malee kan of tuulu, kan dafee aaru, kan machaaʼu, kan lola jaallatuu fi kan karaa hin malleen buʼaa argachuuf tattaaffatu taʼuu hin qabu.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Qooda kanaa inni nama keessumaa simatu, nama waan gaarii jaallatu, kan of qabu, qajeelaa, qulqulluu fi nama naamusa qabu taʼuu qaba.
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.
Inni akka barsiisa dhugaatiin warra kaan gorsuu, warra barsiisa sanaan morman immoo akka dogoggora isaanii itti himee amansiisuu dandaʼuuf akkuma barsiifametti dubbii amanamaa sana jabeessee qabachuu qaba.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Finciltoonni baayʼeen, warri dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatanii fi gowwoomsitoonni keessumattuu miseensonni garee warra dhagna qabatanii hedduutu jiraatii.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Isaan buʼaa hin malle argachuuf jedhanii waan barsiisuun isaan irra hin jirre barsiisuudhaan waan maatii guutuu diiganiif afaan qabachiifamuu qabu.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Raajota isaanii keessaa tokko, “Warri Qareexi yeroo hunda sobdoota; bineensota hamoo dha; albaadheyyii dhibaaʼoo dha” jedheera.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Dhuga baʼumsi kun dhugaa dha. Kanaafuu akka isaan amantii dhugaa qabaataniif jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Akka isaan mammaaksa Yihuudootaa kan hundee hin qabne yookaan ajaja warra dhugaadhaan mormanii duukaa hin buuneefis jabeessii isaan ifadhu.
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.
Warra qulqullaaʼoof wanni hundinuu qulqulluu dha; warra xuraaʼoo fi warra hin amanneef garuu wanni tokko iyyuu qulqulluu miti. Dhugumaanuu yaadni isaaniitii fi qalbiin isaanii xuraaʼeera.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Isaan nu Waaqa beekna jedhu; hojii isaaniitiin garuu isa ganu. Isaan jibbamoo dha; warra hin ajajamnee fi warra waan gaarii tokko iyyuu hojjechuuf gaʼumsa hin qabnee dha.
