Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Ri Pablo, patanil rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ utaqoꞌn ri Jesucristo, sikꞌital apanoq rumal ri kojobꞌal, chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios che ukꞌutik ri qas tzij ri kukꞌutu jas kabꞌan chukꞌaslebꞌexik ri utz laj taq kꞌaslemal.
Ri ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx are ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, ri Dios ri man bꞌanal tzij taj ubꞌim loq are kꞌamajaꞌ katikitaj loq ri qꞌij junabꞌ. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri utzij qas pa ri uqꞌijal rumal ri utaqanik ri Dios qakolonel ri xya chwe chi kintzijoj.
4 to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Che ri Tito qas nukꞌojol, ri junam qakojobꞌal rukꞌ. Yaꞌtaj toqꞌobꞌ chawe, toqꞌobꞌisan wach xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril rech ri Dios Tataxel, ri Ajawxel Cristo Jesús qakolonel.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;
Xatinya kan pa ri tinimit Creta, rech kasukꞌumaj ri kajawataj ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ kaꞌkoj kꞌamal taq bꞌe pa taq ri tinimit, jetaq ri xinbꞌij kan chawe.
6 if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
Rajawaxik chi ri kꞌamal bꞌe man kariqitaj ta etzelal pa ri ukꞌaslemal, xa jun rixoqil, e kojonelabꞌ ri ralkꞌwaꞌl, maj etzelal katataj chike e nimanelabꞌ.
7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not selfwilled, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri uchak ri Dios rajawaxik chi man kariqitaj ta etzelal pa ri ukꞌaslemal man kunaꞌ ta nimal, man aninaq taj kayakataj royawal, man kaqꞌabꞌar taj, man tzukul chꞌoꞌj taj, man kajiqꞌjat ta che ri pwaq ri man uchꞌekoj taj.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, soberminded, just, holy, temperate;
Xane rajawaxik kuya kiwa xuqujeꞌ kachoch ri kesolinik, bꞌanal utzilal, kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal, sukꞌ, tyoxalaj winaq, xuqujeꞌ qas kuchomaj ri kubꞌano.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
Kꞌolol re ri sukꞌalaj tzij ri kꞌuttal choch, rech kakwinik kuꞌtaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj chik rukꞌ ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn rech kuꞌchekꞌ ri kekꞌululaꞌnik.
10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
Rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi man keniman taj xuqujeꞌ xaq japastaq kakitzijoj, e menkꞌetinelabꞌ, are qas kebꞌanow ri winaq ri kꞌo ketal che ri kityoꞌjal.
11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Rajawaxik katzꞌapix ri upakichiꞌ waꞌ we winaq riꞌ, rumal cher tajin keꞌkitukij winaq ri e wokol pa ri kachoch; kakikꞌut jastaq ri man utz ta ukꞌutik chi resaxik pwaq chike ri winaq.
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
Kꞌo jun chike ri e kiqꞌalajisanelabꞌ xubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kel pa ri tinimit Creta e bꞌanal taq tzij wi, itzel taq aꞌwaj, e saqꞌoribꞌ ri xaq kakipaqꞌ kipam.
13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Qas tzij kꞌu wi, rumal riꞌ ko chaꞌyajaꞌ, rech kuꞌtzir pa ri kikojobꞌal,
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
rech man kakikoj ta ri menkꞌetibꞌal ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xuqujeꞌ man kakikoj ta ke ri winaq ri kakiqꞌat kibꞌ che ri qas tzij.
15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Ronojel jastaq chꞌajchꞌoj chikiwach ri winaq ri e chꞌajchꞌoj, chikiwach kꞌu ri qꞌayinaq taq winaq xuqujeꞌ ri man kekojon taj, maj jun jastaq chꞌajchꞌoj rumal cher ri kakichomaj xuqujeꞌ ri kichomabꞌal qꞌayinaq chik.
16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Kakibꞌij chi ketaꞌm uwach ri Dios, rukꞌ kꞌu ri kichak kaqꞌalajinik chi man tzij taj ri kakibꞌij e xaꞌwibꞌal, man keniman taj, xa ta ne jun utz laj jastaq kekwin chubꞌanik.
