< Titus 1 >
1 Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —
2 In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios )
Titus ana malole ngge! Susura ia mia au, Paulus, Lamatualain aten, no Yesus Kristus dedenun. Ana denu au tao manggatetee atahori fo tengga nalaꞌ ra nemehere nara. Ana o denu au utudꞌu dala ndoos, fo rasodꞌa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain atahori nara ramahena rae dei fo rasodꞌa raꞌabꞌue rakandoo ro E. Lamatuaꞌ nda feꞌe naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia sa, te Ana helu memaꞌ nae, dei fo atahori nara rasodꞌa rakandoo ro E. Memaꞌ Ana nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Nandaa no fain ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu relo-relo nae, Eni fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara, fo rasodꞌa rakandoo ro Eni. Basa ma Ana parenda au uu dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Malolen neu basa atahori sia bee-bꞌee. Titus! Ho onaꞌ ana ngga ena, huu ruꞌa nggita tamahere belaꞌ neu Kristus. Dadꞌi au hule-oꞌe neu Ama Lamatualain, no Yesus Kristus mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita, fo ratudꞌu rala malolen nara neu nggo, fo musodꞌa no mole-dꞌame. (aiōnios )
3 but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:
4 Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —
Fai maꞌahulun, au uꞌetuꞌ lao hela nggo sia pulu Kreta, fo tao mulolole dalaꞌ hira feꞌe parlu sia naa. Ma soꞌu atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat sia tungga-tungga kota ra. Afiꞌ liliiꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ fo au ufadꞌe neu nggo soꞌal atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat ra. Ae:
6 If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;
mete ma mae soꞌu atahori dadꞌi mana nuni jamaꞌat, na, masodꞌan afiꞌ hambu sala-kiluꞌ saa-saa boe. Musi nasodꞌa noꞌ a saon esaꞌ a. Ana nara o ramahere neu Yesus Kristus. Afiꞌ losa atahori rae, ana nara hiiꞌ a tao haras, ma bꞌalabꞌan.
7 For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,
Huu mana nuni jamaꞌat ra, ralalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon, dadꞌi ara musi rasodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ ma manara maloleꞌ. Afiꞌ soꞌu atahori mana koaoꞌ; ma nasa nara seli, fo hiiꞌ a nasa-nasaꞌ; mana ninu mafuꞌ; mana matofa-mauꞌ; mana hiiꞌ a dꞌoiꞌ.
8 But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,
Atahori mana nuni jamaꞌat ra musi hii simbo atahori sia ume nara no lima ruaꞌ. Ara musi hiiꞌ a maloleꞌ; musi mana matu-matuꞌ, tunggaꞌ a ndoon, rala meumareꞌ, ma mana maꞌatataaꞌ rala ao nara.
9 Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.
Ara musi toꞌu rahereꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, fo feꞌesaꞌan hita tanori neu se ena. No naa, ara ratudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dala ndoo-tetun neu atahori, ma tao ratetu nenoriꞌ fo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —
Huu atahori hetar hiiꞌ a labꞌan nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a, dadꞌi dedꞌea-oꞌola nara nda raꞌena huu-pataꞌ sa, ma hiiꞌ a pepeko-lelekoꞌ. Lelenan te atahori Yahudi mana rae basa atahori mana nau hambu masodꞌaꞌ musi sunat.
11 Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.
No sira nenori nda matetun sa, lea rala bobꞌonggiꞌ ruma raꞌadꞌooꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ nenori ndoo-tetun. Ara sangga doiꞌ noꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ nara! Ai atahori mataꞌ naa ra, fo ara sudꞌi ranori rakandoo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
12 Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:
Lao esa, mana mahine dui fini nara esa mia pulu Kreta dui soꞌal eni atahori nara nae, “Atahori Kreta ra hiiꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ, mana nasuu-naseti, banda nda mana nahine hadꞌa-dꞌalaꞌ sa, ma mbembera nara seli!”
13 This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,
Memaꞌ atahori naa ra onaꞌ naa! De musi muu mo baliꞌ atahori mana nenelaka-heseꞌ ra, fo tao manggatee baliꞌ nemehere nara neu Lamatuaꞌ.
14 Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:
Fo ara sudꞌi boe rena atahori Yahudi ra dudꞌui lasiꞌ nara, ma musi raloeꞌ tungga parendaꞌ mia atahori nda mana simbo nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
15 All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;
Musunedꞌa malolole! Soaꞌ neu atahori rala meumareꞌ, basaꞌ e meumareꞌ. Te soaꞌ neu atahori rala deꞌulakaꞌ, ma nda ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ sa, nda hambu dꞌala meumareꞌ esa sa boe. Huu rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara memaꞌ deꞌulaka ena.
16 God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
Ara rataa rae sira rahine Lamatualain. Te masodꞌa nara, onaꞌ nda rahine E sa. Ara ola laen, te tao laen. Memaꞌ atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Ara nda nau tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae atahori mataꞌ naa ra tao maloleꞌ.
