Titus 1
1 Paul a servant of God an apostle now of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of [the] elect of God and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to godliness
Ma sel Paul, mwet kulansap lun God ac mwet sap lun Jesus Christ. Nga suleyukla ac supweyukla in kasru lulalfongi lun mwet sulosolla lun God, ac kololos nuh ke ma pwaye su lutiyuk in alu lasr uh,
2 in [the] hope of life eternal, which promised who cannot lie God before time eternal. (aiōnios g166)
su oakwuki ke finsrak nu ke moul ma pahtpat. God, su koflana kikiap, El wulema nu sesr moul se inge meet liki na mutaweyen pacl uh, (aiōnios g166)
3 He revealed now [in] seasons [His] own in the word of Him in [the] proclamation with which was entrusted I myself according to [the] commandment of the Savior of us God;
ac ke pacl fal, El akkalemyela ke kas lal. Ma inge ituku nu sik, ac nga sulkakinelik fal nu ke sap lun God, Mwet Lango lasr.
4 To Titus [my] true child according to [our] common faith: Grace (and *N(K)O*) peace from God [the] Father and (Lord *K*) Christ Jesus the Savior of us.
Nga sim nu sum, Titus, wen na pwaye nutik in lulalfongi su kut tukeni ipeis kac. Lungkulang ac misla nu sum sin God Papa, ac Christ Jesus, Mwet Lango lasr.
5 of this Because (I left *N(k)(o)*) you in Crete, so that the [things] lacking you may set in order and may appoint in every town elders as I myself you directed;
Nga tuh likikomi fin acn Crete tuh kom in ku in aksafyela ma su soenna suwosla, ac tuh kom in sulela mwet elder lun church ke kais sie siti. Esam mwe luti luk nu sum inge:
6 if anyone is blameless, of one wife [the] husband, children having believing, not under accusation of debauchery or insubordinate.
sie mwet elder enenu elan mwet wangin mwatal, elan mukul tumun mutan sefanna, tulik natul in mwet lulalfongi ac tia tulik sununta ac seakosten.
7 It behooves for the overseer blameless to be as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick tempered, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,
Ke sripen sie mwet kol lun church el liyaung orekma lun God, enenu in wangin mwatal, elan tia orek lumah ke ma kunal, tia mongsa, tia sie mwet nim mwe sruhi, tia sie mwet lungse anwuk, ku rapkui mani.
8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, [and] disciplined,
Enenu elan kulang nu sin mwet nukewa, ac lungse oru ma wo. Elan leum facl sifacna, suwohs in orekma lal, mutal, ac ku in sifacna kutong lungse lal.
9 holding according to the teaching of [the] faithful word, that able he may be both to encourage with teaching sound and those contradicting [it] to convict.
Enenu elan sruokya ku kas su fal in lulalfongiyuk, ac luti in suwohs oana ma oakwuki tari. Fin ouinge, el ac ku in akkeye mwet ke mwe luti pwaye, ac oayapa aksuwosye tafongla lalos su lain mwe luti inge.
10 There are for many also insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers especially those of (the *no*) circumcision
Tuh oasr mwet puspis, yokna sin mwet Jew su forla ac weang mwet Christian, su utuk nunak ac kiapu mwet uh ke kaskas lusrongten lalos.
11 whom it is necessary to silence; who whole households overthrow teaching things that [they] not ought of shameful gain because.
Enenu in sikulyuki sramsram lalos uh ke sripen elos akfohsye mwet in sou nufon se ke ma su tia fal in lutiyuk, ac elos oru ma inge in eis mani lalos kac.
12 Said one of them own of them a prophet; Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, gluttons lazy.
Sie sin mwet palu lalos sifacna el fahk, “Mwet Crete uh elos kaskas kikiap pacl nukewa. Elos oana kosro lemnak inima uh, ac elos mwet alsrangesr ac kainmongo.”
13 testimony this is true; for which cause do rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,
Kas na pwaye se pa inge. Ouinge kom in arulana kaelos, tuh lulalfongi lalos in suwohs ac pwaye,
14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and to [the] commandments of men turning away from the truth.
ac elos in tia sifil lohang nu ke sramsram lusrongten lun mwet Jew, ku nu ke ma sap ma oakiyuki sin mwet su forla liki ma pwaye.
15 All things [are] (indeed *k*) pure to the pure; to those however defiled and unbelieving no [thing] [is] pure, Instead have been defiled of them both mind and conscience.
Ma nukewa nasnas nu selos su inse nasnas; a wangin ma nasnas nu selos su fohkfok insialos ac elos selulalfongi, tuh akfohkfokyeyukla tari nunak lalos ac insialos.
16 God they profess to know, however by [their] works they deny [Him] detestable being and disobedient and for any work good unfit.
Elos fahk mu elos etu God, a orekma lalos siena liki fahk lalos. Elos mwet srungayuk ac seakosten ac tia fal in oru kutena orekma wo.
