Titus 1
1 PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;
2 unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
3 and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:
4 To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour.
5 For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee.
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 Him who is without blame, and is the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance.
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 a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains.
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 he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;
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 and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious.
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 who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those 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 those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy 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 One of them, a prophet of their own, hath said, The sons of Kreta are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy bellies.
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 And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the 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 nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate 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 For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted.
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 And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.
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.
