Titus 3
1 Remind [the believers] that they should submit to all those who rule them or have authority over them, and that they should obey them. They should be ready to do anything that is helpful.
Assay dere aysizaytas haristanamalane loo7o gidida miish wursi oothanas giga gidanamala asa qofissa.
2 They should never say bad things about anyone, they should not quarrel with people, they should be patient [when others] ([irritate them/do things that they do not like]), [and they should] always treat all people as important.
Qasekka oonikka asa bollla iita hasa7ontamalane loo7o asa gidanamala asa wursos kumetha wozinappe ba ashketeth besanamala wuisa qofissa.
3 [Remind your congregations about these things] because formerly we [believers] ourselves were also foolish, just like [all people who do not believe in Christ are now. We] did not obey ([God]/God’s message). [We let] others deceive us. We (spent all our time doing/continually did) what is evil and could not stop ourselves from doing all the things that our bodies liked [DOU]. We were (envying others/desiring to have what others have). We were causing people to hate us and we were hating one another.
Nukka kasse qofay bayndaytane azazetontayta ne balletizayta duma duma amoninne loo7o dusas ayletethan haretizaytakko. Asarane nurka nu gasanka oyetishe itatethaninne miqaynetethan doos.
4 Even though we were behaving sinfully like this, God our Savior [acted] kindly and lovingly to us [PRS], [and saved us]! He did this, not because we did things that are right, but just because he [wanted to be] merciful to us! He washed [us inwardly and gave] us a new way of living as a result of the Holy Spirit changing us inwardly.
Gido attiin nuna ashida Xoossa kiiyatethinne iza siqqoy qonccida wode nu oothida xiilotethan gidonta dishin iza marotetha daron atidos, izi nuna ashiday nam7antho yeleteth gidida mechaninne Xiillo Ayanan ooraxetethankko.
6 [Because we trusted in] Jesus Christ our Savior, God put the Holy Spirit within us [in order to] wonderfully [change us].
Hesaka Xiillo Ayanay nu bolla nu Gooda Xoossi nuna ashida Yesus Kirstosa bagara keezi darsi gusides.
7 He wanted to erase the record of our sins even though we did not deserve that, and he wanted us to receive all that [God desires] to give us. [These are the things that we] confidently expect to receive when we live [with him] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Hesikka nu iza kiiyatethan xillidi medhiina deyo ufays ooyki layzayta gdanasa. (aiōnios g166)
8 These words that [I] have written are trustworthy. So, I want you to confidently teach the things [that I have written about in this letter] to those who have trusted in God, in order that they will be constantly devoted/attempting to do deeds that are good and helpful for others. Titus 3:8b-11 These [teachings] are beneficial and profitable for [all] people,
Hesikka amanetida qaala. Xoossa amanizayti loo7o oothos bena aathi imanamala hayssa ubbaa ne lo7etha yotanamala ta koyays. Hesikka loo7one ay asika koyizaza.
9 but there are people who foolishly dispute/argue [with you, wanting you to believe] senseless ([myths/stories that came from your ancestors]), stories in which there are (genealogies/lists of your ancestors’ names). They argue and quarrel [with you], ([insisting/telling you]) [that you must obey] the [Jewish] laws. (Stay [completely] away from/Do not talk with) them, because [arguing about such things] is not profitable [for anyone. It is completely] worthless!
Qassekka coo hada palamapenne asay ba qomo qodizazape, lalefenne woga gish dendiza ooshafe ne hakka. Heytanti go7oy baynda pathonta yokko.
10 Those people, [by teaching things that are false], are causing others (to turn away from/to quit believing) the true teachings. You must warn them [that God will judge them if they continue doing that. If they do not stop], warn them one more time. [If they still do not stop], then no [longer] have anything o do with them.
Asa garsan shakoteth medhiza asa isi to nam7u to ne zorin ekonta ixxiko izadera nes ispetethi doppo.
11 You will know [clearly] that such persons have [deliberately] (turned away [from/quit believing and obeying]) [the true teachings]. They know that they are doing what is sinful, [but they deliberately keep on doing it].
Hesa mala asi baletida nagarancha asa izadey berkka ba bolla piirdidaysa ne era.
12 I [expect to] send either Artemas or Tychicus to you. [As soon as one of them arrives], (make every effort/try hard) to come to me [quickly] at Nicopolis [city], because it is there that I have decided to [go and] stay during the stormy/winter [season].
Arxximone woykko Tikiqosa ta neekko kiitikko ne tako Niqqoliyonne yanas nes danda7etizaz ubbaa ootha. Tani halaytha ballgo hen athana gada qachadis.
13 As for Zenas (the lawyer/the expert in the law) and Apollos, [when they are ready to leave Crete Island], help them as much as you can in order that they may have everything [LIT] that [they need as they travel].
Woga eriza Zemasayne Aphillossay biishin istas koshzaz ubbaa kuntha mada.
14 Moreover, our [fellow believers] also should learn (to devote themselves to [doing/] constantly [do]) good deeds [for people] who need help in order that they, our fellow believers, will live very useful [LIT] lives.
Nu bagatas hachis hachis ista koshizaz isti demanamalane ista dethay goo7oy bayndaz gidontamala isti loo7o ootho oothi minanamala tamaranas koshes.
15 [As I finish this letter], everyone who is with me (says that they are thinking affectionately about you/wants me to send greetings to you). Tell those who are [there] who love us and believe [as we do] that we (are thinking affectionately about/greet) them. I pray/desire that our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to act kindly toward all of you.
Tanara dizayti intena saro getes. Amano gedon nuna siiqqizayta wursi saro giite. Xoossa kiyatethi intenara gido.
