Titus 1
1 From Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, charged to strengthen the faith of God’s Chosen People, and their knowledge of that Truth which makes for godliness
PAVLEC Iaincoaren cerbitzari eta Iesus Christen Apostolu denac, Iaincoaren elegituén fedearen eta pietatearen tenorez den eguiaren araura,
2 and is based on the hope of Immortal Life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began, (aiōnios g166)
Vicitze eternalaren sperançacotzát, cein promettatu vkan baitu Iainco gueçurti eztenac dembora eternalén altzinetic, eta manifestatu bere demboretan: (aiōnios g166)
3 and has revealed at his own time in his Message, with the proclamation of which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour.
Diot bere hitza, Iainco gure Saluadorearen ordenançaren tenorez niri cargutan eman içan çaitadan predicationeaz: Tite neure seme eguiazcoari gure artean commun den fedearen arauez.
4 To Titus, my true Child in our one Faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Saviour, bless you and give you peace.
Gratia dela hirequin misericordia eta baquea Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaun gure Saluadoreaganic.
5 My reason for leaving you in Crete was that you might put in order what had been left unsettled, and appoint Officers of the Church in the various towns, as I myself directed you.
Causa hunegatic vtzi vkan aut Cretan goitico diraden gaucén corrigitzen continua deçançát, eta ordena ditzán hiriz hiri Ancianoac, nic ordenatu drauadan beçala:
6 They are to be men of irreproachable character, who are faithful husbands, whose children are Christians and have never been charged with dissolute conduct or have been unruly.
Baldin cembeit bada irreprehensibleric emazte bakoitz baten senhar, haour fidelac dituelaric, ez dissolutionez accusatuac, edo rangea ecin daitezquenac.
7 For a Presiding-Officer, as God’s steward, ought to be a man of irreproachable character; not self-willed or quick-tempered, nor addicted to drink or to brawling or to questionable money-making.
Ecen Ipizpicuac behar dic içan irreprehensible, Iaincoaren etchearen gobernari anço, eztén porfidioso, ez coleric, ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabazte deshonestaren guthicioso:
8 On the contrary, he should be hospitable, eager for the right, discreet, upright, a man of holy life and capable of self-restraint,
Baina estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, onén onhetsle, çuhur, iusto, saindu, moderatu:
9 who holds doctrine that can be relied on as being in accordance with the accepted Teaching; so that he may be able to encourage others by sound teaching, as well as to refute our opponents.
Instructionearen araura den hitz fidelaren eduquile, doctrina sanoz exhorta-ere ahal deçançát, eta contrastatzen diradenac vençut.
10 There are, indeed, many unruly persons — great talkers who deceive themselves, principally converts from Judaism,
Ecen baduc anhitz rangea ecin daitenic eta vanoqui minçaçaleric, eta adimenduén seduciçaleric, principalqui Circoncisionetic diradenac: hæy ahoa boçatu behar ciayec:
11 whose mouths ought to be stopped; for they upset whole households by teaching what they ought not to teach, merely to make questionable gains.
Hec etcheac ossoqui erautzen citié, behar eztiraden gauçác iracasten dituztela irabazte deshonestaren causaz.
12 It was a Cretan — one of their own teachers — who said: ‘Cretans are always liars, base brutes, and gluttonous idlers’; and his statement is true.
Erran dic hayén arteco cembeitec, hayén propheta propriac, Cretatarrac bethi gueçurti, bestia gaitzac, sabel naguiac.
13 Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the Faith,
Testimoniage haur eguiazcoa duc: causa hunegatic reprehenditzac hec viciqui, fedean sano diradençát:
14 and may pay no attention to Jewish legends, or to the directions of those who turn their backs upon the Truth.
Behatzen eztutelaric Iuduén fabletara, eta eguiatic aldaratzen diraden guiçonén manuetara.
15 Everything is pure to the pure-minded, but to those whose minds are polluted and who are unbelievers nothing is pure. Their minds and consciences are alike polluted.
Gauça guciac chahuendaco chahu dituc baina satsuendaco eta infidelendaco eztuc deus, chahuric, aitzitic dituc satsu hayén adimendua eta conscientiá.
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown him. They are degraded and self-willed; and, as far as anything good is concerned, they are utterly worthless.
Professione eguiten dié Iaincoa eçagutzen dutela, baina obraz vkatzen dié, abominable diradelaric eta desobedient eta obra on orotara reprobatuac.
