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
Arah le ah langla, Rangte laksuh nyia Jisu Kristo Kaamwah Pool jiin nawa. Ngah ah langla Rangte mina danje choi loong ah chosok suh nyia seng thooroom ih baat ha jun ih amiisak lam nah mamet hanpi theng ah nyia siit theng tiit ah nyootsoot suh daapkaat tahang,
2 and is based on the hope of Immortal Life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began, (aiōnios g166)
erah tiit ah seng babah uh lathoon theng roidong asuh laalomli adi roopla. Babah uh eleek tiit labaatte, Rangte ih, seng suh saapoot maang rookliika ngakhodi erah roidong jeng kakham ah hoonta, (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.

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.
Nga sah Taitas suh raanghang, seng ah esiit tuungmaang di roopli. Seng Rangte nyia pangte Kristo Jisu ih an suh minchan nyia semroongroong ah toom koho.
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.
Ngah ih an Kriti ni thiinhaat taha langla, maangthoon mootkaat loong ah phanjangjang angthuk suh nyia samthung rep nah chaas phansiitte loong ah dongsiit suh thiinhaat taha. Ngah ih huk baattaan hala samthun et uh:
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.
mihak phokhoh ah moongtaang muh jaatjaat angtheng; heh minuh ah esiit luulu jaatjaat angtheng; nyia heh sah ah hanpiite angtheng nyia heh reeraang pakna ese, adoleh mih jeng chaatchaat ang arah angtheng.
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.
Chaas mihak phokhoh ah Rangte mootkaatte ang abah heh reeraang adoh moong ataang laje theng. Heh ah laatchaatte mina adoleh ten seek ih khatte mina lajaatjaat angtheng, adoleh kham mokte adoleh changrookte adoleh ngun doh nyamnyookte lajaatjaat angtheng.
8 On the contrary, he should be hospitable, eager for the right, discreet, upright, a man of holy life and capable of self-restraint,
Heh wenwah soksamte nyia mootkaatse suh nookte angtheng. Heh teeteewah jen soksamte, epun mina, esa mina, nyia phanjangjang angtheng.
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.
Heh ih Rangte tiitkhaap ah dangdang ih kapjih marah laalomjih nyia rang banlam tiit di roongroopla rah ah. Emah lam ih ba heh ih mihoh suh jen nyootsoot ah erah dam ih Rangte tiit daante loong asuh neng moongtaang ah mi renbaat korum ah.
10 There are, indeed, many unruly persons — great talkers who deceive themselves, principally converts from Judaism,
Tumeah, amiisak tiit daante nyia lalangka jengkhaap nawa ih mokwaante mina hantek je ah, ehanko ah Jehudi thooroom nawa lekte miloong ah reeraangla.
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.
Erah loong jeng ah tanghaam etjih jaatjaat, tumeah neng eh lanyootjih loong ah nyoot rum ano warep changka ni thungjoong thuk rumha, eno erakri etheng lampo nawa eh ngun akom ah niik et rumha.
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.
Erah tiitbaatte ah Kritiite wasiit neng hah hah nawa khowah angta, heh ih amiisak tiit amet baatta, “Kriti mina loong ah saarookwih eleek tiitbaatte, ethih siiawi likhiik, edem mina nyia pookwok sawok mina loong.” Erah raangtaan ih an ih neng ah dangdang ih kanja rum uh, eno ba neng hanpi ah rongtangtang ang ah
13 Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the Faith,
14 and may pay no attention to Jewish legends, or to the directions of those who turn their backs upon the Truth.
nyia Jehudi loong te awah khiikkhi nyia amiisak tiit thaajuute mina loong jiin nawa ra hala jengdang ah takah kap rumka ang ah.
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.
O mina tenthun mongtham esa ang ah, heh di jaatrep ah esa ang ah; enoothong o mina miittah hoomte adoleh lahanpiite loong raangtaan ih tumjih uh esa tah angka, tumeah nengthung nengtak ni miittah ah ejen dong thuk et rumta.
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.
Rangte ah ejat et hi ih neng tu nawa ih chaang rumha, enoothong neng reeraang nawa ih bah edaan et rumha. Neng ah mih misukte nyia jeng lachaatte mina, tumjih uh ese di tapun rumka.
