Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's chosen people and the knowledge of the truth that agrees with godliness,
An Paulo, ma jatich Nyasaye kendo ma jaote Yesu Kristo ema andikonu baruwani. Nyasaye ne oora mondo ajiw yie mar joma Nyasaye oyiero obed motegno, kendo mondo apuonjgi adiera mamiyo giluoro Nyasaye,
2 with the certain hope of everlasting life that God, who does not lie, promised before all the ages of time. (aiōnios g166)
kuom geno yudo ngima mochwere, mane Nyasaye, ma ok riambi osesingore chon ni nomiwa. (aiōnios g166)
3 At the right time, he revealed his word by the message that he trusted me to deliver. I was to do this by the command of God our savior.
Nyasaye ma Jawarwa ema nohulo wachne malongʼo e ndalo mane en owuon oketo, kendo nogolo chik ni an ema onego miya tich mar lando wachneno.
4 To Titus, a true son in our common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.
Ne Tito, wuoda mar adier kuom yie moriwowa e achiel: Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro kod Kristo Yesu ma Jawarwa obed kodi.
5 For this purpose I left you in Crete, that you might set in order things not yet complete and ordain elders in every city as I directed you.
Gima omiyo ne aweyi Krete ne en ni mondo irie gik moko mane odongʼ kapok atieko, kendo mondo iyier jodong kanisa e dala ka dala, kaka ne achiki ni itim.
6 An elder must be without blame, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who do not have the reputation of being reckless or undisciplined.
Jaduongʼ kanisa nyaka bed ngʼat ma wach moro amora marach onge kuome, kendo ngʼatno man-gi dhako achiel, ngʼat ma nyithinde oyie kendo ma ok nyal kwan kaka nyithindo maricho kendo ma wigi tek.
7 It is necessary for the overseer, as God's household manager, to be blameless. He must not be arrogant, not be easily angered, not addicted to wine, not a brawler, and not a greedy man.
Nikech jatend kanyakla mar jo-Kristo en ngʼat marito tich Nyasaye, omiyo nyaka obed ngʼat ma wach moro amora marach onge kuome. Kik obed ngʼat mamiyo kanyakla mar joma oyie tingʼ mapek. Bende kik obed ngʼat mochayo ji kata ma ja-mirima, kata ngʼat mamer gi kongʼo, kata ngʼat mohero dhawo, kata ngʼat moyudo mwandu e yor mibadhi.
8 Instead, he should be hospitable and a friend of what is good. He must be sensible, righteous, godly, and self-controlled.
To nyaka obed ngʼat mohero rwako welo, mohero gigo mabeyo, ngʼat ma terore mos, ma ja-ratiro, moluoro Nyasaye; kendo mawinjo puonj.
9 He should hold tightly to the trustworthy message that was taught, so that he may be able to encourage others with good teaching and correct those who oppose him.
Nyaka omak motegno puonj migeno, mana kaka osepuonje e kinde motelo, mondo eka ojiw joma moko gi puonj madier kendo okwer joma kwedo puonjno.
10 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.
Nikech nitie ji mangʼeny ma jongʼanyo, ma gin mana jothor wach kendo jowuond ji, to moloyo jogo moter nyangu ma gin jo-Yahudi moyie.
11 It is necessary to stop them. They are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful profit what they should not teach.
Jogi nyaka kwer mondo olingʼ, nikech giketho mier mangʼeny ka gipuonjo gik ma ok owinjore gipuonji; kendo gitimo kamano mana mondo giyudie ohala ma ok nikare.
12 One of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Kata mana janabi moro ma margi owuon osewacho niya, “Jo-Krete riambo kinde duto, gin ondiegi malich ma timbegi richo kendo gin jowuoro ma budho abudha.”
13 This statement is true. Therefore, correct them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,
Wach janabigino en adier. Omiyo kwergi matek mondo eka gibed gi yie mar adier,
14 not paying any attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
kendo mondo kik gichik itgi ni sigendini mag jo-Yahudi kata ni chike mag joma odagi adiera.
15 To those who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and their consciences have been corrupted.
Gik moko duto ler mana ni jomaler, to kuom joma okethore ma ok oyie to onge gima ler. Chutho, pachgi kaachiel gi chunygi monego onyisgi kethogi osetho.
16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for doing any good work.
Giwacho ni gingʼeyo Nyasaye to gikwedo Nyasaye nogo gi timbegi manono. Gin acheje ma wigi tek kendo ok ginyal timo gimoro amora maber.
