< Titus 3 >

1 Remind them to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, to be ready for every good work,
Thlangkhqi ing ukkungkhqi ingkaw anaa ak takungkhqi ak awi ce ngai peek aham, ik-oeih leek sainaak benawh a oepchoeh na ami awm naak thai aham,
2 to revile no one, to not be eager to fight, and to be gentle, showing all humility toward everyone.
thlang ak che na kqawn kaana, a cyp a myih na qoep ang qui cana awm aham, thlang boeih a venawh kawdungnaak tang tang ce dang sak aham kqawn pe.
3 For once we ourselves were thoughtless and disobedient. We were led astray and enslaved by various passions and pleasures. We lived in evil and envy. We were detestable and hated one another.
Ni hu awh ningnih awm thlakqaw, awi amak ngai, hy ngaihnaak soepkep a thainaak a tamnaa na ni awm uhy. yh thainaak, thawlhnaak, thlang a sawhnaak, pynoet ingkaw pynoet sawh qunaak ing ni awm uhy.
4 But when the kindness of God our savior and his love for mankind appeared,
Cehlai ningnih hulkung Khawsa qeennaak ce ang dang law awhtaw,
5 it was not by works of righteousness that we did, but by his mercy that he saved us. He saved us through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
anih ing ningnih ce ni hul khqi hy, dyngnaak ki-oeih ningnih ing ni sai a dawngawh am nawh, amah am qeennaak a dawngawh ni. Thang tlaih silhnaak Ciim Myihla thai saknaak ing ni hul khqi hy,
6 God richly poured the Holy Spirit on us through our Savior Jesus Christ,
Ningmih hulkung Jesu Khrih ak caming haainaak taak kaana nik khan awh Ciim Myihla ce ni hawk sih khqi hy,
7 so that having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs with the certain hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
kumqui hqingnaak ngaih-unaak qoe ce ni pang naak thai aham am qeennaak ing ningnih ce ni dyng sak khqi hy. (aiōnios g166)
8 This message is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to engage themselves in good works. These things are good and useful for everyone.
Vawhkaw awih kqawn ve yp awm hy. Khawsa ak ypnaak thlangkhqi ing ngaihtaaknaak ing them leek ami sainaak aham vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi awh nak tha lo lah. Vawhkaw them ve ak leek ingkaw thlang boeih hawihkhangnaak aham awm hy.
9 But avoid foolish debates and genealogies and strife and conflict about the law. Those things are unprofitable and worthless.
Cehlai cyihnaak amak awm oelh qunaak ing khuilam kqawnnaak awipungnaak anaa awi awh hqo ang hqitnaak ce qee law lah, kawtih vemyihkhqi ve ikaw hawihkhangnaak am awm hy.
10 Reject anyone who is causing divisions among you, after one or two warnings,
Peknaak ak sai thlang ce toelnaak awi kqawn pe, cekcoengawh a hih voeinaak awh toel tlaih bai. Cekcoengawh taw awm taak dym hlah.
11 knowing that such a person has turned from the right way and is sinning and condemns himself.
Cemyih ak thlang cetaw thlak dyng am ingkaw thlak thawlh, amah ingkaw amah thlawlh ak pel qu na awm hy, tice sim kawp ti.
12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry and come to me at Nicopolis, where I have decided to spend the winter.
Nang a venna Artemas am awhtaw Tukhiko ka tyih law awh Nikopoli khaw na law aham hlah lah, chikca khuiawh cawh awm aham cai nyng.
13 Do everything you can to send on their way Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they lack nothing.
Upadi ak sim Zenas ingkaw Apolo ce lam ani law awh avoet a hlauhnaak ama awm naak aham bawm law.
14 Our people must learn to engage themselves in good works that provide for urgent needs, and so not be unfruitful.
Nik thlangkhqi ing ik-oeih leek ami sai thai khui ami sai thainaak aham tha lo law u seh, cawh ni myngawi ngoenaak ce hu kawm u saw ik-oeih sai kaana ama mi awm hly.
15 All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with all of you.
Ka venawh ak awmkhqi boeih ing kut ni tlaih uhy. Cangnaak awh kaimih anik lungnaakkhqi ce kut tlaih law. Am qeennaak nangmih boeih a venawh awm seh.
