Titus 3

1 Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

Han tiadi ba ke ban ya fangi bi bujiaba leni li bali danba kuli ki bogini tuonhanli kuli po,

2 not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.

ki da maadi oba kuli mabiadima, ki ya pia mi yansoangima, utagihamu leni mi dingima bi niba kuli po.

3 For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

Kelima ti moko den kpa tie yanluodanba, niyiekaaba, niyaadikaaba leni li nunponli buoli kuli danba leni mi conconma danba ki fuo li nunponbiadili, ti den tie lan pundi ban nani yaaba ki go nani ti yaba.

4 But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,

Ama utienu ti candaano hanbili leni o buama n den doagidi bi niba kuli po

5 as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,

o den faabi ti ke laa tie ti tuonhama bi ti teginma po. Ama o nihigbadima mi maaliema yaa batisima mi fuoma nni goa pandima po.

6 which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Wan den jiini tipo yaama ti candaano Jesu kilisiti nni.

7 in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes. (aiōnios g166)

Lan ba gaa maama tin ba li moamoansaali kelima li dandanli po, ki tua bi faajieba ki go ba yaa miali n kan gbeni. (aiōnios g166)

8 This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

Laamaama tie mi madugikaama. N bua ke han waani laa bonla kuli, lan baa ga maama ke yaaba n daani U Tienu n bogini ki yaa tuuni a tuonhama kuli. Diidi lani n hani ki go pia mi todima bi niba kuli po.

9 But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

Ama han foagidi leni mi yanluomaama leni yaajanba togida, a koana leni yaa niama n tuugi leni li balimaama kelima li kuli tie fanma.

10 After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;

yaa nilo n fiini mi paadima han tundi o yenma ki pugini mi liema li yaa puoli han paadi leni o

11 for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

ki yaa bani ke laa nilo tieni ti tuonbiadi ki buni ki cuo o yuli.

12 After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

N yaa ti soani apo Atenasa bi Tikika han jaligi ki cua n kani Nikapolisa kelima n jagi ke n baa ye lankane ku fawaagu yogunu.

13 Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

Han bogini Sena li balimaama bangikoa leni Apolosa sancenli ke liba kuli n da poadiba.

14 And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

Kali ti yaaba moko n bangi ki yaa tiendi yaala n hani ke ban fidi ki yaa baadi tipo yaala n tie tiladi, ke ban da tua yaa niba n kaa luoni bonluonkaala.

15 Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.

Yaaba n ye leni nni kuli fuondi a, han fuondi yaaba n bua ti li dandanli nni kuli. Ke li hanbili n yaa ye leni yi kuli.
