< Titus 1 >

1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
Biyi ni ye suron ni drie u kakle wa ice na hei ni mi Irjina wa a hlah ni sen. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
Ni ton kima a tsoro itere ma ni to du ma wa mba ne dume dub mi ti wayi ni tre Irji u kpata chuwo.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
Ni tu kima me kawu do ni karita na kima u ka mla kpie ba ti ni ba wa bana Shuna chu be nikon ni gbu'a wawu'u na de me hla'u'a
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Na ki du nikon du na he idi u memeti na. Lilo du he ni iwa riri da he ni imri be wo tre.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
A naki nikon u tra Irji du hi u ya tra ni ko ito rime du na ti kpi meme na du na he idi u sohda hwa na, u kpa bubu timeme da soh tuma.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Na kima ka he idi u kpa be tsiri ni wo ha. ikpan ikpi dedema naki du he idi. dedema. u mla kpi ti ni klu sisiri Irji ni sonroma da he u vutuma.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
Du he u hla tre wa ba towu do'a da na hla ice ni mina. Nakima a ni ya gron bari da tsro ba dedeme u mla ti.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Naki idi be sehtu ba hay gbugbu be wa ba tre kukklu da ni guru idi ni ce tutu be wa ba tre ade ba ye jia.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
Abi du ba zuba mba bah itere Irji kwansra da ni tsoro mba ikpi u shan wa a na bi du ba tsoro ba na.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
Iri ni mi ba a hi u toh gyegyere a “tere “keme ni glu ingle bi cei, be memeti.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Itere a njanji mlati ni bawu ni gbegble wa ba gburu ni mi njaji.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Ye ni bi wa ba he tsratsra ko nge ni mba a hi tsratsra. i be wa bana he tsratsra na mba na he tsratsra na da he ni njaji na.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
