Titus 1
1 Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:
Ri Pablo, patanil rech ri Dios xuqujeꞌ utaqoꞌn ri Jesucristo, sikꞌital apanoq rumal ri kojobꞌal, chaꞌtal rumal ri Dios che ukꞌutik ri qas tzij ri kukꞌutu jas kabꞌan chukꞌaslebꞌexik ri utz laj taq kꞌaslemal.
Ri ukuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx are ri jun alik kꞌaslemal, ri Dios ri man bꞌanal tzij taj ubꞌim loq are kꞌamajaꞌ katikitaj loq ri qꞌij junabꞌ. (aiōnios g166)
3 and hath in his own times manifested his word, by the preaching, with which I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri utzij qas pa ri uqꞌijal rumal ri utaqanik ri Dios qakolonel ri xya chwe chi kintzijoj.
4 to Titus my son in the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Che ri Tito qas nukꞌojol, ri junam qakojobꞌal rukꞌ. Yaꞌtaj toqꞌobꞌ chawe, toqꞌobꞌisan wach xuqujeꞌ ri jaꞌmaril rech ri Dios Tataxel, ri Ajawxel Cristo Jesús qakolonel.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order what remained, and ordain elders in every city as I directed thee:
Xatinya kan pa ri tinimit Creta, rech kasukꞌumaj ri kajawataj ubꞌanik, xuqujeꞌ kaꞌkoj kꞌamal taq bꞌe pa taq ri tinimit, jetaq ri xinbꞌij kan chawe.
6 to wit, if any one be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of debauchery, or unruly.
Rajawaxik chi ri kꞌamal bꞌe man kariqitaj ta etzelal pa ri ukꞌaslemal, xa jun rixoqil, e kojonelabꞌ ri ralkꞌwaꞌl, maj etzelal katataj chike e nimanelabꞌ.
7 For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain:
Ri kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri uchak ri Dios rajawaxik chi man kariqitaj ta etzelal pa ri ukꞌaslemal man kunaꞌ ta nimal, man aninaq taj kayakataj royawal, man kaqꞌabꞌar taj, man tzukul chꞌoꞌj taj, man kajiqꞌjat ta che ri pwaq ri man uchꞌekoj taj.
8 but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Xane rajawaxik kuya kiwa xuqujeꞌ kachoch ri kesolinik, bꞌanal utzilal, kꞌo retaꞌmabꞌal, sukꞌ, tyoxalaj winaq, xuqujeꞌ qas kuchomaj ri kubꞌano.
9 holding fast the faithful word, according as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to instruct in sound doctrine, and to convince gainsayers.
Kꞌolol re ri sukꞌalaj tzij ri kꞌuttal choch, rech kakwinik kuꞌtaqchiꞌj nikꞌaj chik rukꞌ ri utz laj kꞌutuꞌn rech kuꞌchekꞌ ri kekꞌululaꞌnik.
10 For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped:
Rumal cher sibꞌalaj e kꞌi man keniman taj xuqujeꞌ xaq japastaq kakitzijoj, e menkꞌetinelabꞌ, are qas kebꞌanow ri winaq ri kꞌo ketal che ri kityoꞌjal.
11 who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain:
Rajawaxik katzꞌapix ri upakichiꞌ waꞌ we winaq riꞌ, rumal cher tajin keꞌkitukij winaq ri e wokol pa ri kachoch; kakikꞌut jastaq ri man utz ta ukꞌutik chi resaxik pwaq chike ri winaq.
12 as said one of themselves, a prophet of their own, "The Cretans are always liars, mischievous beasts, sluggish gluttons."
Kꞌo jun chike ri e kiqꞌalajisanelabꞌ xubꞌij: Ri winaq ri kel pa ri tinimit Creta e bꞌanal taq tzij wi, itzel taq aꞌwaj, e saqꞌoribꞌ ri xaq kakipaqꞌ kipam.
13 This testimony is true: for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be found in the faith;
Qas tzij kꞌu wi, rumal riꞌ ko chaꞌyajaꞌ, rech kuꞌtzir pa ri kikojobꞌal,
14 not attending to Jewish fables, and the precepts of men who turn away from the truth.
rech man kakikoj ta ri menkꞌetibꞌal ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xuqujeꞌ man kakikoj ta ke ri winaq ri kakiqꞌat kibꞌ che ri qas tzij.
15 To the pure indeed all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience is polluted.
Ronojel jastaq chꞌajchꞌoj chikiwach ri winaq ri e chꞌajchꞌoj, chikiwach kꞌu ri qꞌayinaq taq winaq xuqujeꞌ ri man kekojon taj, maj jun jastaq chꞌajchꞌoj rumal cher ri kakichomaj xuqujeꞌ ri kichomabꞌal qꞌayinaq chik.
16 They profess to know God, but in works deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every thing that is good void of understanding.
Kakibꞌij chi ketaꞌm uwach ri Dios, rukꞌ kꞌu ri kichak kaqꞌalajinik chi man tzij taj ri kakibꞌij e xaꞌwibꞌal, man keniman taj, xa ta ne jun utz laj jastaq kekwin chubꞌanik.
