Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,

Bulus Ivre koh Irji u toh du Yesu Almasihu ni chuidi bi Irji ni toh njanjaji.

2 upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, (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 (and He manifested in proper times His word, ) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,

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 — true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

Hi ni Titus Ivren u njanji ni mi kpayemebu isi suron u ndedema u Irji iti Buachi bu Yesu.

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;

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 any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate —

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 it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;

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 a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, 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 — according to the teaching — to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;

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 many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers — especially they 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 mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre'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 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said — 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'

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 which cause convict 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 giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;

Na ka sroun me wo holocholo u Yahudawa ni ibe mba wa mba kwab njaaji Sarah.

15 all things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast [is] nothing pure, but of them defiled [are] even the mind and the conscience;

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 God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.

Koge na he tsratsra na ni tu isroun mba ni i meren mba a hi hlotsu megi.
