Titosas 3
1 Assay dere aysizaytas haristanamalane loo7o gidida miish wursi oothanas giga gidanamala asa qofissa.
REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 Qasekka oonikka asa bollla iita hasa7ontamalane loo7o asa gidanamala asa wursos kumetha wozinappe ba ashketeth besanamala wuisa qofissa.
to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 Nukka kasse qofay bayndaytane azazetontayta ne balletizayta duma duma amoninne loo7o dusas ayletethan haretizaytakko. Asarane nurka nu gasanka oyetishe itatethaninne miqaynetethan doos.
For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 Gido attiin nuna ashida Xoossa kiiyatethinne iza siqqoy qonccida wode nu oothida xiilotethan gidonta dishin iza marotetha daron atidos, izi nuna ashiday nam7antho yeleteth gidida mechaninne Xiillo Ayanan ooraxetethankko.
But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
6 Hesaka Xiillo Ayanay nu bolla nu Gooda Xoossi nuna ashida Yesus Kirstosa bagara keezi darsi gusides.
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Hesikka amanetida qaala. Xoossa amanizayti loo7o oothos bena aathi imanamala hayssa ubbaa ne lo7etha yotanamala ta koyays. Hesikka loo7one ay asika koyizaza.
Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
9 Qassekka coo hada palamapenne asay ba qomo qodizazape, lalefenne woga gish dendiza ooshafe ne hakka. Heytanti go7oy baynda pathonta yokko.
But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Asa garsan shakoteth medhiza asa isi to nam7u to ne zorin ekonta ixxiko izadera nes ispetethi doppo.
An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
11 Hesa mala asi baletida nagarancha asa izadey berkka ba bolla piirdidaysa ne era.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Arxximone woykko Tikiqosa ta neekko kiitikko ne tako Niqqoliyonne yanas nes danda7etizaz ubbaa ootha. Tani halaytha ballgo hen athana gada qachadis.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.
13 Woga eriza Zemasayne Aphillossay biishin istas koshzaz ubbaa kuntha mada.
Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
14 Nu bagatas hachis hachis ista koshizaz isti demanamalane ista dethay goo7oy bayndaz gidontamala isti loo7o ootho oothi minanamala tamaranas koshes.
And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
15 Tanara dizayti intena saro getes. Amano gedon nuna siiqqizayta wursi saro giite. Xoossa kiyatethi intenara gido.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
