Titosas 3
1 Assay dere aysizaytas haristanamalane loo7o gidida miish wursi oothanas giga gidanamala asa qofissa.
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,
2 Qasekka oonikka asa bollla iita hasa7ontamalane loo7o asa gidanamala asa wursos kumetha wozinappe ba ashketeth besanamala wuisa qofissa.
not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards 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 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.
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 when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,
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,
6 Hesaka Xiillo Ayanay nu bolla nu Gooda Xoossi nuna ashida Yesus Kirstosa bagara keezi darsi gusides.
which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
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)
8 Hesikka amanetida qaala. Xoossa amanizayti loo7o oothos bena aathi imanamala hayssa ubbaa ne lo7etha yotanamala ta koyays. Hesikka loo7one ay asika koyizaza.
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.
9 Qassekka coo hada palamapenne asay ba qomo qodizazape, lalefenne woga gish dendiza ooshafe ne hakka. Heytanti go7oy baynda pathonta yokko.
But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.
10 Asa garsan shakoteth medhiza asa isi to nam7u to ne zorin ekonta ixxiko izadera nes ispetethi doppo.
After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;
11 Hesa mala asi baletida nagarancha asa izadey berkka ba bolla piirdidaysa ne era.
for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.
12 Arxximone woykko Tikiqosa ta neekko kiitikko ne tako Niqqoliyonne yanas nes danda7etizaz ubbaa ootha. Tani halaytha ballgo hen athana gada qachadis.
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.
13 Woga eriza Zemasayne Aphillossay biishin istas koshzaz ubbaa kuntha mada.
Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.
14 Nu bagatas hachis hachis ista koshizaz isti demanamalane ista dethay goo7oy bayndaz gidontamala isti loo7o ootho oothi minanamala tamaranas koshes.
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.
15 Tanara dizayti intena saro getes. Amano gedon nuna siiqqizayta wursi saro giite. Xoossa kiyatethi intenara gido.
Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.
