Titosas 1
1 Xoossas doretidayta amanoninne tumu ayanan kallethiza tumma eratethan dichanamala Xoossa aylene Yesus Kirstosape kitetida Phawulosape.
Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety,
2 Iza amanoyinne eratethay kaasepe ooykidi wordotonta Goday daro wodeppe kasse ba imida medhina deyo ufaysa malakko. (aiōnios g166)
in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time, (aiōnios g166)
3 Izi kasse gidamala nuna ashida Xoossa azazon hadara imetida sabakon ba qaala qonccisides.
which, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior;
4 Nus kothe gidida tumu amanon ta na Titosas “Xoossa aawape nuna ashida Yesus Kiristossape kiiyatethane sarotethi nes giido.
to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
5 Ta nena qarxxesen agiday burope giigana bessiza daro mishi diza gish ne gigsanamalane ta nena azazidamala katamay dizason wossa keeththa ciimata ne doranasa.
For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you)
6 Cmatethan doristanayti ista bolla boroy bayndayta, isi machi azinata, nayti amanizaytane waysontayta woykko azazetiza nayta awata gideto.
if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination.
7 Wossa keeththa ciimay Xoossas oothana hadara ekidade gididamala iza bolla wothay bayndade gidanas beses. Hesiikka ceqetizade, gutha miishan ylotizadene mathotizade, ushanchanne izas besonta ogera go7a gididaz godi eki bizade gidanas besena.
And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not desiring tainted profit,
8 Hesafe bollara izi imath makiizade loo7o ootho dosizade berka bena hariizade sure as xiilone bes nagetizade gidanas beses.
but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste,
9 Hara asata loo7o timrten miithethzadenne he loo7o timirteza ixizayta hanqanas ba tamaridamala qalan minizade gidanas beses.
embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict.
10 Waysizaytine dunan xalala balethzayti daroti detes; harapekka heyti qaxaretida Ayhuda asatape ammanida asata bagatakko.
For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision.
11 Heytanta co77u histethi beses. Gaasoyka isti besonta oogera bes go7a demanas besonta timrte tamarson keeththa asa wursi moron detes.
These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain.
12 Ista Nabistappe isadey ista gish hasa7ishe “Qarxesa asay wuriso wode wordanchatane ita do7ota ganjjemane azalata” giides. f/ nabeza sunthi Epimenidese.
A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13 He markatethay tumu hessa gish ne ista loo7etha hanqista. Hesikka ista tumma amanoy danamalasa.
This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Ayhuddata haysu7e woykko tumu yooppe hakida asata azazo isti siyopetto.
not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth.
15 Geshatas mishi wurikka geshsha shin tuatasinne amnontaytas gidikko wurikka tunakko. Harapekka ista qohaaththaaykka wurikka tunides.
All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted.
16 Isti bena nu Xoosu eros getes shin ba hanotethan dikokka gidiko kadetes. Isti shunizayta, azazetontaytanne loo7o oothos besontaytakko.
They claim that they know God. But, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work.
