1 Xoossas doretidayta amanoninne tumu ayanan kallethiza tumma eratethan dichanamala Xoossa aylene Yesus Kirstosape kitetida Phawulosape.
This letter comes from Paul, servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I'm sent to build up the trust of God's chosen people and to share the knowledge of the truth that leads to lives lived for God.
2 Iza amanoyinne eratethay kaasepe ooykidi wordotonta Goday daro wodeppe kasse ba imida medhina deyo ufaysa malakko. (aiōnios g166)
This gives them the hope of eternal life that God (who cannot lie) promised ages ago, (aiōnios g166)
3 Izi kasse gidamala nuna ashida Xoossa azazon hadara imetida sabakon ba qaala qonccisides.
but which at the proper time he revealed through his word in the message which I was entrusted to give, following 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.
This letter is sent to Titus, my true son through the trust in God we share in common. May you have grace and peace from God the Father and 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.
The reason I left you in Crete was for you to organize what was still needed and to appoint elders in every town, as I told you.
6 Cmatethan doristanayti ista bolla boroy bayndayta, isi machi azinata, nayti amanizaytane waysontayta woykko azazetiza nayta awata gideto.
An elder must have a good reputation, the husband of one wife, and have children who believe and who are not accused of being wild or disobedient.
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.
As a leader for God, a head elder must have a good reputation and not be arrogant. He should not have a quick temper nor get drunk; he shouldn't be violent or greedy for money.
8 Hesafe bollara izi imath makiizade loo7o ootho dosizade berka bena hariizade sure as xiilone bes nagetizade gidanas beses.
He should be hospitable, someone who loves what's good and does what's right. He should be living a life for God, self-controlled,
9 Hara asata loo7o timrten miithethzadenne he loo7o timirteza ixizayta hanqanas ba tamaridamala qalan minizade gidanas beses.
and must be devoted to the trustworthy message as it's taught. In this way he can encourage others through correct teaching, and be able to convince those who disagree.
10 Waysizaytine dunan xalala balethzayti daroti detes; harapekka heyti qaxaretida Ayhuda asatape ammanida asata bagatakko.
For there are many rebels around who talk a lot of deceptive nonsense, especially from the circumcision group.
11 Heytanta co77u histethi beses. Gaasoyka isti besonta oogera bes go7a demanas besonta timrte tamarson keeththa asa wursi moron detes.
Their talking must stop, these people who throw whole families into turmoil, teaching things that aren't right for the sake of making money.
12 Ista Nabistappe isadey ista gish hasa7ishe “Qarxesa asay wuriso wode wordanchatane ita do7ota ganjjemane azalata” giides. f/ nabeza sunthi Epimenidese.
As someone of their own people, a prophet, has stated, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts who are lazy, greedy people.”
13 He markatethay tumu hessa gish ne ista loo7etha hanqista. Hesikka ista tumma amanoy danamalasa.
This is a true statement! Consequently give them a good telling-off so that they can have a healthy trust in God,
14 Ayhuddata haysu7e woykko tumu yooppe hakida asata azazo isti siyopetto.
not paying attention to Jewish myths and human commandments from those who deviate from the truth.
15 Geshatas mishi wurikka geshsha shin tuatasinne amnontaytas gidikko wurikka tunakko. Harapekka ista qohaaththaaykka wurikka tunides.
To those who have clean minds everything is clean, but to those who are corrupt and refuse to trust in God, nothing is clean—both their minds and their consciences are corrupt.
16 Isti bena nu Xoosu eros getes shin ba hanotethan dikokka gidiko kadetes. Isti shunizayta, azazetontaytanne loo7o oothos besontaytakko.
They claim to know God, but they prove this is false by what they do. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
