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, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;
2 Iza amanoyinne eratethay kaasepe ooykidi wordotonta Goday daro wodeppe kasse ba imida medhina deyo ufaysa malakko. (aiōnios g166)
In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
3 Izi kasse gidamala nuna ashida Xoossa azazon hadara imetida sabakon ba qaala qonccisides.
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment 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, [my] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ 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 cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 Cmatethan doristanayti ista bolla boroy bayndayta, isi machi azinata, nayti amanizaytane waysontayta woykko azazetiza nayta awata gideto.
If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.
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.
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 Hesafe bollara izi imath makiizade loo7o ootho dosizade berka bena hariizade sure as xiilone bes nagetizade gidanas beses.
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Hara asata loo7o timrten miithethzadenne he loo7o timirteza ixizayta hanqanas ba tamaridamala qalan minizade gidanas beses.
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 Waysizaytine dunan xalala balethzayti daroti detes; harapekka heyti qaxaretida Ayhuda asatape ammanida asata bagatakko.
For there are many disorderly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Heytanta co77u histethi beses. Gaasoyka isti besonta oogera bes go7a demanas besonta timrte tamarson keeththa asa wursi moron detes.
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.
12 Ista Nabistappe isadey ista gish hasa7ishe “Qarxesa asay wuriso wode wordanchatane ita do7ota ganjjemane azalata” giides. f/ nabeza sunthi Epimenidese.
One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 He markatethay tumu hessa gish ne ista loo7etha hanqista. Hesikka ista tumma amanoy danamalasa.
This testimony is true: wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Ayhuddata haysu7e woykko tumu yooppe hakida asata azazo isti siyopetto.
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
15 Geshatas mishi wurikka geshsha shin tuatasinne amnontaytas gidikko wurikka tunakko. Harapekka ista qohaaththaaykka wurikka tunides.
To the pure all things [are] pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 Isti bena nu Xoosu eros getes shin ba hanotethan dikokka gidiko kadetes. Isti shunizayta, azazetontaytanne loo7o oothos besontaytakko.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
