Tito 3
1 Asay deriya haareyssatas, aawatethay de7eyssatas haarettanaw, kiitettanawunne lo77o ooso ubbaa oothanaw giigettidayssata gidana mela akeekisa.
Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 Qassi entti oode bollaka iita odettonna mela, saro asi gidana mela, ashkketanne asa ubbaas qadhetteyssata gidana mela zora.
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
3 Nuuni kase eeyata, kiitettonayssata, balettidayssata, dumma dumma asho ufayssasinne amos ayllettidayssata. Nuuni iitatethaninne qanaaten kumidayssata; nu ase ixxeyssata, asikka nuna ixxeyssata.
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Shin ashshiya Xoossaa keehatethaynne siiqoy qonccida wode,
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,
5 nu oothida xillo oosuwa gisho gidonnashin, ba maarotethaa gisho nuna ashshis. Nuna I ashshiday, nam77antho yeletethaa meechchaninne Geeshsha Ayyaana baggara immida ooratha de7uwana.
not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing by the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
6 He Ayyaana, Xoossay nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara nu bolla darssidi gussis.
whom he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua the Messiah our Savior;
7 Ba aadho keehatethaa baggara nuna xillisidi merinaa de7uwa laata ufayssaa oykkana mela hessa oothis. (aiōnios g166)
that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Ha qaalay ammanettida qaala. Xoossaa ammaneyssati lo77o ooso oothanaw giigidayssata gidana mela ne ha qaala miinthada odana mela ta koyays. Hayssati ase ubbaas lo77onne go77eyssata.
This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;
9 Shin eeyatetha palamappe, kochcha tayboppe, kachchafenne higge gaason denddiya ooshshaafe naagetta. Hessi go77inne wodhey baynnabaa.
but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Shaahotethi medhdhiya uraa koyro zora; nam77antho hanqetta hessafe guye iyappe haakka.
Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;
11 Hessa mela asi geellanne nagaranchcho; I ba bolla pirddeyssa era.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 Taani balggo yan shaaccanaw qoppida gisho, Arxemaasa woykko Tikiqoosa neekko kiittiya wode ne taakko Niqophiliyoona yaanaw minna.
When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Higge eriya Zemaasinne Aphiloosi oge biya wode enttaw koshshiyabay pacconna mela entta maadda.
Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14 Nu asaykka pathonna asi gididi attonna mela banttaw koshshiyabaa demmanaw lo77o ooso minnidi ooso tamaaro.
Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Taara de7iya ubbay nena saro goosona; ammanon nuna siiqiya asaa saro ga. Xoossaa aadho keehatethay hintte ubbaara gido. Amin7i.
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
