Tit 3
1 Raple yo pou soumèt yo a tout wayòm ak otorite yo, pou yo rete obeyisan, eprè pou tout bon zèv
PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 pou pa di mal de pèsòn, men toujou pezib; janti, e montre tout konsiderasyon pou tout moun.
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 Paske nou menm tou, yon fwa nou te ensanse, dezobeyisan twonpè, esklav a tout kalite move dezi ak plezi, e nou t ap pase lavi nou nan mechanste, lanvi, rayisman, nan rayi youn lòt.
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Men lè bonte a Bondye, Sovè nou an, ak lanmou Li pou tout limanite a te parèt,
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Li te sove nou, pa sou baz a zèv ladwati ke nou fè, men selon mizerikòd Li, pa lavaj a rejenerasyon an, e renouvèlman pa Lespri Sen an,
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 ke Li te vide sou nou an abondans atravè Jésus Kri, Sovè nou an.
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 Konsa nou te vin jistifye pa lagras Li, pou nou ta kapab vin eritye selon esperans a lavi etènèl la. (aiōnios g166)
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Sa se yon pawòl ki fidèl; epi konsènan bagay sa yo, mwen vle ou pale avèk konfyans, pou sila ki te kwè nan Bondye yo, kapab pridan pou angaje yo nan bon zèv. Bagay sa yo bon, e pwofitab pou moun.
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9 Men evite konfli ak jeneyaloji ki ranpli ak foli, avèk diskisyon sou Lalwa yo, paske yo san pwofi, e san valè.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Apre yon premye ak yon dezyèm avètisman rejte yon nonm k ap mete divizyon.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Byen konnen ke yon moun konsa pèvèti. Li nan peche, e ap kondane pwòp tèt li.
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12 Lè mwen voye Artémas oswa Tychique kote ou fè tout efò pou vini kote mwen nan Nicopolis, paske mwen deside pase sezon livè a la.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Byen vit, voye avoka a, Zénas ak Apollos nan wout yo pou yo pa manke anyen.
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14 Moun pa nou yo dwe osi aprann angaje yo nan bon zèv pou satisfè bezwen imedya yo, pou yo pa manke bay fwi.
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15 Tout sila ki avè m yo salye ou. Salye sila ki renmen nou nan lafwa yo. Ke lagras avèk nou tout.
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
