Tito 3
1 E PAIPAI aku ia lakou e hoolohe i na moi a me na'lii, a e malama hoi i na luna, a e noho makaukau i na hana maikai a pau;
Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,
2 Aole e olelo ino hoi ia hai, e hakaka ole, e akakuu, e hoike ana i ke akahai i na kanaka a pau.
not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.
3 No ka mea, o kakou kekahi i naaupo i kekahi manawa, i hookuli hoi, i auwana hoi, e hookauwa ana mamuli o kela kuko a o keia kuko, o kela lealea a o keia lealea, e noho ana me ka huhu, a me ka huwa, i hoowahawahaia, a e hoowahawaha ana kekahi i kekahi.
For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
4 Aka, i ka ikea ana mai o ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha mai o ko kakou Ola, o ke Akua, i kanaka,
But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,
5 Aole no na hana pono a kakou i hana'i, aka, ma kona aloha wale, ua hoola oia ia kakou, ma ka holoi hoohanau hou ana, a ma ka hana hou ia e ka Uhane Hemolele,
as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,
6 Ana i ninini nui mai ai maluna iho o kakou, ma o Iesu Kristo la o ko kakou Ola;
which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 I lilo kakou, i ko kakou hoaponoia ana ma kona aloha wale mai, i mau hooilina ma ka manaolana o ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes. (aiōnios g166)
8 He olelo oiaio ia, a o keia mau mea ka'u e makemake nei ia oe e hooiaio mau aku i malama ka poe i manaoio i ke Akua e hoomau lakou ma na hana maikai He maikai, he pono hoi keia mau mea no na kanaka.
This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.
9 E ku mamao aku oe i na ninau lapuwale, a mo na kuauhau, a me na hoopaapaa, a me ka hakaka ana no ke kanawai; no ka mea, he mau mea lapuwale ia e pono ole ai.
But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.
10 O ke kanaka e ao kuee ana, o kau ia e hoonoho aku iwaho, mahope iho o ka mua a me ka lua o ke ao pono ana aku ia ia:
After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;
11 Me ka ike hoi, ua hookahuliia oia, a ua hana hewa hoi, a ua hoa hewa hoi ia ia iho.
for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.
12 Aia hoouna aku au ia Aretema paha, ia Tukiko paha ion la, e hoo ikaika oe e hele mai io'u nei i Ni kopoli; no ka mea, o ko'u manao e noho malaila i ka hooilo.
After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.
13 E kokua maikai oe ia Zena i ke kakaolelo, a me Apolo, i ko laua holo ana mai, i hemahema ole laua.
Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.
14 E aho hoi e ao ko kakou poe e hana mau i na hana maikai, i na mea e pono ai, i lilo ole lakou i mea hua ole.
And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.
15 Ke aloha aku nei ka poe a pau me au nei ia oe. E aloha oe i ka poe i aloha mai ia kakou ma ka manaoio. E alohaia mai oukou a pau loa. Amene.
Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.
