Taitus 1

1 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'zampi nagra Poli'na kina hu'nena, Jisas Kraisi aposol ne'mo'na, Anumzamo huhampri zamante'nea vahe zamentinti zamazeri hanavetisuge'za tamage kemofo antahini nehuza amage'nente'za, Anumzamofo (godly) avu'ava fatgo hu'za hugahaze.

Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

2 Ana nehanagena zamaza hanuge'za Anumzamo'ma manivava asimuku'ma hu'negu tamentinti nehuta avega antesune. Havige osu Anumzamo ama mopa fore osu'negeno, korapa huvempa hunte'neane. (aiōnios g166)

In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true; (aiōnios g166)

3 Hianagi Agrama hunte'nea kna efore higeno, ke'amo eama higeno, mono ke hu'zana nagri hunantege'na, Anumza Tazahu ne'mofo (Savior) kasege'afi nehue.

Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

4 Taitusiga tamage mofavre'nimoka, magoke tamentinti nehu'a ne'mokarega ama avona kre negamue, Arimpa fruzane, asunku'zanena, Anumza Nerfantegati ene, Krais Jisasi tazahuno taguvazi ne'mo'a asunkuzama'aretira karimpa frua kamigahie.

To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 Hagi nagrama Kritima katre'na vu'noana amanahure, kagra inazama vagaore'nesia zana eri fatgo hunka, mono nonte vugota vahera (elda) magoke magoke kumatera nagrama kasamisure antenka zamazeri otitere huo.

I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

6 Hanki mono kva vahe'ma zamazeri otisunka, hazenke'a omane, magoke a' ante'nesia vahe'ma, mofavre zaga'amo zamentinti nehina, ke amage'a nentesageno, mofavre zaga'agu hazenke nehaze huza nosnia vahe azeri otio.

Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

7 E'igu mono kva vahera hazenke'a omneno, na'ankure Anumzamofo eri'zante kegava hugahie. Agra'a avesi'za ovaririno, ame huno rimpa aka oheno, aka tinte negia oneno, ke hakare osuno, havi kanteti feno e'norisia vahe azeri otigahane.

For it is necessary for a Bishop to be a man of virtue, as God's servant; not pushing himself forward, not quickly moved to wrath or blows, not desiring profit for himself;

8 Hu'neanagi vaheku vhaku'ma nehuno, knare'zanku avenesino, agra'a mani'za kegava nehuno, fatgo avu'ava nehuno, mani otage nehuno, ke amage' nenteno,

But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;

9 tamage kema husmi'naza kere amentinti nehuno, agra mago'amokizmia so'e ke nezmasmino, huhaviza hanamokizmi'a zamazeri fatgo nehuno, zamaveri hugahie.

Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

10 Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za vugote'naza vahe kea ha' renezmante'za, rumokizmigu krunage nehu'za rezmatga nehazana Jiu naga'ma vene'ne zamufa taga nehaza naga'ene tragote'naza vahe'mo'za anara nehaze.

For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

11 Zamasminke'za zamagira hamunki'za maniho, na'ankure zamagra maka famo, tramena havi kefinti huzmasmi'za tamage kefintira, zamazeri havi kampi nezmatraze. Zamagra zago erinaku ana nehaze.

By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

12 Mago Kriti ne' amu'no zamifi korapa kasnampa ne' (profet) mani'nea ne'mo, zamagriku amanage hu'ne, Kriti vahe'mo'za maka zupa havigege nehu'za afi' zagagafagna hu'za mani'naze. Feru vahe mani'ne'za, zamagra zamarimpa eri avite zankuke nehaze.

One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

13 Ama kea tamage naneke, hu'negu hampo'na kefinti huge'za, zamentintifina fatgo hu'za mani'ne'za,

This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,

14 Jiu vahe'mokizmi kanihe kere'ene, kase ke zamirera, tamagesa antahiozamiho zamagra tamage kea zamefi humi'za novaririze.

Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

15 Tamage, hakare veamo'za avusesema hu'nenageno'a hakare zamo'a avusese hu'ne. Hianagi zamentinti osu namokizmi'a, mago zamo'a avusese osu'ne. Tamage zamagu zamagesamo ene antahintahi zamimo'a haviza hu'ne.

To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.

16 Zamagra Anumzamofona antahita keta hu'none hu'za zamagitetira nehaze. Hu'nazanagi, mani'zazmifina zamagra zamefi Agrira hunemize. Zamavuzavamo'a kasrigeno, kea amage onte'za, mago knare'za hugara osu'naze.

They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.
