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.

To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety;

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)

I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, (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.

but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.

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.

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 left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed 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 who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.

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 indeed a presiding officer, as God’s steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre;

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 he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, 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.

He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.

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 many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;

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.

for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre’s sake, teach what they ought not to teach.

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.

By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."

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

This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,

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

so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

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.

All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted.

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 profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.
