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, appointed to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in accordance with godliness,

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 God, who does not lie, promised before time began; (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.

in his own time he revealed his word through the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Savior;

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, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

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.

The reason I left yoʋ in Crete was for yoʋ to put in order what remained to be done and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed yoʋ.

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.

An elder must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who are not rebellious and cannot be accused of debauchery.

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 an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for sordid gain,

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 hospitable, a lover of goodness, sensible, just, holy, and 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.

holding firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others with sound doctrine and refute those who contradict it.

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 rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision faction.

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.

They must be silenced, because they are ruining entire households by teaching what they ought not to teach, for the sake of sordid gain.

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 very own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons.”

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

This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,

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

not paying any attention to Jewish myths or the 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.

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.

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 works they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient, and have proven themselves to be unqualified for any good work.
