Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to 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 hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)

but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment 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.

to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 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 would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed 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.

if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behaviour.

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 the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest 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 given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, 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.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

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 also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially 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.

whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

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 them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and 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. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be 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 attention to Jewish fables 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.

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience 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 that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
