Titua 1

1 Ma sel Paul, mwet kulansap lun God ac mwet sap lun Jesus Christ. Nga suleyukla ac supweyukla in kasru lulalfongi lun mwet sulosolla lun God, ac kololos nuh ke ma pwaye su lutiyuk in alu lasr uh,

PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;

2 su oakwuki ke finsrak nu ke moul ma pahtpat. God, su koflana kikiap, El wulema nu sesr moul se inge meet liki na mutaweyen pacl uh, (aiōnios g166)

unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

3 ac ke pacl fal, El akkalemyela ke kas lal. Ma inge ituku nu sik, ac nga sulkakinelik fal nu ke sap lun God, Mwet Lango lasr.

and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:

4 Nga sim nu sum, Titus, wen na pwaye nutik in lulalfongi su kut tukeni ipeis kac. Lungkulang ac misla nu sum sin God Papa, ac Christ Jesus, Mwet Lango lasr.

To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour.

5 Nga tuh likikomi fin acn Crete tuh kom in ku in aksafyela ma su soenna suwosla, ac tuh kom in sulela mwet elder lun church ke kais sie siti. Esam mwe luti luk nu sum inge:

For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee.

6 sie mwet elder enenu elan mwet wangin mwatal, elan mukul tumun mutan sefanna, tulik natul in mwet lulalfongi ac tia tulik sununta ac seakosten.

Him who is without blame, and is the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance.

7 Ke sripen sie mwet kol lun church el liyaung orekma lun God, enenu in wangin mwatal, elan tia orek lumah ke ma kunal, tia mongsa, tia sie mwet nim mwe sruhi, tia sie mwet lungse anwuk, ku rapkui mani.

For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains.

8 Enenu elan kulang nu sin mwet nukewa, ac lungse oru ma wo. Elan leum facl sifacna, suwohs in orekma lal, mutal, ac ku in sifacna kutong lungse lal.

But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;

9 Enenu elan sruokya ku kas su fal in lulalfongiyuk, ac luti in suwohs oana ma oakwuki tari. Fin ouinge, el ac ku in akkeye mwet ke mwe luti pwaye, ac oayapa aksuwosye tafongla lalos su lain mwe luti inge.

and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious.

10 Tuh oasr mwet puspis, yokna sin mwet Jew su forla ac weang mwet Christian, su utuk nunak ac kiapu mwet uh ke kaskas lusrongten lalos.

For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision,

11 Enenu in sikulyuki sramsram lalos uh ke sripen elos akfohsye mwet in sou nufon se ke ma su tia fal in lutiyuk, ac elos oru ma inge in eis mani lalos kac.

those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.

12 Sie sin mwet palu lalos sifacna el fahk, “Mwet Crete uh elos kaskas kikiap pacl nukewa. Elos oana kosro lemnak inima uh, ac elos mwet alsrangesr ac kainmongo.”

One of them, a prophet of their own, hath said, The sons of Kreta are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy bellies.

13 Kas na pwaye se pa inge. Ouinge kom in arulana kaelos, tuh lulalfongi lalos in suwohs ac pwaye,

And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,

14 ac elos in tia sifil lohang nu ke sramsram lusrongten lun mwet Jew, ku nu ke ma sap ma oakiyuki sin mwet su forla liki ma pwaye.

nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate the truth.

15 Ma nukewa nasnas nu selos su inse nasnas; a wangin ma nasnas nu selos su fohkfok insialos ac elos selulalfongi, tuh akfohkfokyeyukla tari nunak lalos ac insialos.

For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted.

16 Elos fahk mu elos etu God, a orekma lalos siena liki fahk lalos. Elos mwet srungayuk ac seakosten ac tia fal in oru kutena orekma wo.

And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.
