Titosy 3
1 Atorò iareo ty hiambane amo mpifeheo, naho amo bei’eo, tsy hanjehatse, vaho halisa amy ze hene fitoloñan-tsoa,
Put them in mind that to princes and to powers they are to hearken and to be obedient, and to be prepared for every good work.
2 le tsy hañìnje ndra ia’ia, tsy hitrobo, fa ho lèm-po, hiasy ze hene ondaty.
And against no man to rail, nor be contentious, but gentle, and in every thing to show their benignity towards all men.
3 Toe ni-seretse ka tika taolo, nanjehatse, finitake, nondevozen-kadrao naho fañiriañe, nañavelo an-ka-lo-tserehañe naho fihàñañe, nirihy, vaho nifankalaiñe.
For we also were afore-time without understanding, and disobedient and erring, and were subjected to various lusts; and in malice, and in envy we conversed, and were hateful, and also hating one another.
4 Fe niboake ty fatarihan’ Añahare Mpandrombak’ antika naho mpikoko ondatio.
But when appeared the goodness and mercy of Aloha our Saviour,
5 Le rinomba’e, tsy ty amo sata soa nanoen-tika an-kavañonañeo, fa i fiferenaiña’ey, am-pandroañe i fisamaham-baoy naho ami’ty fañavaoa’ i Arofo Masiñey
not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness,
6 ze nadoba’e aman-tikañe añam’ Iesoà Norizañe Mpandrombak’ antikañey,
which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour;
7 le itika nivantañeñe amy hasoa’ey, ro nanoeñe mpandova ty amy fitamàñe o haveloñe nainai’eo. (aiōnios g166)
that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
8 Tsara-to izay, aa ty amy tsaraeñe, le noko te isaontsia’o am-patokisañe, soa te himanea’ o mpiato aman’ Añahareo ty hitomitse, hitoloñe sata soa. Mete izay, toe mahasoa ze hene ondaty.
Faithful is the word; and in this I will that thou also establish them, that they should be careful to perform good works, they who have believed in Aloha. These are good and profitable unto men.
9 Fe iholiaro o ontane gegeo, o toñon-droaeo, o ali-vavao, naho ty sotasota amy Hake, ie hatsivokarañe naho hakoahañe.
But from foolish disputations, and from tales of genealogies, and from contentions, and strifes of the sophree, withdraw; for profit is not in them, and they are vain.
10 Aitò t’indaty mampiriaria ie fa nierete’o in-droe ndra in-draike,
From an heretical man, after one time and twice thou hast admonished him, withdraw;
11 ampahafohino t’ie mengoke naho mpandilatse vaho mamà-batañe.
and know that he who is such is perverse, and sinneth, and condemneth himself.
12 Naho hahitriko mb’ama’o mb’eo t’i Artema ndra i Tikiko le milozoha lia mb’amako e Nikopolia mb’eo, fa sinafiriko ty hitoboke ao te asotry.
When I have sent to thee Artema, or Tykikos, be careful to come to me at Nikopolis; for there I have determined in my mind to winter.
13 Maringata hampionjone’o mb’ eo t’i Zena mpañoke Hake naho i Apolosy soa tsy eo ty ho paiae’iareo.
But concerning Zina the sophra, and Apolo, be careful to provide them well, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Hàmake te hizatse sata soa o mpiaman-tikañeo, hañeneke o raha paiañeo, tsy mone tsy hahavokatse.
And let those also who are of us, learn to perform good works in things which are necessary, that they may not be without fruits.
15 Mañontane azo ze hene amako atoa. Salamao ze mikoko antika amy fatokisañey ao. Hasoa ama’ areo iaby.
All they who are with me ask for thy peace. Ask for the peace of all who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you. Amen.
