Titus 3

1 Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu jamaꞌat ra, fo rena mana parenda ma mana toꞌu koasa ra. Ma ara musi tao tungga atoran ma sadꞌia tao maloleꞌ rakandooꞌ a.

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

2 Afiꞌ rendi-rendiꞌ dedꞌeat fo raꞌamuti-raꞌamuu atahori nara malole nara. Ara o afiꞌ hii rareresi. Malole lenaꞌ rasodꞌa malolole ro basa atahori ra.

to slander no one, and to be peaceable and considerate, always showing gentleness toward everyone.

3 Maꞌahulun, leleꞌ hita nda feꞌe tahine Lamatuaꞌ Yesus sa, nda tahine saa-saa sa boe, ma ata nenetipuꞌ no mudꞌaꞌ. Hita nda nau rena atahori laen sa. Tasodꞌa tunggaꞌ a rala deꞌulaka tara, de taꞌasususaꞌ ao tara no nasabꞌoriꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Hita nda maloleꞌ to atahori sa ma masodꞌa tara sofeꞌ noꞌ a dale-leliꞌ ra. Hiiꞌ a tambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ, ma atahori o rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ ro nggita boe.

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, and enslaved to various lusts and pleasures. Living in wickedness and envy, we were loathsome and hated one another.

4 Onaꞌ mae masodꞌa tara rambalutu ena o, Lamatualain mana fee hita masodꞌaꞌ a, natudꞌu susuen, ma rala malolen neu hita ena.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,

5 Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita, nda huu hita tatao malolen sa, te huu susuen neu hita. Ana nameu sala-kilu tara, nendiꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren, tao nafefeu masodꞌa tara, onaꞌ hita nenebꞌonggi bꞌaliꞌ.

he saved us, not because of any righteous works we had done, but according to his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit.

6 Huu Yesus Kristus mate, fo sala-kilu tara nenefee ambon, ma hambu masodꞌaꞌ boe, naa de Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nema hita nda nemeetu sa.

He richly poured out his Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7 Huu Yesus rala malolen, de Ana tao nalole bꞌaliꞌ hita leleo-lalaon to Lamatualain, onaꞌ amaꞌ no anaꞌ. De ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, dei fo masodꞌa tara nda namaꞌetu no E sa. Naa, dadꞌi hata-heto tara! (aiōnios g166)

so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Au olaꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe taꞌo naa. Saa fo au unoriꞌ ia, naꞌena ngguna fee basa atahori ra. De musi muu huhuar atahori fo ara tungga nenoriꞌ naa ra no tebꞌe-tebꞌe. Basa atahori mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ musi sanggaꞌ dalaꞌ fo taoꞌ a maloleꞌ ra.

This saying is trustworthy. I want yoʋ to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are good and beneficial for people.

9 Afiꞌ sorodꞌodꞌodꞌo mo dedꞌea ombo-koson ra, onaꞌ nereresi dedꞌea nda ma huu-pataꞌ ra sa, Afiꞌ muu mutofa mo atahori, mireresi seka tititi-nonosin manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ, ma mitofa soꞌal hohoro-lalane adat Yahudi ra. Soaꞌ neu saa? Basa naa ra nda raꞌena ngguna saa sa boe. Ngganggariꞌ a fai!

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

10 Muu munori atahori mana hiiꞌ a tao jamaꞌat ra sea-saranggaa. Mete ma ana feꞌe tao taꞌo naa, ai e no dꞌeres. Mete ma ana feꞌe tao seluꞌ taꞌo naa, naa sudꞌi boe rena e fai.

Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning.

11 Atahori mataꞌ naa, dudꞌuꞌan nda ndoo-tetuꞌ sa ena. Tatao-nonoꞌin mana natudꞌu sala nara neu basa atahori.

For yoʋ know that such a person is corrupted and sinful; he is self-condemned.

12 Au ae denu Artemas do Tikikus, neti nandaa no nggo sia pulu Kreta. Mete ma ana losa, na, uma lai-lai mundaa mo au sia kota Nikopolis. Te fai maꞌasufuꞌ ia, au hii ae leo sia naa.

When I send Artemas to yoʋ, or Tychicus, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

13 Muhine mana nahine soꞌal hohoro-lalaneꞌ naran Senas, ma nonoon Apolos, to! Ara rae reu sia mamana dodꞌooꞌ. De tulu-fali mala se fo ara afiꞌ toꞌa-taa saa sia dalaꞌ boe.

Do everything yoʋ can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and make sure they lack nothing.

14 Atahori mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus afiꞌ endoꞌ lipa limaꞌ. Ara musi ranori tao maloleꞌ ma tulu-fali atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra. No taꞌo naa, masodꞌa nara raꞌena ngguna.

Our people must learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

15 Basa hai mana sia ia ra haitua sodꞌa-moleꞌ fee nggo, Titus, ma fe neu hita toronoo mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus boe. Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Baꞌu a naa, Paulus

All who are with me greet yoʋ. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
