< Tito 1 >

1 Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Paulo, motlhanka wa Modimo le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete.
Ko au Paula, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he tui ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni ʻaia ʻoku taau mo e anga fakaʻotua;
2 Ke romilwe go lere tumelo kwa go ba Modimo o ba tlhophileng le go ba ruta go itse boammaaruri jwa Modimo, boammaaruri jo bo fetolang matshelo a batho, gore ba nne le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, jo Modimo o ba bo solofeditseng pele ga lefatshe le simologa, mme ga o kake wa bua maaka. (aiōnios g166)
‌ʻI he ʻamanaki lelei ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito loi, ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani; (aiōnios g166)
3 Mme jaanong ka nako ya One e ntle, O senotse Mafoko a a Molemo a, mme o bile o ntetlelela go a bolelela mongwe le mongwe. Ka taolo ya Modimo Mmoloki wa rona, ke tlhomilwe go dira tiro e, ya One.
Ka kuo fakahā ʻi hono kuonga totonu ʻa ʻene folofola ʻi he malanga, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate au, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4 Lo ya kwa go: Tito, yo e leng morwaake tota mo ditirong tsa Morena. A Modimo Rara le Keresete Jesu Mmoloki wa rona O go nee masego a One le kagiso ya One.
Ke ʻia Taitusi, ko e foha moʻoni ʻo taau mo e tui ʻatautolu kotoa pē, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau Fakamoʻui.
5 Ke go tlogetse koo mo setlhaketlhakeng sa Kereta gore o dire sengwe le sengwe se se tlhokegang go thusa go nonotsha phuthego nngwe le nngwe ya sone, mme ke ne ka go kopa go tlhoma baruti mo motseng mongwe le mongwe, ba ba tlaa salang morago ditaelo tse ke di go neetseng.
Ko e meʻa ni naʻaku tuku ai koe ʻi Keliti, koeʻuhi ke ke fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻosi, ʻo fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate koe:
6 Banna ba o ba tlhophang, ba tshwanetse ba bo ba itsege ka mekgwa e mentle; mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse a bo a na le mosadi a le mongwe le bana ba bone ba tshwanetse go rata Morena le gone ga ba a tshwanela go itsege ka bosula kgotsa ka go sa reetseng batsadi ba bone.
Kapau ʻoku taʻehala ha tokotaha, koe husepāniti ʻoe fefine pe taha, ʻoku tui ʻene fānau, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokia ʻi ha fakamaveuveu pe ha talangataʻa.
7 Baruti ba, ba tshwanetse ba bo ba le banna ba matshelo a a senang molato gonne ke badiredi ba Modimo. Ba se ka ba nna boikgodiso kgotsa pelo-dikhutshwane; ba se ka ba nna matagwa kgotsa batho ba ba ratang ntwa kgotsa ba ba ratang madi.
He ʻoku totonu ke taʻehalaia ʻae tauhi, ʻo taau mo e tauhi koloa ʻae ʻOtua; ʻo ʻikai fai ki hono loto, pe ʻitangofua, pe tokanga ki he uaine, pe faʻa tā, pe tokanga ki he koloa ʻuli;
8 Ba tshwanetse go itumelela go amogela baeng mo matlung a bone le go rata gotlhe mo go molemo. Ba tshwanetse go nna banna ba ba nang le ditlhaloganyo tse di itekanetseng, ebile ba sa patike. Ba tshwanetse go nna le megopolo e e lekalekanyeng e e phepha.
Kae ʻofa ia ki he fai angalelei, pea ʻofa ki he kakai angalelei, ke ne anga fakapotopoto, mo angatotonu, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angamaau;
9 Go dumela ga bone mo boammaaruring jo ba bo rutilweng go nonofe go bo go nitame, gore ba tle ba kgone go go ruta ba bangwe le go kaela ba ba sa dumalaneng nabo mo ba leng phoso teng.
‌ʻO ne puke ke maʻu ʻae lea moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko hono akonekina, koeʻuhi ke ne faʻa fai ke enginaki mo valoki tonu ʻae kau lea kovi ʻaki ʻae akonaki totonu.
10 Gonne go ba le bantsi ba ba ganang go reetsa; mo go boammaaruri tota mo go ba ba reng Bakeresete botlhe ba tshwanetse go obamela melao ya Sejuta. Mme e ke puo ya boeleele; e foufatsa batho gore ba seka ba amogela boammaaruri,
He ʻoku ai ʻae tokolahi ʻoku angatuʻu, ko e kau launoa mo e kau kākā, pea ʻoku tuʻu muʻa ai ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu:
11 mme selo se, se tshwanetse go fedisiwa. Malwapa otlhe a setse a bile a furaletse tshegofatso ya Modimo. Baruti ba ba ntseng jaana ba ipatlela madi a lona fela.
‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku totonu ke tāpuni honau ngutu; ʻoku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa, ʻo ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ka nau maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻuli.
12 Mongwe wa bone, ebong moporofiti yo o tswang kwa Kereta, o buile jaana kaga bone a re, “Batho ba botlhe ba Kereta ke baaki; ba tshwana le diphologolo tse di ditshwakga, tse di tshelelang dimpa tsa tsone fela.”
Ko honau tokotaha, ko e tangata kikite pe ʻonautolu, naʻe pehē, “ʻOku loi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai Keliti, ko e fanga manu fekai mo kovi, ko e kau faʻa kai fakapikopiko.”
13 Mme mo go boammaaruri. Jalo bua le Bakeresete koo, ka tlhwaafalo e e nang le kutlwelo botlhoko ka fa go tlhokegang ka teng go ba nonotsha mo tumelong,
Ko e fakamoʻoni ni ʻoku moʻoni. Ko ia ke ke valoki māsila ʻakinautolu, ke nau haohaoa ʻi he tui;
14 le go ba kganela go tlhola ba nnetse go reetsa dinaane tsa Bajuta le ditaolo tsa batho ba ba furaletseng boammaaruri.
‌ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa fakaSiu, mo e ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku afe mei he moʻoni.
15 Motho yo o pelo e itshekileng o bona bomolemo le bophepa mo go sengwe le sengwe; mme motho yo pelo ya gagwe e bosula ebile e sa ikanyege o bona bosula mo go sengwe le sengwe, gonne mogopolo wa gagwe o o leswe le pelo ya gagwe e e tsogologelang, di baya dilo tsotlhe tse a di bonang le tse a di utlwang mmala o e seng one.
‌ʻOku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa: ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate kinautolu ʻoku anga ʻuli mo taʻetui; he ko honau loto mo honau ʻatamai kuo ʻuliʻi.
16 Batho ba ba ntseng jalo gantsi ba re ba itse Modimo, mme ka go bona ka fa ba itsayang ka teng, ba lemogwa gore ga ba o itse. Ba bodile ebile ga ba laolesege, ba tlhobosegile mo ba se kakeng ba dira tiro epe e e molemo.
‌ʻOku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngaue ʻoku nau siʻaki ia, ʻoku nau anga fakalielia, mo talangataʻa, pea taʻehafifili lelei ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
