Tiitos 1

1 Anigoo Bawlos ah oo Ilaah addoon u ah, Ciise Masiixna rasuul u ah, siday yihiin iimaanka kuwa Ilaah doortay iyo aqoonta runta oo ah xagga cibaadada,

To Titus, my true son in a common faith, from Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and to the knowledge of the truth which goes with piety;

2 iyagoo rajaynaya nolosha weligeed ah oo Ilaaha aan beenta sheeginu u ballanqaaday waayadii hore hortood, (aiōnios g166)

I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)

3 laakiinse wakhtiyadiisii goonida ahaa uu hadalkiisii ku muujiyey wacdigii laygu ammaaneeyey sida Ilaaha Badbaadiyeheenna ahu u amray,

but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.

4 waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa Tiitos oo ah wiilkayga runta ah xagga iimaanka inaga dhexeeya. Nimco iyo nabadu ha kaaga yimaadeen Ilaaha Aabbaha ah iyo Badbaadiyeheenna Ciise Masiix.

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 Sababtaas daraaddeed ayaan Kereetee kaaga dhex tegey inaad hagaajisid waxyaalaha hadhay iyo inaad waayeello magaalo walba ka dooratid sidaan kuugu amray,

I left you in Crete for this reason, that you might set right the things left unfinished, and appoint presbyters in every city as I had instructed you;

6 hadduu mid waliba yahay nin aan ceeb lahayn, oo naag keliya qaba, oo leh carruur rumaysan, oo aan rabshad iyo caasinimo lagu dacwaynin.

men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.

7 Waayo, hoggaamiyaha kiniisaddu waa inuu ceeb la'aado sida wakiilka Ilaah; oo uusan madax adkaan, oo uusan camal fududaan, oo uusan sakhraan noqon, oo uusan gacan fududaan, oo uusan faa'iidada ceebta ah jeclaan,

For indeed a presiding officer, as God’s steward, ought to be blameless, not self-willed or quick-tempered, not a drunkard or violent, or greedy of filthy lucre;

8 laakiinse waa inuu ahaado mid martida soo dhoweeya, oo wanaag jecel, oo feeyigaan, oo xaq ah, oo quduus ah, oo iscelin kara;

but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled.

9 isagoo xajinaya hadalka aaminka ah oo ah sidii loo baray, inuu awoodo inuu cilmiga runta ah ku waaniyo oo ku canaanto kuwa muranka miidhan ah.

He must hold to the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may be able both to encourage by sound teaching, and to confute our opponents.

10 Waayo, waxaa jira caasiyiin badan, iyo kuwa hadal xun ku hadla, iyo khaa'inno, oo khusuusan waa kuwa gudan.

For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;

11 Kuwaas afkooda waa in la xidho, maxaa yeelay, waa kuwa reero dhan gembiya iyagoo faa'iidada ceebta ah aawadeed u baraya waxyaalo aan waajib ahayn inay baraan.

for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre’s sake, teach what they ought not to teach.

12 Mid iyaga ka mid ahaa oo nebigoodii ahaa ayaa wuxuu yidhi, Reer Kereetee weligood waa beenaalayaal, iyo dugaag xun, iyo kuwo cir weyn oo caajisiin ah.

By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."

13 Markhaatigaasu waa run. Sababtaas aawadeed aad u canaano iyaga inay iimaanka si run ah ugu socdaan

This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,

14 iyagoo aan dhegaysanayn sheekooyinka Yuhuudda iyo amarrada dadka runta ka leexanaya.

so as to make them sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

15 Kuwa daahirka ah wax waluba waa u daahir, laakiin kuwa nijaasaysan oo aan rumaysadka lahayn waxba daahir uma aha, laakiinse kaskooda iyo niyadooduba waa nijaasoobeen.

All things are pure to the pure; but to the contaminated and the faithless nothing is pure, nay, their very minds and consciences are tainted.

16 Waxay afka ka qirtaan inay Ilaah yaqaaniin, laakiin camalladooday isaga kaga hor yimaadaan, iyagoo karaahiyo iyo caasiyiin ah, oo xagga shuqul wanaagsan oo dhan laga nacay.

They profess to know God, but by their deeds they disown him; in that they are detestable, disobedient, and reprobate for good work of any sort.
