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 Turbwngjiku lvgabv mvngtin dubv mvlinrelin jito. Pwknvyarnv mvvmanv, kvvlo atuake lokv ngv soogv turnam am ngonua milvpvvkunamv. (aiōnios g166)
I write in hope of life eternal which God who never lies, promised before times eternal, (aiōnios g166)
3 Okv tarwkbak dw loku ninyigv doin lo hv kaatam toku. Sum nga ritoka vla parlwk toku, okv ngooka ngonugv ringnvbaanv Pwknvyarnv gv mingkulo ngo japgo kartoku.
but manifested in his own time; that word of his in proclaiming which I have been entrusted by command of God our Saviour.

Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
5 Nam ngo Kret mooku so doomu gvrinv, ogulvgavbolo vjvgv so risv rijinam mvnwng gv rilakv vnam ridung dunv sum riyapaya dubv okv banggu mvnwng gv gvrja lo rigvdogv nvlo laalwk yadobv mvngla vkvlvgabv so nam doomudunv. Ngoogv minsarpvnam sum mvnggap pvvlaka:
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 Rigvdogv nvgobv ribolo oguguka rimur kaama rungnv gobv rirungdunv; vv nywng akin mvngchik nvgobv rirungtoka, okv vkvgv umvuu ngv mvngjwng nvgobv rirungtoka okv alvmanv yalungyachung amin gvnv gobv rirungmabvka okv tvvma nvgo bvka rirung mabvka.
men who are blameless, the husband of one wife, with believing children who are not accused of riot or insubordination.
7 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv gvrja kudungkua nga rigvdogvnv um kaayadubv klu lokv jilwk dunv, hv rimur nam kaama rungdubv rirungtoka. Hv vdwloka kaimvngsu vmalo biokyibiokcha nvgobv, vmalo tvngkium nvgobv, vmalo tvngngur nvgobv vmalo, morko lvgabv nyilin nvgobv rimare.
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 Hv nyen chigamrainv nvgobv okv ogugonv alvpvdw um paknv gobv rirungtoka. Hv saktv nvbv, alv nvbv, darwk nvbv, okv kachingkamu sunv gobv ritoka.
but he must be hospitable, a lover of the good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled.
9 Hv mvngjwng nyola dubv okv oogv doin nga vngdwngbv gakbwngla ritoka okv vv arinjvnv gaambv ridu. Vbvrila vkvnv lamtv lo jvjvnv tamsarnam lokv hv kvvbia mintvmiru jila dubv okv yvvdw um alvmabv mindudw umka alvmanam am kaadin la kaatam rungtoka.
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 Ogulvgavbolo ho hoka achialvgo, asarjvbv bunugv kvbi nyiposoyo vdwa kupnv okv turmilarmi sinv, judaism lokv aanv vdwv rito.
For there are many individuals who are unruly, empty talkers and deceivers, particularly those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped;
11 Bunugv mindunam sum mintor dukubv rirungdu, ogulvgavbolo bunu rima tvsv yanga rila bunugv tamsarnam lokv vpin dvdv nga mvngru mola riduku, okv hinyinghiru dubv rinam aka morkoain lvgabv bv rinya duku.
for they upset whole households and, for filthy lucre’s sake, teach what they ought not to teach.
12 Vv ninyi atubongv kretan go, bunugv atubogv aralo nyijwk akobv rinvgo, vv soogv jvjvnv gaam sum mindu, “Kretan vdwv rukimvvki la ridu, alvmanv svnwngsvmin bv ridu, okv svpelakre la dvdwkdvyit nvbvka ridu.” So lvgabv no dinchirungbv bunua yamtoka, vkvlvgavbolo bunu gvlo mvngjwng ngv vngdwngnam lvgabv.
By one of their own number, by a prophet of their own, it has been said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,
14 Okv kvvlogv jius vdwgv higuhirak okv nyia gamki lokv aanv oogv jvjv nga laarwk simu manv nyi gobv ridu.
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 Bunu atubongv yvvdw darwk dunv ogumvnwng vka darwk dunv; vbvritola bunu yvvdw alvmadunv okv mvngjwng madunv oguguka vka darwk madunv, ogulvgavbolo bunugv mongramara okv mvngdw nvnv ngv darwk madu.
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 Bunu vdwv mindu bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi chinpvnv vdu, vbvrijvka bunugv gwngdungridung lo rijwkmadu. Bunu kaanwng manamv okv tvvnwng manamv dodu, ogumvnwng alvnvngv ogu vdw um riyin manv ngv.
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.
