1 Saa nhoma yi fi Onyankopɔn somfo ne Yesu Kristo somafo Paulo nkyɛn. Wɔpaw me na wɔsomaa me se memmɛtrɛw nnipa a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔn no gyidi mu no, na menkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn nokwasɛm a ɛde onyamesuro ba
Poul, the seruaunt of God, and apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the feith of the chosun of God, and bi the knowing of the treuthe, whiche is aftir pitee,
2 wɔ nkwa a enni awiei ho anidaso a Onyankopɔn a onni atoro no hyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ ansa na ɔrefi wiase ase; (aiōnios g166)
in to the hope of euerlastinge lijf, which lijf God that lieth not, bihiyte bifore tymes of the world; (aiōnios g166)
3 na afei ne bere a ɛsɛ mu no, ɔfaa asɛnka a ɔno Nyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Agyenkwa no hyɛ me sɛ menka no so daa no adi.
but he hath schewid in hise tymes his word in preching, that is bitakun to me bi the comaundement of `God oure sauyour,
4 Mekyerɛw me ba Tito wɔ gyidi baako a yɛn nyinaa kura mu no mu: Adom ne asomdwoe a efi Agya Nyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu, yɛn Agyenkwa no nka wo!
to Tite, most dereworthe sone bi the comyn feith, grace and pees of God the fadir, and of Crist Jhesu, oure sauyour.
5 Migyaw wo Kreta sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛtoto nneɛma a aka no pɛpɛɛpɛ na woayi mpanyimfo atuatua asafo a ɛwɔ kurow biara mu no ano.
For cause of this thing Y lefte thee at Crete, that thou amende tho thingis that failen, and ordeyne preestis bi citees, as also Y disposide to thee.
6 Kae mmara a mehyɛ maa wo no. Ɔpanyin yɛ obi a ne ho nni asɛm na ɔwɔ yere baako na ne mma yɛ agyidifo a wɔmmɔ ahohwi bra, na wɔnyɛ asoɔden nso.
If ony man is withoute cryme, an hosebonde of o wijf, and hath feithful sones, not in accusacioun of letcherie, or not suget.
7 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mfomso biara ba ɔpanyin no ho, efisɛ Onyame adwuma hyɛ ne nsa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ahomaso, anaa obi a ne bo nkyɛ fuw anaa ɔkɔwensani anaa basabasayɛfo anaa sikaniberefo.
For it bihoueth a bischop to be without cryme, a dispendour of God, not proud, not wrathful, not drunkelew, not smytere, not coueytouse of foul wynnyng;
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ obi a ɔpɛ ahɔhoyɛ na nʼani gye nea eye ho na nʼadwene mu da hɔ na ɔteɛ na ɔyɛ kronkron na ɔwɔ ahohyɛso.
but holdinge hospitalite, benygne, prudent, sobre, iust,
9 Ɛsɛ sɛ oso asɛm no mu dennen sɛnea wɔkyerɛɛ no no. Sɛ ɛba saa a, obetumi ahyɛ afoforo den wɔ saa nkyerɛkyerɛ pa no mu, na wada wɔn a wɔsɔre tia asɛm no mu no nso mfomso adi.
hooli, contynent, takinge that trewe word, that is aftir doctryn; that he be miyti to amoneste in hoolsum techyng, and to repreue hem that ayenseien.
10 Nnipa pii wɔ hɔ a wɔsɔre tia na wɔnam wɔn nkwaseasɛm so daadaa afoforo; ne titiriw no, wɔn a wofi twetiatwasom no mu.
For ther ben many vnobedient, and veyn spekeris, and disseyueris, moost thei that ben of circumcisyoun,
11 Ɛsɛ sɛ wusiw wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ no ano, efisɛ wɔnam wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ bɔne no so ma ntoto ba mmusua mu, nam so de pɛ sika.
whiche it bihoueth to be repreued; whiche subuerten alle housis, techinge whiche thingis it bihoueth not, for the loue of foul wynnyng.
12 Mpo Kreta adiyifo no mu baako kae se, “Kretafo no yɛ atorofo, mmoa atirimɔdenfo ne akwadwofo adidifo.”
And oon of hem, her propre profete, seide, Men of Crete ben euere more lyeris, yuele beestis, of slowe wombe.
13 Na asɛm a ɔkae no yɛ nokware. Esiane saa nti, ɛsɛ sɛ moka wɔn anim yiye sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobenya gyidi pa,
This witnessyng is trewe. For what cause blame hem sore, that thei be hool in feith,
14 na wɔantena ase amma twetiatwa atosɛm ne ɔhyɛ a efi nnipa a wɔapo nokware no.
not yyuynge tent to fablis of Jewis, and to maundementis of men, that turnen awei hem fro treuthe.
15 Biribiara yɛ kronkron ma wɔn a wɔyɛ kronkron no, nanso biribiara nyɛ kronkron mma wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi na wonni gyidi no, efisɛ wɔn adwene ne wɔn tiboa ho agu fi.
And alle thingis ben clene to clene men; but to vnclene men and to vnfeithful no thing is clene, for the soule and conscience of hem ben maad vnclene.
16 Wɔka se wonim Onyankopɔn, nanso wɔn nneyɛe nkyerɛ saa. Wɔyɛ nnipa a obiara tan wɔn, na wɔyɛ asoɔdenfo a wontumi nyɛ ade pa biara.
Thei knoulechen that thei knowen God, but bi dedis thei denyen; whanne thei ben abhominable, and vnbileueful, and repreuable to al good werk.
