Titori 1

1 PAVLEC Iaincoaren cerbitzari eta Iesus Christen Apostolu denac, Iaincoaren elegituén fedearen eta pietatearen tenorez den eguiaren araura,

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 Vicitze eternalaren sperançacotzát, cein promettatu vkan baitu Iainco gueçurti eztenac dembora eternalén altzinetic, eta manifestatu bere demboretan: (aiōnios g166)

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

3 Diot bere hitza, Iainco gure Saluadorearen ordenançaren tenorez niri cargutan eman içan çaitadan predicationeaz: Tite neure seme eguiazcoari gure artean commun den fedearen arauez.

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

4 Gratia dela hirequin misericordia eta baquea Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaun gure Saluadoreaganic.

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

5 Causa hunegatic vtzi vkan aut Cretan goitico diraden gaucén corrigitzen continua deçançát, eta ordena ditzán hiriz hiri Ancianoac, nic ordenatu drauadan beçala:

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 Baldin cembeit bada irreprehensibleric emazte bakoitz baten senhar, haour fidelac dituelaric, ez dissolutionez accusatuac, edo rangea ecin daitezquenac.

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

7 Ecen Ipizpicuac behar dic içan irreprehensible, Iaincoaren etchearen gobernari anço, eztén porfidioso, ez coleric, ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabazte deshonestaren guthicioso:

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 Baina estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, onén onhetsle, çuhur, iusto, saindu, moderatu:

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

9 Instructionearen araura den hitz fidelaren eduquile, doctrina sanoz exhorta-ere ahal deçançát, eta contrastatzen diradenac vençut.

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 Ecen baduc anhitz rangea ecin daitenic eta vanoqui minçaçaleric, eta adimenduén seduciçaleric, principalqui Circoncisionetic diradenac: hæy ahoa boçatu behar ciayec:

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

11 Hec etcheac ossoqui erautzen citié, behar eztiraden gauçác iracasten dituztela irabazte deshonestaren causaz.

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

12 Erran dic hayén arteco cembeitec, hayén propheta propriac, Cretatarrac bethi gueçurti, bestia gaitzac, sabel naguiac.

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 Testimoniage haur eguiazcoa duc: causa hunegatic reprehenditzac hec viciqui, fedean sano diradençát:

This testimony is true. So rebuke them sharply,

14 Behatzen eztutelaric Iuduén fabletara, eta eguiatic aldaratzen diraden guiçonén manuetara.

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 Gauça guciac chahuendaco chahu dituc baina satsuendaco eta infidelendaco eztuc deus, chahuric, aitzitic dituc satsu hayén adimendua eta conscientiá.

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 Professione eguiten dié Iaincoa eçagutzen dutela, baina obraz vkatzen dié, abominable diradelaric eta desobedient eta obra on orotara reprobatuac.

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.
