Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:

Kai Pawl, Cathut e a san lah kaawm niteh, Cathut ni a rawi e taminaw e yuemnae hanlah, Jisuh Khrih e guncei lah kaawm e, Cathut koe lah lawkkatang ka kangdoutkhai kung,

2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)

A lai kathout hoeh e Cathut ni, talai a kamtawng hoehnahlan lawk sut a hruek tangcoung e, a yungyoe hringnae hah ngaihawinae, (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

A tue a pha toteh a lawk a pâpho e lahoi, a kamnue sak teh, hote lawk hah maimouh na ka rungngangkung Cathut e kâpoelawk patetlah kai koe patue lah kaawm e ni,

4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Cungtalah hmawng e yuemnae dawkvah, ka capa lah kaawm e Titu nang koe hete ca heh ka thut teh na patawn. Cathut hoi maimouh na ka rungngangkung Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae, a pahrennae hoi lungmawngnae teh nang koevah awm yungyoe lawiseh.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:

Kai ni lawk sut na thui tangcoung e patetlah Krete tuilum vah cum hoeh rae pueng pacum thai nahan, kho tangkuem vah kacuenaw na rawi pouh nahanelah, na hruek e doeh.

6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.

Kacue lah kaawm hane teh, yon toun e kaawm hoeh e tami, yu buet touh dueng ka tawn e tami, a canaw ka yuem e tami, lawk ka ngai hoeh e tami mahoeh.

7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:

Bangkongtetpawiteh, bishop teh Cathut e hno ka kuemkung patetlah tounhoehe, takngainae dawk ka hring hoeh e, a lung kaduem hoeh e, misurtui ka kâso hoeh e, ayâ hoi ka kâhem hoeh e, kaheng lah tangka tawn ka panki hoeh e tami han.

8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:

Imyin ka khenyawn thai e tami, tami kathoungnaw ka lungpataw e, a lungthin ka lan e, tamikalan lah kaawm e, tami kathoung lah kaawm e, ka kâcakuep thai e, tami han.

9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.

Kathounge cangkhainae hoi a cangkhai thai nahan, katang hoeh e cangkhai e naw a pathung thai han, a kamtu tangcoung e yuemkamcue e lawk kacaklah ka kuen e tami han.

10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:

Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk ka ngai hoeh e tami, ayawmyin e lawk ka dei e tami hoi a lai kathoute tami moi ao awh. A lawkpui lah vuensoma e taminaw thung ao awh.

11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

Ahnimae a pahni hah cakuep pouh awh. Ahnimouh teh kaheng lahoi hno tawn hane a panki awh. Cangkhai kawi hoeh e naw hah a cangkhai awh teh, imthung abuemlah lam a phen sak awh.

12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.

Ahnimouh thung e profet buet touh niyah, Kretenaw pueng a laithoe awh, a matheng a paan awh. A kâsokâroum awh teh, a pangakpasa awh ati.

13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Hete lawkpanuesaknae teh a tang tangngak. Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh hah raprap yue loe, yuemnae dawk a thoung awh nahanelah.

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.

Judahnaw e lairuipakong hoi lawkkatang hnamthun takhainaw kâpoelawknaw hah tarawi pouh hanh.

15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

Kathounge naw koe teh bangpueng a thoung. Kathounghoehe naw, ka yuem hoeh e naw koe teh bangpueng hai thoung hoeh. Amamae lungthin hoi, mahoima kâpanuenae lungthin pateng boehai thoung hoeh.

16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.

Cathut ka panue toe ka kâtet awh nakunghai, thaw a tawk awh e lahoi, Cathut a hnoun awh. Panuet ka tho e tami, lawk ka ngai hoeh e tami, kahawi e hno buet touh boehai ka sak panuek hoeh e tami lah ao awh.
