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:
li tiline tie Pɔl n tena, wani tie U tienu Tuosɔnlo yen Jesu ŋɔtielo, yaab k U tienu lukdbi. O den lukd minn k n coanbi U tienu dandaanl ni yen k go waanbi mumuni kul tunda yal tie ti dandanlepo.
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
Yen lan fidi bin yaa pia ya mial kaan gbeni. Ya Tienu k puɔ faag den puon ti yal mieli kaan gbel haali yoknu. (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:
O yogn den pudi, Pɔl den waano omaam yen olabaal moni yaal ke o den teni, yeni U tienu yaa palopo yuaan ti Fietua.
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
N fuoda, Tidi n big buaadi kiti ya dendalin: N Jaandi k U tienu t baa yen Yesu Kristu ti Fietua n tena o ŋalebalk yen n yanduam.
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:
N den ŋaaŋaan Kreti dogoon yen lan fidi naan jodi letuol ki guani k bobni dogu kuli jandierin liga jabaa yen min den waan maanma. b
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
L buɔl k ligi yaaba kul lin yaa pia ya yeyienu ŋaan yen waan da tie ncocom. li boal k be yaan firi daan o bilaa po, o bilaa yeyenu lin yaa ŋaan cien k go yaa ŋaam jini bibaa.
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:
L yaapo, li buɔl ki jandiogu ligi yua da pia nangma, kelima o tie U tien deni liga yua. li ya po cedi ko ka tie yoa pia bidi onini ba pibinli, okan ya tie dañulo, likonkonl dano. Ki da pia ya bona k coyeni efe.
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
wan ya tie o cangalo, o ŋanmu yadonl, o baa tie yoa ŋaam maali, k tuoli ŋani, o yeyinnu kaan pia jɔgnd ki go ya tie yoa cɔln oba.
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.
wan ŋami k ya kubi labal ŋamo ya nanani ban den tundo yalaa. Li ya po obaa fidi k ya pagdii olieba nani atud ŋamaa ki yie yala k tie lani.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Kelima bocienli yie ke bi kaan coɔl U tienu mumuni. Bi ŋmand bi nuba yula k baan yaa ŋoa yala tie b ma faagu. Ti la binubanii bocienl ñaani Jufi yaaba ni.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
L buɔli ki nan munni bi ñanaa, kelima bi gulg ti diedi kul k moandi yalan kii bual, kelima bi kpaan ne ligi.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Kreti yaaba den pia yoa k bi den yio sawal pual, O madi; k bi yaa nubaa tie faodanba, Bi tie ya yandi bia, yen ajidiciama yen bi kpaljidaanba.
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Didi mani ya bubud ŋan: L buɔl k yin yaa ŋaanm jalgbi yen ban fid i ki ya pia li dandanl ŋanli.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
ki baan da ŋoan Juifbaa maam yeni ya yikodi ki bi nub biliki fidi ki ŋmagdi binubi yaal tie mumuni.
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.
“yen yaa ba ŋam ŋani O tienu, lekul ŋani” ama ya nuba pia ti jɔkn yen n kan daama. Ba pu k ŋani bi nugani. Bi malma yen bi yan jagli kul jognoo.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
L ya po b mɔdo made k bi ban O tienu, ama bi yeyienu k ta yen O tien maam. Kelima nul ki buabi yen bi kan fedi suan tuol ŋanl ba kul.
