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:
NA Paulo ke kauwa a ke Akua, he lunaolelo hoi na Iesu Kristo ma ka manaoio o ka poe i waeia mai e ke Akua, a ma ka hooiaio ana'ku i ka olelo oiaio mamuli o ka malama i ke Akua;
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
Me ka manaolana i ke ola mau loa a ke Akua hoopunipuni ole i olelo mua mai ai mamua loa aku o keia ao; (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 i kona manawa pono hoi, ua hoike i kana olelo, ma ka haiolelo ana, i kauohaia mai ia'u ma ke kauoha a ko kakou Ola a ke Akua:
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Ia Tito i ke keiki ponoi ma ka manaoio kuikahi; o ke aloha, o ke ahonui a me ka maluhia mai ke Akua ka Makua mai, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo o ko kakou Ola.
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:
Eia ka'u mea i waiho aku ai ia oe ma Kerete, i hooponopono oe i na mea hemahema, a e kukulu hoi i na lunakahiko iloko o na kulanakauhale a pau e like me ka'u i kanoha ai ia oe;
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
Ina i hala ole kekahi, he kane hoi na ka wahine hookahi, he mau keiki manaoio kana, aole i oleloia no ka uhauha, aole hoi he kolohe.
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:
No ka mea, e pono e hala ole ka luna kiai, he puuku la hoi ia no ko Akua; aole hookuli, aole huhu, aole lilo i ka waina, aole mokomoko, aole puui i ka waiwai ino:
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
Aka, he hookipa, he makemake i ka pono, he kuoo, he hoopono, he hemolele, me ka hoomanawanui;
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.
E hoopaa ana i ka olelo oiaio, me ia i aoia'i, i hiki ia ia ma ke ao pono ana'ku ke paipai aku a me ka hoopaa aku i ka poe e hoole mai ana.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
No ka mea, he nui no ka poe hookuli, e olelo lapuwale ana, me ka hoopunipuni, no ke okipoepoe ka nui.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
E pono ke hoopaaia ko lakou mau waha, ko ka poe i hookahuli i ko na hale okoa, me ke ao ana'ku i na mea e pono ole ai ia lakou ke ao, no ka waiwai ino.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
O kekahi o lakou, he kaula no lakou iho no, ka i olelo iho, He hoopunipuni mau ko Kerete, he poe holoholona hihiu hewa opu heha.
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
He oiaio keia hoike ana la; nolaila e papa ikaika aku oe ia lakou, i ku pono lakou ma ka manaoio;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
Aole e malama ana i ko ka Iudaio manao lapuwale, aole hoi i na kauoha a kanaka a ka poe i hookabuli i ka olelo oiaio.
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.
I ka poe maemae, ua maemae na mea a pau; aka, i ka poe haumia a me ka hoomaloka, aohe i mea maemae ia lakou; ua haumia nae ko lakou naau a me ko lakou lunamanao.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Ua hooiaio ko lakou waha i ko lakou ike ana i ke Akua; aka, ma ka hana ana ua hoole lakou, he poe e hoowahawahaia, he hoolohe ole, he ku ole i na hana maikai a pau.
