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:
PAULUS ladun Kot o wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen, duen poson en me pilipildar en Kot akan o duen erpit en melel ong pai ren Kot;
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
O kaporoporeki maur soutuk, me Kot so likam inaukidar mon tapin kaua. (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 ni a ansau a kotin kasansaledar a masan ki padak, me ko ong ia, duen kusoned en Kot atail Saunkamaur.
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Ong Titus nai seri melel ni ata poson ta ieu: Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam o Kristus Iesus atail Saunkamaur en mi re om!
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:
Iet karepen ai kamodang uk edi Kreta, pwe koe en kapwaiada, me kaikenta wiauier o kasapwilada saunkoa kan ni kanim karos, due i kakaliki ong uk.
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
Saunkoa amen en indand mau, o warok en li ta men, o me na seri kan posonla, o so kaindandeki, me re kamom de sopeik.
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:
Pwe pisop en pungla, duen saunkoa en Kot amen, der katiwo, der purianikom, der kamom wain, der pamara, der norok moni.
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
A ren apwali men kairu o pok ong me mau, o kanongama, o pung, o saraui, o makelekel.
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.
Kolekoleta masan, me udan pung o koiok ong padak, pwen kak ong panauiki padak en kamaur o kapung ong me katiwo kan.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Pwe ir me toto me malaun o kapei lokaia o me kaweid sapung, iet eten, kisan men sirkomsais.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Me mau ong au ar en pinapinla, pwe re kin kawukila toun im toto, o me kin padapadaki, me sota mau, pweki moni.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Amen irail, pein arail saukop amen inda: Men Kreta me kalap likam, man sued o laualo, nain manga.
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Kadede pot et me melel. Ari, i me koe en kapung kelail ong irail, pwe ren kelailada ni poson.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
O ren der insenoki en Sus oko ar kasoi mal akan o kusoned en aramas akan, me muei sang melel.
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.
Karos me kon ong makelekel akan, a sota me kon ong me samin o so poson akan, pwe arail lamelame o pil insen arail me samin.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Re kin inda, me re asa Kot, a ni ar wiawia kan re kin ponsasa i. Irail meid sued, o sopeik, o so koiok ong song en wiawia mau karos.
