Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Mini polo, Utienu naaceeno, leni Jesu Kilisti, n suani yua bi dandantieba po. ke ban bandi imoamoani leni mi tegima.
lankuli tie ya miali kan gbeni yaa sugima tanpuuli. Utienu yua kan pua faama n den bili ya ŋoanianu hali mi ciilima. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
O den poogini ke min doagidi O maama u yogunu n den pundi.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
fini tita, n biboadiga, ti kuli dandanlini, Utienu ti Ba, leni Jesu Kilisti ti Candaano ŋanbili leni o yanduama n ya ye leni ŋa.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
n den ŋaaŋa kileta ki boa ŋan ŋanbi yaali n den sieni. nani min den bili ya ŋoabona.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
dogu n kuli ŋan kaani bi gobidikaaba, li kani ya pia yaaba ke bi tendi bi po o siedi ŋamo, ki tie puo yendo Calo, ke bi bila tie yaaba n tiega, yaaba n kaa pia cangidi, kaa tie biyenyieeda.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Li tie tiladi, ke li djandieli gobidikoa n ya pia ya siedo n ŋani, nani Utienu naacemo yeni. wan da ya tie tupaalu, leni mi pafiima daano. yua n ki puuni o yuli li daŋuoli ni. ka tie nibiado, ki da yaa bua ya baali n ki tieegi.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Ama ki gaandi bi niba cangu, ki go tie bi niŋanba danli, yumiinli dano, ki tiega, ki gagidi ki ŋana, ki pia mi dingima,
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
yua n teni o yuli imoamoani maama, yaama ke o den bangima. yeni ke wan fidi ki teni mi bangimoama, ya min nia leni mi bangifaama.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Li tie yene, ke baa bi dandantieba siiga ni, bi nieyieekaaba leni bi maciandanba, leni i boandi danba ŋuana n mubini.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
bi yadi ti diedi, ki tendi ya bangima n ki ŋani, lan ki bi naani n ni ban bangi yaama, ki bua i fee panpaani.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
Bi yaa sawalipuaba n ni yendo den yedi, kileta yaaba tie tuofadanba, muayanbiaditi, tugupialu danba.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
li siedo tie moamoani. fu leni ba, ke ban ba li dandan moanli.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
ke ban da teni bi yula ku maasuagu togida leni binisaaliba balimaama, yama n ki ŋua imoamoani.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Li bonla kuli ŋani yaaba n gagidi ki ŋani po, ama li baa kuli ki ŋani yaaba n juagini leni a pajuaga danba po, bi yanfuoma leni yantiana juagini.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Bi tua ke bi bani Utienu, ama ki nan nia leni O bi tuona n ni, bi tie cangididanba, ni yiekaaba, ki kan fidi ki tieni mo tuonŋanli ba.
