Titus 1
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2 Titus ana malole ngge! Susura ia mia au, Paulus, Lamatualain aten, no Yesus Kristus dedenun. Ana denu au tao manggatetee atahori fo tengga nalaꞌ ra nemehere nara. Ana o denu au utudꞌu dala ndoos, fo rasodꞌa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain atahori nara ramahena rae dei fo rasodꞌa raꞌabꞌue rakandoo ro E. Lamatuaꞌ nda feꞌe naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia sa, te Ana helu memaꞌ nae, dei fo atahori nara rasodꞌa rakandoo ro E. Memaꞌ Ana nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Nandaa no fain ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu relo-relo nae, Eni fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara, fo rasodꞌa rakandoo ro Eni. Basa ma Ana parenda au uu dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Malolen neu basa atahori sia bee-bꞌee. Titus! Ho onaꞌ ana ngga ena, huu ruꞌa nggita tamahere belaꞌ neu Kristus. Dadꞌi au hule-oꞌe neu Ama Lamatualain, no Yesus Kristus mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita, fo ratudꞌu rala malolen nara neu nggo, fo musodꞌa no mole-dꞌame. (aiōnios g166)
in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Savior.
5 Fai maꞌahulun, au uꞌetuꞌ lao hela nggo sia pulu Kreta, fo tao mulolole dalaꞌ hira feꞌe parlu sia naa. Ma soꞌu atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat sia tungga-tungga kota ra. Afiꞌ liliiꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ fo au ufadꞌe neu nggo soꞌal atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat ra. Ae:
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;
6 mete ma mae soꞌu atahori dadꞌi mana nuni jamaꞌat, na, masodꞌan afiꞌ hambu sala-kiluꞌ saa-saa boe. Musi nasodꞌa noꞌ a saon esaꞌ a. Ana nara o ramahere neu Yesus Kristus. Afiꞌ losa atahori rae, ana nara hiiꞌ a tao haras, ma bꞌalabꞌan.
if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 Huu mana nuni jamaꞌat ra, ralalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon, dadꞌi ara musi rasodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ ma manara maloleꞌ. Afiꞌ soꞌu atahori mana koaoꞌ; ma nasa nara seli, fo hiiꞌ a nasa-nasaꞌ; mana ninu mafuꞌ; mana matofa-mauꞌ; mana hiiꞌ a dꞌoiꞌ.
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;
8 Atahori mana nuni jamaꞌat ra musi hii simbo atahori sia ume nara no lima ruaꞌ. Ara musi hiiꞌ a maloleꞌ; musi mana matu-matuꞌ, tunggaꞌ a ndoon, rala meumareꞌ, ma mana maꞌatataaꞌ rala ao nara.
but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
9 Ara musi toꞌu rahereꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, fo feꞌesaꞌan hita tanori neu se ena. No naa, ara ratudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dala ndoo-tetun neu atahori, ma tao ratetu nenoriꞌ fo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
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.
10 Huu atahori hetar hiiꞌ a labꞌan nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a, dadꞌi dedꞌea-oꞌola nara nda raꞌena huu-pataꞌ sa, ma hiiꞌ a pepeko-lelekoꞌ. Lelenan te atahori Yahudi mana rae basa atahori mana nau hambu masodꞌaꞌ musi sunat.
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 No sira nenori nda matetun sa, lea rala bobꞌonggiꞌ ruma raꞌadꞌooꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ nenori ndoo-tetun. Ara sangga doiꞌ noꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ nara! Ai atahori mataꞌ naa ra, fo ara sudꞌi ranori rakandoo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
12 Lao esa, mana mahine dui fini nara esa mia pulu Kreta dui soꞌal eni atahori nara nae, “Atahori Kreta ra hiiꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ, mana nasuu-naseti, banda nda mana nahine hadꞌa-dꞌalaꞌ sa, ma mbembera nara seli!”
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
13 Memaꞌ atahori naa ra onaꞌ naa! De musi muu mo baliꞌ atahori mana nenelaka-heseꞌ ra, fo tao manggatee baliꞌ nemehere nara neu Lamatuaꞌ.
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Fo ara sudꞌi boe rena atahori Yahudi ra dudꞌui lasiꞌ nara, ma musi raloeꞌ tungga parendaꞌ mia atahori nda mana simbo nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
15 Musunedꞌa malolole! Soaꞌ neu atahori rala meumareꞌ, basaꞌ e meumareꞌ. Te soaꞌ neu atahori rala deꞌulakaꞌ, ma nda ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ sa, nda hambu dꞌala meumareꞌ esa sa boe. Huu rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara memaꞌ deꞌulaka ena.
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.
16 Ara rataa rae sira rahine Lamatualain. Te masodꞌa nara, onaꞌ nda rahine E sa. Ara ola laen, te tao laen. Memaꞌ atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Ara nda nau tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae atahori mataꞌ naa ra tao maloleꞌ.
They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
