Titus 3

1 Lizinong nani i ne ati bara anan tigo nin nanan tica tig, inunku vat.

Admonish them to be subordinate to the rulers and authorities, to obey their dictates, to be prepared for every good work,

2 Na iwa firin umong b, na iwa su mayerdan ba na isun anit ti bau mine nin dursuzu nteltinu nati udu na ti vat

to speak evil of no one, not to be litigious, but to be reserved, displaying all meekness toward all men.

3 Bara nani arik atibite nwa di sa ukpilzu nin salin nunku nat, tiwa cinu hem ti so acin kuna niyizi nin lanzun mman. Tiwa di nanyan likara linanzan nnin shina. Tiwa nari ati bite nin salin laun mmang.

For, in times past, we ourselves were also unwise, unbelieving, erring, servants of various desires and pleasures, acting with malice and envy, being hateful and hating one another.

4 Bara na nshau kibinai Kutelle unan tucu bite nin son suu me udu kitin nit adaa.

But then the kindness and humanity of God our Savior appeared.

5 Awa tucu nari nnuzun maru upese nin lipesen Nfip mi la, na bara ni tawaa na tisuzu b, bara nani nkunekune mer.

And he saved us, not by works of justice that we had done, but, in accord with his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit,

6 Kutelle na ni nari Nfip me milau nanya Yesu kristi unan tucu bite.

whom he has poured out upon us in abundance, through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7 Awa suu nani tina see usortu nanya mbolu Kutell, ti da su anan lin gadu nlai sa ligang nin likara kibinai. (aiōnios g166)

so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Too ti pipinghe tinyinuwari. Ndi nin suu iliru nin likara kibinai bara ele imon, ara ale na uyinna nin Kutelle iceu nibinai mine nitwa ni cine naa ana ceu nbugn min. I le imone caun nin se ugb ardan bara anit vat.

This is a faithful saying. And I want you to confirm these things, so that those who believe in God may take care to excel in good works. These things are good and useful to men.

9 Bara nani sunan mayardan tilalalng tone nin piziru na kura nin fizu nibinai nnun bara uduk. I leli imone na icau ba nin salin nimong kitene.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, as well as arguments against the law. For these are useless and empty.

10 Nari ule na adin dasu nin kosu natii nanya mine iwa malu wunughe atuf urun sa tiba.

Avoid a man who is a heretic, after the first and second correction,

11 Nin yinu au umusin ntele amlu killau liti me nanya libau ti terd nin tizu kulapi nca nkul.

knowing that one who is like this has been subverted, and that he offends; for he has been condemned by his own judgment.

12 Dana iwa tuu Artamas sa Tychikus ku kiti mine tanmas idak kiti nighe in Nikopolis kikaa nan ina yinin in soo ku kubin tutuwui.

When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry to return to me at Nicopolis. For I have decided to winter there.

13 Tanmas ituu Zinas ku unan yiru ndoka. nin Apollo, nin nimong ile na idinin suwe.

Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollo ahead with care, and let nothing be lacking to them.

14 Na amit bite masu nitwa nicine nanga na nima bizu ti bukata ti kpaikpai bara iwa so sa nitwa ba

But let our men also learn to excel in good works pertaining to the necessities of life, so that they may not be unfruitful.

15 Vat nale na idi nin me idin lisu min. Lison ale na idi ni su bite nanya yinnu sa uyenu ubolu Kutelle soo nan ghin. usuo nani

All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. May the grace of God be with you all. Amen.
