< Titus 3 >

1 Lizinong nani i ne ati bara anan tigo nin nanan tica tig, inunku vat.
Remind them to follow what rulers tell them to do, and to obey authorities. They should always be ready to do what is good.
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
They should not speak badly about anyone, and they should not be argumentative. Tell them to show gentleness and kindness to everyone.
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 there was a time when we too were foolish and disobedient. We were deceived and slaves to various desires and pleasures. We lived wicked lives full of jealousy, hateful people hating one another.
4 Bara na nshau kibinai Kutelle unan tucu bite nin son suu me udu kitin nit adaa.
But when the goodness and love of God our Savior was revealed, he saved us,
5 Awa tucu nari nnuzun maru upese nin lipesen Nfip mi la, na bara ni tawaa na tisuzu b, bara nani nkunekune mer.
not because of anything good that we've done, but because of his mercy. He did this through the cleansing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 Kutelle na ni nari Nfip me milau nanya Yesu kristi unan tucu bite.
which he poured out on us abundantly 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)
Now that we are set right by his grace we have become heirs having 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.
You can trust what I'm saying, and I want you to emphasize these instructions so that those who trust in God will think seriously about them and continue to do good. They are excellent and helpful for everyone.
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.
Avoid pointless discussions, and obsessions about ancestry. Don't get into arguments, and avoid fights over the Jewish laws—they're useless and don't help at all.
10 Nari ule na adin dasu nin kosu natii nanya mine iwa malu wunughe atuf urun sa tiba.
Warn someone who is divisive once, and then again—after that don't pay them any attention,
11 Nin yinu au umusin ntele amlu killau liti me nanya libau ti terd nin tizu kulapi nca nkul.
realizing that they're perverse and sinful and have condemned themselves.
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.
As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, try and come to me at Nicopolis because I'm planning to spend the winter there.
13 Tanmas ituu Zinas ku unan yiru ndoka. nin Apollo, nin nimong ile na idinin suwe.
Do all you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that they have everything they need.
14 Na amit bite masu nitwa nicine nanga na nima bizu ti bukata ti kpaikpai bara iwa so sa nitwa ba
May our people learn the habit of doing good in providing for the daily needs of others. They need to be productive!
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
Everyone here with me sends their greetings. Give our best wishes to those who love us, those who trust in God. May grace be with you all.
