Titus 3

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

Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,

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

not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards 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 there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.

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

But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,

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

as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,

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

which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

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

in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes. (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 on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.

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 hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.

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

After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;

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

for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.

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.

After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.

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

Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.

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

And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.

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

Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.
