Titus 1
1 Bulus, kucin Kutelle nin nanan kadura Yesu Kristi, udu utune ana yinu sa uyenu nale na ina fere naini nnuzu Kutelle nin tunu kidegene nin yinu udine nale na yina nin katwa kachine Kutelle
Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God's elect and a real knowledge of the Truth that accords with godliness,
2 Nin likara kibinai au lai sa liga, un Kutelle ulena adini kinu b, nin likawali vat kafin uur kubi. (aiōnios g166)
in hope of eternal life—which life God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time (aiōnios g166)
3 Kubi kucine awati uliru kadura me kitini ayina nin me in suu. Inwadin woru in suu nani bara ubelu Kutelle una tuchu bite.
but has manifested by a proclamation of His Word at chosen times, which word was entrusted to me by the command of our Savior God;
4 Udu kiti Titus, gono kidegen nanya yinu sa uyen. Ubolu Kutelle nkuneme nin shau kibinai nnuzu Kutelle nin Kristi Yesu. unan tucu bite.
to Titus, a true son in a common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from Father God and Sovereign Jesus Christ, our Savior.
5 Bara nani iwa cinfi nanya Krete, uma suu imene na ti sa suu ba unin tarda akune ucharananya ni gbir nafo na ina belin fi.
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you should set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every town as I directed you
6 Akune na iwa yita nin dinon b, ules uwani urum nin nono nayi achine na nin dinonkibinai ba nin salin lazu nliru.
—if a man is blameless, a one-woman man, having children who believe and who are not open to the charge of being wild or disobedient.
7 Uhoon igime ame unan yenjue, kilari Kutelle yita lau sa kulapi. na awa yita
Because as an administrator under God the overseer must be blameless; not self-willed, not hotheaded, not given to wine, not a bully, not avaricious;
8 Nin nani na ayita una sesu namara, una suu nilemong na chou. Ayita unan kpilzu uchine ayita lau, una feu Kuteele nin minu litime.
but rather hospitable, a lover of what is good, prudent, just, holy, disciplined;
9 Ulena ama minu gagan ligulan kidegen, bara anan taa among likara nanya liru uchine nin dursuzu uchine nin kelu na le na inari ghe.
holding fast the trustworthy Word as taught, so that he may be competent both to exhort with the sound doctrine and to correct those who oppose it.
10 Bara among duku gbardan anannazu kiti masaman ale na ina suu nani ukachiya ti gbulan mine cauzin ba. Idin rusuzu anit udu lidina linanzan.
Because there really are lots of rebels, loudmouths and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group,
11 Ucaun ikpadani. Idin dursuzu ilemon na icau idusuza ba, bara imong chiin insali riba nin musuzu kilari.
who must be silenced—they are ruining whole households, teaching things that they ought not, and for dishonest gain!
12 Umong mine, adi jinjin ka aworoAnan fulzu kinu nsali ligan inani iyita imun fiu nafo inawan ten, nin kugbala nidowo.''
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13 Ule ulire kidegegher, tamas ukele nani ina su dert nanya yinnu sauyenu.
This testimony is true. Therefore correct them rigorously, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Nauwa nii kibinai fe na Yahudawa nin na biin mine ba, ko udu tidokoki nanit na kpila nin kibinai kit kidegene.
not paying attention to Jewish fables or to commands of men who are rejecting the truth.
15 Udu kiti na le na idi lau, vat umong di lau. Bara udu kiti na lena idi zemzem nin diru yinu nimong ilau. Bara nibinai mine nin kpilizu mine di nanzanghari.
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; in fact, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16 Imasi fo iyiru Kutelle, bara nani inani narighe nin matiza mine. Na icau ba inin di gbas. Na katwa kacine di kiti mine ba.
They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him, being detestable, disobedient and disqualified for any good work.
