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 servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's chosen people and the knowledge of the truth that agrees with godliness,
2 Nin likara kibinai au lai sa liga, un Kutelle ulena adini kinu b, nin likawali vat kafin uur kubi. (aiōnios g166)
with the certain hope of everlasting life that God, who does not lie, promised before all 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.
At the right time, he revealed his word by the message that he trusted me to deliver. I was to do this by the command of God our savior.
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 our common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus 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.
For this purpose I left you in Crete, that you might set in order things not yet complete and ordain elders in every city 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.
An elder must be without blame, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who do not have the reputation of being reckless or undisciplined.
7 Uhoon igime ame unan yenjue, kilari Kutelle yita lau sa kulapi. na awa yita
It is necessary for the overseer, as God's household manager, to be blameless. He must not be arrogant, not be easily angered, not addicted to wine, not a brawler, and not a greedy man.
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.
Instead, he should be hospitable and a friend of what is good. He must be sensible, righteous, godly, and self-controlled.
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.
He should hold tightly to the trustworthy message that was taught, so that he may be able to encourage others with good teaching and correct those who oppose him.
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.
For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision.
11 Ucaun ikpadani. Idin dursuzu ilemon na icau idusuza ba, bara imong chiin insali riba nin musuzu kilari.
It is necessary to stop them. They are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful profit what they should not teach.
12 Umong mine, adi jinjin ka aworoAnan fulzu kinu nsali ligan inani iyita imun fiu nafo inawan ten, nin kugbala nidowo.''
One of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13 Ule ulire kidegegher, tamas ukele nani ina su dert nanya yinnu sauyenu.
This statement is true. Therefore, correct them severely, so 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 any attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of people who turn away from 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 those who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and their consciences have been corrupted.
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 they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for doing any good work.
