Titu 3

1 Ukkungnawk, sakthaihaih tawn kaminawk, lokcaekkungnawk ih lok to tahngaih moe, kahoih hmuennawk boih sak hanah amsakcoek kami ah oh han oh,

Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

2 minawk kasae thui ai kami, monghaih koeh kami, tuinom tawn kami hoi kaminawk boih khaeah poeknaemhaih amtuengsak kami ah oh o hanah patuk ah.

to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.

3 Aicae doeh canghniah loe amthu kami, lok tahngai ai kami, aling thaih kami, long nawmhaih hoi taksa koehhaih congca sah kami, minawk raihaih paek kami, uthaih tawn kami, hnukma koiah khosah kami, maeto hoi maeto hnuma kami ah ni a oh o.

For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4 Toe aicae pahlongkung Angraeng Sithaw tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih kami khaeah amtueng pacoengah loe,

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,

5 a sak o ih tok hoiah kaom toenghaih pongah na ai, angtha let thai hanah ang pasaehhaih, Muithla angthasak lethaih hoi palungnathaih a tawnh pongah ni aicae to ang pahlong.

not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6 Aicae pahlongkung Jesu Kri rang hoiah aicae nuiah to Muithla to kapop ah ang kraih pae.

whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

7 Aicae loe a tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni toenghaih a hnuk o, dungzan hinghaih oep kami ah a oh o baktih toengah, qawktoep kami ah a om o tih. (aiōnios g166)

that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Hae loe oep kathok lok ah oh. Sithaw tang kaminawk loe kahoih hmuen sak o poe thai hanah acoe han oh; hae baktih toknawk na sak thai poe hanah kang koehhaih. Hae hmuennawk loe sak han kahoih hmuen khue na ai ah, kaminawk han doeh atho oh.

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;

9 Toe ahlong kaom ai lokduenghaih, acaeng paruihaih, angaekhaih, kaalok pongah angzoehhaihnawk to ayae ah; to baktih hmuennawk loe atho om ai, avanghaih doeh om ai.

but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 Poekhaih amkhraengsak kami to vaito maw, vai hnetto maw na thuitaek pacoengah pathok ah.

Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;

11 To baktih kami loe toenghaih loklam hoi amkhraeng kami, zaehaih sak koeh kami, angmah hoi angmah lok angcaek kami ah ni oh.

knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

12 Artema, to tih ai boeh loe Taikika to nang khaeah kang patoeh naah, Nikopoli vangpui ah kai khae angzoh thai han azom ah: siktue thung to vangpui ah oh han kam sak.

When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

13 Kaalok kakop Zena hoi Appolo kholong caeh han amsak hoi naah, nihnik angaihaih tidoeh oh han ai ah tha pathok ah loe a bomh ah.

Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

14 Aicae ih kaminawk doeh thingthai athai ai ah oh o han ai, kangtoeng kaminawk abomh thai hanah, hmuen kahoih sakhaih to amtuk o nasoe.

Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

15 Kai khaeah kaom kaminawk boih mah ban ang sin o. Tanghaih hoiah aicae palung kaminawk to bansin ah. Nangcae boih nuiah tahmenhaih om nasoe. Amen.

All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
