Titu 1
1 Pathen kah sal neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih kai Paul loh, Pathen hlang coelh kah tangnah neh oltak mingnah, dungyan hingnah ngaiuepnah dongkah hingcimnah vanbangla kan yaak sak.
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
3 Tedae olhoe dongah amah kah olka tah amah tue vaengah phoe coeng. Tekah te mamih khangkung Pathen kah olpaek vanbangla kai taengah a hal coeng.
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4 A cui la tangnah dongah ka ca tak Titu taengah, Pa Pathen neh mamih khangkung Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah te soep saeh.
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 Te ham ni Krete ah nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni Kai loh nang kan uen vanbangla kho takuem ah a hamca rhoek na tuek vetih a vawtthoek te na soepsoei thai eh.
For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 Tedae khat khat ni cimbit la a om atah, yuu va pakhat bueng aka om, a ca rhoek uepom la aka om, cungpoehnah neh thinthah dongah lai om boel saeh.
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 Hiphoelkung he Pathen kah hnokhoem la a om dongah a cimbit la om ham a kuek. Cungpoeh boel saeh, thintoi boel saeh, yumi boel saeh, kuthlah boel saeh, tangkarhai boel saeh.
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 Tedae moeihoeih la, ko-op la, cuepmueih la, a dueng la, a cim la kuemsuem saeh.
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Thuituennah vanbangla olka te uepom la tu saeh. Te daengah ni thaphoh vetih boekoek rhoek te aka cuem thuituennah nen khaw, toeltham ham khaw a om thai eh.
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 Thinthah rhoek, olhong rhoek neh vuelvaekkung rhoek loh, olpuei la yahvinrhetnah khuikah muep om ngawn.
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Amih te kamkhuem sak ham a kuek coeng. Amih loh rhaidaeng a ti uh mueh la imkhui tom a palet uh tih amah hoeikhangnah ham te a thuituen uh.
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
12 Amih khuikah hlang pakhat, amih kah tonghma loh, “Krete, laithae rhoek, boethae maehkai, palyal bungkawng taitu uh mai,” a ti.
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 Hekah laipai tah thuem. Tekah paelnaehnah lamloh amih te rhap toeltham. Te daengah ni tangnah dongah a sa a ding uh eh.
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Judah rhoek kah yancil neh oltak aka phaelh hlang rhoek kah olpaek te hnatung boeh.
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 A rhoepsaep he aka caih rhoek ham a caih la om. Tedae aka boi rhoek neh aka tangnahmueh rhoek ham tah caih pawh. Tedae amih kah lungbuei neh mingcimnah khaw boi uh coeng.
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 Pathen te ming ham a phong uh dae a khoboe neh a hnawt uh. Rhalawt la om uh tih lokhak uh. Bibi then boeih nen khaw lolhmaih uh.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
