Titus 1
1 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 in hope of eternal life—which life God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time (aiōnios g166)
Titus ana malole ngge! Susura ia mia au, Paulus, Lamatualain aten, no Yesus Kristus dedenun. Ana denu au tao manggatetee atahori fo tengga nalaꞌ ra nemehere nara. Ana o denu au utudꞌu dala ndoos, fo rasodꞌa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain atahori nara ramahena rae dei fo rasodꞌa raꞌabꞌue rakandoo ro E. Lamatuaꞌ nda feꞌe naꞌadꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia sa, te Ana helu memaꞌ nae, dei fo atahori nara rasodꞌa rakandoo ro E. Memaꞌ Ana nda mana peko-lelekoꞌ sa. Nandaa no fain ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu relo-relo nae, Eni fee atahori rasodꞌa mia sala-kilu nara, fo rasodꞌa rakandoo ro Eni. Basa ma Ana parenda au uu dui-bꞌengga Hara-lii Malolen neu basa atahori sia bee-bꞌee. Titus! Ho onaꞌ ana ngga ena, huu ruꞌa nggita tamahere belaꞌ neu Kristus. Dadꞌi au hule-oꞌe neu Ama Lamatualain, no Yesus Kristus mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita, fo ratudꞌu rala malolen nara neu nggo, fo musodꞌa no mole-dꞌame. (aiōnios g166)
3 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 to Titus, a true son in a common faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from Father God and Sovereign Jesus Christ, our Savior.
5 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
Fai maꞌahulun, au uꞌetuꞌ lao hela nggo sia pulu Kreta, fo tao mulolole dalaꞌ hira feꞌe parlu sia naa. Ma soꞌu atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat sia tungga-tungga kota ra. Afiꞌ liliiꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ fo au ufadꞌe neu nggo soꞌal atahori mana nandaa nuni jamaꞌat ra. Ae:
6 —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.
mete ma mae soꞌu atahori dadꞌi mana nuni jamaꞌat, na, masodꞌan afiꞌ hambu sala-kiluꞌ saa-saa boe. Musi nasodꞌa noꞌ a saon esaꞌ a. Ana nara o ramahere neu Yesus Kristus. Afiꞌ losa atahori rae, ana nara hiiꞌ a tao haras, ma bꞌalabꞌan.
7 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;
Huu mana nuni jamaꞌat ra, ralalao Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon, dadꞌi ara musi rasodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ ma manara maloleꞌ. Afiꞌ soꞌu atahori mana koaoꞌ; ma nasa nara seli, fo hiiꞌ a nasa-nasaꞌ; mana ninu mafuꞌ; mana matofa-mauꞌ; mana hiiꞌ a dꞌoiꞌ.
8 but rather hospitable, a lover of what is good, prudent, just, holy, disciplined;
Atahori mana nuni jamaꞌat ra musi hii simbo atahori sia ume nara no lima ruaꞌ. Ara musi hiiꞌ a maloleꞌ; musi mana matu-matuꞌ, tunggaꞌ a ndoon, rala meumareꞌ, ma mana maꞌatataaꞌ rala ao nara.
9 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.
Ara musi toꞌu rahereꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan, fo feꞌesaꞌan hita tanori neu se ena. No naa, ara ratudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dala ndoo-tetun neu atahori, ma tao ratetu nenoriꞌ fo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
10 Because there really are lots of rebels, loudmouths and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group,
Huu atahori hetar hiiꞌ a labꞌan nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a, dadꞌi dedꞌea-oꞌola nara nda raꞌena huu-pataꞌ sa, ma hiiꞌ a pepeko-lelekoꞌ. Lelenan te atahori Yahudi mana rae basa atahori mana nau hambu masodꞌaꞌ musi sunat.
11 who must be silenced—they are ruining whole households, teaching things that they ought not, and for dishonest gain!
No sira nenori nda matetun sa, lea rala bobꞌonggiꞌ ruma raꞌadꞌooꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ nenori ndoo-tetun. Ara sangga doiꞌ noꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ nara! Ai atahori mataꞌ naa ra, fo ara sudꞌi ranori rakandoo nda matetuꞌ ra sa.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Lao esa, mana mahine dui fini nara esa mia pulu Kreta dui soꞌal eni atahori nara nae, “Atahori Kreta ra hiiꞌa pepeko-lelekoꞌ, mana nasuu-naseti, banda nda mana nahine hadꞌa-dꞌalaꞌ sa, ma mbembera nara seli!”
13 This testimony is true. Therefore correct them rigorously, that they may be sound in the faith,
Memaꞌ atahori naa ra onaꞌ naa! De musi muu mo baliꞌ atahori mana nenelaka-heseꞌ ra, fo tao manggatee baliꞌ nemehere nara neu Lamatuaꞌ.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables or to commands of men who are rejecting the truth.
Fo ara sudꞌi boe rena atahori Yahudi ra dudꞌui lasiꞌ nara, ma musi raloeꞌ tungga parendaꞌ mia atahori nda mana simbo nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa.
15 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.
Musunedꞌa malolole! Soaꞌ neu atahori rala meumareꞌ, basaꞌ e meumareꞌ. Te soaꞌ neu atahori rala deꞌulakaꞌ, ma nda ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ sa, nda hambu dꞌala meumareꞌ esa sa boe. Huu rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara memaꞌ deꞌulaka ena.
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him, being detestable, disobedient and disqualified for any good work.
Ara rataa rae sira rahine Lamatualain. Te masodꞌa nara, onaꞌ nda rahine E sa. Ara ola laen, te tao laen. Memaꞌ atahori deꞌulakaꞌ! Ara nda nau tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Afiꞌ mimihena mae atahori mataꞌ naa ra tao maloleꞌ.
