Titus 3

1 Remind them to subordinate themselves to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

Fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu jamaꞌat ra, fo rena mana parenda ma mana toꞌu koasa ra. Ma ara musi tao tungga atoran ma sadꞌia tao maloleꞌ rakandooꞌ a.

2 to slander no one, to be peaceable, gentle, demonstrating true humility to all men.

Afiꞌ rendi-rendiꞌ dedꞌeat fo raꞌamuti-raꞌamuu atahori nara malole nara. Ara o afiꞌ hii rareresi. Malole lenaꞌ rasodꞌa malolole ro basa atahori ra.

3 Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another.

Maꞌahulun, leleꞌ hita nda feꞌe tahine Lamatuaꞌ Yesus sa, nda tahine saa-saa sa boe, ma ata nenetipuꞌ no mudꞌaꞌ. Hita nda nau rena atahori laen sa. Tasodꞌa tunggaꞌ a rala deꞌulaka tara, de taꞌasususaꞌ ao tara no nasabꞌoriꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Hita nda maloleꞌ to atahori sa ma masodꞌa tara sofeꞌ noꞌ a dale-leliꞌ ra. Hiiꞌ a tambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ, ma atahori o rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ ro nggita boe.

4 But when the kindness of our Savior God and His love toward mankind manifested itself,

Onaꞌ mae masodꞌa tara rambalutu ena o, Lamatualain mana fee hita masodꞌaꞌ a, natudꞌu susuen, ma rala malolen neu hita ena.

5 He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggita, nda huu hita tatao malolen sa, te huu susuen neu hita. Ana nameu sala-kilu tara, nendiꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren, tao nafefeu masodꞌa tara, onaꞌ hita nenebꞌonggi bꞌaliꞌ.

6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Huu Yesus Kristus mate, fo sala-kilu tara nenefee ambon, ma hambu masodꞌaꞌ boe, naa de Lamatualain naꞌondaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nema hita nda nemeetu sa.

7 so that having been justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Huu Yesus rala malolen, de Ana tao nalole bꞌaliꞌ hita leleo-lalaon to Lamatualain, onaꞌ amaꞌ no anaꞌ. De ata bubꞌuluꞌ tae, dei fo masodꞌa tara nda namaꞌetu no E sa. Naa, dadꞌi hata-heto tara! (aiōnios g166)

8 The above is a trustworthy statement and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be concerned to take the lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for mankind.

Au olaꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe taꞌo naa. Saa fo au unoriꞌ ia, naꞌena ngguna fee basa atahori ra. De musi muu huhuar atahori fo ara tungga nenoriꞌ naa ra no tebꞌe-tebꞌe. Basa atahori mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ musi sanggaꞌ dalaꞌ fo taoꞌ a maloleꞌ ra.

9 But avoid foolish arguments and genealogies and contentions and disputes about the law, because they are unprofitable and useless.

Afiꞌ sorodꞌodꞌodꞌo mo dedꞌea ombo-koson ra, onaꞌ nereresi dedꞌea nda ma huu-pataꞌ ra sa, Afiꞌ muu mutofa mo atahori, mireresi seka tititi-nonosin manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ, ma mitofa soꞌal hohoro-lalane adat Yahudi ra. Soaꞌ neu saa? Basa naa ra nda raꞌena ngguna saa sa boe. Ngganggariꞌ a fai!

10 Excommunicate a divisive man after a first and second admonition,

Muu munori atahori mana hiiꞌ a tao jamaꞌat ra sea-saranggaa. Mete ma ana feꞌe tao taꞌo naa, ai e no dꞌeres. Mete ma ana feꞌe tao seluꞌ taꞌo naa, naa sudꞌi boe rena e fai.

11 knowing that such a person has been perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

Atahori mataꞌ naa, dudꞌuꞌan nda ndoo-tetuꞌ sa ena. Tatao-nonoꞌin mana natudꞌu sala nara neu basa atahori.

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to spend the winter there.

Au ae denu Artemas do Tikikus, neti nandaa no nggo sia pulu Kreta. Mete ma ana losa, na, uma lai-lai mundaa mo au sia kota Nikopolis. Te fai maꞌasufuꞌ ia, au hii ae leo sia naa.

13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way without delay, that they may lack nothing.

Muhine mana nahine soꞌal hohoro-lalaneꞌ naran Senas, ma nonoon Apolos, to! Ara rae reu sia mamana dodꞌooꞌ. De tulu-fali mala se fo ara afiꞌ toꞌa-taa saa sia dalaꞌ boe.

14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet pressing needs, that they not be unfruitful.

Atahori mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus afiꞌ endoꞌ lipa limaꞌ. Ara musi ranori tao maloleꞌ ma tulu-fali atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra. No taꞌo naa, masodꞌa nara raꞌena ngguna.

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

Basa hai mana sia ia ra haitua sodꞌa-moleꞌ fee nggo, Titus, ma fe neu hita toronoo mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus boe. Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Baꞌu a naa, Paulus
