Titus 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I'm sent to build up the trust of God's chosen people and to share the knowledge of the truth that leads to lives lived for God.
PAULUS ladun Kot o wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen, duen poson en me pilipildar en Kot akan o duen erpit en melel ong pai ren Kot;
2 This gives them the hope of eternal life that God (who cannot lie) promised ages ago, (aiōnios g166)
O kaporoporeki maur soutuk, me Kot so likam inaukidar mon tapin kaua. (aiōnios g166)
3 but which at the proper time he revealed through his word in the message which I was entrusted to give, following the command of God our Savior.
A ni a ansau a kotin kasansaledar a masan ki padak, me ko ong ia, duen kusoned en Kot atail Saunkamaur.
4 This letter is sent to Titus, my true son through the trust in God we share in common. May you have grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Ong Titus nai seri melel ni ata poson ta ieu: Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam o Kristus Iesus atail Saunkamaur en mi re om!
5 The reason I left you in Crete was for you to organize what was still needed and to appoint elders in every town, as I told you.
Iet karepen ai kamodang uk edi Kreta, pwe koe en kapwaiada, me kaikenta wiauier o kasapwilada saunkoa kan ni kanim karos, due i kakaliki ong uk.
6 An elder must have a good reputation, the husband of one wife, and have children who believe and who are not accused of being wild or disobedient.
Saunkoa amen en indand mau, o warok en li ta men, o me na seri kan posonla, o so kaindandeki, me re kamom de sopeik.
7 As a leader for God, a head elder must have a good reputation and not be arrogant. He should not have a quick temper nor get drunk; he shouldn't be violent or greedy for money.
Pwe pisop en pungla, duen saunkoa en Kot amen, der katiwo, der purianikom, der kamom wain, der pamara, der norok moni.
8 He should be hospitable, someone who loves what's good and does what's right. He should be living a life for God, self-controlled,
A ren apwali men kairu o pok ong me mau, o kanongama, o pung, o saraui, o makelekel.
9 and must be devoted to the trustworthy message as it's taught. In this way he can encourage others through correct teaching, and be able to convince those who disagree.
Kolekoleta masan, me udan pung o koiok ong padak, pwen kak ong panauiki padak en kamaur o kapung ong me katiwo kan.
10 For there are many rebels around who talk a lot of deceptive nonsense, especially from the circumcision group.
Pwe ir me toto me malaun o kapei lokaia o me kaweid sapung, iet eten, kisan men sirkomsais.
11 Their talking must stop, these people who throw whole families into turmoil, teaching things that aren't right for the sake of making money.
Me mau ong au ar en pinapinla, pwe re kin kawukila toun im toto, o me kin padapadaki, me sota mau, pweki moni.
12 As someone of their own people, a prophet, has stated, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts who are lazy, greedy people.”
Amen irail, pein arail saukop amen inda: Men Kreta me kalap likam, man sued o laualo, nain manga.
13 This is a true statement! Consequently give them a good telling-off so that they can have a healthy trust in God,
Kadede pot et me melel. Ari, i me koe en kapung kelail ong irail, pwe ren kelailada ni poson.
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and human commandments from those who deviate from the truth.
O ren der insenoki en Sus oko ar kasoi mal akan o kusoned en aramas akan, me muei sang melel.
15 To those who have clean minds everything is clean, but to those who are corrupt and refuse to trust in God, nothing is clean—both their minds and their consciences are corrupt.
Karos me kon ong makelekel akan, a sota me kon ong me samin o so poson akan, pwe arail lamelame o pil insen arail me samin.
16 They claim to know God, but they prove this is false by what they do. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
Re kin inda, me re asa Kot, a ni ar wiawia kan re kin ponsasa i. Irail meid sued, o sopeik, o so koiok ong song en wiawia mau karos.
