Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaareynne Xoossaa aylley, Phawuloosi, xaafida dabddaabbiya. Xoossay doorida asaa ammanuwa dichchanaadanne tuma ayyaana de7uwa waanidi daanekko bessiya tumaa eraakko entta kaalethanaw taani kiitettas.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
He ammanoynne eratethay merinaa de7uwa ufayssaa bolla zemppis. Hessa daro wodeppe sinthe worddotonna Xoossay nuus immana gidi qaala gelis. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Nuna ashshiya Xoossay ba woden ha kiitaa odana mela taw hadara immis.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Savior.
Nu kothe ammanuwan ta tuma na7aa gidida Tito, Xoossaa Aawappenne nuna ashshiya Yesuus Kiristtoosappe aadho keehatethay, maarotethaynne sarotethay new gido.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
Taani nena Qarxeesen aggada yiday, neeni attidabaa giigisanaadanne taani kiittidayssada katamaa ubban woosa keetha cimata doorana melassa.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Cimi borettonnayssa, issi machche azinaa, maara dhayon woykko kiitetetha ixon asi boronna ammaniyaa nayti de7iya asi gidanaw bessees.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Woosa keetha cimi Xoossaa oosuwa hadara ekkida gisho, borettonnayssa, otorttonayssa, elle yilottonnayssa, mathottonayssa, oda medhdhonayssanne bessonna go77as dafettonayssa gidanaw bessees.
8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
Shin imathe mokkeyssa, lo77obaa ubbaa doseyssa, akeekanchcho, xillo, geeshshinne bana haareyssa gidanaw bessees.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
Harata suure timirttiyan minthethanawunne he timirttiya ixxeyssata zaaranaw ba tamaarida tuma qaalan minnidi eqqanaw bessees.
10 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Kiitettonayssati, pathonna oda odetteyssati, cimmeyssati ubbaka qaxxaretetha wogaa naagiya daro asati de7oosona.
11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
Entti bessonna ogen miishe demmanaw koyidi, tamaarssanaw bessonnabaa tamaarssishe keetha asaa ubbaa iissiya gisho entta timirttiya teqqanaw bessees.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
Entta nabetappe issoy, “Qarxeese asay ubba wode worddo odettoosona; iita do7atanne azalla yarambbata” yaagis.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Ha markkatethay tuma markkatethi. Hessa gisho, enttaw tuma ammanoy daana mela entta hanqetta.
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
Tuma kiitettonna asaa timirttiyanne Ayhudeta pathonna tossiya si7onna mela entta seera.
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Banttaw geeshshi gididayssatas ubbay geeshshi, shin tunatasinne ammanonnaysstas entta qofaynne kahay tunida gisho, enttaw aybikka geeshshi gidenna.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Entti nu Xoossaa eroos goosona, shin bantta oosuwan iya kaddoosona. Entti Xoossan ixettidayssata, kiitettonayssatanne lo77o ooso ubbaas gidonnayssata.
