Titus 1

1 Paul a servant of God an apostle now of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of [the] elect of God and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to godliness

Na Paora, he pononga na te Atua, he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, i runga i te whakapono o te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua, i te matauranga hoki ki ta te pono e rite ai te karakia;

2 in [the] hope of life eternal, which promised who cannot lie God before time eternal. (aiōnios g166)

I runga ano i te tumanako atu ki te ora tonu, i whakaaria mai nei i mua atu o te ao e te Atua e kore nei e teka; (aiōnios g166)

3 He revealed now [in] seasons [His] own in the word of Him in [the] proclamation with which was entrusted I myself according to [the] commandment of the Savior of us God;

Nana nei i whakakite mai tana kupu i ona wa, ra te kupu i tukua mai ki ahau, he mea whakarite mai na te Atua, na to tatou Kaiwhakaora;

4 To Titus [my] true child according to [our] common faith: Grace (and *N+KO) peace from God [the] Father and (Lord *K) Christ Jesus the Savior of us.

Ki a Taituha, ki taku tamaiti pono i runga i to tatou whakapono tahi: Kia tau te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu, na to tatou kaiwhakaora.

5 of this Because (I left *N+k+o) you in Crete, so that the [things] lacking you may set in order and may appoint in every town elders as I myself you directed;

Ko te mea tenei i waiho atu ai koe e ahau ki Kariti, kia whakatikaia ai e koe nga mea i mahue, kia whakaritea ai ano hoki he kaumatua ki ia pa, ki ia pa, kia pera ai me taku i whakatakoto atu ai ki a koe:

6 if anyone is blameless, of one wife [the] husband, children having believing, not under accusation of debauchery or insubordinate.

Ki te mea he tangata kahore e ekengia e te kupu, he tahu no te wahine kotahi, he tamariki whakapono ana, kahore e korerotia to ratou toreretanga ki te kino, kahore e tutu.

7 It behooves for the overseer blameless to be as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick tempered, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,

Ko te tikanga hoki mo te pihopa, kia kaua e ekengia e te kupu, kia rite ki ta te Atua tuari: ehara i te mea tohe ki tana ake, kahore ona aritarita, kahore ana kakai waina, kahore ana papatu, kahore e whai i te taonga he;

8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, [and] disciplined,

Engari e atawhai ana i te manuhiri, e aroha ana ki te pai, e whai whakaaro ana, e tika ana, e tapu ana, e pehi ana i ona hiahia;

9 holding according to the teaching of [the] faithful word, that able he may be both to encourage with teaching sound and those contradicting [it] to convict.

E u ana te pupuri i te kupu pono i whakaakona atu na, kia taea ai e ia, i te mea ka tika nei tana whakaako, te whakahauhau, te turaki ano i ta te hunga e totohe mai ana.

10 There are for many also insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers especially those of (the *no) circumcision

He tokomaha hoki te hunga tutu, korero teka noa, tinihanga; nui atu ia o te hunga o te kotinga,

11 whom it is necessary to silence; who whole households overthrow teaching things that [they] not ought of shameful gain because.

Me kuku o ratou waha; riro pu hoki etahi whare te whakaputa ke e ratou, e whakaako ana i nga mea e kore e tika, he whakaaro hoki ki te taonga he.

12 Said one of them own of them a prophet; Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, gluttons lazy.

I mea tetahi o ratou, he poropiti no ratou ake, He teka tonu ta nga Kariti, he kararehe kino, he pukukai, he mangere.

13 testimony this is true; for which cause do rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,

Ka pono tenei korero. Na reira kia koi tau kupu riri ki a ratou; kia ora ai to ratou whakapono;

14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and to [the] commandments of men turning away from the truth.

Kei tahuri hoki ratou ki nga kupu tito a nga Hurai, ki nga ture a nga tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te pono.

15 All things [are] (indeed *k) pure to the pure; to those however defiled and unbelieving no [thing] [is] pure, Instead have been defiled of them both mind and conscience.

He ma nga mea katoa ki te hunga ma: tena ki te hunga poke, kahore nei o ratou whakapono, kahore he mea ma: heoi he mea poke o ratou whakaaro, o ratou hinengaro.

16 God they profess to know, however by [their] works they deny [Him] detestable being and disobedient and for any work good unfit.

Ki ta ratou ki kua matau ratou ki te Atua; heoi ko a ratou mahi hei whakakahore ki a ia, he hunga whakarihariha ratou, he hunga tutu, e kore ano e tikangatia mo tetahi mahi pai.
