Tito 3
1 Palagipam ida nga agpaituray kadagiti mangidadaulo ken agtuturay, nga agtulnog kadakuada, a nakasagana para iti tunggal nasayaat nga aramid.
Remind them to follow what rulers tell them to do, and to obey authorities. They should always be ready to do what is good.
2 Palagipam ida a saanda a mamadpadakes iti siasinoman, a liklikanda ti panagsisinnuppiat, a bay-anda dagiti dadduma nga aramidenna dagiti kayatda, ken ipakita ti kinapakumbaba kadagiti amin a tattao.
They should not speak badly about anyone, and they should not be argumentative. Tell them to show gentleness and kindness to everyone.
3 Ta iti naminsan ket nagbalintayo nga awanan ti pannakaawat ken nasukir. Naiyaw-awantayo ken nagbalin a tagabu dagiti nadumaduma a tarigagay ken ragragsak. Nagbiagtayo iti dakes ken apal. Narurodtayo ken ginuratayo ti maysa ken maysa.
For there was a time when we too were foolish and disobedient. We were deceived and slaves to various desires and pleasures. We lived wicked lives full of jealousy, hateful people hating one another.
4 Ngem idi nagparang ti kinaimbag ti Dios a manangisalakantayo ken ti ayatna para iti sangkataoan,
But when the goodness and love of God our Savior was revealed, he saved us,
5 saan a babaen kadagiti aramid iti kinalinteg nga inaramidtayo, ngem babaen ti asina nga insalakannatayo. Insalakannatayo babaen iti panagbuggo iti baro a pannakaiyanak ken pannakapabaro babaen iti Espiritu Santo.
not because of anything good that we've done, but because of his mercy. He did this through the cleansing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 Sibabaknang nga inbukbok ti Dios ti Espiritu Santo kadatayo babaen iti Manangisalakantayo a ni Jesu-Cristo.
which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
7 Inaramidna daytoy tapno, iti pannakapalinteg babaen iti paraburna ket agbalintayo a paset iti namnama iti biag nga agnanayon. (aiōnios g166)
Now that we are set right by his grace we have become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Daytoy a mensahe ket mapagtalkan. Kayatko nga agsaoka a sitatalged maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag, tapno dagidiay agtalek iti Dios ket rumegtada kadagiti nasayaat nga ar-aramid nga ikabilna iti sangoananda. Dagitoy a banbanag ket nasayaat ken pakagungunaan kadagiti amin a tattao.
You can trust what I'm saying, and I want you to emphasize these instructions so that those who trust in God will think seriously about them and continue to do good. They are excellent and helpful for everyone.
9 Ngem liklikam dagiti minamaag a panagsusuppiat ken naggapuan ti puli ken panagraranget ken riri maipanggep ti linteg. Dagidiay a banbanag ket awan pategna ken awan pakagungunaanna.
Avoid pointless discussions, and obsessions about ancestry. Don't get into arguments, and avoid fights over the Jewish laws—they're useless and don't help at all.
10 Laksidenyo ti siasinoman nga agar-aramid iti pakaigapuan iti panagsisina kadakayo, kalpasan iti maysa wenno dua a ballaag,
Warn someone who is divisive once, and then again—after that don't pay them any attention,
11 ken ammom a ti kasta a tao ket timmallikod manipud iti umno a wagas ken agbasbasol ken dusdusaenna ti bagina.
realizing that they're perverse and sinful and have condemned themselves.
12 No ibaonko ni Artemas wenno ni Tikico kenka, pardasam ken umayka kaniak idiay Nicopolis nga isu iti ingkeddengko a pagpalabasan ti panawen ti lammiis.
As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, try and come to me at Nicopolis because I'm planning to spend the winter there.
13 Partakam ket ibaonmo ni Zenas, ti nalaing iti linteg, ken ni Apolos, iti wagas nga awan ti pagkuranganda.
Do all you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that they have everything they need.
14 Masapul nga adalen dagiti tattaotayo nga agaramid kadagiti nasayaat nga aramid a makasabet kadagiti kangrunaan a kasapulan tapno saanda nga agbalin a saan a nabunga.
May our people learn the habit of doing good in providing for the daily needs of others. They need to be productive!
15 Amin a kakadduak ket kablaawandaka. Kablaawam dagidiay mangay-ayat kadatayo iti pammati. Parabur ti umadda kadakayo amin.
Everyone here with me sends their greetings. Give our best wishes to those who love us, those who trust in God. May grace be with you all.
