Tito 1

1 Ni Pablo, maysa nga adipen ti Dios ken apostol ni Jesu-Cristo, para iti pammati dagiti napili a tattao ti Dios ken ti pannakaammo iti kinapudno nga umanamong iti kinanasantoan.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

2 Adda dagitoy iti talged iti biag nga agnanayon nga inkari ti Dios, nga awanan ti panagul-ulbod, sakbay kadagiti amin a panawen ti tiempo. (aiōnios g166)

in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; (aiōnios g166)

3 Iti umno a tiempo, inwaragawagna ti saona babaen iti mensahe nga intalekna kaniak nga idanonko. Masapul nga aramidek daytoy babaen iti bilin ti Dios a manangisalakantayo.

but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

4 Kenka Tito, maysa a pudno nga anak a lalaki iti kadawyan a pammatitayo. Parabur, asi, ken kapia manipud iti Dios Ama, kenni Cristo Jesus a manangisalakantayo.

to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 Gapu iti daytoy a panggep nga imbatika idiay Creta, tapno maiyurnosmo dagiti banbanag a saan pay a nalpas, ken mangdutok kadagiti panglakayen iti tunggal siudad kas imbilinko kenka.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;

6 Ti maysa a panglakayen ket masapul nga awan pakababalawanna, asawa a lalaki iti maysa a babai, addaan iti napudno nga annak a saan a maibilang a kas nadangkes wenno saan a disiplinado.

if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.

7 Kasapulan para iti agay-aywan, kas mangimatmaton iti bumalay ti Dios, nga awan pakababalawanna. Masapul a saan isuna a naariwawa wenno saan a maanawa. Masapul a saan isuna a nalaka nga agpungtot, saan a naigamer iti arak, saan a mannakiriri, ken saan a naagum a tao.

For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;

8 Ngem ketdi, masapul a managsangaili isuna, maysa a gayyem ti naimbag. Masapul a nanakem isuna, nalinteg, nadiosan, ken managteppel.

but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;

9 Masapul a salimetmetanna a nalaing ti mensahe a mapagtalkan a naisuro, tapno mabalinna a pakireden dagiti dadduma babaen iti naimbag a sursuro ken aturenna dagiti mangsuppiat kenkuana.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.

10 Ta adu dagiti nasukir a tattao, nangnangruna dagidiay adda iti pannakakugit. Awan serserbina dagiti sasaoda. Allilawen ken idalanda dagiti tattao iti dakes a pagturungan.

For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,

11 Kasapulan a mapasardeng isuda. Isursuroda dagiti saanda koma nga isuro para iti nakababain a gunguna ken pagsisinninaenda dagiti sibubukel a pamilia.

whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

12 Kinuna ti maysa kadakuada, maysa a nasirib a tao kadakuada, “Dagiti taga -Creta ket saan nga agsarday a managulbod, dakes ken napeggad nga ay-ayup, dagiti sadut a nararawet.”

One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.

13 Pudno daytoy a salaysay, isu a babalawem ida a siiinget tapno nasembengda koma iti pammati.

This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

14 Saanda nga ipangag dagiti parparbo nga istoria dagiti Judio wenno dagiti bilbilin dagiti lallaki a timmallikod iti kinapudno.

not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

15 Kadagiti nasin-aw, amin a banbanag ket nasin-aw. Ngem kadagiti narugitan ken saan a mamatpati, awan iti nasin-aw. Ta narugitanen dagiti panunot ken konsensiada.

To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

16 Ibagbagada nga ammoda ti Dios, ngem ilibakda isuna babaen kadagiti aramidda. Makarurod ken nasukirda. Saanda a maanamongan iti aniaman a nasayaat nga aramid.

They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
