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—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that 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 life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (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 hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:

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.

Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] 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, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —

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 anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;

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 it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

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

But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,

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 fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.

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, especially 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 needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.

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.”

Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:

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

This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,

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

Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning 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.

All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;

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

God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
