1Paul, 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,
1Katar o Pavlo, ek sluga le Devlesko, ai ek apostle le Jesus Kristosko. Simas thodino te ingerav o pachamos kodolen kai O Del alosardia, ai te sikavav lenge o chachimos kai si ando pachamos;
2in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;
2saxke te zhanen ke si le o traio kai chi mai getolpe, ke O Del chi xoxavel, wo shinadia amenge kado traio mai anglal sar te avel e lumia;
3but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
3Wo kerdia te zhanen e chachi vriama pala leske Vorba. O Del, kodo kai ankalavel ame andal bezexa, phendia mange te phenav kado divano.
4to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
4Tradav tuke kado lil, Titus, murho chacho shav ando pachamos kai si ame andek than: O Del O Dat ai le Devles Jesus Kristo amaro skepitori, te del tu o lashimos ai e pacha.
5For 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;
5Me meklem tu ande Crete, saxke e lashares so mai trobul te avel lashardo, ai te thos manushen kai den duma pa Del ande swako foro, ai de tu goji kal dieli kai sichardem tu.
6if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
6Ek manush kai del duma pa Del trobul te avel ek manush kai nai dosh pe leste; ai trobul te avel o rhom ieka rhomniako, ai leske shave trobul te pachanpe ando Del, ai na te mothon le manush ke bi malades traiin vai ke chi pachan o mui.
7For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
7Ke o manush kai inkerel e khangeri trobul te kopaiilpe andal dieli le Devleski, no anda kodia trobul te na avel dosha pe leste. Ai chi trobul te avel barimatango, ai chi te xoliavol, ai chi te machol, ai chi te marelpe, ai chi trobul te niril love le chorimasa.
8but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
8Numa trobul te premil mishto kodolen kai aven leste, ai te avel leske drago o mishtimos. Ai trobul te avel lasho, chacho, ai vuzho, ai te arakhelpe.
9holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.
9Ai trobul te inkerel mishto e chachi Vorba le Devleski sar sas sichardi, ai kadia sai zhutil la kolavren le chache sicharimos, ai vi sai te sikavela lenge shipki ai so chi haliaren.
10For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,
10Ke si but ai mai but mashkar le Zhiduvuria kai dinepe le Devleske, won chi lenpe palai Vorba le Devleski, ai rimon le narodos penge bi malade divanonsa.
11whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
11Trobul te phanaven lenge muia, ke won rimon bute familian, ai sicharen so chi trobul, te nirin love le chorimasa.
12One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
12Iek andal Cretan, iek anda lenge profeturia phendia, "Ke le Cretan de sar godi sas, xoxamle sas, ai vi nasul, ai vi dzile, ai khandine kai ferdi te xan, den pe goji."
13This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
13Ai so phendia kado profeto o cchachimos sas. Anda kodia na dara, phen lenge lenge dosha, saxke te aven le iek lasho pachamos,
14not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
14ai te na mai lenpe palal paramicha le Zhidovisko, ai palal zakonuria kai kerde le manush kai durile katar o chachimos.
15To 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.
15Swako fielo vuzho le manushenge kai si vuzhe; numa kanchi nai vuzho kodolenge kai nai vuzhe ai kai chi pachanpe, ke lenge goji ai lenge ginduria nai vuzhe.
16They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
16Won mothon ke zhanen le Devles; numa lengo traio sikavel ke chi zhanen les. Won nai lashe (bezexale le), ai chi pachan o mui, ai nashti keren chi iek mishtimos.
