¹Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus, batua Alata'ala pai' suro Yesus Kristus. Na'ongko' -a jadi' suro-na, pai' nahubui-a mporohoi pepangala' tauna to napelihi-ramo Alata'ala. Nahubui wo'o-a mpotudui' -ra tudui' to makono. Ane tatuku' tudui' to makono toe, mengkoru-ta hi Alata'ala,

¹¶ 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;

²duu' -na mporata-tamo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na, hewa to najanci-taka. Apa' kako'ia-na napajadi' dunia', mojanci-i kanawai' -ta katuwua' to lompe'-- pai' Alata'ala uma-i-hana moboa'.

²I 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;

³Jadi', hi tempo to napakatantu, napopo'incai mpu'u-tamo ohea mporata katuwua' to lompe', apa' nahubui-ramo suro-na mpopalele Lolita-na. Pai' aku' toi-mi hadua to mpopalele Lolita-na toe, ntuku' hawa' Alata'ala, Magau' Tompohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta.

³Nana 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;

⁴Sura toi kupakatu hi iko Titus, to kuponcawa ana' inote-ku moto-moko apa' hampepangalaa' -tamo. Wori' tabe: mekakae-a hi Alata'ala to Tuama pai' hi Kristus Yesus Magau' Tompohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta, kuperapi' bona nagane' -ko ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -ko kalompea' tuwu'.

⁴Ki 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.

⁵Patuju-ku mpohubui-ko tida hi Kreta, bona iko-damo mpo'atoro' pobago-ta to ko'ia oti. Jadi', hewa to oti-mi kuhawai' -koko, mpo'ongko' -ra pangkeni-pangkeni agama hi butu-butu ngata hi retu.

⁵¶ 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:

⁶Ane tauna to jadi' pangkeni agama, kana tauna to uma kasalaia' gau' -ra, to motobinei hadua-wadi, ana' -ra kana mepangala' wo'o hi Kristus, pai' bela-ra ana' to rakahangai' to sapa pai' to mekahia'.

⁶¶ 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.

⁷Apa' tauna to jadi' pangkeni hi rala agama-ta, pahawaa' to mpo'urusi pobago Alata'ala. Toe pai' kana to uma ria kasalaia' -ra: uma ma'ala to molangko nono ba to jolia moroe, uma ma'ala topalangu-langu ba to ntora motuda' pai' to doko' doi-wadi.

⁷Ko 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;

⁸Tauna to nu'ongko' jadi' pangkeni agama, kana tauna to jole' metorata, tida mpobabehi to lompe', monoto pai' monoa' nono-ra, moroli' po'ingku-ra pai' to mpokule' mpengkatarii kahinaa nono-ra to dada'a.

⁸Engari 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;

⁹Kana moroho pongkakamu-ra tudui' to tapangala', hewa to oti-mi ratudui' -taka, bona ra'inca mpotudui' tauna tudui' to makono pai' mpo'apui nono-ra, pai' ra'inca wo'o mpokamaro-ra to mposapuaka tudui' -ta.

⁹E 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.

¹⁰Patuju-ku mpo'uli' -koko toe-e, apa' wori' -ramo tauna to mpo'ewa tudui' -ta, peliu-liu-nami hira' to mpotuku' ada petini' Atura Musa. Mekahia' -ra, pai' mpobagiu doo-ra hante tudui' -ra to uma ria kalaua-na toe.

¹⁰He tokomaha hoki te hunga tutu, korero teka noa, tinihanga; nui atu ia o te hunga o te kotinga,

¹¹Tauna to hewa toera kana ratagi, neo' nupiliu-ra metudui'! Apa' wori' ntomi tauna to jadi' ingu' mpo'epe tudui' -ra to uma tumotoa. Pai' patuju-ra metudui', bona mporata gaji' -ra-wadi. Uma-hawo lompe' kehi to hewa toe.

¹¹Me 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.

¹²Ria-hana hadua nabi to Kreta owi to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "To Kreta-le, paka' to moboa', dike' to mau, jampa pai' lose."

¹²I mea tetahi o ratou, he poropiti no ratou ake, He teka tonu ta nga Kariti, he kararehe kino, he pukukai, he mangere.

¹³Wae mpu'u-di! Toe pai' kana nuparesai' mpu'u-ra to Kreta tetura ria, bona tida-ra mepangala' hi tudui' to makono.

¹³Ka pono tenei korero. Na reira kia koi tau kupu riri ki a ratou; kia ora ai to ratou whakapono;

¹⁴Paresai' -ra bona neo' -pi rapangala' jarita to Yahudi to ratamangko-wadi pai' parenta-parenta to ngkai manusia' to mposapuaka tudui' to makono.

¹⁴Kei tahuri hoki ratou ki nga kupu tito a nga Hurai, ki nga ture a nga tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te pono.

¹⁵Hi tauna to moroli' nono-ra, uma ria napa-napa to rapalii'. Aga tauna to dada'a nono-ra pai' to uma mepangala', uma ria to moroli', apa' bengku' ami' -mi pekiri-ra, pai' rapo'ihi moto-mi gau' -ra to dada'a, duu' -na uma-pi rarasai kamasala' -ra.

¹⁵He 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.

¹⁶Ra'uli' -rana, ra'inca moto-i Alata'ala, ntaa' monoto-midi kaboa' -rae, apa' po'ingku-ra uma mpotuku' konoa-na. Babo' lia kehi-ra hi poncilo-na. Uma-ra dota rahawai', pai' uma rakulei' mpobabehi kehi napa-napa to lompe'.

¹⁶Ki 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.
