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,
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
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'.
2in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
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.
3but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
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'.
4to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
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.
5I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
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'.
6if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
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.
7For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
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.
8but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled;
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.
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 those who contradict him.
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.
10For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
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.
11whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12Ria-hana hadua nabi to Kreta owi to mpo'uli' hewa toi: "To Kreta-le, paka' to moboa', dike' to mau, jampa pai' lose."
12One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13Wae mpu'u-di! Toe pai' kana nuparesai' mpu'u-ra to Kreta tetura ria, bona tida-ra mepangala' hi tudui' to makono.
13This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14Paresai' -ra bona neo' -pi rapangala' jarita to Yahudi to ratamangko-wadi pai' parenta-parenta to ngkai manusia' to mposapuaka tudui' to makono.
14not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
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.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
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'.
16They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
