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,

¹PAVLEC Iaincoaren cerbitzari eta Iesus Christen Apostolu denac, Iaincoaren elegituén fedearen eta pietatearen tenorez den eguiaren araura,

²in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

²Vicitze eternalaren sperançacotzát, cein promettatu vkan baitu Iainco gueçurti eztenac dembora eternalén altzinetic, eta manifestatu bere demboretan:

³but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

³Diot bere hitza, Iainco gure Saluadorearen ordenançaren tenorez niri cargutan eman içan çaitadan predicationeaz: Tite neure seme eguiazcoari gure artean commun den fedearen arauez.

⁴Gratia dela hirequin misericordia eta baquea Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaun gure Saluadoreaganic.

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;

⁵Causa hunegatic vtzi vkan aut Cretan goitico diraden gaucén corrigitzen continua deçançát, eta ordena ditzán hiriz hiri Ancianoac, nic ordenatu drauadan beçala:

⁶if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

⁶Baldin cembeit bada irreprehensibleric emazte bakoitz baten senhar, haour fidelac dituelaric, ez dissolutionez accusatuac, edo rangea ecin daitezquenac.

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;

⁷Ecen Ipizpicuac behar dic içan irreprehensible, Iaincoaren etchearen gobernari anço, eztén porfidioso, ez coleric, ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabazte deshonestaren guthicioso:

⁸but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled;

⁸Baina estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, onén onhetsle, çuhur, iusto, saindu, moderatu:

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.

⁹Instructionearen araura den hitz fidelaren eduquile, doctrina sanoz exhorta-ere ahal deçançát, eta contrastatzen diradenac vençut.

¹⁰For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

¹⁰Ecen baduc anhitz rangea ecin daitenic eta vanoqui minçaçaleric, eta adimenduén seduciçaleric, principalqui Circoncisionetic diradenac: hæy ahoa boçatu behar ciayec:

¹¹whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

¹¹Hec etcheac ossoqui erautzen citié, behar eztiraden gauçác iracasten dituztela irabazte deshonestaren causaz.

¹²One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”

¹²Erran dic hayén arteco cembeitec, hayén propheta propriac, Cretatarrac bethi gueçurti, bestia gaitzac, sabel naguiac.

¹³This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

¹³Testimoniage haur eguiazcoa duc: causa hunegatic reprehenditzac hec viciqui, fedean sano diradençát:

¹⁴not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

¹⁴Behatzen eztutelaric Iuduén fabletara, eta eguiatic aldaratzen diraden guiçonén manuetara.

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.

¹⁵Gauça guciac chahuendaco chahu dituc baina satsuendaco eta infidelendaco eztuc deus, chahuric, aitzitic dituc satsu hayén adimendua eta conscientiá.

¹⁶They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

¹⁶Professione eguiten dié Iaincoa eçagutzen dutela, baina obraz vkatzen dié, abominable diradelaric eta desobedient eta obra on orotara reprobatuac.
