TITUS 1

Tabi bani si Titus

1 Humbani si Paulus, juak-juak ni Naibata anjaha apostel ni Jesus Kristus, laho manogu-nogu halak na pinilih ni Naibata hubani haporsayaon ampa pangarusion bani hasintongan in, na mardomu hubani hadaulaton,

2 maronjolan hubani pangarapan bani hagoluhan na so ra bois, na dob humbani mulani iparbagah Naibata, na so siparladung in,

3 anjaha ipatalar do hataNi in bani panorangni, marhitei parambilanon na dob niondoskonNi bakku, romban hubani pangkatahon ni Naibata, Sipaluah hita, (Ep. 1:9, 10; 1 Tim. 1:1, 11.)

4 marayak si Titus, anakku na tongon, marhitei haporsayaon riap in: Idop ni uhur ma bam ampa damei humbani Naibata Bapa ampa humbani Kristus Jesus, Sipaluah hita. (1 Tim. 1:2; 2 Tim. 1:2.)

Siparlahouhonon ni sada sintua

5 Ase hutadingkon pe ho i Kreta, ai ma, ase ipatorsa ho horja na tading ope, anjaha ipabangkit ho sintua bani ganup huta, songon na dob huaturhon bam, (Lah. 14:23; 2 Tim. 2:2.)

6 ai ma dalahi na so dong sihataon bani, paramangon ni sada naboru, pardakdanak na porsaya, na so adong pamandangon bani parlahou anjaha seng jungil. (1 Tim. 3:2-4.)

7 Ia parmahan, sijolom anak kunsi ni Naibata, ulang ma panurakon; ulang sihorjahon uhur-uhurni, ulang pargila-gila, ulang parmabuk, ulang paringor, ulang na marpansarian humbani na so dalanni, (1 Kor. 4:1; 2 Tim. 2:24.)

8 tapi sipartamuei ma, na malas uhur bani na madear, siparuhur, na bonar, na pansing, sirajai diri,

9 na marsijoloman bani hata na sintong in, domu bani pangajaran in, ase margogoh ia, mangojur marhitei pangajaran na pintor in, age maminsang sipanlawan.

Siparpodah na kahou i Kreta

10 Tapi buei do halak, na jungil, sibuei sahap ampa na pakahouhon, tarlobih humbani parugama Jahudi.

11 Maningon pasipon do pamangan ni sidea, ai igeori sidea do bulat-bulat rumah tangga marhitei na mangajarhon na so patut, laho mambuat duit sihailahononkon. (2 Tim. 3:6.)

12 Sahalak humbani sidea, ai ma nabi ni sidea sandiri, mangkatahon: Halak Kreta, parladung do ai tong, binatang panoroh, sitahar boltok.

13 Sintong do hasaksian ai; halani ai gomos ma paminsangmu bani sidea, ase dear sidea ibagas haporsayaon, (2 Tim. 4:2.)

14 anjaha ulang be ipatangi-tangi sidea turi-turian ni halak Jahudi pakon titah-titah ni jolma, na marbalik humbani hasintongan in. (1 Tim. 4:7.)

15 Borsih do haganup bani halak na borsih; tapi bani halak na butak, na so porsaya, seng dong na borsih, ai domma butak uhur ni sidea ampa panggora ni uhur ni sidea. (Mat. 15:11; Rom 14:20.)
16 Ihatahon sidea, domma itanda Naibata, tapi iparnalang do Ia marhitei horja ni sidea; ai hagigi do sidea anjaha seng sipambalosi, seng tarpakei bani atap aha pe horja na madear.

Titus 1

Salutation

1 From Paul,t a slavets of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faitht of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the ages began.t3 But now in his own timet he has made his message evident through the preaching I was entrusted with according to the command of God our Savior.

4 To Titus, my genuine son in a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior!

Titus’ Task on Crete

5 The reason I left you in Crete was to set in order the remaining matters and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.6 An elder must be blameless,t the husband of one wife,t with faithful childrent who cannot be charged with dissipation or rebellion.7 For the overseers must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work,t not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.8 Instead he must be hospitable, devoted to what is good, sensible, upright, devout, and self-controlled.

9 He must hold firmly to the faithful message as it has been taught,t so that he will be able to give exhortation in such healthy teachingt and correct those who speak against it.
10 For there are manys rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,t11 who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.12 A certain one of them, in fact, one of their own prophets, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”s13 Such testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply that they may be healthy in the faith14 and not pay attention to Jewish mythss and commands of people who reject the truth.15 All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

16 They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
