Titu 1
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Sithaw ih tamna, Kri Jesu mah patoeh ih kami, Sithaw mah qoih ih kaminawk loe tanghaih tawnh moe, Sithaw hoi loktang to panoek han oh;
1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
2lok amlai thai ai, dungzan kahing oephaih, Sithaw loe long om ai na hoiah lokkamhaih to sak boeh;
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3toe atue phak naah loe lok taphonghaih rang hoiah Anih ih lok to amtueng boeh, to lok loe aicae pahlongkung Sithaw ih lokpaekhaih baktih toengah kai Pawl khaeah ang paek boeh,
3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4tanghaih bangah ka capa, Titu khaeah, Ampa Sithaw, aicae pahlongkung Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih, amlunghaih hoi monghaih to om nasoe.
4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5Sak han ka ngaih hmuennawk to sak moe, avang kruekah kacoehtanawk qoih han ih ni Crete prae ah kang caehtaak.
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
6To baktih toksak han koeh kami loe coek koi om ai kami, zu maeto tawn kami, anih ih caanawk loe tuinuen set o, lok tahngai o ai, tiah kaminawk mah thuihsawk ih kami hoi oep kaom ai kami ah oh o han om ai.
6An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
7Kricaabu zaehoikung loe Sithaw ih toksah kami ah oh baktih toengah, coek koi om ai kami ah oh han angaih; angmah taham poek ai kami, poek amthueng ai kami, mu nae ai kami, angzoeh koeh ai kami, kaciim ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa koeh hmoek ai kami;
7As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
8angvin khenzawn thaih kami, kami kahoih hoiah angkom koeh kami, poek angsum thaih kami, poektoeng kami, kaciim ah khosah kami, nongpa nongpata zaesakhaih angsum thaih kami ah oh han angaih,
8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9angmah amtuk ih oep kathok loknawk to kacakah angdoe haih kami, katoeng patukhaih lok hoiah lok angaek koeh kaminawk ih palungthin to pazawk moe, thapaek thaih kami ah oh han angaih.
9He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
10Lok tahngai ai, atho kaom ai lokthui kaminawk hoi aling kop kaminawk oh o mangh, lokpui koekah tangzat hin aat kaminawk thungah pop o aep:
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11nihcae ih pakha to tamuep pae han angaih, nihcae loe kaciim ai loklam hoiah hak ih phoisa to koeh o pongah, patuk koi ai hmuennawk to patuk o moe, imthung takoh boih amro o sak.
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12Angmacae thung ih kami maeto ah kaom, angmacae ih tahmaa maeto mah loe, Crete kaminawk loe lok amlai kami, moi kasan palungthin tawn kami, caaknaek amoeh kami ah oh o, tiah thuih.
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13Hae tiah thuih ih lok loe amsoem. Nihcae mah katoeng tanghaih pazui o thai hanah, nihcae to kahoih ah thuitaek ah;
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14loktang angqoi taak, Judahnawk ih ruicinawk hoi kami mah thuih rumram ih loknawk to tahngai pae hmah.
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15Kaciim kami hanah loe hmuennawk boih ciim: toe kaciim ai kami, katang ai kaminawk hanah loe tidoeh ciim ai; a poek o haih hoi kasae kahoih panoekhaih palung doeh ciim ai.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16Nihcae loe Sithaw panoek kami baktiah angsak o; toe a sak o ih tok mah Anih panoek kami na ai ni, tiah amtuengsak, nihcae loe panuet thok kami, lok tahngai ai kami, hoihhaih hmuen maeto doeh sah thai ai kami ah ni oh o.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
