Titus 1
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
1Ko au Paula, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he tui ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni ʻaia ʻoku taau mo e anga fakaʻotua;
2In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
2ʻI he ʻamanaki lelei ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito loi, ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani;
3But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
3Ka kuo fakahā ʻi hono kuonga totonu ʻa ʻene folofola ʻi he malanga, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate au, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
4Ke ʻia Taitusi, ko e foha moʻoni ʻo taau mo e tui ʻatautolu kotoa pē, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau Fakamoʻui.
5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
5Ko e meʻa ni naʻaku tuku ai koe ʻi Keliti, koeʻuhi ke ke fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻosi, ʻo fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate koe:
6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
6Kapau ʻoku taʻehala ha tokotaha, koe husepāniti ʻoe fefine pe taha, ʻoku tui ʻene fānau, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokia ʻi ha fakamaveuveu pe ha talangataʻa.
7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
7He ʻoku totonu ke taʻehalaia ʻae tauhi, ʻo taau mo e tauhi koloa ʻae ʻOtua; ʻo ʻikai fai ki hono loto, pe ʻitangofua, pe tokanga ki he uaine, pe faʻa tā, pe tokanga ki he koloa ʻuli;
8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
8Kae ʻofa ia ki he fai angalelei, pea ʻofa ki he kakai angalelei, ke ne anga fakapotopoto, mo angatotonu, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angamaau;
9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
9ʻO ne puke ke maʻu ʻae lea moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko hono akonekina, koeʻuhi ke ne faʻa fai ke enginaki mo valoki tonu ʻae kau lea kovi ʻaki ʻae akonaki totonu.
10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
10He ʻoku ai ʻae tokolahi ʻoku angatuʻu, ko e kau launoa mo e kau kākā, pea ʻoku tuʻu muʻa ai ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu:
11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
11ʻAkinautolu ʻoku totonu ke tāpuni honau ngutu; ʻoku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa, ʻo ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ka nau maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻuli.
12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
12Ko honau tokotaha, ko e tangata kikite pe ʻonautolu, naʻe pehē, “ʻOku loi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai Keliti, ko e fanga manu fekai mo kovi, ko e kau faʻa kai fakapikopiko.”
13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
13Ko e fakamoʻoni ni ʻoku moʻoni. Ko ia ke ke valoki māsila ʻakinautolu, ke nau haohaoa ʻi he tui;
14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
14ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa fakaSiu, mo e ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku afe mei he moʻoni.
15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
15ʻOku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa: ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate kinautolu ʻoku anga ʻuli mo taʻetui; he ko honau loto mo honau ʻatamai kuo ʻuliʻi.
16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him , being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
16ʻOku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngaue ʻoku nau siʻaki ia, ʻoku nau anga fakalielia, mo talangataʻa, pea taʻehafifili lelei ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
