Tituj 1
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1PAULUJ ladun Kot o wanporon en Iejuj Krijtuj amen, duen pojon en me pilipildar en Kot akan o duen erpit en melel on pai ren Kot;
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,
2O kaporoporeki maur joutuk, me Kot jo likam inaukidar mon tapin kaua.
2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
3A ni a anjau a kotin kajanjaledar a majan ki padak, me ko on ia, duen kujoned en Kot atail Jaunkamaur.
3In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
4On Tituj nai jeri melel ni ata pojon ta ieu: Mak o popol jan ren Kot Jam o Krijtuj Iejuj atail Jaunkamaur en mi re om!
4To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
5let karepen ai kamodan uk edi Kreta, pwe koe en kapwaiada, me kaikenta wiauier o kajapwilada jaunkoa kan ni kanim karoj, due i kakaliki on uk.
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.
6Jaunkoa amen en indand mau, o warok en li ta men, o me na jeri kan pojonla, o jo kaindandeki, me re kamom de jopeik.
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.
7Pwe pijop en punla, duen jaunkoa en Kot amen, der katiwo, der purianikom, der kamom wain, der pamara, der norok moni.
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.
8A ren apwali men kairu o pok on me mau, o kanonama, o pun, o jaraui, o makelekel.
8Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
9Kolekoleta majan, me udan pun o koiok on padak, pwen kak on panauiki padak en kamaur o kapun on me katiwo kan.
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.
10Pwe ir me toto me malaun o kapei lokaia o me kaweid japun, iet eten, kijan men jirkomjaij.
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11Me mau on au ar en pinapinla, pwe re kin kawukila toun im toto, o me kin padapadaki, me jota mau, pweki moni.
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12Amen irail, pein arail jaukop amen inda: Men Kreta me kalap likam, man jued o laualo, nain mana.
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13Kadede pot et me melel. Ari, i me koe en kapun kelail on irail, pwe ren kelailada ni pojon.
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14O ren der injenoki en Juj oko ar kajoi mal akan o kujoned en aramaj akan, me muei jan melel.
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15Karoj me kon on makelekel akan, a jota me kon on me jamin o jo pojon akan, pwe arail lamelame o pil injen arail me jamin.
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.
16Re kin inda, me re aja Kot, a ni ar wiawia kan re kin ponjaja i. Irail meid jued, o jopeik, o jo koiok on jon en wiawia mau karoj.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
