World English 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, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2O kaporoporeki maur joutuk, me Kot jo likam inaukidar mon tapin kaua.
2in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t 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.
3but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment 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 according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 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.
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—
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.
6if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7Pwe pijop en punla, duen jaunkoa en Kot amen, der katiwo, der purianikom, der kamom wain, der pamara, der norok moni.
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;
8A ren apwali men kairu o pok on me mau, o kanonama, o pun, o jaraui, o makelekel.
8but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9Kolekoleta majan, me udan pun o koiok on padak, pwen kak on panauiki padak en kamaur o kapun on me katiwo kan.
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.
10Pwe ir me toto me malaun o kapei lokaia o me kaweid japun, iet eten, kijan men jirkomjaij.
10For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, 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.
11whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12Amen irail, pein arail jaukop amen inda: Men Kreta me kalap likam, man jued o laualo, nain mana.
12One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13Kadede pot et me melel. Ari, i me koe en kapun kelail on irail, pwe ren kelailada ni pojon.
13This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may 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.
14not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from 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 those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience 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 that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
