Titus 1
Maori Bible
1 Na Paora, he pononga na te Atua, he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, i runga i te whakapono o te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua, i te matauranga hoki ki ta te pono e rite ai te karakia;
2 I runga ano i te tumanako atu ki te ora tonu, i whakaaria mai nei i mua atu o te ao e te Atua e kore nei e teka;
3 Nana nei i whakakite mai tana kupu i ona wa, ra te kupu i tukua mai ki ahau, he mea whakarite mai na te Atua, na to tatou Kaiwhakaora;
4 Ki a Taituha, ki taku tamaiti pono i runga i to tatou whakapono tahi: Kia tau te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na Karaiti Ihu, na to tatou kaiwhakaora.
5 Ko te mea tenei i waiho atu ai koe e ahau ki Kariti, kia whakatikaia ai e koe nga mea i mahue, kia whakaritea ai ano hoki he kaumatua ki ia pa, ki ia pa, kia pera ai me taku i whakatakoto atu ai ki a koe:
6 Ki te mea he tangata kahore e ekengia e te kupu, he tahu no te wahine kotahi, he tamariki whakapono ana, kahore e korerotia to ratou toreretanga ki te kino, kahore e tutu.
7 Ko te tikanga hoki mo te pihopa, kia kaua e ekengia e te kupu, kia rite ki ta te Atua tuari: ehara i te mea tohe ki tana ake, kahore ona aritarita, kahore ana kakai waina, kahore ana papatu, kahore e whai i te taonga he;
8 Engari e atawhai ana i te manuhiri, e aroha ana ki te pai, e whai whakaaro ana, e tika ana, e tapu ana, e pehi ana i ona hiahia;
9 E u ana te pupuri i te kupu pono i whakaakona atu na, kia taea ai e ia, i te mea ka tika nei tana whakaako, te whakahauhau, te turaki ano i ta te hunga e totohe mai ana.
10 He tokomaha hoki te hunga tutu, korero teka noa, tinihanga; nui atu ia o te hunga o te kotinga,
11 Me kuku o ratou waha; riro pu hoki etahi whare te whakaputa ke e ratou, e whakaako ana i nga mea e kore e tika, he whakaaro hoki ki te taonga he.
12 I mea tetahi o ratou, he poropiti no ratou ake, He teka tonu ta nga Kariti, he kararehe kino, he pukukai, he mangere.
13 Ka pono tenei korero. Na reira kia koi tau kupu riri ki a ratou; kia ora ai to ratou whakapono;
14 Kei tahuri hoki ratou ki nga kupu tito a nga Hurai, ki nga ture a nga tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te pono.
15 He ma nga mea katoa ki te hunga ma: tena ki te hunga poke, kahore nei o ratou whakapono, kahore he mea ma: heoi he mea poke o ratou whakaaro, o ratou hinengaro.
16 Ki ta ratou ki kua matau ratou ki te Atua; heoi ko a ratou mahi hei whakakahore ki a ia, he hunga whakarihariha ratou, he hunga tutu, e kore ano e tikangatia mo tetahi mahi pai.
Titus 1
New International Version
Titus 1
New International Version
1 Paul, a servant of God(A) and an apostle(B) of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth(C) that leads to godliness(D)— 2 in the hope of eternal life,(E) which God, who does not lie,(F) promised before the beginning of time,(G) 3 and which now at his appointed season(H) he has brought to light(I) through the preaching entrusted to me(J) by the command of God(K) our Savior,(L)
4 To Titus,(M) my true son(N) in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.(O)
Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good(P)
5 The reason I left you in Crete(Q) was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders(R) in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless,(S) faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[b] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer(T) manages God’s household,(U) he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.(V) 8 Rather, he must be hospitable,(W) one who loves what is good,(X) who is self-controlled,(Y) upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly(Z) to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine(AA) and refute those who oppose it.
Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk(AB) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.(AC) 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(AD) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(AE) has said it: “Cretans(AF) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(AG) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(AH) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(AI) or to the merely human commands(AJ) of those who reject the truth.(AK) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(AL) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(AM) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(AN) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(AO) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(AP)
