¹ Paul, 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;

² Ni ireti ìye ainipẹkun, ti Ọlọrun, Ẹniti kò le ṣèké, ti ṣe ileri ṣaju ipilẹṣẹ aiye;

² In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

³ Ṣugbọn ni akokò tirẹ̀ o fi ọ̀rọ rẹ̀ hàn ninu iwasu, ti a fi le mi lọwọ gẹgẹ bi aṣẹ Ọlọrun Olugbala wa;

³ But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

⁴ Si Titu, ọmọ mi nitõtọ nipa igbagbọ́ ti iṣe ti gbogbo enia: Ore-ọfẹ, ãnu, ati alafia, lati ọdọ Ọlọrun Baba wá ati Kristi Jesu Olugbala wa.

⁴ To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

⁵ Nitori idi eyi ni mo ṣe fi ọ silẹ ni Krete, ki iwọ ki o le ṣe eto ohun ti o kù, ki o si yan awọn alagba ni olukuluku ilu, bi mo ti paṣẹ fun ọ.

⁵ For 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:

⁶ Bi ẹnikan ba ṣe alailẹgan, ọkọ aya kan, ti o ni ọmọ ti o gbagbọ́, ti a kò fi sùn fun wọbia, ti nwọn kò si jẹ alagidi.

⁶ If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

⁷ Nitori o yẹ ki biṣopu jẹ alailẹgàn, bi iriju Ọlọrun; ki o má jẹ aṣe-tinu-ẹni, oninu-fùfu, ọmuti, aluni, olojukokoro;

⁷ For 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;

⁸ Bikoṣe olufẹ alejò ṣiṣe, olufẹ awọn enia rere, alairekọja, olõtọ, ẹni mimọ́, ẹni iwọntunwọnsi;

⁸ But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

⁹ Ti o ndì ọ̀rọ otitọ mu ṣinṣin eyiti iṣe gẹgẹ bi ẹ̀kọ́, ki on ki o le mã gbani-niyanju ninu ẹ̀kọ́ ti o yè kõro, ki o si le mã da awọn asọrọ-odi lẹbi.

⁹ Holding 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.

¹⁰ Nitoripe ọpọlọpọ awọn alagídi, awọn asọ̀rọ asan, ati awọn ẹlẹtàn ni mbẹ, papa awọn ti ikọla:

¹⁰ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

¹¹ Awọn ẹniti a kò le ṣaipa li ẹnu mọ, nitoriti wọn nda odidi agbo ilé rú, ti nwọn nkọni ni ohun ti kò yẹ nitori ere aitọ́.

¹¹ Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

¹² Ọkan ninu wọn, ani woli awọn tikarawọn, wipe, Eke ni awọn ará Krete nigbagbogbo, ẹranko buburu, ọlẹ alajẹki.

¹² One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

¹³ Otitọ li ẹrí yi. Nitorina bá wọn wi gidigidi, ki nwọn ki o le yè kõro ni igbagbọ́;

¹³ This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

¹⁴ Ki nwọn máṣe fiyesi ìtan lasan ti awọn Ju, ati ofin awọn enia ti nwọn yipada kuro ninu otitọ.

¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

¹⁵ Ohun gbogbo ni o mọ́ fun awọn ẹniti o mọ́, ṣugbọn fun awọn ti a sọ di ẹlẹgbin ati awọn alaigbagbọ́ kò si ohun ti o mọ́; ṣugbọn ati inu ati ẹ̀ri-ọkan wọn li a sọ di ẹgbin.

¹⁵ Unto 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.

¹⁶ Nwọn jẹwọ pe nwọn mọ̀ Ọlọrun; ṣugbọn nipa iṣẹ nwọn nsẹ́ ẹ, nwọn jẹ ẹni irira, ati alaigbọran, ati niti iṣẹ rere gbogbo alainilari.

¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
