Titus 3

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

Fè yo chonje se pou yo soumèt devan tout chèf ak tout otorite, pou yo obeyi yo, pou yo toujou pare pou fè tou sa ki byen.

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

Yo pa dwe nan pale moun mal, yo pa dwe nan fè kont ak pesonn. Se pou yo gen pasyans ak tout moun, se pou yo aji ak dousè ak tout moun.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Paske, nou menm tou, nan tan lontan nou te tankou moun fou, nou pa t' obeyisan devan Bondye, nou te tankou moun ki pèdi chemen yo. Nou te esklav tout kalite move dezi ak move plezi. Nou t'ap viv ak mechanste, ak jalouzi nan kè nou. Moun te rayi nou, epi nou menm, nou te rayi yo tou.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Men, lè Bondye fè nou wè jan li gen bon kè, jan li renmen tout moun,

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

li te delivre nou. Li pa t' delivre nou paske nou te fè kèk bagay ki bon, men paske li menm li te gen pitye pou nou. Li delivre nou lè li lave nou, li voye pouvwa Sentespri li nan nou pou chanje nou nèt, pou n' te ka viv yon lòt jan.

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Bondye voye Sentespri li sou nou an kantite, gremesi Jezi, Kris la, ki delivre nou.

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Avèk favè sa a Bondye fè nou an, li fè nou gras. Koulye a nou ka resevwa sa n'ap tann lan: lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Sa se pawòl sèten. Mwen ta renmen ou peze sou bagay sa yo anpil pou tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye ka okipe tout tan yo ap fè sa ki byen. Se bagay konsa ki bon, ki kapab sèvi tout moun.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Pa antre nan okenn vye diskisyon san sans, ni nan chache konnen non gran granparan moun, ni nan chache kont, ni nan goumen pou lalwa Moyiz la. Bagay sa yo pa sèvi anyen, yo pa vo anyen.

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Si yon moun vle mete divizyon, pale avè l' yon premye fwa, yon dezyèm fwa. Si li pa koute ou, pa okipe li.

Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

Paske ou konnen byen yon moun konsa fin pèdi. Sè pwòp peche li yo k'ap kondannen li.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

Lè m'a voye Atemas osinon Tichik ba ou, fè posib ou pou ou vin jwenn mwen lavil Nikopolis, paske se la mwen fè lide pase sezon fredi a.

Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

Fè sa ou kapab pou mèt Zenas, avoka a, ansanm ak Apolòs, pou yo pa manke anyen pou vwayaj yo a.

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

Se pou moun nou yo aprann fè sa ki byen tou, pou yo bay lè gen ka nesesite. Yo pa fèt pou y'ap viv konsa san yo pa bay anyen.

All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.

Tout moun ki avè m' yo voye bonjou pou ou. Di tout zanmi nou nan lafwa yo bonjou. Mwen mande pou Bondye ban nou tout favè li.
