Titus 3

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

Mampahatsiarova azy hanaiky izay manapaka sy manam-pahefana, hanoa tsara, ho vonona ho amin'ny asa tsara rehetra,

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

tsy hiteny ratsy olona, tsy ho mpila ady, fa ho mpandefitra, maneho ny halemem-panahy rehetra amin'ny olona rehetra.

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

Fa isika koa dia adala fahiny, tsy nanaiky, voafitaka, dia andevon'ny filàna sy ny fahafinaretana maro, ary velona teo amin'ny lolompo sy ny fialonana, sady hala no nifankahala.

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

Fa rehefa niseho ny fahamoram-panahin'Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika, sy ny fitiavany ny olona,

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;

dia tsy avy tamin'ny asa amin'ny fahamarinana izay nataontsika, fa araka ny famindram-po kosa no namonjeny antsika, tamin'ny fanasan'ny fiterahana indray sy ny fanavaozan'ny Fanahy Masina,

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

Izay naidiny betsaka tamintsika tamin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy, Mpamonjy antsika,

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

mba hohamarinina amin'ny fahasoavany isika ka ho tonga mpandova araka ny fanantenana ny fiainana mandrakizay.

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.

Mahatoky izany teny izany, ary izany zavatra izany dia tiako hitompoanao mafy, mba hotandreman'izay efa mino an'Andriamanitra ny hanao asa tsara. Sady tsara no mahasoa ny olona izany zavatra izany.

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

Fa halaviro ny fanontaniana adala sy ny tantaram-pirazanana sy ny fifandirana sy ny ady teny ny amin'ny lalàna; fa tsy mahasoa sady zava-poana izany.

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

Izay mpanao hevi-diso, rehefa nanarinao indray maka na indroa, dia ialao,

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

satria fantatrao fa voavadika izay manao izany ka sady manota no manamelo-tena koa.

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

Rehefa maniraka an'i Artema ny Tykiko ho atỳ aminao aho, dia mazotoa hankany amiko any Nikopolia ianao, fa mikasa handany ny ririnina any aho.

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

Mazotoa hamoaka an'i Zena mpahay lalàna sy Apolosy, mba tsy hisy zavatra hilainy.

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

Ary aoka ny antsika koa hianatra hanao asa tsara hahazoany izay ilainy, fandrao tsy hisy vokatra izy.

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.

Manao veloma anao izay rehetra atỳ amiko. Manaova veloma izay rehetra tia anay amin'ny finoana. Ho aminareo rehetra anie ny fahasoavana.
