How Titus Suppose To Work
Crete Side
5 You rememba da time I wen go way from you. I wen tell you, “Eh Titus! stay right hea, Crete Islan. An da stuff dat still not right, make shua come out right. Go ery town, an pick some older guys fo come da leadas fo da church peopo ova dea, jalike I wen tell you fo do befo time.” 6 ✡Somebody dat come one leada, dey gotta be fo real kine fo nobody poin finga dem. Dey gotta be da kine guy dat stay tight wit da same wife. His kids gotta trus God fo nobody tell, “Dose kids, dey party all da time an dey no lissen.” 7 Da main leada guy, he suppose to be one guy nobody can poin finga him cuz he erytime do wass good. He betta not live jalike da kine guys dat get hard head an no lissen da odda guy. Dose guys, dey get mad fas, dey drink too much, dey like beef erytime, dey no shame fo do any kine fo make money. 8 Da main leada guy, he betta not make lidat. Wen peopo from anodda place come stay his place, he show dem aloha. He feel good inside wen he see good tings happen. He know wat he stay do, an he erytime do da right ting. He stay good an spesho fo God all da time. An he in charge a how he ack. 9 He gotta stick wit da kine stuff us guys teach. Dass da kine stuff you can trus. Az why da stuff he teach da peopo goin make sense, an he goin give dem good kine words. Same time, da peopo dat no like da stuff he teach, he know how fo make dem see dat dey wrong.
10 Da guy dat stay in charge, he gotta make lidat, cuz get plenny peopo dat no like lissen. Da stuff dey tell ony wase time! Dey bulai da peopo. But da mo worse one is da guys dat tell erybody gotta make jalike da Jew guys. 11 Eh! Gotta stop um fo no talk lidat no moa. Cuz ery house dey go, dey jam up erybody dea wit da kine tings dey teach. Dey teach da kine tings dey not suppose to teach. An dey not even shame fo charge money fo teach lidat. 12 You know, had one guy, da Crete peopo call um one talka fo dea gods. He tell:
“Dem Crete buggahs, erytime dey bulai.
Dey jalike one wild dog ready fo bite.
Dey ony eat an sleep all da time.
Dey good fo notting!”
13 Az right. So da guys dat like jam up erybody, you scold um real good, fo dem trus God da right way. 14 Den, wen da Jew guys tell any kine make up story, da ones dat trus God betta not lissen no moa. An get peopo dat know da trut, but dey no like do wat dey suppose to do. So no lissen da kine rules dey make fo you.
15 Da peopo dat no mo bad kine stuff inside, fo dem eryting good da way dey see um. But da peopo dat stay pilau inside an no trus God, eryting stay pilau da way dey see um. Mo worse, even da way dey tink stay all pilau, an dey no shame fo do bad kine stuff. 16 Dey stan up in front erybody an tell, “God, I know him!” But den, dey turn aroun an ack jalike dey donno him. Nobody like stay wit dat kine peopo. Dey no lissen. Dey donno how fo do wass good.
