Tito 3
1 Uwakumbutse anthu kuti azigonjera oweruza ndi olamulira, aziwamvera ndi kukhala okonzeka kuchita chilichonse chabwino.
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 Asamachitire chipongwe aliyense, asamakangane, akhale ofatsa ndipo oganizira ena, ndipo nthawi zonse akhale aulemu kwa anthu onse.
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
3 Nthawi ina tinali opusa, osamvera, onamizidwa ndi omangidwa ndi zilakolako ndi zokondweretsa zamitundumitundu. Tinkakhala moyo wadumbo ndi wakaduka, odedwa ndiponso odana wina ndi mnzake.
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
4 Koma kukoma mtima ndi chikondi cha Mulungu Mpulumutsi wathu chitaonekera,
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior towards man appeared,
5 Iye anatipulumutsa, osati chifukwa cha ntchito zathu zolungama zimene tinachita koma chifukwa cha chifundo chake. Anatipulumutsa potisambitsa, kutibadwitsa kwatsopano ndi kutikonzanso mwa Mzimu Woyera
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 Spirit;
6 amene anatipatsa mowolowamanja kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu Mpulumutsi wathu,
Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7 kuti titalungamitsidwa mwachisomo chake, tikhale olowamʼmalo okhala ndi chiyembekezo cha moyo wosatha. (aiōnios g166)
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Mawuwa ndi okhulupirika ndipo ine ndikufuna kuti iwe utsindike zinthu izi, kuti amene akhulupirira Mulungu adzipereke kuchita ntchito zabwino. Zinthu izi ndi zabwino kwambiri ndi zopindulitsa kwa aliyense.
[This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 Koma upewe kufufuzafufuza zopusa, kuwerengawerenga mndandanda wa mibado ya makolo, mikangano ndi mitsutso pa za Malamulo, chifukwa zimenezi ndi zosapindulitsa ndi zopanda pake.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Munthu woyambitsa mipatuko umuchenjeze koyamba, ndiponso umuchenjeze kachiwiri. Kenaka umupewe.
A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject;
11 Iwe udziwe kuti munthu wotero ngosokoneza ndi wochimwa, ndipo akudzitsutsa yekha.
Knowing that he who is such, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by himself.
12 Ndikadzamutuma Artema kapena Tukiko kwanuko, udzayesetse kundipeza ku Nikapoli, chifukwa ndatsimikiza kukhala kumeneko pa nthawi yozizira.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Uyesetse chilichonse ungathe kuthandiza Zena katswiri wa malamulo ndi Apolo, kuti apitirize ulendo wawo, ndipo uwonetsetse asasowe kanthu.
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Anthu athu aphunzire kudzipereka pogwira ntchito zabwino, nʼcholinga chakuti athandize zinthu zimene zikufunika msangamsanga. Ndipo asakhale moyo osapindulitsa.
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Onse amene ali ndi ine akupereka moni. Upereke moni kwa amene amatikonda ife mʼchikhulupiriro. Chisomo chikhale ndi inu nonse.
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
