Tito 1
1 Une che Paolo, jundi jwakutumichila jwa Akunnungu ni nduna jwa Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela chikalata chi mwe che Tito. Uneji najichikwe kwalongosya ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti ŵakulupilile ni kuumanyilila usyenesyene ni kutama yaikuti pakwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
2 Chikulupi ni umanyilisi wa usyene wu ikutupa chilolelo cha umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Akunnungu ŵangakombola kusala ya unami, ŵatupele chilanga cho chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo. (aiōnios g166)
on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (aiōnios g166)
3 Ŵaliunukwile liloŵe lyakwe pa katema kakwe. Une napegwilwe utenga wo kwa lilajisyo lya Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu juŵangulupilile kuti naulalichile kwa ŵandu.
(and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior,
4 Chikalata chi ngunnembela mmwe che Tito, mwanangu jwa usyenesyene jutukukamulangana mu chikulupi chimo. Ngunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ni Che Yesu Kilisito nkulupusyo jwetu.
to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!
5 Nanlesile ku Kilete kuti nkombole kuikolosya yanayose yaisigalile ni kwaŵika achakulu ŵa mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito mu musi wauli wose mpela indite kunnajisya,
For this cause I left you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to you,
6 chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ni jwali ni jwankongwe jumo, ni ŵanache ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵangaŵechetelwa nkati wende wangalumbana atamuno ungapilikanichisya.
if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
7 Pakuŵa jwakuujimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ligongo jwelejo ali jwakwimilila masengo ga Akunnungu. Ngakusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwa chibuli atamuno jwakalipa atamuno jwakolelwa atamuno jwakuputa atamuno kuŵa mundu jwakunonyelwa nnope mbiya.
for it is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain,
8 Nambo ikuŵajilwa aŵe jwakunonyelwa kwapochela achalendo ni jwakunonyelwa ni indu yambone ni jwakulitulusya ni jwakupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni jwanswela ni jwakukombola kulilongosya nsyene.
but a lover of strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
9 Akusachilwa kulikamulisya liloŵe lyakukulupilichika mpela yaitite kujiganyikwa, kuti akombole kwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵane kwa majiganyo ga usyene ni kwalosya ileŵo yao ŵandu ŵakugakana majiganyo go.
holding—according to the teaching—to the steadfast word, that he may also be able to exhort in the sound teaching, and to convict the deniers;
10 Pakuŵa kwana ŵandu ŵajinji nnopennope ŵaali mu mpingo wa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵagalawiche ni kunkulupilila Kilisito, ŵele ŵakukanila kupilikana, akuŵecheta wamba ni akwalyungasya ŵandu ŵane.
for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—
11 Ŵele ŵandu akanyichikwe kuŵecheta, pakuŵa akwatindiganya ŵandu ŵa majumba gamajinji kwa kwiganya indu yangaŵajilwa kwiganya, akutenda yele kwa nningwa wangalumbana wa kupatila mbiya.
whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.
12 Namose jumo jwa ŵakulondola ŵao achinsyene jwali Mkilete ŵatite, “Ŵakilete ali ŵa unami moŵa gose, ali mpela ijama yakusakala, ŵaulesi ni ŵakunyela.”
A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!”
13 Umboni wu uli wausyenesyene. Kwa ligongo lyo, mwajamuche kwa kalipa kuti akole chikulupi chisyene.
This testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Mwajiganye aleche kupilikanila ngano sya unami sya Ŵayahudi namose malajisyo ga ŵandu ŵakuukanila usyene.
not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
15 Kila chindu chili cheswejele kwa ŵandu ŵaswejele paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo ngapagwa chindu chachili cheswela kwa ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵangakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuwa nganisyo syao ni ntima wa kukumbuchila kuitenda indu yambone ijonasiche.
All things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and nothing [is] pure to the defiled and unsteadfast, but even the mind and the conscience of them [is] defiled.
16 Ŵandu ŵa akwitichisya kuti akwamanyilila Akunnungu, nambo mu ipanganyo yao akwakana. Ŵandu wo ali ŵakuchima ni ŵakutindiganya tindiganya, namose ngakukombola kupanganya masengo gagali gose gambone.
They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
