< Tito 3 >

1 Mwakumbusye ŵandu kulitulusya paujo pa ilongola ni ŵakutawala ni ulamusi, ŵapilikanichisye ni kuŵa chile kupanganya ipanganyo yambone.
Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,
2 Mwasalile akasantukana mundu jwalijose, anaŵe ŵaumani, aŵeje ŵambone achilosyaga kulitulusya katema kose kwa ŵandu wose.
To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.
3 Pakuŵa nowe ŵakwe kalakala ko twaliji ŵakuloŵela, ŵakukanila ni ŵakulyungasika. Twaliji achikapolo ŵa tama syangalumbana ni kulinonyelesya kwa pachilambo. Twatemi mu chigongomalo ni kukolelana wiu, ŵandu ŵatuchimile ni uweji twachimile ŵanyawo.
For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.
4 Nambo pawawoneche umbone ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu,
But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,
5 ŵatukulupwisye uweji, ngaŵa kwa ligongo lya chindu chachilichose chambone chitutesile uwe, nambo kwa ligongo lya chanasa chao. ŵatujosisye sambi syetu ni kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jwatutesile tupagwe kaaŵili ni kuŵa ni utame wa sambano.
Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,
6 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatujitilile kwa winji Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwetu,
Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 kuti kwa umbone wao tukombole kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone ni kuukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi utukuulolela. (aiōnios g166)
So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Liloŵe li lili lya usyene. Ngusaka nsale chindu chi kwakulimbila, kuti ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Akunnungu, akumbuchile kulimbila mu ipanganyo yambone. Chelecho chili chambone ni chakwakamuchisya ŵandu.
This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;
9 Nambo nlisepusye ni mausyano ga kuloŵela, ni kugamanya meena ga ngosyo ngano ni kulipulana pamo ni makani gankati Malajisyo, pakuŵa indu yo ngaŵa chindu kwa Akunnungu ni yangalimate.
But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.
10 Mundu jwakwikanawo kulekangana, pakumala kunjamuka kaandanda ni kaaŵili, munnecheje.
A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;
11 Nipele nkumanyilila kuti mundu jwati iyoyo alyungasiche, ni kukola sambi, ni sambi syakwe sikunlamula nsyene.
Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.
12 Pachinannajisye che Atema pane che Tukiko kukwenu njanguye kwika ku Nikapoli kukuunola une pakuŵa ngusaka ndame kweleko katema kambepo.
When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.
13 Ntende inkuti pakukombola munkamuchisye che Sena, mundu jwakugamanyilila malajisyo pamo ni che Apolo kuti akombole kuutanda ulendo wao, nipele nnole kuti anasoŵekwe ni chindu chachilichose chakusaka mu ulendo wao.
Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.
14 Ikusachilwa ŵandu ŵetu alijiganye kulimbichila kupanganya masengo gambone, kuti akombole kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵakusoŵekwa ni indu ya kila lyuŵa ni anatame utame wangaukwapokasya.
And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.
15 Ŵandu wose ŵaali pamo ni une akunkomasya. Mungomachisye mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakutunonyela, ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Umbone wa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.
