< Tito 3 >
1 Mwakumbusye ŵandu kulitulusya paujo pa ilongola ni ŵakutawala ni ulamusi, ŵapilikanichisye ni kuŵa chile kupanganya ipanganyo yambone.
Put them in mind to submit themselves to governments, to authorities, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 Mwasalile akasantukana mundu jwalijose, anaŵe ŵaumani, aŵeje ŵambone achilosyaga kulitulusya katema kose kwa ŵandu wose.
to speak evil of no one, to be averse to strife, forbearing, showing all meekness 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 we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, slaves to divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 Nambo pawawoneche umbone ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu,
But when the kindness and love for men of God our Saviour appeared,
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, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the bath of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatujitilile kwa winji Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwetu,
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
7 kuti kwa umbone wao tukombole kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone ni kuukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi utukuulolela. (aiōnios )
that having been accepted as righteous by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life. (aiōnios )
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.
True is the saying; and these things I desire that thou affirm earnestly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to practise good works. These things are good and profitable 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 avoid foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Mundu jwakwikanawo kulekangana, pakumala kunjamuka kaandanda ni kaaŵili, munnecheje.
A man that stirs up divisions, after a first and second admonition, avoid;
11 Nipele nkumanyilila kuti mundu jwati iyoyo alyungasiche, ni kukola sambi, ni sambi syakwe sikunlamula nsyene.
knowing that he that is such is utterly perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Pachinannajisye che Atema pane che Tukiko kukwenu njanguye kwika ku Nikapoli kukuunola une pakuŵa ngusaka ndame kweleko katema kambepo.
When I shall have sent Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for there I have determined to pass 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.
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos forward on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.
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 those also who belong to us learn to practise good works for the necessary wants that arise, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Ŵandu wose ŵaali pamo ni une akunkomasya. Mungomachisye mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakutunonyela, ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Umbone wa Akunnungu utame ni ŵanyamwe wose.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
