Tito 3
1 Mwakumbusye ŵandu kulitulusya paujo pa ilongola ni ŵakutawala ni ulamusi, ŵapilikanichisye ni kuŵa chile kupanganya ipanganyo yambone.
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 Mwasalile akasantukana mundu jwalijose, anaŵe ŵaumani, aŵeje ŵambone achilosyaga kulitulusya katema kose kwa ŵandu wose.
to slander no one, and to be peaceable and considerate, always showing gentleness toward everyone.
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 were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, and enslaved to various lusts and pleasures. Living in wickedness and envy, we were loathsome and hated one another.
4 Nambo pawawoneche umbone ni unonyelo wa Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu,
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind 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.
he saved us, not because of any righteous works we had done, but according to his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit.
6 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵatujitilile kwa winji Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito Nkulupusyo jwetu,
He richly poured out his Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 kuti kwa umbone wao tukombole kuŵalanjikwa ŵambone ni kuukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi utukuulolela. (aiōnios g166)
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to 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 saying is trustworthy. I want yoʋ to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are good and beneficial for people.
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 controversies, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.
10 Mundu jwakwikanawo kulekangana, pakumala kunjamuka kaandanda ni kaaŵili, munnecheje.
Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning.
11 Nipele nkumanyilila kuti mundu jwati iyoyo alyungasiche, ni kukola sambi, ni sambi syakwe sikunlamula nsyene.
For yoʋ know that such a person is corrupted and sinful; he is self-condemned.
12 Pachinannajisye che Atema pane che Tukiko kukwenu njanguye kwika ku Nikapoli kukuunola une pakuŵa ngusaka ndame kweleko katema kambepo.
When I send Artemas to yoʋ, or Tychicus, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
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.
Do everything yoʋ can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and make sure they lack nothing.
14 Ikusachilwa ŵandu ŵetu alijiganye kulimbichila kupanganya masengo gambone, kuti akombole kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵakusoŵekwa ni indu ya kila lyuŵa ni anatame utame wangaukwapokasya.
Our people must learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet pressing needs, so that they will 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 who are with me greet yoʋ. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
