Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Mlungu na ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu. Neni nsyagulwa kuinyawa njimiru ya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu na kuwalonguziya waumani unakaka wa makaliru ga kumfiziya Mlungu,
2 in hope of the consummate (aiōnios g166) life, which God, who cannnot lie, promised before time began;
lweni liyanjiru lwakuwi ndo litumbiru lya kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Mlungu yakalonga ndiri mpayu, katugambiriti kala ukomu awu pamberi pakwanjira kila shintu, (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
na shipindi shashifiriziwitwi pashisokiti kaulanguziya mushisoweru shakuwi. Neni wanupiti shisoweru ashi nushibweri kulawirana na Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Nukulembera gwenga Titu, yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru gwatutendaga pamuhera. Nukufilira uheri wa Mlungu na ponga kwa Mlungu Tati, na Kristu Yesu Mlopoziya gwetu.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
Nukulekiti mushisiwa sha Kireti gutendi weri vitwatira vya mafundu yagasigaliti, na kuwasyagula wazewi walongoziya mushipinga sha yawamjimira Kristu mukila lushi. Guliholi ganakulagaliriti,
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Kristu kafiluwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri, yakawera na mdala yumu hera, na wananguta wakuwi wafiruwa kuwera wajimira wa Kristu nawawera njuguluru na yawapikana ndiri.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Toziya mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Yesu yakalolera vitwatira vya wantu ndo mgolokera gwa lihengu lya Mlungu, kafiruwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri na wamonga. Yakahera shikwimba na maya gapakwegera na mlowera na mndewu ama muntu yakalipanana ulunda kwa njira ya soni.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Kafiluwa kaweri muntu yakawashemera wantu na yakafira maheri na yakatenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu na katendi vitwatira ntambu yaifiruwa na kaweri mnanagala na yakalilewelera.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
Kafiluwa kakoli uweri shisoweru shirii sha ujimirika gambira ntambu yagufunda. Su kawezi kuwapanana moyu wamonga kwa mafundu ga nakaka. Na kugalaviya paweru madoda ga walii yawasinga mafundu aga.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Toziya, kwana wantu wavuwa, hasa walii wawalawiti kulawa munjira ya Shiyawudi ya kumfata Mlungu na yawatakula visoweru vya vyahera mana na wawalema walongoziya wawu na wawazyanga wamonga kwa uzigizigi wawu.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
Kwa ntambu yoseri ilii mpaka kuvinyamaziya visoweru vyawu, toziya wavuluvutira kaya yoseri kwa kufunda vitwatira vyawafiruwa ndiri kufunda, watenda hangu kwa nfiru idoda ya kulipanana ulunda wa mpiya.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
Ata yumu gwa wambuyi wawu, nayomberi viraa ndo Mkreti, kalongiti, “Wakureti watakulaga upayira mashaka goseri, ndo gambira wang'ongolu wadoda, walwaliya na waleri!”
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Na yomberi kapitawuliti nakaka. Su kwa hangu gufiliziwa guwakalipili nentu, su waweri na njimiru ya nakaka.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Nawaendereya kuzikolera ntambu hera zya Shiyawudi na malagaliru ga wantu yagalawira kwa wantu yawaulemiti unakaka.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Kila shintu ndo shinanaga kwa wantu wananaga, kumbiti kwahera shoseri shashiwera unanaga kwa walii yawadodoziyitwi na yawajimira ndiri, toziya mahala gawu na uwezu wawu wa kusyagula maheri ama madoda gahalibisiwa.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Wantu gambira awa walitumba handa wamumana Mlungu, kumbiti kwa matendu gawu wamlema. Ndo wantu wa ngalaliru nentu na wantu wawapikanila ndiri, wafaa ndiri kutenda shitwatira shoseri shiherepa.
