Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
Paulo, n'tumishi ghwa K'yara ni n'tume ghwa Yesu Kristu, kwa imani jha bhateule bha K'yara ni maarifa gha bhukweli jhajhileta bhutauwa.
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (aiōnios g166)
Bhajhele mu tumaini lya bhusima bhwa milele ambabho K'yara jhaibhwesya lepi kudeta bhudesi abhuahidi kuhoma milele. (aiōnios g166)
3 In His own time He has made His word evident in the proclamation entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior.
Kwa bhwakati muafaka, alifunuili lilobhi lya muene mu ujumbe bhwa anipelili nene kuhubiri. Jhinilondekeghe kukheta naha kwa amri jha K'yara mwokozi bhitu.
4 To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Kwa Tito, mwana ghwa bhukweli mu imani jha tete. Neema, k'esa ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi ni Yesu Kristu mwokozi ghwetu.
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you would set in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Kwandabha ejhe nakulekili Krete, kujha ughatanganesiajhi mambo ghoha ghaghajhele ghabelikukamilika ni kubheka bhaseya bha kanisa kwa kila mji kama kyanikulaghisi.
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.
Mzee ghwa kanisa lazima asijhi ni lawama, n'gosi ghwa n'dala mmonga, jhaajhele ni bhana bhaaminifu bhabhashuhudibhu lepi mabhobhi au bhabhabeli kujha ni nidhamu.
7 As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money.
Ni kinofu kwa muangalizi ghwa K'yara, asijhi ni lawama. Asijhi munu ghwa njuegho au jhaabelili kwizuila. Lazima asijhi njonjofu ghwa ligoga, asijhi ndefi, asijhi munu ghwa kusababisya ngondo, na asijhi ni tamaa.
8 Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
Badala jhiake: ajhelayi munu n'karibisiajhi, jhailonda bhwema. Lazima ajhelayi munu mwenye luhala luoha, mwenye haki, mcha K'yara, jhaikitawala muene.
9 He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.
Jhaibhwesya kujhemelela mafundisu gha bhukweli ghaghamanyisibhu, ili abhwesiajhi kubhapela muoyo kwa mafundisu manofu na jhaibhwesya kubharekebisya bhoha bhabhakampela.
10 For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
Kwa kujha bhajhe bhaasi bhamehele, hasa bhala bha tohara. Malobhi gha bhene gha bhukonyofu. Bhikofya ni kubhalongosya bhanu mu bhukonyofu.
11 who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
Lazima kubhabesya bhanu kama abhu. Bhimanyisya ghala ghabhilondekalepi kumanyisya kwa faida sya soni ni kuharibu familia syoha,
12 As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Mmonga bhabhi, munu jhaajhe ni busara, ajobhili, “Bhakrete bhajhe ni udesi bhwabhubelikujha ni mwishu, bhabhibhi ni bhanyama bha hatari, bhafifu ni bhalafi.”
13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
Majhelesu agha gha bhukweli, henu abhabesiajhi kwa nghofu ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kujbha bhukweli mu imani.
14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
Bhebhe usikihusishi ni fijegu fyafibelikujha fya bhukweli sya Kiyahudi au amri sya bhanu, ambabho bhikerebhusya kunyuma bhukweli.
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
Kwa bhoha bhabhajhele kinofu, fenu fyoha finofu. Lakini kwa bhoha bhabhajhele bhachafu na bhabhabelili kukiera, kijhelepi kyajhele kinofu. Kwa kujha mabhuasu gha bhene ni dhamira sya bhene sichafulibhu.
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
Bhikiri kummanya K'yara, lakini kwa matendu gha bhene bhikambela. Bhene ndo bhaovu na bhitii lepi. Bhasibilishibhulepi kwa kitendo lyolyoha linofu.
