Titus 3
1 Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,
Ubanushe bantu kwambeti babenga babombelela kubatangunishi ne bendeleshi babo ne kubanyumfwila kayi nekulibambila kwinsa mulimo waina,
2 to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone.
kayi batambanga byaipa pa banabo nambi kuyambana, nsombi kuba babombelela ne kulesha bulemu kumuntu uliyense.
3 For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures—living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
Pakwinga nenjafwe tobene twalikuba baluya, batanyumfwili kayi balubila. Twalikuba basha balunkumbwa lwa mubili kayi ne byakulikondwelesha byapusana pusana. Twalikwikala mubuyumi bwa miyeyo yakupatana ne munyono. Bantu balikuba batupata kayi nenjafwe twalikuba twabapata.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
Nsombi inkumbo ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Mupulushi wetu mpobyalayubululwa,
5 He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
walatupulusha. Nkalenseco pacebo cakwambeti twalensa bintu byaina, nsombi pacebo ca inkumbo shakendi. Walatupulusha kupitila mukusukiwa kwa kusemwa lino kayi ne buyumi bwa lino lino mungofu sha Mushimu Uswepa.
6 This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Lesa walatupa Mushimu Uswepa camakasa abili kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mupulushi wetu.
7 so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Walenseco kwambeti munkumbo shakendi tululamikwe pamenso a Lesa ne kwingila mubuyumi butapu ubo mbotulapembelelenga. (aiōnios g166)
8 This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.
Makani awa nakubinga. Ndayandanga kwambeti makani awa wakambauke cangofu kwambeti bashome muli Lesa ne kulibenga kwinsa milimo yaina, iyo yeshikukondwelesha ne kunyamfwa bantu bonse.
9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
Neco obe fumamo mubuyumi bwa kupikishana kwabuluya, kuyanda kulangaula mikondo ya mikowa, nekwambana, kayi ne kupikishanya pa bintu bya Milawo, pakwinga ibi nkabikute kunyamfwa kayi kuliya mobibelele.
10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
Muntu weshikuleta lupatuko pakati penu umucenjeshe mankanda abili, kufuma apo umusule.
11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
Ucinshi muntu wamushoboyu ni wazelezeka kayi kuzelezeka kwakendi kulalesheti walubila.
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
Ndakatumunga Atema ne Tukiko kuli njobe, ukeleshe cangofu kwisa kuli njame ku Nikopoli, pakwinga enkondayeyenga akwikala mucindi ca mupewo.
13 Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.
Weleshe cangofu kunyamfwa Zena shimilawo, ne Apolo, pabulwendo bwabo, nekuboneti bintu byonse byayandika kuli endibo bilakwana.
14 And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.
Bantu betu belela kwiya kulibenga kwinsa bintu byaina, kwambeti banyamfwilishe mubintu bilayandikinga, kutambeti bekalenga mubuyumi bwabula pindu.
15 All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
Bonse mbotuli nabo balamupanga mitende. Utupeleko mitende banetu bashoma, luse lwa Lesa lube nenjamwe mwense.
