Titus 3
1 Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.
Mubayeezye kuti balibombye kubendelezi akulibasimulawu, kamubaswlizya, akulibambila kuli yonse milimu mibotu
2 To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.
Mubayezye kutawambula bubi awumwi, kutaba achiyandisyo chakulwana, alimwi abusichamba, akutondezya kuliwinsya kubantu bonse.
3 For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Nkambo limwi lyamazuba iswe lwesu twakali abaya batayeeyi akutaswilizya. Twakazulwidwa mukusweka alimwi akuba mubuzike kwinda aziyandisyo zisiyene siyene alimwi azibotezya. Twakali kupona mububi amumabbivwe. Twakali chisesemyo alimwi katutayandani abamwi.
4 But when the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared:
Pesi eelyo buuya bwa Leza Mufutuli wesu antomwe aluyando lwakwe lwakumisyobo yoonse yakayubunuka,
5 Not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;
Tensi kwakali kwamilimo yabusalali obo mbutwakachita swebo, pesi mukwinda muluse lwakwe elyo wakatufutula, kwindila mukusanzigwa a Muuya Uusalala.
6 Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
Leza wakafonkola watila Muuya Uusalala alindiswe mukwinda mumufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
7 That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Ezi wakazichita kuti tululamikwe kuluzyalo, tuzobe basikukona katulabulangizi bwabuumi ibutamani. (aiōnios g166)
8 It is a faithful saying: and these things I will have thee affirm constantly: that they, who believe in God, may be careful to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Oyu mulumbe ulasyomeka. Ndiyanda kuti mwambule chabusichaamba atala azintu ezi, kuchitila kuti abo bakasyoma muli Leza bajatisye mumilimo mibotu. Makani mabotu, alalugwasyo kubantu boonse.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Pesi amuleke kukazyania kwabufubafuba alimwi amazyalani amikowa amapenzi akutamvwanana atala amulawo. Ezyo zintu tazikwe mpindu alimwi tazigwasyi.
10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Mumukake nabaani uyetelezya kwanzaana akati kanu, nimwamana kumuchenjezya lumwi na tubili,
11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.
mbuli mbomuzi kuti muntu uliboobo wakasanduka kuzwa munzila iluleme alimwi ulokubisya ulikulipa mulandu lwakwe.
12 When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter.
Elwo nindatuma Atemasi naba Tuchikkasi kulindinywe, ufwambane alimwi usike kulindime ku Nikkopolisi, oko nkundakayeeya kulomaninsya chindi champeeyo nkendinkuko.
13 Send forward Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollo, with care, that nothing be wanting to them.
Ufwambane utume Zenasi, unikide kumilawu, antomwe a Apolosi, enzila yakuti batakabuli chintu.
14 And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful.
Bantu besungabayiiye kulinjizya lwabo beni kumilimu mibotu eyo ipa ziyandisi akufwambana alimwi kuti batabi bantu batazyali michelo.
15 All that are with me salute thee: salute them that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen.
Boonse abo balandime balikumujuzya. Mubajuzye bonse abo batuyanda mulusyomo. Luzyalo alube anywebo moonse.
