Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:
Une che Paolo, jundi jwakutumichila jwa Akunnungu ni nduna jwa Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela chikalata chi mwe che Tito. Uneji najichikwe kwalongosya ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti ŵakulupilile ni kuumanyilila usyenesyene ni kutama yaikuti pakwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
Chikulupi ni umanyilisi wa usyene wu ikutupa chilolelo cha umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Akunnungu ŵangakombola kusala ya unami, ŵatupele chilanga cho chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo. (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
Ŵaliunukwile liloŵe lyakwe pa katema kakwe. Une napegwilwe utenga wo kwa lilajisyo lya Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu juŵangulupilile kuti naulalichile kwa ŵandu.
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Chikalata chi ngunnembela mmwe che Tito, mwanangu jwa usyenesyene jutukukamulangana mu chikulupi chimo. Ngunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ni Che Yesu Kilisito nkulupusyo jwetu.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:
Nanlesile ku Kilete kuti nkombole kuikolosya yanayose yaisigalile ni kwaŵika achakulu ŵa mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito mu musi wauli wose mpela indite kunnajisya,
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ni jwali ni jwankongwe jumo, ni ŵanache ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵangaŵechetelwa nkati wende wangalumbana atamuno ungapilikanichisya.
7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
Pakuŵa jwakuujimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ligongo jwelejo ali jwakwimilila masengo ga Akunnungu. Ngakusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwa chibuli atamuno jwakalipa atamuno jwakolelwa atamuno jwakuputa atamuno kuŵa mundu jwakunonyelwa nnope mbiya.
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
Nambo ikuŵajilwa aŵe jwakunonyelwa kwapochela achalendo ni jwakunonyelwa ni indu yambone ni jwakulitulusya ni jwakupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni jwanswela ni jwakukombola kulilongosya nsyene.
9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
Akusachilwa kulikamulisya liloŵe lyakukulupilichika mpela yaitite kujiganyikwa, kuti akombole kwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵane kwa majiganyo ga usyene ni kwalosya ileŵo yao ŵandu ŵakugakana majiganyo go.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Pakuŵa kwana ŵandu ŵajinji nnopennope ŵaali mu mpingo wa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵagalawiche ni kunkulupilila Kilisito, ŵele ŵakukanila kupilikana, akuŵecheta wamba ni akwalyungasya ŵandu ŵane.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Ŵele ŵandu akanyichikwe kuŵecheta, pakuŵa akwatindiganya ŵandu ŵa majumba gamajinji kwa kwiganya indu yangaŵajilwa kwiganya, akutenda yele kwa nningwa wangalumbana wa kupatila mbiya.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Namose jumo jwa ŵakulondola ŵao achinsyene jwali Mkilete ŵatite, “Ŵakilete ali ŵa unami moŵa gose, ali mpela ijama yakusakala, ŵaulesi ni ŵakunyela.”
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Umboni wu uli wausyenesyene. Kwa ligongo lyo, mwajamuche kwa kalipa kuti akole chikulupi chisyene.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
Mwajiganye aleche kupilikanila ngano sya unami sya Ŵayahudi namose malajisyo ga ŵandu ŵakuukanila usyene.
15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Kila chindu chili cheswejele kwa ŵandu ŵaswejele paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo ngapagwa chindu chachili cheswela kwa ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵangakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuwa nganisyo syao ni ntima wa kukumbuchila kuitenda indu yambone ijonasiche.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Ŵandu ŵa akwitichisya kuti akwamanyilila Akunnungu, nambo mu ipanganyo yao akwakana. Ŵandu wo ali ŵakuchima ni ŵakutindiganya tindiganya, namose ngakukombola kupanganya masengo gagali gose gambone.
