Titus 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I'm sent to build up the trust of God's chosen people and to share the knowledge of the truth that leads to lives lived for God.
Paulo mitumi wang'wa Itunda hangi mutung'wa wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuuhueli wasagulwa ang'wi Tunda nuuhugu wa tai nuileta utaua.
2 This gives them the hope of eternal life that God (who cannot lie) promised ages ago, (aiōnios g166)
Akole muuhuili wa upanga wa kale nakale sunga Itunda nisingawiligitya uteele aulagile kuupuma ikale. (aiōnios g166)
3 but which at the proper time he revealed through his word in the message which I was entrusted to give, following the command of God our Savior.
Kumatungo yayo aulupimilye ulukani lakwe mu mbugulu aumpee une kutanatya. Aizepee kitumo ite kwilago lag'wi Itunda muguni witu.
4 This letter is sent to Titus, my true son through the trust in God we share in common. May you have grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Kung'wa Tito ng'wana watai muuhueli witu. Ukende nuuasilya, nuupolo kuupuma kung'wi Tunda tata nuukung'wa Yesu Kilisto muguni witu.
5 The reason I left you in Crete was for you to organize what was still needed and to appoint elders in every town, as I told you.
Konsoko eyii ite nikakuleka ku Krete, ingi umazipilye imakani ehi naakele kukonda nukuika ianyampala, akanisa kwa kila kisale anga nainukulagiye.
6 An elder must have a good reputation, the husband of one wife, and have children who believe and who are not accused of being wild or disobedient.
Munyampala nuuitekelo walekekutula wimelwa, mugoha wa musungu ung'wi, nukete eana ahueli neshanga itegwa kumakani nimabe hangi alekekutula agila anga adabu.
7 As a leader for God, a head elder must have a good reputation and not be arrogant. He should not have a quick temper nor get drunk; he shouldn't be violent or greedy for money.
Ingi muhimu kumugozeeli, mu nyumba ang'wi Tunda, alekekutula nikimilwi. Azesinga muntu wiogo ang'wi singawigiilya. Singa wikaya kutaka walekekutula mugala ntule, aleke kutula muntu nuweta wilea, aleketula nsula.
8 He should be hospitable, someone who loves what's good and does what's right. He should be living a life for God, self-controlled,
Apagwainge: watule muntu musingeeli, mulowa numuzalazima atule muntu nuketi imahala nakondanei, nukete itai muuhueli wang'wi Tunda, nuuimila ung'wenso.
9 and must be devoted to the trustworthy message as it's taught. In this way he can encourage others through correct teaching, and be able to convince those who disagree.
Nuhumile kemiila umanyisigwatai namanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwa nuuza, hange wakume kuanonelya ehi niakumugilya.
10 For there are many rebels around who talk a lot of deceptive nonsense, especially from the circumcision group.
Kunsoko akule endu asukile nyuma, hangi awo niabadisigwe. Hangi nkani yaupungu. Niaputalya nakuatongela aintu muulimili.
11 Their talking must stop, these people who throw whole families into turmoil, teaching things that aren't right for the sake of making money.
Inonee kuagilya iantu anga nianso. Akumanyisa ayo nishanonee kunsailo aminyala, nukubipya eantu ao ehi.
12 As someone of their own people, a prophet, has stated, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts who are lazy, greedy people.”
Ung'wi ao muntu nukete mahala, wikalunga, Wakrete akote uteele nuugila mpelo, abi hangi ikale niitaki, akatahangi alaku.
13 This is a true statement! Consequently give them a good telling-off so that they can have a healthy trust in God,
Ingi inkazi yatai, ite gwa uagilye kungulu, ahume kutambula itai muhuueli.
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and human commandments from those who deviate from the truth.
Uewe ulekekihangwila mumahumo nisingaatai, akiyahudi ang'wi malago aantu, niisusha ikenyuma itai.
15 To those who have clean minds everything is clean, but to those who are corrupt and refuse to trust in God, nothing is clean—both their minds and their consciences are corrupt.
Kuawa ehi niaza, maintu ehi ni maza. Kuawa ehi niabe nawaga niagila uuhueli kutile nikiza. Kunsoko imasego ao nusinganilye wao wabipile.
16 They claim to know God, but they prove this is false by what they do. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
Akulunga amumanyile Itunda, lakini kuntendo yao amuhitile. Nianso anyamilandu nishanga agombile. Nishangaahoiwe kuluka ni lehi nuluza.
