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, 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 This gives them the hope of eternal life that God (who cannot lie) promised ages ago, (aiōnios g166)
Bhajhele mu tumaini lya bhusima bhwa milele ambabho K'yara jhaibhwesya lepi kudeta bhudesi abhuahidi kuhoma milele. (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.
Kwa bhwakati muafaka, alifunuili lilobhi lya muene mu ujumbe bhwa anipelili nene kuhubiri. Jhinilondekeghe kukheta naha kwa amri jha K'yara mwokozi bhitu.
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.
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 for you to organize what was still needed and to appoint elders in every town, as I told 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 have a good reputation, the husband of one wife, and have children who believe and who are not accused of being wild or disobedient.
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 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.
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 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,
Badala jhiake: ajhelayi munu n'karibisiajhi, jhailonda bhwema. Lazima ajhelayi munu mwenye luhala luoha, mwenye haki, mcha K'yara, jhaikitawala muene.
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.
Jhaibhwesya kujhemelela mafundisu gha bhukweli ghaghamanyisibhu, ili abhwesiajhi kubhapela muoyo kwa mafundisu manofu na jhaibhwesya kubharekebisya bhoha bhabhakampela.
10 For there are many rebels around who talk a lot of deceptive nonsense, especially from the circumcision group.
Kwa kujha bhajhe bhaasi bhamehele, hasa bhala bha tohara. Malobhi gha bhene gha bhukonyofu. Bhikofya ni kubhalongosya bhanu mu bhukonyofu.
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.
Lazima kubhabesya bhanu kama abhu. Bhimanyisya ghala ghabhilondekalepi kumanyisya kwa faida sya soni ni kuharibu familia syoha,
12 As someone of their own people, a prophet, has stated, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts who are lazy, greedy people.”
Mmonga bhabhi, munu jhaajhe ni busara, ajobhili, “Bhakrete bhajhe ni udesi bhwabhubelikujha ni mwishu, bhabhibhi ni bhanyama bha hatari, bhafifu ni bhalafi.”
13 This is a true statement! Consequently give them a good telling-off so that they can have a healthy trust in God,
Majhelesu agha gha bhukweli, henu abhabesiajhi kwa nghofu ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kujbha bhukweli mu imani.
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and human commandments from those who deviate from the truth.
Bhebhe usikihusishi ni fijegu fyafibelikujha fya bhukweli sya Kiyahudi au amri sya bhanu, ambabho bhikerebhusya kunyuma bhukweli.
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.
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 claim to know God, but they prove this is false by what they do. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
Bhikiri kummanya K'yara, lakini kwa matendu gha bhene bhikambela. Bhene ndo bhaovu na bhitii lepi. Bhasibilishibhulepi kwa kitendo lyolyoha linofu.
