Titus 1
1 Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines,
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go: Paulo, motlhanka wa Modimo le morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete.
2 Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: (aiōnios g166)
Ke romilwe go lere tumelo kwa go ba Modimo o ba tlhophileng le go ba ruta go itse boammaaruri jwa Modimo, boammaaruri jo bo fetolang matshelo a batho, gore ba nne le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, jo Modimo o ba bo solofeditseng pele ga lefatshe le simologa, mme ga o kake wa bua maaka. (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour:
Mme jaanong ka nako ya One e ntle, O senotse Mafoko a a Molemo a, mme o bile o ntetlelela go a bolelela mongwe le mongwe. Ka taolo ya Modimo Mmoloki wa rona, ke tlhomilwe go dira tiro e, ya One.
4 To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour.
Lo ya kwa go: Tito, yo e leng morwaake tota mo ditirong tsa Morena. A Modimo Rara le Keresete Jesu Mmoloki wa rona O go nee masego a One le kagiso ya One.
5 For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee,
Ke go tlogetse koo mo setlhaketlhakeng sa Kereta gore o dire sengwe le sengwe se se tlhokegang go thusa go nonotsha phuthego nngwe le nngwe ya sone, mme ke ne ka go kopa go tlhoma baruti mo motseng mongwe le mongwe, ba ba tlaa salang morago ditaelo tse ke di go neetseng.
6 If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.
Banna ba o ba tlhophang, ba tshwanetse ba bo ba itsege ka mekgwa e mentle; mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse a bo a na le mosadi a le mongwe le bana ba bone ba tshwanetse go rata Morena le gone ga ba a tshwanela go itsege ka bosula kgotsa ka go sa reetseng batsadi ba bone.
7 For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,
Baruti ba, ba tshwanetse ba bo ba le banna ba matshelo a a senang molato gonne ke badiredi ba Modimo. Ba se ka ba nna boikgodiso kgotsa pelo-dikhutshwane; ba se ka ba nna matagwa kgotsa batho ba ba ratang ntwa kgotsa ba ba ratang madi.
8 But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,
Ba tshwanetse go itumelela go amogela baeng mo matlung a bone le go rata gotlhe mo go molemo. Ba tshwanetse go nna banna ba ba nang le ditlhaloganyo tse di itekanetseng, ebile ba sa patike. Ba tshwanetse go nna le megopolo e e lekalekanyeng e e phepha.
9 Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it.
Go dumela ga bone mo boammaaruring jo ba bo rutilweng go nonofe go bo go nitame, gore ba tle ba kgone go go ruta ba bangwe le go kaela ba ba sa dumalaneng nabo mo ba leng phoso teng.
10 For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,
Gonne go ba le bantsi ba ba ganang go reetsa; mo go boammaaruri tota mo go ba ba reng Bakeresete botlhe ba tshwanetse go obamela melao ya Sejuta. Mme e ke puo ya boeleele; e foufatsa batho gore ba seka ba amogela boammaaruri,
11 Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.
mme selo se, se tshwanetse go fedisiwa. Malwapa otlhe a setse a bile a furaletse tshegofatso ya Modimo. Baruti ba ba ntseng jaana ba ipatlela madi a lona fela.
12 One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.
Mongwe wa bone, ebong moporofiti yo o tswang kwa Kereta, o buile jaana kaga bone a re, “Batho ba botlhe ba Kereta ke baaki; ba tshwana le diphologolo tse di ditshwakga, tse di tshelelang dimpa tsa tsone fela.”
13 This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,
Mme mo go boammaaruri. Jalo bua le Bakeresete koo, ka tlhwaafalo e e nang le kutlwelo botlhoko ka fa go tlhokegang ka teng go ba nonotsha mo tumelong,
14 And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.
le go ba kganela go tlhola ba nnetse go reetsa dinaane tsa Bajuta le ditaolo tsa batho ba ba furaletseng boammaaruri.
15 Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled.
Motho yo o pelo e itshekileng o bona bomolemo le bophepa mo go sengwe le sengwe; mme motho yo pelo ya gagwe e bosula ebile e sa ikanyege o bona bosula mo go sengwe le sengwe, gonne mogopolo wa gagwe o o leswe le pelo ya gagwe e e tsogologelang, di baya dilo tsotlhe tse a di bonang le tse a di utlwang mmala o e seng one.
16 They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
Batho ba ba ntseng jalo gantsi ba re ba itse Modimo, mme ka go bona ka fa ba itsayang ka teng, ba lemogwa gore ga ba o itse. Ba bodile ebile ga ba laolesege, ba tlhobosegile mo ba se kakeng ba dira tiro epe e e molemo.
