Titus 3

1 Remind them to submit to the governments, authorities, to obey the rule over them, to be ready unto every good work,

Uvayeudzire ivo kuzviisa pasi pevatungamiriri nevabati, vavateerere, vakazvigadzirira basa rese rakanaka,

2 to speak evil of no one, that they should be peaceable, gentle, showing all meekness to all men.

varege kuchera munhu, varege kuva vakakavari, vanyoro, vaitire vanhu vese unyoro hwese.

3 For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

Nokuti nesu pachedu taimbova matununu, vasingateereri, tichitsauswa, tichishumira kuchiva nemafaro zvakasiyana-siyana, tichirarama mukushata negodo, tichivenga, tichivengana.

4 but when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared,

Asi apo unyoro nerudo kuvanhu zvaMwari Muponesi wedu zvoonekwa,

5 not from works which are in righteousness, which we did, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewal of the Holy Ghost,

kwete zvichibva pamabasa ekururama atakaita isu, asi zvichienderana netsitsi dzake wakatiponesa, kubudikidza nekushambidzwa kwekuberekwa kutsva nekuvandudzwa kweMweya Mutsvene,

6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

waakadururira achiwanza pamusoro pedu, kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Muponesi wedu,

7 in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

kuti tichinzi takarurama nenyasha dzake, tive vadyi venhaka zvichienderana netariro yeupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

8 The word is faithful, and I wish you to be established concerning these things, in order that those having believed in God may think to excel in good works. These things are beautiful and useful to the people:

Ishoko rakatendeka, uye izvi ndinoda kuti musimbise zvirokwazvo, kuti vakatenda kuna Mwari vachenjerere kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka. Ndizvo zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira kuvanhu;

9 but reject foolish questions, and genealogies, and strife, and controversies about law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

asi nzvenga mibvunzo yeupenzi nenhoroondo dzemazita emadzinza nemakakatanwa nemakakava pamusoro pemurairo, nokuti hazvibatsiri uye hazvina maturo.

10 Reject a heretical man after the first and second admonition;

Munhu anotsauka shure kwekurairwa kwekutanga nekwechipiri umurambe,

11 knowing that such an one is turned away, and is sinning, being self-condemned.

uchiziva kuti uyo wakadaro wakatsauka, uye anotadza, achizvipa mhosva amene.

12 When I shall send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis: for I have determined to spend the winter there.

Pandichatuma Aritema kwauri, kana Tikiko, ushingaire kuuya kwandiri kuNikopori; nokuti ndakazvipira kugarapo pachando.

13 Send on Zenas the lawyer and Apollos speedily, in order that nothing may be lacking to them.

Shingaira kubatsira Zenasi mududziri wemurairo naAporo parwendo rwavo, kuti kusava nechinhu chinoshaikwa kwavari.

14 And let our people indeed learn to excel in good works for necessary uses, in order that they may not be unfruitful.

Nevekweduwo ngavadzidze kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka anodikanwa pakushaiwa, kuti varege kuva vasina zvibereko.

15 All who are with me salute you. Salute those who love us with the love of friendship in the faith. Grace be with you all.

Vese vaneni vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vanotida parutendo. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi mese. Ameni.
