Titus 3
1 REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
Ubanushe bantu kwambeti babenga babombelela kubatangunishi ne bendeleshi babo ne kubanyumfwila kayi nekulibambila kwinsa mulimo waina,
2 to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
kayi batambanga byaipa pa banabo nambi kuyambana, nsombi kuba babombelela ne kulesha bulemu kumuntu uliyense.
3 For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
Pakwinga nenjafwe tobene twalikuba baluya, batanyumfwili kayi balubila. Twalikuba basha balunkumbwa lwa mubili kayi ne byakulikondwelesha byapusana pusana. Twalikwikala mubuyumi bwa miyeyo yakupatana ne munyono. Bantu balikuba batupata kayi nenjafwe twalikuba twabapata.
4 But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
Nsombi inkumbo ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Mupulushi wetu mpobyalayubululwa,
5 not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
walatupulusha. Nkalenseco pacebo cakwambeti twalensa bintu byaina, nsombi pacebo ca inkumbo shakendi. Walatupulusha kupitila mukusukiwa kwa kusemwa lino kayi ne buyumi bwa lino lino mungofu sha Mushimu Uswepa.
6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Lesa walatupa Mushimu Uswepa camakasa abili kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mupulushi wetu.
Walenseco kwambeti munkumbo shakendi tululamikwe pamenso a Lesa ne kwingila mubuyumi butapu ubo mbotulapembelelenga. (aiōnios g166)
8 Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
Makani awa nakubinga. Ndayandanga kwambeti makani awa wakambauke cangofu kwambeti bashome muli Lesa ne kulibenga kwinsa milimo yaina, iyo yeshikukondwelesha ne kunyamfwa bantu bonse.
9 But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Neco obe fumamo mubuyumi bwa kupikishana kwabuluya, kuyanda kulangaula mikondo ya mikowa, nekwambana, kayi ne kupikishanya pa bintu bya Milawo, pakwinga ibi nkabikute kunyamfwa kayi kuliya mobibelele.
10 An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
Muntu weshikuleta lupatuko pakati penu umucenjeshe mankanda abili, kufuma apo umusule.
11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
Ucinshi muntu wamushoboyu ni wazelezeka kayi kuzelezeka kwakendi kulalesheti walubila.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.
Ndakatumunga Atema ne Tukiko kuli njobe, ukeleshe cangofu kwisa kuli njame ku Nikopoli, pakwinga enkondayeyenga akwikala mucindi ca mupewo.
13 Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
Weleshe cangofu kunyamfwa Zena shimilawo, ne Apolo, pabulwendo bwabo, nekuboneti bintu byonse byayandika kuli endibo bilakwana.
14 And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
Bantu betu belela kwiya kulibenga kwinsa bintu byaina, kwambeti banyamfwilishe mubintu bilayandikinga, kutambeti bekalenga mubuyumi bwabula pindu.
15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
Bonse mbotuli nabo balamupanga mitende. Utupeleko mitende banetu bashoma, luse lwa Lesa lube nenjamwe mwense.
