Titus 1
1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of truth which leads to godliness;
U Paulo utumwa nu Ngulubhi nutumwa nu Yesu UKristi hulwitio lwateuliwa wa Ngulubhi mahala ga lwoli galeta mahala gisangahusu.
2 in hope of life eternal, which God, who cannot lie, hath promised before time had a being; (aiōnios g166)
Wawile musubhiluo lyiumi wawila wula Ngulubhi siga awajilea wandeilenga watusubhivhizye awa nde wila na wila. (aiōnios g166)
3 but hath manifested in his own appointed season his word by the preaching, with which I have been entrusted, according to the command of our Saviour God;
Igamasala gakwe akwinkula izyoo lwakwe munongwa uwapvile anee aulumbelele. Ihaziwa abhombe ismihulazimisye yaguvu ya Ngulubhi ufhulo wetu.
4 to Titus, my genuine son after the common faith, be grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Wa Tito, umwana uwanalwoli aligane nishawamini wakwe ulusulo lwituu, huyi ugwiphana nu waushea fume wa Ngulubhi uDada nu Yesu Ukristi ufhulu wetu.
5 For this purpose I left thee behind me at Crete, that thou mightest direct the regulations which remained to be executed, and that thou shouldest appoint presbyters in every city, as I charged thee to do:
Hunongwa ene ihale ha Krete, huje ugali nganye imongwa zyutii izya zyasagalile hagamalishe na vhavhishe Azehee wishiwaza kila khaya nishipalaji zyaga.
6 if there be a man blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not under an accusation or debauchery, or disorderly conduct.
Azehe wishivhaza wasahalalamishe, ulume abhanje nushi omwo walina wana awaminiwa wasayangwa ama wasani ishisvii.
7 For a bishop ought to be irreproachable, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not irritable, not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy of filthy lucre;
Ni muhimu wavhenyii, yawimila uwi nyumba iya Ngulubvi aga ndavhe uli silaumu, amganda lalamishe angamutu wibwango uwasawikhana. Alazimiha angahve mwalahombwa ga ndafumilane numwene agandevhe wivho asaheze avhe wanyonyoywe amanyonye.
8 but the stranger’s host, the good man’s friend, grave, just, holy, temperate;
Usimamizi awanje wakalibisye, yawaza uwiza awanje mudhu wijele. Zyunhi awe wana lyoli, uyahuputa Ungulubhi uwakha nayuya.
9 firmly attached to the faithful word, according to the doctrine delivered, that he may be able to exhort with sound instruction and to confute the opposers.
Unu awezya asimamile inyipoto izyana lwolisha manyizye. Ili awezyaaje awa pinye moyo gibhawamazye apele gamanyizye amiza lyawezya awapendulanya awandulanye awahukhana, afanaje winji wazileshe indajizyo hasa wala tohala inongwa yao yamapuli yapuluzya bhakhopela.
10 For there are many disorderly persons vainly talkative, and under a spirit of delusion, especially some of the circumcised;
Pipo awawitejele wiji hasa watohala utunongwa twao twapuruzye. Wakhopela nawalongozye awadhu araposhe.
11 whose mouths ought to be muzzled, who pervert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Iwaziwa abhazije abhadhuniivho bhawamanyizya gala gasatafundizye agasagawazi wa kwa fainda idhi dhinho ni wananganye nganya uwizyo wudhi.
12 One of them, a poet of their own nation, hath said, The Cretans are always liars, wicked beasts, slothful gluttons.
Mutiyao, mutu upole ayanga, “Wakrete wali ni lenga lwasalimaliha bhavhivhi makhanu hatali bholo natena bhapafuu.”
13 This testimony is true. For which cause rebuke them with severity, that they may be sound in the faith;
Enya gawelezewa gana lwoli ishiubhakhane wikhone liwazye ayanje ilwoli mulwizyo.
14 not attending to Jewish fables, and injunctions of men, who have turned away from the truth.
Awe ungandawisanganye nivilalo au ndalozya sazi papa izya Kiyahudi ama hamutii zwabhabhu abha bhawuzya khosi wanalwoli.
15 All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled.
Wabhobhi walishiza ivhibhu na shimo shalishiza afatane inzi ozyao dhilika zyaozi chafuliwe.
16 They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Wahwitiha humanye Ungulubhi, lelo imbombo zyao zikhana abhene wani nthavu habhawiyisyeswa sabhahakisiwe humbombe inyiza.
