Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Paulo mitumi wang'wa Itunda hangi mutung'wa wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuuhueli wasagulwa ang'wi Tunda nuuhugu wa tai nuileta utaua.
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
Akole muuhuili wa upanga wa kale nakale sunga Itunda nisingawiligitya uteele aulagile kuupuma ikale. (aiōnios g166)
3 But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Kumatungo yayo aulupimilye ulukani lakwe mu mbugulu aumpee une kutanatya. Aizepee kitumo ite kwilago lag'wi Itunda muguni witu.
4 To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Kung'wa Tito ng'wana watai muuhueli witu. Ukende nuuasilya, nuupolo kuupuma kung'wi Tunda tata nuukung'wa Yesu Kilisto muguni witu.
5 For this cause left I you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed you:
Konsoko eyii ite nikakuleka ku Krete, ingi umazipilye imakani ehi naakele kukonda nukuika ianyampala, akanisa kwa kila kisale anga nainukulagiye.
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Munyampala nuuitekelo walekekutula wimelwa, mugoha wa musungu ung'wi, nukete eana ahueli neshanga itegwa kumakani nimabe hangi alekekutula agila anga adabu.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Ingi muhimu kumugozeeli, mu nyumba ang'wi Tunda, alekekutula nikimilwi. Azesinga muntu wiogo ang'wi singawigiilya. Singa wikaya kutaka walekekutula mugala ntule, aleke kutula muntu nuweta wilea, aleketula nsula.
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Apagwainge: watule muntu musingeeli, mulowa numuzalazima atule muntu nuketi imahala nakondanei, nukete itai muuhueli wang'wi Tunda, nuuimila ung'wenso.
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the disputers.
Nuhumile kemiila umanyisigwatai namanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwa nuuza, hange wakume kuanonelya ehi niakumugilya.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Kunsoko akule endu asukile nyuma, hangi awo niabadisigwe. Hangi nkani yaupungu. Niaputalya nakuatongela aintu muulimili.
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they should not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Inonee kuagilya iantu anga nianso. Akumanyisa ayo nishanonee kunsailo aminyala, nukubipya eantu ao ehi.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Ung'wi ao muntu nukete mahala, wikalunga, Wakrete akote uteele nuugila mpelo, abi hangi ikale niitaki, akatahangi alaku.
13 This witness is true. Why rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Ingi inkazi yatai, ite gwa uagilye kungulu, ahume kutambula itai muhuueli.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Uewe ulekekihangwila mumahumo nisingaatai, akiyahudi ang'wi malago aantu, niisusha ikenyuma itai.
15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Kuawa ehi niaza, maintu ehi ni maza. Kuawa ehi niabe nawaga niagila uuhueli kutile nikiza. Kunsoko imasego ao nusinganilye wao wabipile.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
Akulunga amumanyile Itunda, lakini kuntendo yao amuhitile. Nianso anyamilandu nishanga agombile. Nishangaahoiwe kuluka ni lehi nuluza.
