Titus 3
1 PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
Ubanushe bantu kwambeti babenga babombelela kubatangunishi ne bendeleshi babo ne kubanyumfwila kayi nekulibambila kwinsa mulimo waina,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
kayi batambanga byaipa pa banabo nambi kuyambana, nsombi kuba babombelela ne kulesha bulemu kumuntu uliyense.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and 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 after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Nsombi inkumbo ne kuyanda kwa Lesa Mupulushi wetu mpobyalayubululwa,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
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 shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Lesa walatupa Mushimu Uswepa camakasa abili kupitila muli Yesu Klistu Mupulushi wetu.
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Walenseco kwambeti munkumbo shakendi tululamikwe pamenso a Lesa ne kwingila mubuyumi butapu ubo mbotulapembelelenga. (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto 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 avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; 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 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Muntu weshikuleta lupatuko pakati penu umucenjeshe mankanda abili, kufuma apo umusule.
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Ucinshi muntu wamushoboyu ni wazelezeka kayi kuzelezeka kwakendi kulalesheti walubila.
12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
Ndakatumunga Atema ne Tukiko kuli njobe, ukeleshe cangofu kwisa kuli njame ku Nikopoli, pakwinga enkondayeyenga akwikala mucindi ca mupewo.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Weleshe cangofu kunyamfwa Zena shimilawo, ne Apolo, pabulwendo bwabo, nekuboneti bintu byonse byayandika kuli endibo bilakwana.
14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
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. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
Bonse mbotuli nabo balamupanga mitende. Utupeleko mitende banetu bashoma, luse lwa Lesa lube nenjamwe mwense.
