Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of YHWH, and an apostle of Yahushua the Messiah, according to the faith of YHWH 's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after reverence;
Pauro, muranda waMwari, nemuapositori waJesu Kristu, zvichienderana nerutendo rwevasanangurwa vaMwari nekuziva chokwadi chiri pakunamata Mwari,
2 In hope of eternal life, which Elohim, who does not lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
patariro yeupenyu husingaperi, uhwo Mwari asingagoni kureva nhema hwaakavimbisa nhambo dzenguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of Elohim our Saviour;
asi panguva dzakafanira wakaratidza shoko rake nekuparidza kwakaiswa mumaoko angu zvichienderana nemurairo waMwari Muponesi wedu,
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Favour, mercy, and peace, from YHWH the Father and the Master Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour.
kuna Tito, mwana wangu chaiye zvichienderana nerutendo rwatinodyidzana: Nyasha, tsitsi, rugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe Jesu Kristu Muponesi wedu.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Nekuda kwaizvozvi ndakakusiya paKrete, kuti ugadzirise zvakasara, uye ugadze vatariri muguta rega-rega, sezvandakakuraira ini;
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
kana aripo asina chaangapomerwa, murume wemukadzi umwe, ane vana vakatendeka, vasingapiwi mhosva yekusazvidzora, kana kusateerera.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of YHWH; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Nokuti mutariri anofanira kuva asina chaangapomerwa, semuchengeti weimba waMwari; asina mukundo, asingakurumidzi kutsamwa, asiri muraradzi, asiri murwi, asingakariri fuma yakaipa,
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, set-apart, temperate;
asi anofarira kugamuchira vaenzi, anoda zvakanaka, anozvidzora, wakarurama, mutsvene, anozvibata,
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
anobatisisa shoko rakatendeka sezvaakadzidziswa, kuti agone kukurudzira nedzidziso mhenyu, uye kupwisa vakakavari.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Nokuti vazhinjiwo varipo vasingateereri, vanotaura zvisina maturo nevanyengeri, zvikuru avo vekudzingiswa,
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
vanofanira kudzivira miromo yavo; vanopidigura misha yese, vachidzidzisa zvinhu zvavasingafaniri, nekuda kwefuma yakaipa.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Umwe pakati pavo, anova muporofita wavo pachavo, wakati: VaKrete vagara vari varevi venhema, zvikara zvakaipa, simbe dzinokara.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Uchapupu uhu ndehwechokwadi. Nekuda kwechikonzero ichi uvatsiure zvakasimba, kuti vagwinye parutendo,
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
vasingateereri ngano dzeVaJudha nemirairo yevanhu vanofuratira chokwadi.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Kune vakachena zvinhu zvese zvakachena; asi kune vakasvibiswa nevasingatendi hakuna chakachena, asi kufunga kwavowo nehana zvakasvibiswa.
16 They profess that they know YHWH; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Vanobvuma kuti vanoziva Mwari, asi pamabasa vanomuramba, vari vanyangadzi nevasingateereri uye vasingabatsiri pabasa rese rakanaka.
