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;
Polo, kisadi ki Nzambi ayi mvuala wu Yesu Klisto, boso buididiminu ki batu bobo basobolo ba Nzambi ayi boso buididi nzayilu yi mambu ma kiedika madi boso buididi khinzukulu yi mambu ma Nzambi,
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
mu diana di luzingu lukalumani. Luzingu lolo Nzambi yoyi yika yilendivuna ko kavanina tsila tuamina thonono yi zitsungi. (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Vayi thangu bu yifuana, niandi wuzabikisa mambu mandi mundongolo yoyi ndiyekodolo boso buididi lutumunu lu Nzambi Mvulusi eto,
4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
mfidisidi nkanda wawu kuidi Tite khatika, muanꞌama mu minu kioki tuidi mu kithuadi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi Tata ayi bi Klisto Yesu Mvulusi eto bibanga yaku.
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:
Bila ndibikila ku Kelete kiawu kiaki: wukubika mambu moso masiala ayimuingi wubieka mintuadisi mi Dibundu mu kadika divula boso bu nditumina.
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Kadika ntuadisi kabika ba bila kioki kafueti sembolo; kafueti ba bakala dikuela nketo wumosi kaka; beki bana bakuikama. Batu babika baka diluaku di fundila bana benit i khadulu yimbimbi badi voti batumiminanga batu ko.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Didi diambu di mfunu ti ntuadisi wu dibundu kafueti ba mutu kambulu tsembolo banga kisadi ki Nzambi wunkambu tulanga diana mu diela diandi, kafuemanga nsualu ko; kanuanga malavu ko; kanuananga ko, kabika ba mutu weti zola baka zimbongo mu mayuya.
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Kafueti ba mutu zebi yakulanga bumboti banzenza ayi kafueti ba mutu weti zola mamboti; kafueti ba mutu wu diela, mutu wusonga, mutu wuvedila, zebi kukiyala.
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.
Kafueti ba wukangama mu mambu ma kuikama boso buididi malongimuingi kaba wufuana mu lubula boso buididi malongi ma kiedika ayi mu bedisila bobo bamfindisanga ziphaka.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Bila bawombo kaba tumamananga ko, banyolukanga mambu ma phamba; bamvunanga batu. Badi bawombo muidi Bayuda.
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Bufueni mu kuba kangisa miunu bila zinzo ziwombo balembo zimbisabu beti longa mambu ma kambulu fuana mu diambu di babaka zimbongo mu luvunu.
12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Wumosi mu bawu, mbikudi awu veka wutuba ti: Basi Kelete badi bankua luvunu badi bibulu bimbimbi, ayi kisalu kiawu dia kaka ayi badi miolo.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Kimbangi kiaki kidi ki kiedika. Diawu wuba temina ngolo muingi baba minu ki kiedika
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
ayi babika singimina mu zinongo zi Bayuda ayi zithumunu zi batu bobo beti vengama mu mambu ma kiedika.
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.
“Bibioso bidi bivedila mu diambu di batu bobo badi bavedila” vayi bibioso bisi bivedila ko mu diambu di batu bobo badi basumuka ayi bakambulu minu ayi diela diawu ayi mayindu ma mintima miawu bidi bisumuka.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Muaki bambanzilanga ti bazebi Nzambi vayi bantunukanga Nzambimu mavanga mawu bila baba zolanga ko; basi bulemvo ko ayi balendi vangakadi diambu dimosi di mboti ko.
