Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
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 on hope of continuous life, which God, who does not lie, promised before times of ages (aiōnios g166)
mu diana di luzingu lukalumani. Luzingu lolo Nzambi yoyi yika yilendivuna ko kavanina tsila tuamina thonono yi zitsungi. (aiōnios g166)
3 (and He revealed His word in [His] own times), in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Savior,
Vayi thangu bu yifuana, niandi wuzabikisa mambu mandi mundongolo yoyi ndiyekodolo boso buididi lutumunu lu Nzambi Mvulusi eto,
4 to Titus—true child according to a common faith: Grace, [[kindness, ]] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior!
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 I left you in Crete, that you may arrange the things lacking, and may set elders down in every city, as I appointed to you,
Bila ndibikila ku Kelete kiawu kiaki: wukubika mambu moso masiala ayimuingi wubieka mintuadisi mi Dibundu mu kadika divula boso bu nditumina.
6 if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate—
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 it is required of the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleased, nor prone to anger, not given to wine, not an abuser, not given to shameful gain,
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 strangers, a lover of [the] good, sober-minded, righteous, holy, self-controlled,
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—according to the teaching—to the steadfast word, that he may also be able to exhort in the sound teaching, and to convict the deniers;
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 both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers—especially those of the circumcision—
Bila bawombo kaba tumamananga ko, banyolukanga mambu ma phamba; bamvunanga batu. Badi bawombo muidi Bayuda.
11 whose mouths must be covered, who overturn whole households, teaching what things it should not, for [the] sake of shameful gain.
Bufueni mu kuba kangisa miunu bila zinzo ziwombo balembo zimbisabu beti longa mambu ma kambulu fuana mu diambu di babaka zimbongo mu luvunu.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans! Always liars, evil beasts, lazy 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 testimony is true; for which cause convict 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 commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth.
ayi babika singimina mu zinongo zi Bayuda ayi zithumunu zi batu bobo beti vengama mu mambu ma kiedika.
15 All things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and nothing [is] pure to the defiled and unsteadfast, but even the mind and the conscience of them [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 to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works, being abominable, and disobedient, and disapproved to every good work.
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.
