Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Pauro, muranda waMwari, nemuapositori waJesu Kristu, zvichienderana nerutendo rwevasanangurwa vaMwari nekuziva chokwadi chiri pakunamata Mwari,
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
patariro yeupenyu husingaperi, uhwo Mwari asingagoni kureva nhema hwaakavimbisa nhambo dzenguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
asi panguva dzakafanira wakaratidza shoko rake nekuparidza kwakaiswa mumaoko angu zvichienderana nemurairo waMwari Muponesi wedu,
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
kuna Tito, mwana wangu chaiye zvichienderana nerutendo rwatinodyidzana: Nyasha, tsitsi, rugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe Jesu Kristu Muponesi wedu.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you;
Nekuda kwaizvozvi ndakakusiya paKrete, kuti ugadzirise zvakasara, uye ugadze vatariri muguta rega-rega, sezvandakakuraira ini;
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
kana aripo asina chaangapomerwa, murume wemukadzi umwe, ane vana vakatendeka, vasingapiwi mhosva yekusazvidzora, kana kusateerera.
7 For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Nokuti mutariri anofanira kuva asina chaangapomerwa, semuchengeti weimba waMwari; asina mukundo, asingakurumidzi kutsamwa, asiri muraradzi, asiri murwi, asingakariri fuma yakaipa,
8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;
asi anofarira kugamuchira vaenzi, anoda zvakanaka, anozvidzora, wakarurama, mutsvene, anozvibata,
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
anobatisisa shoko rakatendeka sezvaakadzidziswa, kuti agone kukurudzira nedzidziso mhenyu, uye kupwisa vakakavari.
10 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Nokuti vazhinjiwo varipo vasingateereri, vanotaura zvisina maturo nevanyengeri, zvikuru avo vekudzingiswa,
11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
vanofanira kudzivira miromo yavo; vanopidigura misha yese, vachidzidzisa zvinhu zvavasingafaniri, nekuda kwefuma yakaipa.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."
Umwe pakati pavo, anova muporofita wavo pachavo, wakati: VaKrete vagara vari varevi venhema, zvikara zvakaipa, simbe dzinokara.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Uchapupu uhu ndehwechokwadi. Nekuda kwechikonzero ichi uvatsiure zvakasimba, kuti vagwinye parutendo,
14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.
vasingateereri ngano dzeVaJudha nemirairo yevanhu vanofuratira chokwadi.
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Kune vakachena zvinhu zvese zvakachena; asi kune vakasvibiswa nevasingatendi hakuna chakachena, asi kufunga kwavowo nehana zvakasvibiswa.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Vanobvuma kuti vanoziva Mwari, asi pamabasa vanomuramba, vari vanyangadzi nevasingateereri uye vasingabatsiri pabasa rese rakanaka.
