Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Christ Jesus, for the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Paulo mitumi wang'wa Itunda hangi mutung'wa wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuuhueli wasagulwa ang'wi Tunda nuuhugu wa tai nuileta utaua.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
Akole muuhuili wa upanga wa kale nakale sunga Itunda nisingawiligitya uteele aulagile kuupuma ikale. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word through the preaching with which I was intrusted by the commandment of God our Saviour:
Kumatungo yayo aulupimilye ulukani lakwe mu mbugulu aumpee une kutanatya. Aizepee kitumo ite kwilago lag'wi Itunda muguni witu.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Kung'wa Tito ng'wana watai muuhueli witu. Ukende nuuasilya, nuupolo kuupuma kung'wi Tunda tata nuukung'wa Yesu Kilisto muguni witu.
5 For this cause I left thee behind in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed thee;
Konsoko eyii ite nikakuleka ku Krete, ingi umazipilye imakani ehi naakele kukonda nukuika ianyampala, akanisa kwa kila kisale anga nainukulagiye.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Munyampala nuuitekelo walekekutula wimelwa, mugoha wa musungu ung'wi, nukete eana ahueli neshanga itegwa kumakani nimabe hangi alekekutula agila anga adabu.
7 For a bishop must be without reproach, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,
Ingi muhimu kumugozeeli, mu nyumba ang'wi Tunda, alekekutula nikimilwi. Azesinga muntu wiogo ang'wi singawigiilya. Singa wikaya kutaka walekekutula mugala ntule, aleke kutula muntu nuweta wilea, aleketula nsula.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Apagwainge: watule muntu musingeeli, mulowa numuzalazima atule muntu nuketi imahala nakondanei, nukete itai muuhueli wang'wi Tunda, nuuimila ung'wenso.
9 holding fast the sure word according to what he was taught, that he may be able by sound teaching both to exhort, and to refute the gainsayers.
Nuhumile kemiila umanyisigwatai namanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwa nuuza, hange wakume kuanonelya ehi niakumugilya.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Kunsoko akule endu asukile nyuma, hangi awo niabadisigwe. Hangi nkani yaupungu. Niaputalya nakuatongela aintu muulimili.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Inonee kuagilya iantu anga nianso. Akumanyisa ayo nishanonee kunsailo aminyala, nukubipya eantu ao ehi.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Ung'wi ao muntu nukete mahala, wikalunga, Wakrete akote uteele nuugila mpelo, abi hangi ikale niitaki, akatahangi alaku.
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Ingi inkazi yatai, ite gwa uagilye kungulu, ahume kutambula itai muhuueli.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Uewe ulekekihangwila mumahumo nisingaatai, akiyahudi ang'wi malago aantu, niisusha ikenyuma itai.
15 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled.
Kuawa ehi niaza, maintu ehi ni maza. Kuawa ehi niabe nawaga niagila uuhueli kutile nikiza. Kunsoko imasego ao nusinganilye wao wabipile.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Akulunga amumanyile Itunda, lakini kuntendo yao amuhitile. Nianso anyamilandu nishanga agombile. Nishangaahoiwe kuluka ni lehi nuluza.
