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,
U Paulo utumwa nu Ngulubhi nutumwa nu Yesu UKristi hulwitio lwateuliwa wa Ngulubhi mahala ga lwoli galeta mahala gisangahusu.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
Wawile musubhiluo lyiumi wawila wula Ngulubhi siga awajilea wandeilenga watusubhivhizye awa nde wila na wila. (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:
Igamasala gakwe akwinkula izyoo lwakwe munongwa uwapvile anee aulumbelele. Ihaziwa abhombe ismihulazimisye yaguvu ya Ngulubhi ufhulo wetu.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Wa Tito, umwana uwanalwoli aligane nishawamini wakwe ulusulo lwituu, huyi ugwiphana nu waushea fume wa Ngulubhi uDada nu Yesu Ukristi ufhulu wetu.
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;
Hunongwa ene ihale ha Krete, huje ugali nganye imongwa zyutii izya zyasagalile hagamalishe na vhavhishe Azehee wishiwaza kila khaya nishipalaji zyaga.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Azehe wishivhaza wasahalalamishe, ulume abhanje nushi omwo walina wana awaminiwa wasayangwa ama wasani ishisvii.
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,
Ni muhimu wavhenyii, yawimila uwi nyumba iya Ngulubvi aga ndavhe uli silaumu, amganda lalamishe angamutu wibwango uwasawikhana. Alazimiha angahve mwalahombwa ga ndafumilane numwene agandevhe wivho asaheze avhe wanyonyoywe amanyonye.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Usimamizi awanje wakalibisye, yawaza uwiza awanje mudhu wijele. Zyunhi awe wana lyoli, uyahuputa Ungulubhi uwakha nayuya.
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.
Unu awezya asimamile inyipoto izyana lwolisha manyizye. Ili awezyaaje awa pinye moyo gibhawamazye apele gamanyizye amiza lyawezya awapendulanya awandulanye awahukhana, afanaje winji wazileshe indajizyo hasa wala tohala inongwa yao yamapuli yapuluzya bhakhopela.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Pipo awawitejele wiji hasa watohala utunongwa twao twapuruzye. Wakhopela nawalongozye awadhu araposhe.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Iwaziwa abhazije abhadhuniivho bhawamanyizya gala gasatafundizye agasagawazi wa kwa fainda idhi dhinho ni wananganye nganya uwizyo wudhi.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Mutiyao, mutu upole ayanga, “Wakrete wali ni lenga lwasalimaliha bhavhivhi makhanu hatali bholo natena bhapafuu.”
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Enya gawelezewa gana lwoli ishiubhakhane wikhone liwazye ayanje ilwoli mulwizyo.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Awe ungandawisanganye nivilalo au ndalozya sazi papa izya Kiyahudi ama hamutii zwabhabhu abha bhawuzya khosi wanalwoli.
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.
Wabhobhi walishiza ivhibhu na shimo shalishiza afatane inzi ozyao dhilika zyaozi chafuliwe.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Wahwitiha humanye Ungulubhi, lelo imbombo zyao zikhana abhene wani nthavu habhawiyisyeswa sabhahakisiwe humbombe inyiza.
