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,
Ikalata iji jihumile kulyune ne Paulo ne m'bombi ghwa Nguluve, kange ne n'sung'hua ghwa Yeesu Kilisite. Une nisung'ilue nivalungike avabaghulua va Nguluve mulwitiko namuvukagusi uvwa kyang'ani vuno vukuvalongosia mumaghendele amimike.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
valinuluhuvio ulwa vumi uvwa kisila na kusila vuno uNguluve alyalaghile kuhuma iisi ye jikyale kupelua umwene naijova uvudesi. (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:
Mun'siki ghwa Nguluve ghuno ghufikile, alyavonesisie ilisio lyake mu mhola jinoalyamelile une kudalikila. jikanighanile kuvomba ndiki kululaghilo lya Nguluve mpoki ghwitu.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
kwa Tiito, umwana ghwa lweli mu lwitiko lwitu. ulusungu, ikisa nulutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata nu Yesu Kiisite mpoki ghwitu.
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;
mu uluo nikakulekile kuti, usitende sooni sinasikao kamilike na kuvika avalolesi va tembile mumakaja ghoni ndavule finonikakulaghiile.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
umulolesi ghwa tembile avaghile kuva kisila lupiko, mughosi ghwa n'dala jumo, unyavana vitiki vanonavilolela na vasila lwitiki.
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,
luvaghile kuvalolesi ndavule umwimilisi ghwa likaaja lwa Nguluve, alekaghe piva nulupiko. nangavisaghe munhu ghwa njeghelo au juno naikujisigha, nangavisaghe munhu ghwa kutengulisia uvuhovesi kange nagavisaghe mhojofu.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
looli avisaghe ntengeleli, junoikela inofu, avisaghe nyaluhala lunolukwiliine, mugholofu juno ikum'bingilila uNguluve nyakughela.
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.
junoiwesia kukwimilia imbulanisio sa lweli sinosivulanisivue, neke awesie kuvakangasia mu mbulanisio inono juno iwesia kukuvavunga vooni vanovikunkana.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
ulwakuva kulinavahosi vinga, vinga vala vano navakundi. amasio ghavanave gheghakijasu, visyanga na kukuvalongosia avanhu muvusyovi.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
luvaghile kukuvasigha avanhu ndavule avuo. vivulanisia ghala ghano naghavavaghile kuluvumbulilo lwa soni nakunangania ikaja soni.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
jumonga muvanave, umunhu unyaluhala alyatiile,”avakelete valinuvudesi vusila vusililo, vahene fikanu, voolo na vanyamwojo,”
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
injovele iji je ja lweli, lino uvasighe ku ngufu neke kuti wawesie kujova ilweli mu lwitiko.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
uleke kupulikisia ifipango fino nafyalweli ifya kiyahudi ni ndaghilo sa vanhu, vano vavulekile uvunyakyang'ani.
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.
kuvanhu voni vano valogholofu, ifinu fyoni fivalasivue, looli kuvala voni vano vanavano na valamafu kange navitiki, ifinhu fyoni filamafu. ulwakuva amasaghe ghave nuluvumbulilo lwave lulamafu.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
vikujova veene kuti vamanyile unguluve, neke kumaghendele ghaave vikun'kaana. avuo vahosi kange navitiki. navanoghile nambe mumbombo jimonga inofu.
