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,
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 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
mu diana di luzingu lukalumani. Luzingu lolo Nzambi yoyi yika yilendivuna ko kavanina tsila tuamina thonono yi zitsungi. (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:
Vayi thangu bu yifuana, niandi wuzabikisa mambu mandi mundongolo yoyi ndiyekodolo boso buididi lutumunu lu Nzambi Mvulusi eto,
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
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 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;
Bila ndibikila ku Kelete kiawu kiaki: wukubika mambu moso masiala ayimuingi wubieka mintuadisi mi Dibundu mu kadika divula boso bu nditumina.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
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 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,
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 hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
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 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.
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 unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Bila bawombo kaba tumamananga ko, banyolukanga mambu ma phamba; bamvunanga batu. Badi bawombo muidi Bayuda.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base 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 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
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 rebuke 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 commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
ayi babika singimina mu zinongo zi Bayuda ayi zithumunu zi batu bobo beti vengama mu mambu ma kiedika.
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.
“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 that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
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.
