Titus 3

1 Be putting them in mind, unto rulerships, unto authorities, to be in submission, to be yielding to rule, for every good work, to be, prepared,

Uvayeudzire ivo kuzviisa pasi pevatungamiriri nevabati, vavateerere, vakazvigadzirira basa rese rakanaka,

2 To be defaming, no one, to be, averse to strife, considerate, shewing, all, meekness unto all men.

varege kuchera munhu, varege kuva vakakavari, vanyoro, vaitire vanhu vese unyoro hwese.

3 For, even we, used, at one time, to be—thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another.

Nokuti nesu pachedu taimbova matununu, vasingateereri, tichitsauswa, tichishumira kuchiva nemafaro zvakasiyana-siyana, tichirarama mukushata negodo, tichivenga, tichivengana.

4 But, when, the graciousness and affection for man of our Saviour God, shone forth,

Asi apo unyoro nerudo kuvanhu zvaMwari Muponesi wedu zvoonekwa,

5 Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us—through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the moulding anew of Holy Spirit.—

kwete zvichibva pamabasa ekururama atakaita isu, asi zvichienderana netsitsi dzake wakatiponesa, kubudikidza nekushambidzwa kwekuberekwa kutsva nekuvandudzwa kweMweya Mutsvene,

6 Which he poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

waakadururira achiwanza pamusoro pedu, kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Muponesi wedu,

7 In order that, having been declared righteous by his favour, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

kuti tichinzi takarurama nenyasha dzake, tive vadyi venhaka zvichienderana netariro yeupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

8 Faithful, the saying! And, concerning these things, I am minded that thou be strongly affirming, in order that they who have believed God may be careful to be forward, in noble works. These things, are honourable, and profitable unto men;

Ishoko rakatendeka, uye izvi ndinoda kuti musimbise zvirokwazvo, kuti vakatenda kuna Mwari vachenjerere kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka. Ndizvo zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira kuvanhu;

9 But, foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strife, and contentions about matters of law, avoid, for they are unprofitable and vain.

asi nzvenga mibvunzo yeupenzi nenhoroondo dzemazita emadzinza nemakakatanwa nemakakava pamusoro pemurairo, nokuti hazvibatsiri uye hazvina maturo.

10 From a party-man, after a first and second admonition, excuse thyself;

Munhu anotsauka shure kwekurairwa kwekutanga nekwechipiri umurambe,

11 Knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.

uchiziva kuti uyo wakadaro wakatsauka, uye anotadza, achizvipa mhosva amene.

12 As soon as I shall send Artemus unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come to me unto Nicopolis; for, there, have I determined to winter.

Pandichatuma Aritema kwauri, kana Tikiko, ushingaire kuuya kwandiri kuNikopori; nokuti ndakazvipira kugarapo pachando.

13 Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, do thou diligently set forward on their way, in order that, nothing, unto them, may be wanting.

Shingaira kubatsira Zenasi mududziri wemurairo naAporo parwendo rwavo, kuti kusava nechinhu chinoshaikwa kwavari.

14 Moreover, let our own learn to be forward, in honourable works, for the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

Nevekweduwo ngavadzidze kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka anodikanwa pakushaiwa, kuti varege kuva vasina zvibereko.

15 All they who are with me salute thee. Salute thou them who regard us with faithful affection. Favour, be with you all.

Vese vaneni vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vanotida parutendo. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi mese. Ameni.
