Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —
Pauro, muranda waMwari, nemuapositori waJesu Kristu, zvichienderana nerutendo rwevasanangurwa vaMwari nekuziva chokwadi chiri pakunamata Mwari,
2 In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios g166)
patariro yeupenyu husingaperi, uhwo Mwari asingagoni kureva nhema hwaakavimbisa nhambo dzenguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)
3 but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:
asi panguva dzakafanira wakaratidza shoko rake nekuparidza kwakaiswa mumaoko angu zvichienderana nemurairo waMwari Muponesi wedu,
4 Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
kuna Tito, mwana wangu chaiye zvichienderana nerutendo rwatinodyidzana: Nyasha, tsitsi, rugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe Jesu Kristu Muponesi wedu.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —
Nekuda kwaizvozvi ndakakusiya paKrete, kuti ugadzirise zvakasara, uye ugadze vatariri muguta rega-rega, sezvandakakuraira ini;
6 If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;
kana aripo asina chaangapomerwa, murume wemukadzi umwe, ane vana vakatendeka, vasingapiwi mhosva yekusazvidzora, kana kusateerera.
7 For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,
Nokuti mutariri anofanira kuva asina chaangapomerwa, semuchengeti weimba waMwari; asina mukundo, asingakurumidzi kutsamwa, asiri muraradzi, asiri murwi, asingakariri fuma yakaipa,
8 But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,
asi anofarira kugamuchira vaenzi, anoda zvakanaka, anozvidzora, wakarurama, mutsvene, anozvibata,
9 Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.
anobatisisa shoko rakatendeka sezvaakadzidziswa, kuti agone kukurudzira nedzidziso mhenyu, uye kupwisa vakakavari.
10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —
Nokuti vazhinjiwo varipo vasingateereri, vanotaura zvisina maturo nevanyengeri, zvikuru avo vekudzingiswa,
11 Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.
vanofanira kudzivira miromo yavo; vanopidigura misha yese, vachidzidzisa zvinhu zvavasingafaniri, nekuda kwefuma yakaipa.
12 Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:
Umwe pakati pavo, anova muporofita wavo pachavo, wakati: VaKrete vagara vari varevi venhema, zvikara zvakaipa, simbe dzinokara.
13 This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,
Uchapupu uhu ndehwechokwadi. Nekuda kwechikonzero ichi uvatsiure zvakasimba, kuti vagwinye parutendo,
14 Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:
vasingateereri ngano dzeVaJudha nemirairo yevanhu vanofuratira chokwadi.
15 All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;
Kune vakachena zvinhu zvese zvakachena; asi kune vakasvibiswa nevasingatendi hakuna chakachena, asi kufunga kwavowo nehana zvakasvibiswa.
16 God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
Vanobvuma kuti vanoziva Mwari, asi pamabasa vanomuramba, vari vanyangadzi nevasingateereri uye vasingabatsiri pabasa rese rakanaka.
