Titus 3
1 Remind people that they must submit to the rulers who are in authority over them; that they must obey the magistrates, be prepared for every right action,
Mubayeezye kuti balibombye kubendelezi akulibasimulawu, kamubaswlizya, akulibambila kuli yonse milimu mibotu
2 not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.
Mubayezye kutawambula bubi awumwi, kutaba achiyandisyo chakulwana, alimwi abusichamba, akutondezya kuliwinsya kubantu bonse.
3 For there was a time when we also were deficient in understanding, obstinate, deluded, the slaves of various cravings and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
Nkambo limwi lyamazuba iswe lwesu twakali abaya batayeeyi akutaswilizya. Twakazulwidwa mukusweka alimwi akuba mubuzike kwinda aziyandisyo zisiyene siyene alimwi azibotezya. Twakali kupona mububi amumabbivwe. Twakali chisesemyo alimwi katutayandani abamwi.
4 But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,
Pesi eelyo buuya bwa Leza Mufutuli wesu antomwe aluyando lwakwe lwakumisyobo yoonse yakayubunuka,
5 as righteous men, had done, but as the result of His own mercy He saved us by means of the bath of regeneration and the renewal of our natures by the Holy Spirit,
Tensi kwakali kwamilimo yabusalali obo mbutwakachita swebo, pesi mukwinda muluse lwakwe elyo wakatufutula, kwindila mukusanzigwa a Muuya Uusalala.
6 which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Leza wakafonkola watila Muuya Uusalala alindiswe mukwinda mumufutuli wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
7 in order that having been declared righteous through His grace we might become heirs to the Life of the Ages in fulfilment of our hopes. (aiōnios g166)
Ezi wakazichita kuti tululamikwe kuluzyalo, tuzobe basikukona katulabulangizi bwabuumi ibutamani. (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.
Oyu mulumbe ulasyomeka. Ndiyanda kuti mwambule chabusichaamba atala azintu ezi, kuchitila kuti abo bakasyoma muli Leza bajatisye mumilimo mibotu. Makani mabotu, alalugwasyo kubantu boonse.
9 But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.
Pesi amuleke kukazyania kwabufubafuba alimwi amazyalani amikowa amapenzi akutamvwanana atala amulawo. Ezyo zintu tazikwe mpindu alimwi tazigwasyi.
10 After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;
Mumukake nabaani uyetelezya kwanzaana akati kanu, nimwamana kumuchenjezya lumwi na tubili,
11 for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.
mbuli mbomuzi kuti muntu uliboobo wakasanduka kuzwa munzila iluleme alimwi ulokubisya ulikulipa mulandu lwakwe.
12 After I have sent Artemas or Tychicus to you, lose no time in joining me at Nicopolis; for I have decided to pass the winter there.
Elwo nindatuma Atemasi naba Tuchikkasi kulindinywe, ufwambane alimwi usike kulindime ku Nikkopolisi, oko nkundakayeeya kulomaninsya chindi champeeyo nkendinkuko.
13 Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.
Ufwambane utume Zenasi, unikide kumilawu, antomwe a Apolosi, enzila yakuti batakabuli chintu.
14 And let our people too learn to set a good example in following honest occupations for the supply of their necessities, so that they may not live useless lives.
Bantu besungabayiiye kulinjizya lwabo beni kumilimu mibotu eyo ipa ziyandisi akufwambana alimwi kuti batabi bantu batazyali michelo.
15 Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.
Boonse abo balandime balikumujuzya. Mubajuzye bonse abo batuyanda mulusyomo. Luzyalo alube anywebo moonse.
