< 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,
Wakombokeye kwiuluya pababbile apendo babaisimika, kwoyowa noyeketya panga kila lyengo ligolou.
2 not speak evil of any one, nor be contentious, but yield unselfishly to others and constantly manifest a forgiving spirit towards all men.
Wakombokeye kanabapangi ayabe malau baleke yomana, baleki na benge amwa makowe gabapalapanga no laya kwiuluya kwabe kwa benge.
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.
Kwa kitumbu na twenga twateoba kwo gania kwitu. Twaobite muulau no no pangilwa twa abanda kwo minyikiya malau na kwipulaikya lunia. twatami mu bwigu na ulau twate kwauchi aitu nouchiana.
4 But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,
Kiya sa nnungu nkosopoli witu na upendo wke kwa bandu pawaboninike.
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,
Yabile kwa kitumbu sopanga magolou kwituli ila kwa Neema, atitukosopolya kwa kutugolwa kwo belekwa kae na kutupanga twa bayambe kwa Roho mpeletau.
6 which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Nnungu anetike Roho mpeletau kunaniyitu kwapotya Yesu Kristo mkosopoli witu.
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)
Apangitenya lenga mana tubalangilwe haki kwa Neema tube na ukakape woba twamope mumaisha ga milele. (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.
Leleno likowe lyo aminika. Nimpala mulongele kwa likakala makowe gano. Linga balu babamwubilia Nnungu babe na zamila inanoga yababikite nungi yabe. Ikowe yino inanoga na ina faida kwa bandu boti.
9 But hold yourself aloof from foolish controversies and pedigrees and discussions and wrangling about the Law, for they are useless and vain.
Lakini wileke ikoye yakilalo na sabana sindana, yumana kwipala selia. Ikoye yii ntupu maana wala faida.
10 After a first and second admonition, have nothing further to do with any one who will not be taught;
Munkane mundu ywoywote ywa pala kumagana. baada ya kunkwilika mara jimo au mara ibele.
11 for, as you know, a man of that description has turned aside from the right path and is a sinner self-condemned.
Maana mundu ywoywo ailei ndila inanoga apanga sambi na enda kwiukumu mwene.
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.
Panantuma Artemi, au Tikiko wayumbiteke waise kaasangu kuna nikopoli kwa niamuite tama wakati wa mbepo.
13 Help Zenas the lawyer forward on his journey with special care, and Apollos, so that they may have all they require.
Uyunguye untume Zena mtaalam kwa salia, na Apolo, bila pungwa kilebe.
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.
Bandu bitu lasima bakasane kiyegana lyengo linanoga bakana panga kasi yange matunda.
15 Every one here sends you greeting. Greet the believers who hold us dear. May grace be with you all.
boti bababile na nenga banda kusalimu. basalimie bote twatubile na imani jimo. Baraka ibe na mwenga.
