Titus 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion,
Paulo, n'tumishi ghwa K'yara ni n'tume ghwa Yesu Kristu, kwa imani jha bhateule bha K'yara ni maarifa gha bhukweli jhajhileta bhutauwa.
2 in hope of the Life of the Ages which God, who is never false to His word, promised before the commencement of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Bhajhele mu tumaini lya bhusima bhwa milele ambabho K'yara jhaibhwesya lepi kudeta bhudesi abhuahidi kuhoma milele. (aiōnios g166)
3 And at the appointed time He clearly made known His Message in the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Saviour:
Kwa bhwakati muafaka, alifunuili lilobhi lya muene mu ujumbe bhwa anipelili nene kuhubiri. Jhinilondekeghe kukheta naha kwa amri jha K'yara mwokozi bhitu.
4 To Titus my own true child in our common faith. May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Kwa Tito, mwana ghwa bhukweli mu imani jha tete. Neema, k'esa ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi ni Yesu Kristu mwokozi ghwetu.
5 I have left you behind in Crete in order that you may set right the things which still require attention, and appoint Elders in every town, as I directed you to do;
Kwandabha ejhe nakulekili Krete, kujha ughatanganesiajhi mambo ghoha ghaghajhele ghabelikukamilika ni kubheka bhaseya bha kanisa kwa kila mji kama kyanikulaghisi.
6 wherever there is a man of blameless life, true to his one wife, having children who are themselves believers and are free from every reproach of profligacy or of stubborn self-will.
Mzee ghwa kanisa lazima asijhi ni lawama, n'gosi ghwa n'dala mmonga, jhaajhele ni bhana bhaaminifu bhabhashuhudibhu lepi mabhobhi au bhabhabeli kujha ni nidhamu.
7 For, as God's steward, a minister must be of blameless life, not over-fond of having his own way, not a man of a passionate temper nor a hard drinker, not given to blows nor greedy of gain,
Ni kinofu kwa muangalizi ghwa K'yara, asijhi ni lawama. Asijhi munu ghwa njuegho au jhaabelili kwizuila. Lazima asijhi njonjofu ghwa ligoga, asijhi ndefi, asijhi munu ghwa kusababisya ngondo, na asijhi ni tamaa.
8 but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled;
Badala jhiake: ajhelayi munu n'karibisiajhi, jhailonda bhwema. Lazima ajhelayi munu mwenye luhala luoha, mwenye haki, mcha K'yara, jhaikitawala muene.
9 holding fast to the faithful Message which he has received, so that he may be well qualified both to encourage others with sound teaching and to reply successfully to opponents.
Jhaibhwesya kujhemelela mafundisu gha bhukweli ghaghamanyisibhu, ili abhwesiajhi kubhapela muoyo kwa mafundisu manofu na jhaibhwesya kubharekebisya bhoha bhabhakampela.
10 For there are many that spurn authority--idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.
Kwa kujha bhajhe bhaasi bhamehele, hasa bhala bha tohara. Malobhi gha bhene gha bhukonyofu. Bhikofya ni kubhalongosya bhanu mu bhukonyofu.
11 You must stop the mouths of such men, for they overthrow the faith of whole families, teaching what they ought not, just for the sake of making money.
Lazima kubhabesya bhanu kama abhu. Bhimanyisya ghala ghabhilondekalepi kumanyisya kwa faida sya soni ni kuharibu familia syoha,
12 One of their own number--a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs--has said, "Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons."
Mmonga bhabhi, munu jhaajhe ni busara, ajobhili, “Bhakrete bhajhe ni udesi bhwabhubelikujha ni mwishu, bhabhibhi ni bhanyama bha hatari, bhafifu ni bhalafi.”
13 This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,
Majhelesu agha gha bhukweli, henu abhabesiajhi kwa nghofu ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kujbha bhukweli mu imani.
14 and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men who turn their backs on the truth.
Bhebhe usikihusishi ni fijegu fyafibelikujha fya bhukweli sya Kiyahudi au amri sya bhanu, ambabho bhikerebhusya kunyuma bhukweli.
15 To the pure everything is pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure, but on the contrary their very minds and consciences are polluted.
Kwa bhoha bhabhajhele kinofu, fenu fyoha finofu. Lakini kwa bhoha bhabhajhele bhachafu na bhabhabelili kukiera, kijhelepi kyajhele kinofu. Kwa kujha mabhuasu gha bhene ni dhamira sya bhene sichafulibhu.
16 They profess to know God; but in their actions they disown Him, and are detestable and disobedient men, and for any good work are utterly useless.
Bhikiri kummanya K'yara, lakini kwa matendu gha bhene bhikambela. Bhene ndo bhaovu na bhitii lepi. Bhasibilishibhulepi kwa kitendo lyolyoha linofu.
