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,
Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Mlungu na ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu. Neni nsyagulwa kuinyawa njimiru ya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu na kuwalonguziya waumani unakaka wa makaliru ga kumfiziya Mlungu,
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)
lweni liyanjiru lwakuwi ndo litumbiru lya kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Mlungu yakalonga ndiri mpayu, katugambiriti kala ukomu awu pamberi pakwanjira kila shintu, (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:
na shipindi shashifiriziwitwi pashisokiti kaulanguziya mushisoweru shakuwi. Neni wanupiti shisoweru ashi nushibweri kulawirana na Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu.
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.
Nukulembera gwenga Titu, yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru gwatutendaga pamuhera. Nukufilira uheri wa Mlungu na ponga kwa Mlungu Tati, na Kristu Yesu Mlopoziya gwetu.
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;
Nukulekiti mushisiwa sha Kireti gutendi weri vitwatira vya mafundu yagasigaliti, na kuwasyagula wazewi walongoziya mushipinga sha yawamjimira Kristu mukila lushi. Guliholi ganakulagaliriti,
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.
mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Kristu kafiluwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri, yakawera na mdala yumu hera, na wananguta wakuwi wafiruwa kuwera wajimira wa Kristu nawawera njuguluru na yawapikana ndiri.
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,
Toziya mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Yesu yakalolera vitwatira vya wantu ndo mgolokera gwa lihengu lya Mlungu, kafiruwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri na wamonga. Yakahera shikwimba na maya gapakwegera na mlowera na mndewu ama muntu yakalipanana ulunda kwa njira ya soni.
8 but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled;
Kafiluwa kaweri muntu yakawashemera wantu na yakafira maheri na yakatenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu na katendi vitwatira ntambu yaifiruwa na kaweri mnanagala na yakalilewelera.
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.
Kafiluwa kakoli uweri shisoweru shirii sha ujimirika gambira ntambu yagufunda. Su kawezi kuwapanana moyu wamonga kwa mafundu ga nakaka. Na kugalaviya paweru madoda ga walii yawasinga mafundu aga.
10 For there are many that spurn authority--idle, talkative and deceitful persons, who, for the most part, are adherents of the Circumcision.
Toziya, kwana wantu wavuwa, hasa walii wawalawiti kulawa munjira ya Shiyawudi ya kumfata Mlungu na yawatakula visoweru vya vyahera mana na wawalema walongoziya wawu na wawazyanga wamonga kwa uzigizigi wawu.
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.
Kwa ntambu yoseri ilii mpaka kuvinyamaziya visoweru vyawu, toziya wavuluvutira kaya yoseri kwa kufunda vitwatira vyawafiruwa ndiri kufunda, watenda hangu kwa nfiru idoda ya kulipanana ulunda wa mpiya.
12 One of their own number--a Prophet who is a countryman of theirs--has said, "Cretans are always liars, dangerous animals, idle gluttons."
Ata yumu gwa wambuyi wawu, nayomberi viraa ndo Mkreti, kalongiti, “Wakureti watakulaga upayira mashaka goseri, ndo gambira wang'ongolu wadoda, walwaliya na waleri!”
13 This testimony is true. Therefore sternly denounce them, that they may be robust in their faith,
Na yomberi kapitawuliti nakaka. Su kwa hangu gufiliziwa guwakalipili nentu, su waweri na njimiru ya nakaka.
14 and not give attention to Jewish legends and the maxims of men who turn their backs on the truth.
Nawaendereya kuzikolera ntambu hera zya Shiyawudi na malagaliru ga wantu yagalawira kwa wantu yawaulemiti unakaka.
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.
Kila shintu ndo shinanaga kwa wantu wananaga, kumbiti kwahera shoseri shashiwera unanaga kwa walii yawadodoziyitwi na yawajimira ndiri, toziya mahala gawu na uwezu wawu wa kusyagula maheri ama madoda gahalibisiwa.
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.
Wantu gambira awa walitumba handa wamumana Mlungu, kumbiti kwa matendu gawu wamlema. Ndo wantu wa ngalaliru nentu na wantu wawapikanila ndiri, wafaa ndiri kutenda shitwatira shoseri shiherepa.
