Titus 3

1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

Uvayeudzire ivo kuzviisa pasi pevatungamiriri nevabati, vavateerere, vakazvigadzirira basa rese rakanaka,

2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

varege kuchera munhu, varege kuva vakakavari, vanyoro, vaitire vanhu vese unyoro hwese.

3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Nokuti nesu pachedu taimbova matununu, vasingateereri, tichitsauswa, tichishumira kuchiva nemafaro zvakasiyana-siyana, tichirarama mukushata negodo, tichivenga, tichivengana.

4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

Asi apo unyoro nerudo kuvanhu zvaMwari Muponesi wedu zvoonekwa,

5 not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

kwete zvichibva pamabasa ekururama atakaita isu, asi zvichienderana netsitsi dzake wakatiponesa, kubudikidza nekushambidzwa kwekuberekwa kutsva nekuvandudzwa kweMweya Mutsvene,

6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

waakadururira achiwanza pamusoro pedu, kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Muponesi wedu,

7 that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

kuti tichinzi takarurama nenyasha dzake, tive vadyi venhaka zvichienderana netariro yeupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)

8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

Ishoko rakatendeka, uye izvi ndinoda kuti musimbise zvirokwazvo, kuti vakatenda kuna Mwari vachenjerere kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka. Ndizvo zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira kuvanhu;

9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

asi nzvenga mibvunzo yeupenzi nenhoroondo dzemazita emadzinza nemakakatanwa nemakakava pamusoro pemurairo, nokuti hazvibatsiri uye hazvina maturo.

10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,

Munhu anotsauka shure kwekurairwa kwekutanga nekwechipiri umurambe,

11 knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

uchiziva kuti uyo wakadaro wakatsauka, uye anotadza, achizvipa mhosva amene.

12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

Pandichatuma Aritema kwauri, kana Tikiko, ushingaire kuuya kwandiri kuNikopori; nokuti ndakazvipira kugarapo pachando.

13 Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

Shingaira kubatsira Zenasi mududziri wemurairo naAporo parwendo rwavo, kuti kusava nechinhu chinoshaikwa kwavari.

14 Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

Nevekweduwo ngavadzidze kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka anodikanwa pakushaiwa, kuti varege kuva vasina zvibereko.

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Vese vaneni vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vanotida parutendo. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi mese. Ameni.
