Titus 1
1 Paul a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for promoting the faith of God's chosen people, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness:
Paulo, omukosi wa Nyamuanga intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, kulwekilisha lya bhasolwa bha Nyamuanga no bhwengeso bhwe chimali bhunu obhuleta obhulengelesi.
Bhali mubhwiikanyo bhwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende bhunu Nyamuanga unu atakutula kwaika lulimi asosishe omulago gwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
3 and hath in his own times manifested his word, by the preaching, with which I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour:
Omwanya gwejile gweya nasulula omusango gwaye mubhusimusi bhunu ananile naike. Janyiile okukola kutyo Nyamuanga alagiliye oyo ali mukisha weswe.
4 to Titus my son in the common faith, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Ku Tito, omwana we chimali mu likilisha lyeswe. Echigongo, lisasila no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata na Yesu Kristo omwelusi weswe.
5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou mightest set in order what remained, and ordain elders in every city as I directed thee:
Kwo nakolele ninkusiga Krete koleleki ugamalishe amagambo gone ganu galiga gachali okuwa no kutulako abhakaluka bha ikanisa bhuli musi lwa kutyo nakulagiliye.
6 to wit, if any one be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of debauchery, or unruly.
Omukaruka wa ikanisa asiga kubha ne soro, omulume wo mugasi umwi, unu ali na bhana bhalengelesi bhanu bhatakwaikwa mabhibhi nolwo bhulangi langi.
7 For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain:
Jiire omutangasha unu kemeleguluru inyumba ya Nyamuanga asige kubha ne soro. Atabha munu wa injogele amwi unu atakwibhalilila. Ni bhusi bhusi asige kubha mwangu wo kubhiililwa, asige kubha mutamiji, asige kubha unu kaletelesha obhulwani, asiga kubha wa inamba.
8 but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Nawe abhega mukumi wa bhagenyi, unu kenda obhwekisi. Jiire abhe no bhwenge bhwe kisi, ali mulengeresi, unu kamubhaya Nyamuanga, abhe mwilindi.
9 holding fast the faithful word, according as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to instruct in sound doctrine, and to convince gainsayers.
Abhe unu kemeregururu ameigisho ge chimari ganu geigisibhwe, koleleki atulega okukomesha emyoyo ku meigisho ge kisi kubhaiga abhajimamba.
10 For there are many disorderly persons, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision; whose mouths must be stopped:
Okubha bhalio bha nyantongwa bhanfu, muno muno abho rutendo. Emisango jebhwe ni jo bhulangi langi. Mbajigi jigi no kubhatangasha abhanu mubhujabhi.
11 who subvert whole families, teaching what they ought not, for shameful gain:
Jiire okubhaganya abhanu rwabho. Abheigisha bhinu bhitabheire kurwa mabhona go bhurigerige abhanyamula misi jone.
12 as said one of themselves, a prophet of their own, "The Cretans are always liars, mischievous beasts, sluggish gluttons."
Umwi webhwe, omunu wo bhwengeso, aikile, Abhakrete bhano lulimi lunu lutana bhutelo, bhabhibhi, ni ntyanyi mbibhi, ni bhalenga na bhatubhe.
13 This testimony is true: for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be found in the faith;
Okwaika okwo ni kwa chimari, kulwejo ubhaganye kwa managa gone koleleki bhaike echimari cha mukwikirisha.
14 not attending to Jewish fables, and the precepts of men who turn away from the truth.
Awe usige otegeresha jingani ja Bhayaudi jinu jitari ja chimari amwi ebhiragiro bhya bhanu, bhanu abhafutatira ebhye chimari.
15 To the pure indeed all things are pure; but to the polluted and unbelieving nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience is polluted.
Ku bhanu bherere, bhyone ni bhyeru. Nawe chitariwo chinu cheru kubhajabhi na bhanyantekirisha.
16 They profess to know God, but in works deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every thing that is good void of understanding.
Abhaika ati chimumenyere Nyamuanga, mbe nawe mubhikorwa bhyebhwe abhamulema. Abho ni bhajabhi ka ni bhanyantongwa. Ka bhateire mu bhikorwa bhyone bhyone bhya kisi.
