Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
Nne Pauli, ntumwa jwa a Nnungu na ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, njitumwa kwa ligongo lya bhanndunji bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu, kwaalongoyanga ku ngulupai na kweli na namuna ja mmbone ja tama malinga shibhaapinga a Nnungu.
2 upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, (aiōnios g166)
Na kwa nneyo, ngulupai yabhonji yaapeleshelanje nnolelo gwa gumi gwa pitipiti gubhalajile a Nnungu, kuumila bhukala shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, na bhenebho bhakabheleketa ya unami. (aiōnios g166)
3 (and He manifested in proper times His word, ) in preaching, which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our Saviour,
Gubhagatendile malobhe gabho gamanyishe kwa malanga gubhapanjile, kwa ntenga gubhangamwiye, niinajila nunguye kwa mashili gabho bhayene a Nnungu bhaatapula bhetu.
4 to Titus — true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!
Jene bhaluwa jino, ngunakukujandishila ugwe Tito mwanangu jwa kweli nngulupai jikutulundanya pamo. Nema na ulele kukopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhaatapula bhetu, ibhe na ugwe.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;
Nashinkukuleka ku Kilete shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi, nkupinga umalishiye maengo galepeshe, na kwaabhikanga bhanangulungwa mmakanisha, kila shilambo malinga shinakulajile.
6 if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate —
Nkulungwa jwa likanisha anabhe mundu jwa gambwa. Alombe jwankongwe jumo, anabhe mundu jwa matala, na ashibhana bhabho bhabhanganje Bhakilishitu ukoto, wala bhanakolanje sha gambwa kwa itendi ya shonanga na ungakunda.
7 for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Pabha nkulungwa jwa likanisha anapinjikwa abhe mundu jwangali sha gambwa, pabha jwenejo ni mundu ajimilila liengo lya a Nnungu, anabhe mundu jwa mbwinya, eu jwa nngomo, eu jwa kolelwa, na wala anabhe jwa mipwai, na anabhe mundu jwangajogopa tokomala ga mmbiya,
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,
ikabhe abhe mundu jwa poshela bhajeninji na bhapita mpanda, na apinga ya uguja, na abhe mundu jwa lunda na jwa pinga ya aki, na abhe mundu jwa ukonjelo na kwiiluma.
9 holding — according to the teaching — to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict;
Anapinjikwa abhe mundu jwa kamulila ukoto lilobhe lya ngulupai malinga shajigenywe, nkupinga akombole kwaataganga ntima bhandu kwa majiganyo ga kweli, na abhapeyanje bhandu bhaataukanga.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers — especially they of the circumcision —
Pabha bhapalinji bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakaakananga, bhakwetenje malobhe gangali mana, bhanaminji, kajekaje bhaatolelelanga ga jaluka kubha shiumilo sha ukilishitu.
11 whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Inaapinjikwa kwaapeyanga bhene bhanganyabho bhanakolanje sha bheleketa, pabha bhanakwaapuganyanga bhandunji bha likaja lyowe, bhalijiganyanga indu ikapinjikwa, nkupinga bhaipatilanje mmbiya kwa tekeya bhandu.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said — 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'
Na mundu jumo akwiitemba nkulondola ashibheleketa kuti, “Bhandunji bha ku Kilete bhanami mobha gowe, bhannyama bha jogoya, na bhandunji bha kongolela kulya, na bhandunji bha ukata.”
13 this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Gene malobhego ga kweli. Kwa nneyo mwaakalipilanje kwa kaje, nkupinga bhaishimilikanje nngulupai ya kweli.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;
Bhanapilikanishiyanje ndango ya unami ya Bhayaudi, wala malajilo ga bhandunji bhaakananga indu ya kweli.
15 all things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast [is] nothing pure, but of them defiled [are] even the mind and the conscience;
Kila shindu shinakonja kwa mundu akonjile, ikabheje shakwa sha konja kubhandu bhanyatilenje mitima, na bhanyatilenje lumanyio na ng'aniyo yabhonji ya muntima.
16 God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.
Bhandunji bhakuitendanga kuti bhanakwaamanyanga a Nnungu, ikabheje kwa itendi yabhonji bhanakwaakananga, bhandunji bhaatendanga ya nnjimwa, bhaatendebhukenje a Nnungu, na wala bhakapwaanga kwa itendi yoyowe ili ya mmbone.
