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,
Une che Paolo, jundi jwakutumichila jwa Akunnungu ni nduna jwa Che Yesu Kilisito, ngunnembela chikalata chi mwe che Tito. Uneji najichikwe kwalongosya ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu kuti ŵakulupilile ni kuumanyilila usyenesyene ni kutama yaikuti pakwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
2 upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, (aiōnios g166)
Chikulupi ni umanyilisi wa usyene wu ikutupa chilolelo cha umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Akunnungu ŵangakombola kusala ya unami, ŵatupele chilanga cho chikanaŵe kugumbikwa chilambo. (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,
Ŵaliunukwile liloŵe lyakwe pa katema kakwe. Une napegwilwe utenga wo kwa lilajisyo lya Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu juŵangulupilile kuti naulalichile kwa ŵandu.
4 to Titus — true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!
Chikalata chi ngunnembela mmwe che Tito, mwanangu jwa usyenesyene jutukukamulangana mu chikulupi chimo. Ngunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ni Che Yesu Kilisito nkulupusyo jwetu.
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;
Nanlesile ku Kilete kuti nkombole kuikolosya yanayose yaisigalile ni kwaŵika achakulu ŵa mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito mu musi wauli wose mpela indite kunnajisya,
6 if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or insubordinate —
chilongola jwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ni jwali ni jwankongwe jumo, ni ŵanache ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵangaŵechetelwa nkati wende wangalumbana atamuno ungapilikanichisya.
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;
Pakuŵa jwakuujimilila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito akusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwangali magambo gagali gose, ligongo jwelejo ali jwakwimilila masengo ga Akunnungu. Ngakusachilwa kuŵa mundu jwa chibuli atamuno jwakalipa atamuno jwakolelwa atamuno jwakuputa atamuno kuŵa mundu jwakunonyelwa nnope mbiya.
8 but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded, righteous, kind, self-controlled,
Nambo ikuŵajilwa aŵe jwakunonyelwa kwapochela achalendo ni jwakunonyelwa ni indu yambone ni jwakulitulusya ni jwakupanganya yaikwanonyelesya Akunnungu ni jwanswela ni jwakukombola kulilongosya nsyene.
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;
Akusachilwa kulikamulisya liloŵe lyakukulupilichika mpela yaitite kujiganyikwa, kuti akombole kwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵane kwa majiganyo ga usyene ni kwalosya ileŵo yao ŵandu ŵakugakana majiganyo go.
10 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers — especially they of the circumcision —
Pakuŵa kwana ŵandu ŵajinji nnopennope ŵaali mu mpingo wa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵagalawiche ni kunkulupilila Kilisito, ŵele ŵakukanila kupilikana, akuŵecheta wamba ni akwalyungasya ŵandu ŵane.
11 whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Ŵele ŵandu akanyichikwe kuŵecheta, pakuŵa akwatindiganya ŵandu ŵa majumba gamajinji kwa kwiganya indu yangaŵajilwa kwiganya, akutenda yele kwa nningwa wangalumbana wa kupatila mbiya.
12 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said — 'Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!'
Namose jumo jwa ŵakulondola ŵao achinsyene jwali Mkilete ŵatite, “Ŵakilete ali ŵa unami moŵa gose, ali mpela ijama yakusakala, ŵaulesi ni ŵakunyela.”
13 this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Umboni wu uli wausyenesyene. Kwa ligongo lyo, mwajamuche kwa kalipa kuti akole chikulupi chisyene.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth;
Mwajiganye aleche kupilikanila ngano sya unami sya Ŵayahudi namose malajisyo ga ŵandu ŵakuukanila usyene.
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 chindu chili cheswejele kwa ŵandu ŵaswejele paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo ngapagwa chindu chachili cheswela kwa ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵangakwakulupilila Akunnungu, pakuwa nganisyo syao ni ntima wa kukumbuchila kuitenda indu yambone ijonasiche.
16 God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved.
Ŵandu ŵa akwitichisya kuti akwamanyilila Akunnungu, nambo mu ipanganyo yao akwakana. Ŵandu wo ali ŵakuchima ni ŵakutindiganya tindiganya, namose ngakukombola kupanganya masengo gagali gose gambone.
