Tito 3
1 Ririkanagia andũ acio atĩ maathĩkagĩre anene na arĩa maathanaga, na matuĩke aathĩki, na makoragwo mehaarĩirie kũruta wĩra wothe mwega,
REMIND them to be subject to princes and those invested with authority, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work,
2 ningĩ matikae gũcambia mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, no makorwo marĩ a thayũ na acaayanĩri, na monanagie mĩtugo ya ũhooreri harĩ andũ othe.
to slander no man, to be inoffensive, gentle, shewing all meekness to all men.
3 Nĩ ũndũ hĩndĩ ĩmwe-rĩ, o na ithuĩ twarĩ akĩĩgu, na tũtiathĩkaga, na tũkaheenekaga; twarĩ ngombo cia merirĩria ma mĩthemba yothe o na ikeno ciothe. Twatũũraga tũrĩ na rũmena na ũiru, tũgathũũragwo o na tũgathũũranaga mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũtugi wa Ngai Mũhonokia witũ na wendo ũrĩa atwendete naguo ciaguũranĩirio-rĩ,
But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth,
5 nĩatũhonokirie, na ti ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũthingu marĩa twekĩte, no nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciake. Agĩtũhonokia na ũndũ wa gũtũtheria, agĩtũciara rĩngĩ na agĩtwerũhia na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru,
not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;
6 ũrĩa aatũitĩrĩirie na ũtaana nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mũhonokia witũ,
which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 nĩgeetha twatuuo athingu nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake, tũtuĩke agai a muoyo wa tene na tene kũringana na ũrĩa tũtũire twĩrĩgĩrĩire. (aiōnios g166)
that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Ũhoro ũcio nĩ wa kwĩhokeka. Na ngũkĩenda waragie maũndũ maya ũgwatĩirie, nĩgeetha andũ arĩa mehokete Ngai memenyerie kwĩrutĩra na kĩyo gwĩkaga maũndũ mega. Maũndũ maya nĩ magĩrĩru kũna, na nĩ marĩ uumithio harĩ mũndũ o wothe.
Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
9 No rĩrĩ, eheragĩra ngarari cia ũrimũ, na ũhoro wa gũkinyĩra njiarwa, na gũkararania, na mbaara cia ũhoro wa watho, tondũ maũndũ macio matirĩ uumithio, na nĩ ma tũhũ.
But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga kũgĩe na nyamũkano-rĩ, mũkaanagie riita rĩa mbere, na rĩa keerĩ. Thuutha wa ũguo, regana nake.
An heretical person after a first and second admonition reject;
11 Wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmenya atĩ mũndũ ta ũcio nĩ mwaganu na nĩ mwĩhia; nake we mwene nĩetuĩrĩire ciira.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12 Ndaarĩkia gũtũma Aritema kana Tukiko kũrĩwe, geria ũrĩa ũngĩhota ũũke kũrĩ niĩ gũkũ Nikopoli, tondũ nĩkuo nduĩte gũikara ihinda rĩa heho.
When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, hasten to come to me unto Nicopolis: for there I have determined to pass the winter.
13 Ĩka ũrĩa wothe ũngĩhota ũteithie Zena ũrĩa wakiri, na Apolo rĩrĩa marĩkorwo marĩ rũgendo-inĩ, na wone atĩ marĩ na indo ciothe iria mabatarĩtio nĩcio.
Send forward diligently Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting for them.
14 Nao andũ aitũ nĩmemenyerie kũrutaga mawĩra marĩa mega, nĩguo mateithagĩrĩrie mabataro-inĩ ma o mũthenya nĩguo matigatũũre mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ na uumithio.
And let those who belong to us learn also to be pre-eminent in good works for all necessary calls, that they be not without fruits.
15 Andũ arĩa othe tũrĩ nao nĩmamũgeithia. Geithia andũ arĩa othe matwendete thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio. Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
All that are with me salute thee. Salute those who love us with fidelity. Grace be with you all. Amen. This epistle was written to Titus appointed by suffrage first bishop of the church of Crete, from Nicopolis in Macedonia.
