< Tito 3 >

1 Ririkanagia andũ acio atĩ maathĩkagĩre anene na arĩa maathanaga, na matuĩke aathĩki, na makoragwo mehaarĩirie kũruta wĩra wothe mwega,
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to 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 speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto 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 were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũtugi wa Ngai Mũhonokia witũ na wendo ũrĩa atwendete naguo ciaguũranĩirio-rĩ,
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
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 by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; (pneuma)
6 ũrĩa aatũitĩrĩirie na ũtaana nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mũhonokia witũ,
Which he shed on us abundantly 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 being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the 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.
This is a faithful saying, (logos) and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto 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 avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are useless and vain.
10 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga kũgĩe na nyamũkano-rĩ, mũkaanagie riita rĩa mbere, na rĩa keerĩ. Thuutha wa ũguo, regana nake.
A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmenya atĩ mũndũ ta ũcio nĩ mwaganu na nĩ mwĩhia; nake we mwene nĩetuĩrĩire ciira.
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself.
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 you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to 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.
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be lacking unto 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 our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
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 you. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
