< 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 principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,
2 ningĩ matikae gũcambia mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, no makorwo marĩ a thayũ na acaayanĩri, na monanagie mĩtugo ya ũhooreri harĩ andũ othe.
of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome — gentle, showing 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 were once — also we — thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious — hating one another;
4 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũtugi wa Ngai Mũhonokia witũ na wendo ũrĩa atwendete naguo ciaguũranĩirio-rĩ,
and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear
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 that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness, ) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 ũrĩa aatũitĩrĩirie na ũtaana nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ Mũhonokia witũ,
which He poured 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 having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during. (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.
Stedfast [is] the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works — who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things 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.
and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from — 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.
A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be rejecting,
11 Wagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmenya atĩ mũndũ ta ũcio nĩ mwaganu na nĩ mwĩhia; nake we mwene nĩetuĩrĩire ciira.
having known that he hath been subverted who [is] such, and doth sin, 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, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.
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.
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
14 Nao andũ aitũ nĩmemenyerie kũrutaga mawĩra marĩa mega, nĩguo mateithagĩrĩrie mabataro-inĩ ma o mũthenya nĩguo matigatũũre mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ na uumithio.
and let them learn — ours also — to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Andũ arĩa othe tũrĩ nao nĩmamũgeithia. Geithia andũ arĩa othe matwendete thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio. Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace [is] with you all!
