< Tito 3 >
1 Uakimbushe kusima kuatongeeli, uhumi kugomba, nukutula tayali kumulimo wihi nuuza.
Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 Uakimbushe alekekumutendela muntu wihi nimabi inege nukibisha, aape elyoma iantu niangiza kitu uulamuli kulagilya kusima kuantu ehi.
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility towards all men.
3 Kuite nusese aikukite masigo mabi hangi aikilugoha. Aikukole muulimeli, aekatendile kiatungwa kunsula yiolu niyawidesi. Aikikae muwilu nuubi aikabepilye nukibepelwa.
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Kunsoko amatungo akuaisiligwa ni Tunda muguni witu nuulowa wakwe kuantu wikigeela,
But when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love towards mankind appeared,
5 singae kuntendo yitu niyatai niaikitumile, inge aukugunile kuukende wakwe. Aukugunile kwakuoja kwakuutuga hangi nukuutenda hangi keapya kung'wang'welu.
not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 Itunda wamulagile ung'waung'welu kuudu kunsoko itu kukiila Yesu Kilisto muguni witu.
whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 Aie witumile eti kunsoko, kuaiiligwe tai, kuukende wakwe, kutule palungwi muupanga wa tai nuwakalenakale. (aiōnios )
that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios )
8 Ulu inge lukani la uhueli. Nimutakile mumatambule kwa ngulu wihi inkani izi, kunsoko awa niamuhuiee Itunda atule nimasego, nsoko amilemo nimiza naumiikile tongela ao. Makani aya maza hange akete nsailo kuantuehi.
This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
9 Inge minege nuudui nuupungu, nanasoba wikungumi, nimigongano, nimalago. Makani nanso magila anga ndogoelyo sunga insailo.
but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Muhiti wihi nukumuletekelyo wisapatilyi mung'wanywu. Baada akuahugula ung'we kang'wi abiile,
Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
11 mulinge inge iantu niihanganga ite, amilekile itai hangi mutuma milandu ikinyamilimo ung'wenso.
knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
12 Niinikamutuma kung'wako Alitemi ang'wi Tikiko, kawize kunu kung'waane. Nikopoli inge nagomba kikie mumatungo ampepo.
When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Kaya umutume Zena mutaalamu kumalago no Apolo, kuhita kuhiilwa nikintu.
Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14 Iantu itu inonee amanye kidumilya mumilimo mumilimo nimiza nukukimbusha muula alekekutula alekekutula akuite gwa alekekutula shanga ituga inkali.
Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Ehi mahole palung'wi nunene akulamusha. Alamushe niakuloilwe muhuili.
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
