Tito 1
1 Paulo mitumi wang'wa Itunda hangi mutung'wa wang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuuhueli wasagulwa ang'wi Tunda nuuhugu wa tai nuileta utaua.
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2 Akole muuhuili wa upanga wa kale nakale sunga Itunda nisingawiligitya uteele aulagile kuupuma ikale. (aiōnios g166)
in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)
3 Kumatungo yayo aulupimilye ulukani lakwe mu mbugulu aumpee une kutanatya. Aizepee kitumo ite kwilago lag'wi Itunda muguni witu.
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4 Kung'wa Tito ng'wana watai muuhueli witu. Ukende nuuasilya, nuupolo kuupuma kung'wi Tunda tata nuukung'wa Yesu Kilisto muguni witu.
to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 Konsoko eyii ite nikakuleka ku Krete, ingi umazipilye imakani ehi naakele kukonda nukuika ianyampala, akanisa kwa kila kisale anga nainukulagiye.
I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
6 Munyampala nuuitekelo walekekutula wimelwa, mugoha wa musungu ung'wi, nukete eana ahueli neshanga itegwa kumakani nimabe hangi alekekutula agila anga adabu.
if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 Ingi muhimu kumugozeeli, mu nyumba ang'wi Tunda, alekekutula nikimilwi. Azesinga muntu wiogo ang'wi singawigiilya. Singa wikaya kutaka walekekutula mugala ntule, aleke kutula muntu nuweta wilea, aleketula nsula.
For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 Apagwainge: watule muntu musingeeli, mulowa numuzalazima atule muntu nuketi imahala nakondanei, nukete itai muuhueli wang'wi Tunda, nuuimila ung'wenso.
but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9 Nuhumile kemiila umanyisigwatai namanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwe, wahume kuapa nsula na munkolo kumanyisigwa nuuza, hange wakume kuanonelya ehi niakumugilya.
holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 Kunsoko akule endu asukile nyuma, hangi awo niabadisigwe. Hangi nkani yaupungu. Niaputalya nakuatongela aintu muulimili.
For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Inonee kuagilya iantu anga nianso. Akumanyisa ayo nishanonee kunsailo aminyala, nukubipya eantu ao ehi.
whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12 Ung'wi ao muntu nukete mahala, wikalunga, Wakrete akote uteele nuugila mpelo, abi hangi ikale niitaki, akatahangi alaku.
One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13 Ingi inkazi yatai, ite gwa uagilye kungulu, ahume kutambula itai muhuueli.
This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Uewe ulekekihangwila mumahumo nisingaatai, akiyahudi ang'wi malago aantu, niisusha ikenyuma itai.
not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15 Kuawa ehi niaza, maintu ehi ni maza. Kuawa ehi niabe nawaga niagila uuhueli kutile nikiza. Kunsoko imasego ao nusinganilye wao wabipile.
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Akulunga amumanyile Itunda, lakini kuntendo yao amuhitile. Nianso anyamilandu nishanga agombile. Nishangaahoiwe kuluka ni lehi nuluza.
They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
