Pauro, muranda waMwari, nemuapositori waJesu Kristu, zvichienderana nerutendo rwevasanangurwa vaMwari nekuziva chokwadi chiri pakunamata Mwari,
2 ukukholwa lokwazi okweyame ethembeni lokuphila okulaphakade okwathenjiswa ekudatshulweni komhlaba nguNkulunkulu (aiōnios g166)
patariro yeupenyu husingaperi, uhwo Mwari asingagoni kureva nhema hwaakavimbisa nhambo dzenguva dzisati dzavapo, (aiōnios g166)
3 njalo ngesikhathi sakhe esimisiweyo wabonakalisa ilizwi lakhe ngentshumayelo engayiphathiswa ngomlayo kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu,
asi panguva dzakafanira wakaratidza shoko rake nekuparidza kwakaiswa mumaoko angu zvichienderana nemurairo waMwari Muponesi wedu,
4 KuThithu indodana yami ngokukholwa kwethu sonke ngithi: Umusa lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba lakuKhristu uJesu uMsindisi wethu.
kuna Tito, mwana wangu chaiye zvichienderana nerutendo rwatinodyidzana: Nyasha, tsitsi, rugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba, naIshe Jesu Kristu Muponesi wedu.
5 Engakutshiyela khona eKhrethe yikuthi uqondise lokho okwasala kungaphelanga njalo ubeke abadala bebandla emizini yonke njengokukulaya kwami.
Nekuda kwaizvozvi ndakakusiya paKrete, kuti ugadzirise zvakasara, uye ugadze vatariri muguta rega-rega, sezvandakakuraira ini;
6 Umdala webandla kumele abe ngongasolekiyo, indoda elomfazi oyedwa, indoda elabantwana abakholwayo njalo abangelacala lobudlwangudlwangu loba ukwedelela.
kana aripo asina chaangapomerwa, murume wemukadzi umwe, ane vana vakatendeka, vasingapiwi mhosva yekusazvidzora, kana kusateerera.
7 Njengoba umthungameli ephathiswe umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kumele angabi lasici, angazikhukhumezi, ongazondi masinyane, ongasisosidakwa, ongathandi ukulwa, ongadingi inzuzo ngobuqili.
Nokuti mutariri anofanira kuva asina chaangapomerwa, semuchengeti weimba waMwari; asina mukundo, asingakurumidzi kutsamwa, asiri muraradzi, asiri murwi, asingakariri fuma yakaipa,
8 Kodwa kumele abe ngophatha kuhle izihambi, othanda okuhle, ozikhuzayo, oqondileyo, ongcwele lozithibayo.
asi anofarira kugamuchira vaenzi, anoda zvakanaka, anozvidzora, wakarurama, mutsvene, anozvibata,
9 Kumele abambelele elizwini eliqotho njengokufundiswa kwalo ukuze akhuthaze abanye ngemfundiso eqotho njalo amelane lalabo abayiphikisayo.
anobatisisa shoko rakatendeka sezvaakadzidziswa, kuti agone kukurudzira nedzidziso mhenyu, uye kupwisa vakakavari.
10 Ngoba banengi abantu abahlamukayo, abakhulumayo nje kanye labakhohlisi ikakhulu abeqembu lokusoka.
Nokuti vazhinjiwo varipo vasingateereri, vanotaura zvisina maturo nevanyengeri, zvikuru avo vekudzingiswa,
11 Kumele bathuliswe ngoba bachitha imizi epheleleyo ngokufundisa izinto okungamelanga bazifundise besenzela ukuthola inzuzo ngobuqili lenkohliso.
vanofanira kudzivira miromo yavo; vanopidigura misha yese, vachidzidzisa zvinhu zvavasingafaniri, nekuda kwefuma yakaipa.
12 Omunye wabaphrofethi babo wathi, “AbaseKhrethe ngabantu bamanga, izilo ezimbi, izihwaba ezingamavila.”
Umwe pakati pavo, anova muporofita wavo pachavo, wakati: VaKrete vagara vari varevi venhema, zvikara zvakaipa, simbe dzinokara.
13 Ubufakazi lobu buliqiniso. Ngakho-ke, bakhuze ngamandla ukuze baqine ekukholweni
Uchapupu uhu ndehwechokwadi. Nekuda kwechikonzero ichi uvatsiure zvakasimba, kuti vagwinye parutendo,
14 bangalaleli izinganekwane zamaJuda loba imilayo yalabo abadela iqiniso.
vasingateereri ngano dzeVaJudha nemirairo yevanhu vanofuratira chokwadi.
15 Kwabahlambulukileyo izinto zonke zihlambulukile kodwa kulabo abaxhwalileyo njalo bengakholwa akulalutho oluhlambulukileyo. Ngempela, ingqondo lezazela zabo konke kuxhwalile.
Kune vakachena zvinhu zvese zvakachena; asi kune vakasvibiswa nevasingatendi hakuna chakachena, asi kufunga kwavowo nehana zvakasvibiswa.
16 Bathi uNkulunkulu bayamazi kodwa ngezenzo zabo bayamphika. Bayenyanyeka, bayadelela njalo kabafanelanga ukwenza loba kuyini okuhle.
Vanobvuma kuti vanoziva Mwari, asi pamabasa vanomuramba, vari vanyangadzi nevasingateereri uye vasingabatsiri pabasa rese rakanaka.
