Tito 1
1 Paulo ntumwa wa Nnungu na ntumwa wa Yesu kilisito kwa haminia, panga bandu bake Nungu na hakili yake ya uhakika ya ileta aminia.
PAULOS, a servant of Aloha, and apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, for the faith of the chosen ones of Aloha, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of Aloha;
2 Babile katika haminia ukoto wa milele wa Nungu juwa wechali baya ubuchu hatiaidi milele. (aiōnios g166)
unto the hope of eternal life, which Aloha the true counselled before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)
3 Kwa wakati wapangite. Hatiumukwa likowe liake katika jukumu mbeile nenga chimulia likowe liake. yatinibidi panganyo naipeilwe jukumu na Nnungu nkombochi witu.
and his word hath revealed in his time by our preaching, which was confided to me by the command of Aloha our Saviour:
4 Kwa tito mwana wangu kiukwli katika haminia kwitu, Neema, tuipatike uku witu buka kwa Nnungu tati bitu na Yesu kristu hatitukomboa twenga. Kwa sababu wenga natikuleka Krete.
To Titos, my true son in the common faith. Grace and peace from Aloha the Father and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour.
5 Kwa sababu mambo uyabike vizuri gote gagabile bado kamilika natibika bandu mukanisa liak kwa kila neema ganikulekile wenga.
For this I left thee in Kreta, that those things which were wanting thou mayest rectify, and constitute presbyters in every city as I commanded thee.
6 Mzee wa kanisa kana habe nalikosa lioliote habe na nalume wa nwawa yumo, ywa bile na bana bakweli banga likupekelwa makowe kumbwali mundu.
Him who is without blame, and is the husband of one wife, and who hath believing children, who are not vicious nor addicted to intemperance.
7 Ni muimu kwa kiongosi, msimamisi wa nyumba ya Nnungu kana habe na lawama, kana habe mundu nduti, kana habe na nyonge, kana hanywe wimbi, kana habe nabulwe, kana habe natama.
For a presbyter is bound to be without blame, as the steward of Aloha; he shall not be led by the will of self, nor be irascible, nor a transgressor over wine, neither shall his hand be hasty to strike, nor shall he be a lover of sordid gains.
8 Habe mundu wa kalibicha bandu, ywapenda mema, ywabile na akili na nchima, ywa penda akihamwamini Nnungu, ywa itawala mwene.
But he shall be a lover of guests, and a lover of the good, and be chaste, and equitable, and holy, and withholding himself from lusts;
9 Ywa manyi kagayemelya mapandiso gaga pundisilwe ili awese kubayea moyo kwa mapundiso gana nnoga nakuagalambwa boti babakana.
and careful over the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able also to comfort by his teaching the healthy, and to reprove those who are contentious.
10 Maana baba kana bananchima mno mno babo kotwike pita nikombe makoe gabe akilalo banda kuakomba na kubaindi bandu kumbu katika upotofu.
For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision,
11 Lasima kubakinya bhandu katibo babapundi gangali na gapaikanagaoni gangali faida na kuibomwana nyumba yoti.
those, whose mouths it behoves to stop. Many houses they destroy, and teach what they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.
12 Mundu yumo, atibaya ywaabi na busara “Aakrete bai na uboso wangali mwaiso, anyatau manyama ganatari mkata ywange yukuta.”
One of them, a prophet of their own, hath said, The sons of Kreta are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy bellies.
13 Aga ganikubakia ga-kweli, kwa iya ubakanikie kwa ngupu leka balongele ikoe ya kweli katika imani.
And true is this testimony. Wherefore reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 Wenga kana ujingie katika adithi ya ubonjo ya kiyaudi au amri ya bandu bo ikoeya kweli kuipanga ubonjo.
nor cast themselves to the fables of the Jihudoyee, and to the mandates of men who hate the truth.
15 Kwa boti baba pelekite ikowe yote mbeleteka. boti babile asapo bange amini utopo sakipeletike, kwa kuwa mawaso gabe na fikra yabe itichafuliwa.
For every thing is pure to the pure; but to those who are polluted and unfaithful nothing is pure; but their understanding and their conscience are polluted.
16 Baipanga kumtanga Nnungu lakini kwa makowe gabe bana kumkana bembeni baasi na bangali tii awaku banda bonekalia kwa kikowe chochoti chana unoga.
And they profess to know Aloha, but in their works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and reprobate to every good work.
