Tito 1

1 Nene Pauli, mtangatila wa Chapanga na mtumi wa Yesu Kilisitu, nene nihaguliwi kutumwa kuyijenga sadika ya vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga yeniyi na kuvalongosa vaumanya na kutama wumi wa kumganisa Chapanga.

Paul, a servant of God—an apostle moreover of Jesus Christ, —according to the faith of the chosen ones of God, and the personal knowledge of the truth that is according to godliness, —

2 Sadika yeniyi na umanya uwu vikutipela huvalila ya wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. Chapanga alagazili kutipela wumi hati kwakona mulima kuwumbwa. (aiōnios g166)

In hope of life age-abiding; which God, who cannot lie, promised before age-during times, (aiōnios g166)

3 Lukumbi lweluganikiwa pelwahikili. Akaligubukula muujumbi waki. Nene nagotoliwi ujumbi wenuwo niukokosa kulandana na malagizu ga Chapanga, Msangula witu.

but hath manifested in its fitting seasons, even his word, in the proclamation with which entrusted am I—by injunction of our Saviour God:

4 Nikuyandikila veve Tito, mwana vangu wa chakaka musadika yitu. Nikuganila ubwina na sadika kuhuma kwa Dadi Chapanga, na kwa Yesu Kilisitu, musangula witu.

Unto Titus, my true child according to a common faith, —favour and peace, from God [our] Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.

5 Nakulekili ku Kilete muni uvika bwina mambu gala gegavi gakona kuvya bwina, na kuvahagula vagogo vilongosi va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu mukila muji, ngati chenakulagazili,

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that, the things remaining undone, thou mightest completely set in order, and mightest establish, in every city, elders, as, I, with thee arranged: —

6 gogo chilongosi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu iganikiwa avya mundu mwangali kuhoka, mweana mdala mmonga ndu, na vana vaki viganikiwa kuvya vevakumsadika Kilisitu, vangali kuvya na matendu gahakau na vangayidakila.

If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;

7 Ndava muni gogo chilongosi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndi myimila wa lihengu la Chapanga. Iganikiwa kuvya mundu angahoka na angameka angali ligoga amala chigaligali, angali luhonda angagana kupata mashonga.

For it is needful that the overseer be—unaccusable, as God’s steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

8 Avya mundu mweikalibisa vayehe na mweigana mambu gabwina na avya mngolongondi na mweikita geigana Chapanga na avya mweajiwusili neju kwa Chapanga na mweihotola kujilongosa mwene.

But hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, kind, possessing self-control,

9 Iganikiwa kukamula ujumbi wula weusadikiwa ngati chauwuliwa. Ndi cheihotola kuvapela vangi mtima kwa mawuliwu gegavi gachakaka na kuvahotola kugafiyula mabudilu ga vala vevakugabela mawuliwu ago.

Holding fast, in the matter of his teaching, the faithful word, that he may be able both to encourage with his healthful instruction, and, the gainsayers, to refute.

10 Muni vavi vandu vamahele, neju vala vevihuma muchikundi cha Vayawudi ndi vevabwelili vevamsadika Kilisitu, ndi vanang'omo, na vakuvabudisa vangi kwa uyimu wavi.

For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, —

11 Ndi yiganikiwa kugagunisa malovi gavi, muni vakuvakita vandu vakotoka kuyuwangana mutamilu yamahele na kuvawula mambu gangaganikiwa kuwuliwa, vikita chenicho ndava ya mnogo uhakau wa kupata chiyonjokesu cha mashonga.

Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not [to be taught] —for the sake of base gain.

12 Hati mmonga wavi wa vamlota vave ndi mewa Mkilete, ajovili, “Vakilete vijova udese magono goha, ngati hinyama hihakau, vahutulu na vakata!”

Said one from among them, a prophet, of their own!—Cretans! always false, mischievous wild-beasts, idle gluttons:

13 Mambu ago geajovili ndi gachakaka, ndi uganikiwa uvaywangila neju, muni vahotola kuyima chakukangamala musadika ya chakaka.

This witness, is true, —for which cause, be reproving them sharply, that they may be healthy in their faith,

14 Vavawula kuleka kuyuwanila miluhumu ya Vayawudi yangali chindu amala mihilu yeyihuma kwa vandu vevabeli uchakaka.

Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:

15 Chindu chochoha chanyambiswi kwa vandu vevanyambiswi palongolo ya Chapanga, nambu kawaka chochoha chechinyambiswi kwa vandu vahakau na vangamsadika Chapanga, muni maholo na mtima wavi wa kukumbuka kukita gabwina amala uhakau uhalibiki.

All things, are pure, unto the pure, but, unto the polluted and faithless, nothing, is pure, but polluted are both their mind and conscience;

16 Vandu ngati avo vijova kuvya vammanyili Chapanga, nambu kwa matendu gavi vakumbela. Vandu veviyomesa neju na viyuwana lepi la mundu, vihotola lepi kuhenga lihengu loloha la bwina.

God, they confess that they know, but, by their works, they deny him, being, abominable, and obdurate, and, as to any good work, found, worthless.
