< Titu 1 >
1 Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Mlungu na ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu. Neni nsyagulwa kuinyawa njimiru ya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu na kuwalonguziya waumani unakaka wa makaliru ga kumfiziya Mlungu,
Ko au Paula, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he tui ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni ʻaia ʻoku taau mo e anga fakaʻotua;
2 lweni liyanjiru lwakuwi ndo litumbiru lya kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Mlungu yakalonga ndiri mpayu, katugambiriti kala ukomu awu pamberi pakwanjira kila shintu, (aiōnios )
ʻI he ʻamanaki lelei ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito loi, ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani; (aiōnios )
3 na shipindi shashifiriziwitwi pashisokiti kaulanguziya mushisoweru shakuwi. Neni wanupiti shisoweru ashi nushibweri kulawirana na Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu.
Ka kuo fakahā ʻi hono kuonga totonu ʻa ʻene folofola ʻi he malanga, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate au, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;
4 Nukulembera gwenga Titu, yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru gwatutendaga pamuhera. Nukufilira uheri wa Mlungu na ponga kwa Mlungu Tati, na Kristu Yesu Mlopoziya gwetu.
Ke ʻia Taitusi, ko e foha moʻoni ʻo taau mo e tui ʻatautolu kotoa pē, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau Fakamoʻui.
5 Nukulekiti mushisiwa sha Kireti gutendi weri vitwatira vya mafundu yagasigaliti, na kuwasyagula wazewi walongoziya mushipinga sha yawamjimira Kristu mukila lushi. Guliholi ganakulagaliriti,
Ko e meʻa ni naʻaku tuku ai koe ʻi Keliti, koeʻuhi ke ke fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻosi, ʻo fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate koe:
6 mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Kristu kafiluwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri, yakawera na mdala yumu hera, na wananguta wakuwi wafiruwa kuwera wajimira wa Kristu nawawera njuguluru na yawapikana ndiri.
Kapau ʻoku taʻehala ha tokotaha, koe husepāniti ʻoe fefine pe taha, ʻoku tui ʻene fānau, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokia ʻi ha fakamaveuveu pe ha talangataʻa.
7 Toziya mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Yesu yakalolera vitwatira vya wantu ndo mgolokera gwa lihengu lya Mlungu, kafiruwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri na wamonga. Yakahera shikwimba na maya gapakwegera na mlowera na mndewu ama muntu yakalipanana ulunda kwa njira ya soni.
He ʻoku totonu ke taʻehalaia ʻae tauhi, ʻo taau mo e tauhi koloa ʻae ʻOtua; ʻo ʻikai fai ki hono loto, pe ʻitangofua, pe tokanga ki he uaine, pe faʻa tā, pe tokanga ki he koloa ʻuli;
8 Kafiluwa kaweri muntu yakawashemera wantu na yakafira maheri na yakatenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu na katendi vitwatira ntambu yaifiruwa na kaweri mnanagala na yakalilewelera.
Kae ʻofa ia ki he fai angalelei, pea ʻofa ki he kakai angalelei, ke ne anga fakapotopoto, mo angatotonu, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angamaau;
9 Kafiluwa kakoli uweri shisoweru shirii sha ujimirika gambira ntambu yagufunda. Su kawezi kuwapanana moyu wamonga kwa mafundu ga nakaka. Na kugalaviya paweru madoda ga walii yawasinga mafundu aga.
ʻO ne puke ke maʻu ʻae lea moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko hono akonekina, koeʻuhi ke ne faʻa fai ke enginaki mo valoki tonu ʻae kau lea kovi ʻaki ʻae akonaki totonu.
10 Toziya, kwana wantu wavuwa, hasa walii wawalawiti kulawa munjira ya Shiyawudi ya kumfata Mlungu na yawatakula visoweru vya vyahera mana na wawalema walongoziya wawu na wawazyanga wamonga kwa uzigizigi wawu.
He ʻoku ai ʻae tokolahi ʻoku angatuʻu, ko e kau launoa mo e kau kākā, pea ʻoku tuʻu muʻa ai ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu:
11 Kwa ntambu yoseri ilii mpaka kuvinyamaziya visoweru vyawu, toziya wavuluvutira kaya yoseri kwa kufunda vitwatira vyawafiruwa ndiri kufunda, watenda hangu kwa nfiru idoda ya kulipanana ulunda wa mpiya.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku totonu ke tāpuni honau ngutu; ʻoku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa, ʻo ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ka nau maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻuli.
12 Ata yumu gwa wambuyi wawu, nayomberi viraa ndo Mkreti, kalongiti, “Wakureti watakulaga upayira mashaka goseri, ndo gambira wang'ongolu wadoda, walwaliya na waleri!”
Ko honau tokotaha, ko e tangata kikite pe ʻonautolu, naʻe pehē, “ʻOku loi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai Keliti, ko e fanga manu fekai mo kovi, ko e kau faʻa kai fakapikopiko.”
13 Na yomberi kapitawuliti nakaka. Su kwa hangu gufiliziwa guwakalipili nentu, su waweri na njimiru ya nakaka.
Ko e fakamoʻoni ni ʻoku moʻoni. Ko ia ke ke valoki māsila ʻakinautolu, ke nau haohaoa ʻi he tui;
14 Nawaendereya kuzikolera ntambu hera zya Shiyawudi na malagaliru ga wantu yagalawira kwa wantu yawaulemiti unakaka.
ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa fakaSiu, mo e ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku afe mei he moʻoni.
15 Kila shintu ndo shinanaga kwa wantu wananaga, kumbiti kwahera shoseri shashiwera unanaga kwa walii yawadodoziyitwi na yawajimira ndiri, toziya mahala gawu na uwezu wawu wa kusyagula maheri ama madoda gahalibisiwa.
ʻOku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa: ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate kinautolu ʻoku anga ʻuli mo taʻetui; he ko honau loto mo honau ʻatamai kuo ʻuliʻi.
16 Wantu gambira awa walitumba handa wamumana Mlungu, kumbiti kwa matendu gawu wamlema. Ndo wantu wa ngalaliru nentu na wantu wawapikanila ndiri, wafaa ndiri kutenda shitwatira shoseri shiherepa.
ʻOku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngaue ʻoku nau siʻaki ia, ʻoku nau anga fakalielia, mo talangataʻa, pea taʻehafifili lelei ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
