Titu 3
1 Kuwaholuziya wantu walinanagaziyi palongolu pa wakolamlima na wakulu, wafiriziwa kuwajimira na kuwera kala kwa kutenda kila shitwatira shiheri.
Put them in mind to be subject to governments, and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work;
2 Guwagambiri nawamwigilanga muntu yoseri, kumbiti walikali kwa ponga na mapikaniranu, mashaka goseri waweri wananaga kwa kila muntu.
to speak evil of no one; to be no fighters, but equitable, showing all meekness to all men.
3 Toziya shipindi shimu, twenga tuweriti wazyigizyigi, na wawapikinira ndiri na watupotoziyitwi. Tuweriti wamanda wa lumamata na kufira viherepa vya kila ntambu. Tulikaliti makaliru ga ukondola na weya, wantu watukalaliriti na twenga tulikalalirana twaweni gweka.
For even we ourselves were formerly foolish, disobedient, erring, slavishly serving diverse inordinate desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Kumbiti shipindi maheri na ufiru wa Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu pavigubutulitwi,
But when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth,
5 katulopoziyiti twenga, toziya ndiri ya vitwatira vyetu viheri vyatutenditi, kumbiti toziya ya lusungu lwakuwi, kwa njira ya Rohu Mnanagala katutenda twiwuki mala ya pili na kutupanana ukomu wa syayi kwa kutugulula kwa mashi.
he saved us--not on account of works of righteousness which we had done--but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Spirit;
6 Mlungu katupanana Rohu Mnanagala kwa uvuwa kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, Mlopoziya gwetu,
which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 su kwa maheri gakuwi tupati kujimirwa kuwera waheri palongolu Mlungu na kuuwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri yatuutumbira. (aiōnios g166)
that being justified by his favor, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Shisoweru ashi sha nakaka. Nfira gwenga guvihimiziyi vitwatira avi, su walii yawamjimira Mlungu waweri na lumata lwa kutenda viheri, su vitwatira viherepa na vya kuwatanga wantu.
This doctrine is true: and concerning these, I charge you to affirm strongly, that those who have believed in God, be studious to stand foremost in good works. These are things that are honorable and profitable to men.
9 Kumbiti gulikali kutali na ukakatala wa shizyigizyigi, na ndewu na malongeranu kuusu malagaliru ga Musa na kuvimana matawu ga wambuyi. Vitwatila avi vyahera mota yoseri na ndo vya hera.
But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law, resist; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Gulikali patali na muntu yakajega malekaniru gumpanani likalapiru lya kwanja na ya pili, shakapanu gumleki.
A factionist, after a first and second admonition, reject;
11 Guvimana handa muntu gambira ayu kaileka njira ya unakaka, na vidoda vyakuwi vimlanguziya kuwera kakosa.
knowing that such a person is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 Shipindi panumtuma Alitema ama Tukiku kwa gwenga, gutendi ntambu yaguweza kwiza kundola kuisi ya Nikopoli, toziya nfira kulikala kulii shipindi sha mpepu.
When I shall send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, make haste to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13 Gukamali kumtanga muntu gwa malagaliru Zeno na Apolu su wawezi kwanja miyanja yawu, na guloli handa wana kila shintu shawafira.
Diligently help forward on their journey, Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Wantu wetu wafiruwa walifundi kulilaviya weni mukutenda vitwatira viherepa, su wawezi kupata mafiliru gawu ga mashaka goseri na walikali makaliru gagehera utanga.
And let ours also learn to stand foremost in good works, for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Wantu woseri yawawera pamuhera na neni wakulamsiya. Guwalamsiyi wajimira wayetu yawatufira mukujimira. Maheri ga Mlungu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
All who are with me salute you. Salute them who love us in the faith. Favor be with you all.
