Titu 3

1 Kuwaholuziya wantu walinanagaziyi palongolu pa wakolamlima na wakulu, wafiriziwa kuwajimira na kuwera kala kwa kutenda kila shitwatira shiheri.

Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for 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, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing courtesy to all people.

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 we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts 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 kindness of God our Savior and his love toward humankind appeared,

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.

not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing by the Ruach ha-Kodesh,

6 Mlungu katupanana Rohu Mnanagala kwa uvuwa kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, Mlopoziya gwetu,

whom he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua the Messiah our Savior;

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 grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting 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 saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for people;

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 shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 Gulikali patali na muntu yakajega malekaniru gumpanani likalapiru lya kwanja na ya pili, shakapanu gumleki.

Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning;

11 Guvimana handa muntu gambira ayu kaileka njira ya unakaka, na vidoda vyakuwi vimlanguziya kuwera kakosa.

knowing that such a one 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 send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to 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.

Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

14 Wantu wetu wafiruwa walifundi kulilaviya weni mukutenda vitwatira viherepa, su wawezi kupata mafiliru gawu ga mashaka goseri na walikali makaliru gagehera utanga.

Let our people also learn to maintain 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 greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
