Titu 3
1 Kuwaholuziya wantu walinanagaziyi palongolu pa wakolamlima na wakulu, wafiriziwa kuwajimira na kuwera kala kwa kutenda kila shitwatira shiheri.
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and 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 slander no one, and to be peaceable and considerate, always showing gentleness toward everyone.
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 ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, and enslaved to various lusts and pleasures. Living in wickedness and envy, we were loathsome and hated one another.
4 Kumbiti shipindi maheri na ufiru wa Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu pavigubutulitwi,
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind 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.
he saved us, not because of any righteous works we had done, but according to his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit.
6 Mlungu katupanana Rohu Mnanagala kwa uvuwa kwa njira ya Yesu Kristu, Mlopoziya gwetu,
He richly poured out his Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 su kwa maheri gakuwi tupati kujimirwa kuwera waheri palongolu Mlungu na kuuwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri yatuutumbira. (aiōnios g166)
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become 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 saying is trustworthy. I want yoʋ to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are good and beneficial 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 avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, quarrels, and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.
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.
For yoʋ know that such a person is corrupted and sinful; he is 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 yoʋ, or Tychicus, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
13 Gukamali kumtanga muntu gwa malagaliru Zeno na Apolu su wawezi kwanja miyanja yawu, na guloli handa wana kila shintu shawafira.
Do everything yoʋ can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and make sure they lack nothing.
14 Wantu wetu wafiruwa walifundi kulilaviya weni mukutenda vitwatira viherepa, su wawezi kupata mafiliru gawu ga mashaka goseri na walikali makaliru gagehera utanga.
Our people must learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet pressing needs, so that they will 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 yoʋ. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
