Tito 3
1 Uyeuchidze vanhu kuti vazviise pasi pavatongi navane simba, kuti vave vanoteerera, kuti vave vanhu vakagadzirira kuita zvose zvakanaka,
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 kuti varege kuchera vamwe, vagare murunyararo, vaitire vamwe zvakanaka, uye kuti varatidze kuzvininipisa kwechokwadi kuvanhu vose.
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
3 Pane imwe nguva nesuwo takanga tiri mapenzi, tisingateereri, takanyengerwa, takatapwa nokuchiva kwose uye nezvinofadza. Taigara muruvengo negodo, tichivengwa nokuvengana.
For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 Asi pakaratidzwa ngoni norudo rwaMwari Muponesi wedu,
But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 akatiponesa, kwete nokuda kwezvinhu zvakarurama zvatakaita, asi nokuda kwetsitsi dzake. Akatiponesa kubudikidza nokuberekwa patsva nokuvandudzwa noMweya Mutsvene,
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;
6 uyo waakadurura wakawanda kwazvo pamusoro pedu kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Muponesi wedu,
Whom he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 kuitira kuti mushure mokunge taruramisirwa nenyasha dzake, tive vadyi venhaka tine tariro youpenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Iri ishoko rezvokwadi. Uye ndinoda kuti usimbise kwazvo zvinhu izvi, kuitira kuti vaya vakatenda Mwari vachenjere kuti varambe vachiita mabasa akanaka. Zvinhu izvi zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira munhu wose.
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 Asi unzvenge mibvunzo youpenzi nenhoroondo dzamazita amadzitateguru, negakava nokukakavara pamusoro pomurayiro, nokuti izvi hazvina maturo uye hazvibatsiri.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Yambira munhu anotsausa kokutanga uye ugomuyambirazve kechipiri. Mushure mezvo usava nechokuita naye.
A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Uve nechokwadi chokuti munhu akadaro akatsauka uye mutadzi; akazvirasa iye amene.
Knowing that he who is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by himself.
12 Pandichatuma Atema kana Tikikasi kwauri, edza napaunogona napo pose kuti uuye kwandiri paNikopori, nokuti ndichagarako panguva yechando.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13 Ita zvose zvaungagona kuti ubatsire Zenasi mududziri womurayiro naAporosi parwendo rwavo uye uite kuti varege kushayiwa chinhu.
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.
14 Vanhu vedu vanofanira kudzidza kuzvipira kuita zvakanaka, kuitira kuti vagone kutibatsira pazvinhu zvinodiwa mazuva ose uye kuti vasararama upenyu husina zvibereko.
And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Vose vari kwandiri vanokukwazisa. Ukwazise vose vanotida mukutenda. Nyasha ngadzive nemi mose.
All that are with me greet thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
