Tito 3
1 Uvayeudzire ivo kuzviisa pasi pevatungamiriri nevabati, vavateerere, vakazvigadzirira basa rese rakanaka,
do remind them to rulers (and *k*) to authorities to be subject, to be obedient, for every work good ready to be,
2 varege kuchera munhu, varege kuva vakakavari, vanyoro, vaitire vanhu vese unyoro hwese.
no one to denigrate, peaceable to be, gentle, all showing humility toward all men.
3 Nokuti nesu pachedu taimbova matununu, vasingateereri, tichitsauswa, tichishumira kuchiva nemafaro zvakasiyana-siyana, tichirarama mukushata negodo, tichivenga, tichivengana.
Were for once also we ourselves foolish, disobedient, being deceived, serving lusts and pleasures various, in malice and envy living, hateful, hating one another.
4 Asi apo unyoro nerudo kuvanhu zvaMwari Muponesi wedu zvoonekwa,
When however the kindness and the love of mankind appeared of the Savior of us God,
5 kwete zvichibva pamabasa ekururama atakaita isu, asi zvichienderana netsitsi dzake wakatiponesa, kubudikidza nekushambidzwa kwekuberekwa kutsva nekuvandudzwa kweMweya Mutsvene,
not by works in righteousness (that *N(k)O*) did we ourselves, but according to (*N(k)O*) His (mercy *N(k)O*) He saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewing of [the] Spirit Holy
6 waakadururira achiwanza pamusoro pedu, kubudikidza naJesu Kristu Muponesi wedu,
whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ the Savior of us,
7 kuti tichinzi takarurama nenyasha dzake, tive vadyi venhaka zvichienderana netariro yeupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
so that having been justified by that grace heirs (we may become *N(k)O*) according to [the] hope of life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
8 Ishoko rakatendeka, uye izvi ndinoda kuti musimbise zvirokwazvo, kuti vakatenda kuna Mwari vachenjerere kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka. Ndizvo zvinhu zvakanaka uye zvinobatsira kuvanhu;
Trustworthy [is] the saying, and concerning these things I want you to affirm strongly so that may take care to good works to be devoted those already believing (*k*) in God; These things are (*k*) excellent and profitable to men.
9 asi nzvenga mibvunzo yeupenzi nenhoroondo dzemazita emadzinza nemakakatanwa nemakakava pamusoro pemurairo, nokuti hazvibatsiri uye hazvina maturo.
Foolish however controversies and genealogies and (arguments *NK(O)*) and quarrels about [the] Law do yourself avoid; they are for unprofitable and worthless.
10 Munhu anotsauka shure kwekurairwa kwekutanga nekwechipiri umurambe,
A factious man after one and a second admonition do reject
11 uchiziva kuti uyo wakadaro wakatsauka, uye anotadza, achizvipa mhosva amene.
knowing that has been corrupt such a man and is sinning being self-condemned.
12 Pandichatuma Aritema kwauri, kana Tikiko, ushingaire kuuya kwandiri kuNikopori; nokuti ndakazvipira kugarapo pachando.
When I may send Artemas to you or Tychicus, do be diligent to come to me into Nicopolis; there for I have decided to winter.
13 Shingaira kubatsira Zenasi mududziri wemurairo naAporo parwendo rwavo, kuti kusava nechinhu chinoshaikwa kwavari.
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos earnestly do equip, so that nothing to them may be lacking.
14 Nevekweduwo ngavadzidze kuzvipira pamabasa akanaka anodikanwa pakushaiwa, kuti varege kuva vasina zvibereko.
should learn now also our own [people] to good works to devote themselves for necessary needs, so that not they may be unfruitful.
15 Vese vaneni vanokukwazisa. Kwazisa vanotida parutendo. Nyasha ngadzive nemwi mese. Ameni.
Greet you those with me all. do greet those loving us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with all of you (Amen. *KO*) (to Titus of the Cretan church first overseer having been chosen It was written from Nicopolis of Macedonia. *K*)
