Tito 3
1 Wakumbushe watu kuwanyenyekea watawala na kuwatii wenye mamlaka, wawe tayari kutenda kila lililo jema.
Amoneste hem to be sugetis to prynces, and to poweris; to obeische to that that is seid, and to be redi to al good werk;
2 Wasimnenee mtu yeyote mabaya, wasiwe wagomvi, bali wawe wapole, wakionyesha unyenyekevu kwa watu wote.
to blasfeme no man, to be not ful of chiding, but temperat, schewynge al myldenesse to alle men.
3 Maana sisi wenyewe wakati fulani tulikuwa wajinga, wasiotii, tukiwa watumwa wa tamaa mbaya na anasa za kila aina. Tuliishi katika uovu na wivu, tukichukiwa na kuchukiana sisi kwa sisi.
For we weren sum tyme vnwise, vnbileueful, errynge, and seruynge to desiris, and to dyuerse lustis, doynge in malice and enuye, worthi to be hatid, hatinge ech othere.
4 Lakini wema na upendo wa Mungu Mwokozi wetu ulipofunuliwa,
But whanne the benygnyte and the manhed of oure sauyour God aperide,
5 alituokoa, si kwa sababu ya matendo ya haki tuliyotenda, bali kwa sababu ya rehema zake. Alituokoa kwa kutuosha kwa kuzaliwa mara ya pili na kwa kufanywa wapya kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu,
not of werkis of riytwisnesse that we diden, but bi his merci he made vs saaf, bi waischyng of ayen bigetyng, and ayen newyng of the Hooli Goost,
6 ambaye Mungu alitumiminia kwa wingi kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo Mwokozi wetu,
whom he schedde into vs plenteuousli bi Jhesu Crist, oure saueour,
7 ili kwamba, tukiisha kuhesabiwa haki kwa neema yake, tupate kuwa warithi tukiwa na tumaini la uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
that we iustified bi his grace, ben eiris by hope of euerlastinge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
8 Hili ni neno la kuaminiwa. Nami nataka uyasisitize mambo haya, ili wale ambao wamemwamini Mungu wapate kuwa waangalifu kujitoa kwa ajili ya kutenda mema wakati wote. Mambo haya ni mazuri tena ya manufaa kwa kila mtu.
A trewe word is, and of these thingis Y wole that thou conferme othere, that thei that bileuen to God, be bisy to be aboue othere in good werkis. These thingis ben good, and profitable to men.
9 Lakini jiepushe na maswali ya kipuzi, mambo ya koo, mabishano na ugomvi kuhusu sheria, kwa sababu hayana faida, tena ni ubatili.
And eschewe thou foltische questiouns, and genologies, and stryues, and fiytyngis of the lawe; for tho ben vnprofitable and veyn.
10 Mtu anayesababisha mafarakano, mwonye mara ya kwanza, kisha mwonye mara ya pili. Baada ya hapo, usihusike naye tena.
Eschewe thou a man eretik, aftir oon and the secound correccioun;
11 Kwa kuwa unajua kwamba mtu kama huyo amepotoka na tena ni mwenye dhambi. Yeye amejihukumu mwenyewe.
witinge that he that is siche a maner man is subuertid, and trespassith, and is dampned bi his owne dom.
12 Mara nitakapomtuma Artema au Tikiko kwako, jitahidi kuja unione huko Nikopoli, kwa sababu nimeamua kukaa huko wakati wa majira ya baridi.
Whanne Y sende to thee Arteman, or Titicus, hiy thou to `come to me to Nycopolis; for Y haue purposid to dwelle in wyntir there.
13 Fanya kila uwezalo uwasafirishe Zena yule mwanasheria na Apolo na uhakikishe kwamba wana kila kitu wanachohitaji katika safari yao.
Bisili byfor sende Zenam, a wise man of lawe, and Apollo, that no thing faile to hem.
14 Watu wetu hawana budi kujifunza kutenda mema, ili waweze kuyakimu mahitaji ya kila siku, wasije wakaishi maisha yasiyokuwa na matunda.
Thei that ben of ouris, lerne to be gouernouris in good werkis, to necessarie vsis, that thei be not with out fruyt.
15 Wote walio pamoja nami wanakusalimu. Wasalimu wale wanaotupenda katika imani. Neema iwe nanyi nyote. Amen.
Alle men that ben with me greeten thee wel. Grete thou wel hem, that louen vs in feith. The grace of God be with you alle. Amen.
