Tiito 3
1 uvakumbusie kukujisia ku valolelesi nuvutavulua, kukuvitikila nakuva tayale kum'bombo inofu.
Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
2 vakumbusie avanhu navangam'bombelaghe umunhu ghwoghwoni uvuvivi, navangavisaghe na mabatu, vavapele inafasi avanhu avange kuvomba inyamulo, nakusona ulujisio kuvanhu vooni.
That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
3 ulwakuva najusue tulyale namassaghe gha vusofi naghavugalusi. tulyale muvusofi nakuvombua vasung'ua va noghelua nyinga ni tulikalile muvwifu nuvuhosi. tulyakalisie nakukalalilana.
For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
4 neke un'siki ghuno ulusungu lwa nguluve umpoki ghwitu nulughano lwake kuvanhu panolulyavonike.
But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
5 nalulyale mumaghendele ghwitu gha kyang'ani ghanotuvombile, looli alyatupokile kulusungu lwake. alyatupokile kwakutuvalasia nakuholua vupya nakutendua vupya mwa uMhepo uMwimike.
Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
6 Unguluve akamulaghe uMhepo Umwimike kuvwinga kukilila uYesu Kilisite umpoki ghwitu.
Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
7 akavombile ndikio neke kuti, tungave tuvalilue ikyang'ani kulusungu lwake. tuvisaghe vahangilanisi mukyang'ani vwa vwumi vwa kusila nakusila. (aiōnios g166)
That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
8 iji je mhola jakwitikika. nikuvalonda mughajove muvukangasio agha, neke kuti vala vanovikumwitikila UNguluve vavisaghe nuluvumbulilo muvufumbue mu mbombo inofu sinoakasivikile pamaso ghavo. imbombo isi nofu siliniluvumbulilo kulyusue twevoni.
This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
9 pe mulekaghe pikwingila mulukani ulyakipumbafu, ifya fipango, amasindano, amabatu mundaghilo. isio sisila nambe luvumbulilo.
But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
10 mun'kanaghe ghwoghwoni junoisababisia mupalasane kati jinu. pepano kyande muva mumpavile ulwakwanda na kavili.
Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
11 kagulagha kuti umunhu ghwandikio ajilekile isila ija kyang'ani napivomba isambi nakukujihigha jujuo.
Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
12 kyalenikun'sung'a kulyuve urtemi nu tikiko vomba ng'aning'ani ghwise kulyune kuno ku Nikopoli namwile kukukala uns'ikighwa mepo.
When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.

Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
14 avanhu vitu lughanile pimanyila kutighana mu imbombo inofu sinosikola amanogheluo neke kuti navangisaghe kuva navihola imeke.
And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
15 vooni vano valipalikimo nune nikuvahungila. vahungilaghe vala vanovatughanile mu lwitiluvisaghe numue mweni.
All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
