Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness:

Paulo, n'tumishi ghwa K'yara ni n'tume ghwa Yesu Kristu, kwa imani jha bhateule bha K'yara ni maarifa gha bhukweli jhajhileta bhutauwa.

2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)

Bhajhele mu tumaini lya bhusima bhwa milele ambabho K'yara jhaibhwesya lepi kudeta bhudesi abhuahidi kuhoma milele. (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour:

Kwa bhwakati muafaka, alifunuili lilobhi lya muene mu ujumbe bhwa anipelili nene kuhubiri. Jhinilondekeghe kukheta naha kwa amri jha K'yara mwokozi bhitu.

4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Kwa Tito, mwana ghwa bhukweli mu imani jha tete. Neema, k'esa ni amani kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi ni Yesu Kristu mwokozi ghwetu.

5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:

Kwandabha ejhe nakulekili Krete, kujha ughatanganesiajhi mambo ghoha ghaghajhele ghabelikukamilika ni kubheka bhaseya bha kanisa kwa kila mji kama kyanikulaghisi.

6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.

Mzee ghwa kanisa lazima asijhi ni lawama, n'gosi ghwa n'dala mmonga, jhaajhele ni bhana bhaaminifu bhabhashuhudibhu lepi mabhobhi au bhabhabeli kujha ni nidhamu.

7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:

Ni kinofu kwa muangalizi ghwa K'yara, asijhi ni lawama. Asijhi munu ghwa njuegho au jhaabelili kwizuila. Lazima asijhi njonjofu ghwa ligoga, asijhi ndefi, asijhi munu ghwa kusababisya ngondo, na asijhi ni tamaa.

8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:

Badala jhiake: ajhelayi munu n'karibisiajhi, jhailonda bhwema. Lazima ajhelayi munu mwenye luhala luoha, mwenye haki, mcha K'yara, jhaikitawala muene.

9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.

Jhaibhwesya kujhemelela mafundisu gha bhukweli ghaghamanyisibhu, ili abhwesiajhi kubhapela muoyo kwa mafundisu manofu na jhaibhwesya kubharekebisya bhoha bhabhakampela.

10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:

Kwa kujha bhajhe bhaasi bhamehele, hasa bhala bha tohara. Malobhi gha bhene gha bhukonyofu. Bhikofya ni kubhalongosya bhanu mu bhukonyofu.

11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

Lazima kubhabesya bhanu kama abhu. Bhimanyisya ghala ghabhilondekalepi kumanyisya kwa faida sya soni ni kuharibu familia syoha,

12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.

Mmonga bhabhi, munu jhaajhe ni busara, ajobhili, “Bhakrete bhajhe ni udesi bhwabhubelikujha ni mwishu, bhabhibhi ni bhanyama bha hatari, bhafifu ni bhalafi.”

13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Majhelesu agha gha bhukweli, henu abhabesiajhi kwa nghofu ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kujbha bhukweli mu imani.

14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.

Bhebhe usikihusishi ni fijegu fyafibelikujha fya bhukweli sya Kiyahudi au amri sya bhanu, ambabho bhikerebhusya kunyuma bhukweli.

15 All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

Kwa bhoha bhabhajhele kinofu, fenu fyoha finofu. Lakini kwa bhoha bhabhajhele bhachafu na bhabhabelili kukiera, kijhelepi kyajhele kinofu. Kwa kujha mabhuasu gha bhene ni dhamira sya bhene sichafulibhu.

16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.

Bhikiri kummanya K'yara, lakini kwa matendu gha bhene bhikambela. Bhene ndo bhaovu na bhitii lepi. Bhasibilishibhulepi kwa kitendo lyolyoha linofu.
