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:
Neni Paulu, ntumintumi gwa Mlungu na ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu. Neni nsyagulwa kuinyawa njimiru ya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu na kuwalonguziya waumani unakaka wa makaliru ga kumfiziya Mlungu,
2 Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: (aiōnios g166)
lweni liyanjiru lwakuwi ndo litumbiru lya kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Mlungu yakalonga ndiri mpayu, katugambiriti kala ukomu awu pamberi pakwanjira kila shintu, (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:
na shipindi shashifiriziwitwi pashisokiti kaulanguziya mushisoweru shakuwi. Neni wanupiti shisoweru ashi nushibweri kulawirana na Lilagaliru lya Mlungu, Mlopoziya gwetu.
4 To Titus my beloved son, according to the common faith, grace and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Nukulembera gwenga Titu, yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru gwatutendaga pamuhera. Nukufilira uheri wa Mlungu na ponga kwa Mlungu Tati, na Kristu Yesu Mlopoziya gwetu.
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:
Nukulekiti mushisiwa sha Kireti gutendi weri vitwatira vya mafundu yagasigaliti, na kuwasyagula wazewi walongoziya mushipinga sha yawamjimira Kristu mukila lushi. Guliholi ganakulagaliriti,
6 If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.
mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Kristu kafiluwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri, yakawera na mdala yumu hera, na wananguta wakuwi wafiruwa kuwera wajimira wa Kristu nawawera njuguluru na yawapikana ndiri.
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:
Toziya mzewi mlongoziya gwa shipinga sha wajimira wa Yesu yakalolera vitwatira vya wantu ndo mgolokera gwa lihengu lya Mlungu, kafiruwa kuwera muntu yakatakulwa madoda ndiri na wamonga. Yakahera shikwimba na maya gapakwegera na mlowera na mndewu ama muntu yakalipanana ulunda kwa njira ya soni.
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
Kafiluwa kaweri muntu yakawashemera wantu na yakafira maheri na yakatenda yagamfiriziya Mlungu na katendi vitwatira ntambu yaifiruwa na kaweri mnanagala na yakalilewelera.
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.
Kafiluwa kakoli uweri shisoweru shirii sha ujimirika gambira ntambu yagufunda. Su kawezi kuwapanana moyu wamonga kwa mafundu ga nakaka. Na kugalaviya paweru madoda ga walii yawasinga mafundu aga.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
Toziya, kwana wantu wavuwa, hasa walii wawalawiti kulawa munjira ya Shiyawudi ya kumfata Mlungu na yawatakula visoweru vya vyahera mana na wawalema walongoziya wawu na wawazyanga wamonga kwa uzigizigi wawu.
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Kwa ntambu yoseri ilii mpaka kuvinyamaziya visoweru vyawu, toziya wavuluvutira kaya yoseri kwa kufunda vitwatira vyawafiruwa ndiri kufunda, watenda hangu kwa nfiru idoda ya kulipanana ulunda wa mpiya.
12 One of them a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies.
Ata yumu gwa wambuyi wawu, nayomberi viraa ndo Mkreti, kalongiti, “Wakureti watakulaga upayira mashaka goseri, ndo gambira wang'ongolu wadoda, walwaliya na waleri!”
13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Na yomberi kapitawuliti nakaka. Su kwa hangu gufiliziwa guwakalipili nentu, su waweri na njimiru ya nakaka.
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
Nawaendereya kuzikolera ntambu hera zya Shiyawudi na malagaliru ga wantu yagalawira kwa wantu yawaulemiti unakaka.
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.
Kila shintu ndo shinanaga kwa wantu wananaga, kumbiti kwahera shoseri shashiwera unanaga kwa walii yawadodoziyitwi na yawajimira ndiri, toziya mahala gawu na uwezu wawu wa kusyagula maheri ama madoda gahalibisiwa.
16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
Wantu gambira awa walitumba handa wamumana Mlungu, kumbiti kwa matendu gawu wamlema. Ndo wantu wa ngalaliru nentu na wantu wawapikanila ndiri, wafaa ndiri kutenda shitwatira shoseri shiherepa.
