Titus 1

1 Paul a seruaunt of God, and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the trueth, which is according vnto godlines,

Pawulu, mulanda wa Leza alimwi mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito alusyomo lwabantu basalidwe ba Leza alimwi aluzibo lwanchoonzyo oolo luzuminana abuleza,

2 Vnto the hope of eternall life, which God that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began: (aiōnios g166)

abulangilizi bwabuumi bwalyoonse oobo Leza utabeji pe, mbwakasyomezya chiindi kakutana kwaba zyoonse pe. (aiōnios g166)

3 But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour:

Muchindi cheelede wakayubununa jwi lyakwe mukwinda kunkambawuko ilinjiyo njindakapegwa mukwinda amukulayililwa a Leza mufutuli.

4 To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour.

Kuli Tayitasi, mwana wanchoonzyo mulusyomo lwesu luzibinkene. Luzyalo alimwi alumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata a Jesu Kkilisito mufutuli wesu.

5 For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee,

Nkambo kazeezi nchindakakusila mu Kkilete, kuti ambweni nga ulakonzya kubika zintu mbuzyelede eezyo zitanamana pe alimwi akunanika bazulwidi mumyunzi yoonse mbuli mbundakakulayilila.

6 If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient.

Muzulwidi tayelede kuba akampendape, mwalumi ujisi mwanakazi umwi, ulaabana basyomekene pepe bambwa bubi nikuba kutalemeka.

7 For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,

Zilayandikana kumupati wabayiisyi mbuli sikulanga wang'anda ya Leza kuti itabi abubi pe. Teelede pe kuti abe sinchiki, atabi ulya ufwambana kunyemesegwa, pepe ukomedwe kubukande, pepe sinkondo, alimwi pepe simatalo.

8 But harberous, one that loueth goodnesse, wise, righteous, holy, temperate,

Kwinda kuchita oobo, welede kuba Ailweetelelo alimwi mwenzinyina wachili kabotu. Welede kumvwika nzyamba, simuchita zibotu, musalali, alimwi ulizyotolola.

9 Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it.

Welede kujatisya kapati kujwi lilume eelyo lyakayiisigwa, kuchitila kuti akakonzye kuyosungwazya bamwi anjiisyo ilikabotu alimwi akuyolulamika aabo bakaka zyakwe.

10 For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision,

Ko kuli biingi bantu bapapide baambula zitawope alimwi akuyunga, kapati aabo bakapalulwa.

11 Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.

Kulayandikana kubayimikizya. Babilizya mpuli zyoonse akuyiisya kwampindu yabweeme nzibateelede kuyiisisya pe.

12 One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies.

Umwi wabasinsimi wabo wakaamba kuti, “Ba Kkiletanisi mbabeji choonse chiindi, mbanyama babi, batolo.

13 This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith,

Twambo ootu ntwanchoonzyo. Lino, mubalulamike changuzu, kuchitila kuti amwi ngabalamvwika oobotu mulusyomo.

14 And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth.

Pepe kupa kuswilizya abunini kulweeno lwaba Juda nikuba kumalayilile abantu aabo baleya kuzwa kunchoonzyo.

15 Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled.

Kuli baabo basalala, zintu zyoonse zilasalala. Pesi kuli baabo basofwede alimwi batazumini pe, takwe pe chisalala, pesi zyoonse nzibapona anzizyo zyakabija.

16 They professe that they know God, but by works they deny him, and are abominable and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.

Balibika bayanda Leza, pesi balamukaka munchito zyabo. mbasesemyi, tabalemeki pe, alimwi tabeeledwe nikuba ulibiyeni mulimu mubotu.
