Titus 3

1 Remind them to respect and obey the rulers and authorities, to be ready for every kind of good work, to slander no one, to avoid quarrelling,

Mwaakumbushiyanje bhandunji bhaitetelesheyanje kubhakulungwanji na bhaatagwalanga na kukunda ibhabhalanjilwanga, kutenda yowe ili ya mmbone.

2 to be reasonable, and under all circumstances to show a gentle spirit with all.

Bhanammeleketelanje ya nyata mundu jojowe, na bhanabhanganje bha mipwai, bhabhanganje bhanguja, bhalilanguyanga kwiitimalika kwa kaje, kubhandu bhowe.

3 There was a time when we ourselves were foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to all kinds of desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hating ourselves and hating one another.

Pabha na uwe bhukala putwaaliji mabhelu, bhandunji bha kwaatendebhukanga a Nnungu na puganyika, akuno tulitolwa na ilokoli, na itendi yaigwinji ya kwiikonja yangali mana, tulitama muilebho na nnupimililo na nkubheleketana na nkubhengana.

4 But, when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love for humanity appeared, he saved us,

Ikabheje a Nnungu Bhaatapula bhetu bhakalanguleje uguja na nonyelwa kwabho ku bhandu, gubhatutapwile,

5 not as the result of any righteous actions that we had done, but due to his mercy. He saved us though the washing of rebirth and renewal by the power of the Holy Spirit,

Nngabha kwa itendi ya aki itwatendile, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya shiya shabho, gubhatubheleshe gwa bhili nikutubhika nndamo ja ambi kwa kutukonjeleya kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.

6 which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour –

Pabha bhashinkutugumbashiya Mbumu jwa Ukonjole, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhaatapula bhetu,

7 so that, having been put right with God through his grace, we become heirs to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

nkupinga kwa nema jabho tubhalanganishiwe kubha bhanguja na bhalishi bha gumi gwa pitipiti, malinga shitukulupalila. (aiōnios g166)

8 This saying is trustworthy! And it is on these subjects that I want you to lay special emphasis, so that those who have learned to trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing good. Such subjects are excellent in themselves, and of benefit to all.

Lyeneli ni lilobhe lya kulupalika. Shingupinga gene malobhe gano, ubhelekete kwa komelesheya, nkupinga bhene bhaakulupalilenje a Nnungu bhala, bhalonjeyanje nkutenda ya mmbone, genego ni ga mmbone na ganapwaa kwa kila mundu.

9 But have nothing to do with foolish controversies, or with genealogies, or with quarrels, or fights about the Law. They are useless and futile.

Ikabheje mwiepuye na mitau ja shingumba, na mipwai na kutaukangana ga ashigani bha nnubheleko lwetu na ga shalia ja a Musha. Pabha yene induyo ikapwaa, numbe yangali mana.

10 If someone is causing divisions among you then, after giving them a second warning, excuse yourself from them.

Mundu alekanya bhandu munnneyaga pabhili, nibhujila kabhili, munkane.

11 You can be sure that such a person has forsaken the truth and is in the wrong. They stand self-condemned.

Pabha mmumanyi kuti mundu jwa nneyo apuganishe, na itendi yakwe ya yambi inng'ukumwile nnyene.

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, join me as quickly as possible at Nicopolis, for I have arranged to spend the winter there.

Pushinaatume a Atemashi eu a Tikiko, ntende shangu kwiya imana na nne ku Nikapoli, pabha malanga ga shipwepwe njitumbilila ngatame kweneko.

13 Do your best to help Zenas, the teacher of the Law, and Apollos, on their way, and see that they want for nothing.

Ntende kila mushinkombole, mwaajangutilanje mmwanja gwabhonji a Shena bha lumanyio lwa shalia, na a Apolo bhanatubhilwanje shindu shoshowe.

14 Let all our people learn to devote themselves to doing good, so as to meet the most pressing needs, and that their lives may not be unfruitful.

Bhandunji bhetu bhaijiganyanje kulonjeya muitendi ya uguja, nkupinga bhaajangutilanje Bhakilishitu kwa indu ipinjikwa, kwa nneyo, ndamo jabhonji jibhe japwaa.

15 All who are with me here send you their greeting. Give my greeting to our friends in the faith. God bless you all.

Bhandunji bhowe bhalinginji apamo na nne bhanakunnamushilanga. Mwaalamushilanje bhakutupinganga nngulupaibho. Nema jibhe na mmanganyanji mmowe.
