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 quarreling,
Vahupilise kuli nera kuva yendisi ni mivuso, kuva zuwa, kuli tukiseza kupanga mitendo milotu.
2 to be reasonable, and under all circumstances to show a gentle spirit with all.
Uva hupilise kusa nyefula zumwi, vasiye i nkani, kuzuminina vamwi kuva ni zira zavo, ni kuvonisa chishemo ku vonse vantu.
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.
Kakuti hamwi naswe kena tuvali ku nahana zilotu ni kusechilira. Tuvali kuchengetwe ni kuva muzitamo ze minyaka isiyana ni ntakazo. Tuvali kuhala muvuvi ni muna. Tuvali ve zitoyo ni kuli toya zumwi ku zumwi.
4 But, when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for humanity appeared, he saved us,
Kono cwale kushiyama kwe Ireza muhazi wetu ni lato lyakwe kuvantu livavoneki,
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,
kena ivali che mitendo ya kushiyama itu va pangi, kono kechishemo chakwe kuti ava tu hazi. A vatuhazi che kushajiwa ko kuzalwa chincha ni kusandulwa vuhya cho Luhuho lu Jolola.
6 which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior –
Ireza cho vufumu ava chunki Luhuho lu Jolola hentu cha Muhazi Jesu Keresite.
7 so that, having been put right with God through his grace, we become heirs to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Ava pangi inchi ili kuti, kuwana kunyemunwa ke chishemo, katu wole kuva vayoli ve sepo yo vuhalo vusa mani. (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.
Iri ñusa lisepahala luli. Nisaka kuti u wambe cha vundume kuamana nezi zintu, iri kuti avo va sepete Ireza vave ne sepo hami tendo mirotu yava viki havusu bwavo. Inzi zintu zi lotu ni kuvozekeza ku vonse vantu.
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.
Kono usiye inkani zo vuholo ni masika ni kukanana ni kuzeka kuamana ni mulao. Izo zintu kazina intuso mi kakwina chizi vozekeza.
10 If someone is causing divisions among you then, after giving them a second warning, excuse yourself from them.
Ukanine yense yo leta i kauhano mukati kenu, kuzwa ha yonke kamba zo vere inkalimero,
11 You can be sure that such a person has forsaken the truth and is in the wrong. They stand self-condemned.
mi wizive kuti uzo yenke chava sanduki kwi nzira i shiyeme mi u panga chivi ni kuli atula iye mwine.
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.
Hani tuma Atemasi kamba Tayichisi kwenu, uhwere ni kwiza kwangu kwa Nikopolisi, uko kuni vali keteri kuke kala hamaliha.
13 Do your best to help Zenas, the teacher of the Law, and Apollos, on their way, and see that they want for nothing.
U hwere ni ku tuma Zenasi, i chaziva mu mulao, ni Apolosi, cho mukwa ukuta kuti kanji vavuli chimwi.
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.
Vantu ventu vaswanera kulituta kuva muzintu ze mitendo milotu isaka zintu haho iri kuti kanji ve kali nivasena misero.
15 All who are with me here send you their greeting. Give my greeting to our friends in the faith. God bless you all.
Vonse avo vena name vaku lumerisa. Ulumerise avo va tusaka mwi tumero. Chishemo chive nanwe mwenze.
