Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Pawulu, mulanda wa Leza alimwi mutumwa wa Jesu Kkilisito alusyomo lwabantu basalidwe ba Leza alimwi aluzibo lwanchoonzyo oolo luzuminana abuleza,
abulangilizi bwabuumi bwalyoonse oobo Leza utabeji pe, mbwakasyomezya chiindi kakutana kwaba zyoonse pe. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
Muchindi cheelede wakayubununa jwi lyakwe mukwinda kunkambawuko ilinjiyo njindakapegwa mukwinda amukulayililwa a Leza mufutuli.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Kuli Tayitasi, mwana wanchoonzyo mulusyomo lwesu luzibinkene. Luzyalo alimwi alumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata a Jesu Kkilisito mufutuli wesu.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
Nkambo kazeezi nchindakakusila mu Kkilete, kuti ambweni nga ulakonzya kubika zintu mbuzyelede eezyo zitanamana pe alimwi akunanika bazulwidi mumyunzi yoonse mbuli mbundakakulayilila.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Muzulwidi tayelede kuba akampendape, mwalumi ujisi mwanakazi umwi, ulaabana basyomekene pepe bambwa bubi nikuba kutalemeka.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
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 given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Kwinda kuchita oobo, welede kuba Ailweetelelo alimwi mwenzinyina wachili kabotu. Welede kumvwika nzyamba, simuchita zibotu, musalali, alimwi ulizyotolola.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
Welede kujatisya kapati kujwi lilume eelyo lyakayiisigwa, kuchitila kuti akakonzye kuyosungwazya bamwi anjiisyo ilikabotu alimwi akuyolulamika aabo bakaka zyakwe.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Ko kuli biingi bantu bapapide baambula zitawope alimwi akuyunga, kapati aabo bakapalulwa.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
Kulayandikana kubayimikizya. Babilizya mpuli zyoonse akuyiisya kwampindu yabweeme nzibateelede kuyiisisya pe.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
Umwi wabasinsimi wabo wakaamba kuti, “Ba Kkiletanisi mbabeji choonse chiindi, mbanyama babi, batolo.
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Twambo ootu ntwanchoonzyo. Lino, mubalulamike changuzu, kuchitila kuti amwi ngabalamvwika oobotu mulusyomo.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Pepe kupa kuswilizya abunini kulweeno lwaba Juda nikuba kumalayilile abantu aabo baleya kuzwa kunchoonzyo.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience 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 profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Balibika bayanda Leza, pesi balamukaka munchito zyabo. mbasesemyi, tabalemeki pe, alimwi tabeeledwe nikuba ulibiyeni mulimu mubotu.
