Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in accord with the faith of God’s elect and in acknowledgment of the truth which is accompanied by piety,
Paulo, omukosi wa Nyamuanga intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, kulwekilisha lya bhasolwa bha Nyamuanga no bhwengeso bhwe chimali bhunu obhuleta obhulengelesi.
2 in the hope of the eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before the ages of time, (aiōnios g166)
Bhali mubhwiikanyo bhwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende bhunu Nyamuanga unu atakutula kwaika lulimi asosishe omulago gwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
3 which, at the proper time, he has manifested by his Word, in the preaching that has been entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior;
Omwanya gwejile gweya nasulula omusango gwaye mubhusimusi bhunu ananile naike. Janyiile okukola kutyo Nyamuanga alagiliye oyo ali mukisha weswe.
4 to Titus, beloved son according to the common faith. Grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Savior.
Ku Tito, omwana we chimali mu likilisha lyeswe. Echigongo, lisasila no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata na Yesu Kristo omwelusi weswe.
5 For this reason, I left you behind in Crete: so that those things which are lacking, you would correct, and so that you would ordain, throughout the communities, priests, (just as I also ordained you)
Kwo nakolele ninkusiga Krete koleleki ugamalishe amagambo gone ganu galiga gachali okuwa no kutulako abhakaluka bha ikanisa bhuli musi lwa kutyo nakulagiliye.
6 if such a man is without offense, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of self-indulgence, nor of insubordination.
Omukaruka wa ikanisa asiga kubha ne soro, omulume wo mugasi umwi, unu ali na bhana bhalengelesi bhanu bhatakwaikwa mabhibhi nolwo bhulangi langi.
7 And a bishop, as a steward of God, must be without offense: not arrogant, not short-tempered, not a drunkard, not violent, not desiring tainted profit,
Jiire omutangasha unu kemeleguluru inyumba ya Nyamuanga asige kubha ne soro. Atabha munu wa injogele amwi unu atakwibhalilila. Ni bhusi bhusi asige kubha mwangu wo kubhiililwa, asige kubha mutamiji, asige kubha unu kaletelesha obhulwani, asiga kubha wa inamba.
8 but instead: hospitable, kind, sober, just, holy, chaste,
Nawe abhega mukumi wa bhagenyi, unu kenda obhwekisi. Jiire abhe no bhwenge bhwe kisi, ali mulengeresi, unu kamubhaya Nyamuanga, abhe mwilindi.
9 embracing faithful speech which is in agreement with doctrine, so that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to argue against those who contradict.
Abhe unu kemeregururu ameigisho ge chimari ganu geigisibhwe, koleleki atulega okukomesha emyoyo ku meigisho ge kisi kubhaiga abhajimamba.
10 For there are, indeed, many who are disobedient, who speak empty words, and who deceive, especially those who are of the circumcision.
Okubha bhalio bha nyantongwa bhanfu, muno muno abho rutendo. Emisango jebhwe ni jo bhulangi langi. Mbajigi jigi no kubhatangasha abhanu mubhujabhi.
11 These must be reproved, for they subvert entire houses, teaching things which should not be taught, for the favor of shameful gain.
Jiire okubhaganya abhanu rwabho. Abheigisha bhinu bhitabheire kurwa mabhona go bhurigerige abhanyamula misi jone.
12 A certain one of these, a prophet of their own kind, said: “The Cretans are ever liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Umwi webhwe, omunu wo bhwengeso, aikile, Abhakrete bhano lulimi lunu lutana bhutelo, bhabhibhi, ni ntyanyi mbibhi, ni bhalenga na bhatubhe.
13 This testimony is true. Because of this, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith,
Okwaika okwo ni kwa chimari, kulwejo ubhaganye kwa managa gone koleleki bhaike echimari cha mukwikirisha.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables, nor to the rules of men who have turned themselves away from the truth.
Awe usige otegeresha jingani ja Bhayaudi jinu jitari ja chimari amwi ebhiragiro bhya bhanu, bhanu abhafutatira ebhye chimari.
15 All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted.
Ku bhanu bherere, bhyone ni bhyeru. Nawe chitariwo chinu cheru kubhajabhi na bhanyantekirisha.
16 They claim that they know God. But, by their own works, they deny him, since they are abominable, and unbelieving, and reprobate, toward every good work.
Abhaika ati chimumenyere Nyamuanga, mbe nawe mubhikorwa bhyebhwe abhamulema. Abho ni bhajabhi ka ni bhanyantongwa. Ka bhateire mu bhikorwa bhyone bhyone bhya kisi.
