Titus 1

1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, according to the faith of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

Polo, kisadi ki Nzambi ayi mvuala wu Yesu Klisto, boso buididiminu ki batu bobo basobolo ba Nzambi ayi boso buididi nzayilu yi mambu ma kiedika madi boso buididi khinzukulu yi mambu ma Nzambi,

2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; (aiōnios g166)

mu diana di luzingu lukalumani. Luzingu lolo Nzambi yoyi yika yilendivuna ko kavanina tsila tuamina thonono yi zitsungi. (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;

Vayi thangu bu yifuana, niandi wuzabikisa mambu mandi mundongolo yoyi ndiyekodolo boso buididi lutumunu lu Nzambi Mvulusi eto,

4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Savior.

mfidisidi nkanda wawu kuidi Tite khatika, muanꞌama mu minu kioki tuidi mu kithuadi. Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bi Nzambi Tata ayi bi Klisto Yesu Mvulusi eto bibanga yaku.

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;

Bila ndibikila ku Kelete kiawu kiaki: wukubika mambu moso masiala ayimuingi wubieka mintuadisi mi Dibundu mu kadika divula boso bu nditumina.

6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

Kadika ntuadisi kabika ba bila kioki kafueti sembolo; kafueti ba bakala dikuela nketo wumosi kaka; beki bana bakuikama. Batu babika baka diluaku di fundila bana benit i khadulu yimbimbi badi voti batumiminanga batu ko.

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;

Didi diambu di mfunu ti ntuadisi wu dibundu kafueti ba mutu kambulu tsembolo banga kisadi ki Nzambi wunkambu tulanga diana mu diela diandi, kafuemanga nsualu ko; kanuanga malavu ko; kanuananga ko, kabika ba mutu weti zola baka zimbongo mu mayuya.

8 but given to hospitality, as a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined;

Kafueti ba mutu zebi yakulanga bumboti banzenza ayi kafueti ba mutu weti zola mamboti; kafueti ba mutu wu diela, mutu wusonga, mutu wuvedila, zebi kukiyala.

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.

Kafueti ba wukangama mu mambu ma kuikama boso buididi malongimuingi kaba wufuana mu lubula boso buididi malongi ma kiedika ayi mu bedisila bobo bamfindisanga ziphaka.

10 For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

Bila bawombo kaba tumamananga ko, banyolukanga mambu ma phamba; bamvunanga batu. Badi bawombo muidi Bayuda.

11 whose mouths must be silenced; who are upsetting whole families, teaching things which they should not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

Bufueni mu kuba kangisa miunu bila zinzo ziwombo balembo zimbisabu beti longa mambu ma kambulu fuana mu diambu di babaka zimbongo mu luvunu.

12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons."

Wumosi mu bawu, mbikudi awu veka wutuba ti: Basi Kelete badi bankua luvunu badi bibulu bimbimbi, ayi kisalu kiawu dia kaka ayi badi miolo.

13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

Kimbangi kiaki kidi ki kiedika. Diawu wuba temina ngolo muingi baba minu ki kiedika

14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who reject the truth.

ayi babika singimina mu zinongo zi Bayuda ayi zithumunu zi batu bobo beti vengama mu mambu ma kiedika.

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.

“Bibioso bidi bivedila mu diambu di batu bobo badi bavedila” vayi bibioso bisi bivedila ko mu diambu di batu bobo badi basumuka ayi bakambulu minu ayi diela diawu ayi mayindu ma mintima miawu bidi bisumuka.

16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Muaki bambanzilanga ti bazebi Nzambi vayi bantunukanga Nzambimu mavanga mawu bila baba zolanga ko; basi bulemvo ko ayi balendi vangakadi diambu dimosi di mboti ko.
