Titus 1

1 Paul a servant of God an apostle now of Jesus Christ according to [the] faith of [the] elect of God and knowledge of [the] truth which [is] according to godliness

UPawuli, inceku kaNkulunkulu, lomphostoli kaJesu Kristu, njengokokholo lwabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu lolwazi lweqiniso olunjengokukhonza uNkulunkulu,

2 in [the] hope of life eternal, which promised who cannot lie God before time eternal. (aiōnios g166)

ethembeni lempilo elaphakade, uNkulunkulu ongaqambi manga alithembisa zingakafiki izibanga zesikhathi, (aiōnios g166)

3 He revealed now [in] seasons [His] own in the word of Him in [the] proclamation with which was entrusted I myself according to [the] commandment of the Savior of us God;

kodwa wabonakalisa ngezikhathi ezifaneleyo ilizwi lakhe ngokutshumayela mina engakuphathiswayo njengokulaya kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu,

4 To Titus [my] true child according to [our] common faith: Grace (and *N+KO) peace from God [the] Father and (Lord *K) Christ Jesus the Savior of us.

kuTitosi umntanami isibili njengokholo esiluhlanganyele sonke: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba, leNkosini uJesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu.

5 of this Because (I left *N+k+o) you in Crete, so that the [things] lacking you may set in order and may appoint in every town elders as I myself you directed;

Ngenxa yalokhu ngakutshiya eKrete, ukuze ulungise lezozinto eziseleyo, njalo ubeke abadala kuwo wonke umuzi, njengoba mina ngakulaya;

6 if anyone is blameless, of one wife [the] husband, children having believing, not under accusation of debauchery or insubordinate.

uba kukhona ongasolekiyo, indoda elomfazi munye, elabantwana abakholwayo, abangasolwa ngokuganga, loba ngokungalaleli.

7 It behooves for the overseer blameless to be as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick tempered, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,

Ngoba kufanele umbonisi abe ngongasolekiyo, njengomphathindlu kaNkulunkulu; ongayisiso siqholo, ongathukutheli masinyane, ongesiso sidakwa, ongathandi ukulwa, ongafisi inzuzo embi,

8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, [and] disciplined,

kodwa ophatha kuhle izihambi, othanda okuhle, oziphathayo, oqondileyo, ongcwele, ozithintayo,

9 holding according to the teaching of [the] faithful word, that able he may be both to encourage with teaching sound and those contradicting [it] to convict.

ebambelela elizwini elithembekileyo njengokwemfundiso, ukuze laye abe lamandla okukhuthaza ngemfundiso ephilileyo, lokwehlula labo abalenkani.

10 There are for many also insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers especially those of (the *no) circumcision

Ngoba kulabanengi labo abangalaleliyo, abakhuluma okuyize labakhohlisayo, ikakhulu labo abokusoka,

11 whom it is necessary to silence; who whole households overthrow teaching things that [they] not ought of shameful gain because.

imilomo yabo imele ukufakwa isayeke, abagenqula imizi yonke, befundisa izinto ezingafanelanga, ngenxa yenzuzo embi.

12 Said one of them own of them a prophet; Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, gluttons lazy.

Omunye kubo, owabo umprofethi, wathi: AmaKrete ahlezi engabaqambimanga, izilo ezimbi, iziminzi ezivilaphayo.

13 testimony this is true; for which cause do rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,

Lobubufakazi buqinisile. Ngalesosizatho balayisise ngobukhali, ukuze baphile ekholweni,

14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and to [the] commandments of men turning away from the truth.

bangalaleli inganekwane zamaJuda, lemithetho yabantu abafulathela iqiniso.

15 All things [are] (indeed *k) pure to the pure; to those however defiled and unbelieving no [thing] [is] pure, Instead have been defiled of them both mind and conscience.

Kwabahlambulukileyo konke kuhlambulukile; kodwa kwabangcolileyo labangakholwayo kakulalutho oluhlanzekileyo; kodwa lengqondo lezazela zabo kungcolile.

16 God they profess to know, however by [their] works they deny [Him] detestable being and disobedient and for any work good unfit.

Bavuma ukuthi bayamazi uNkulunkulu, kodwa bemphika ngezenzo, besenyanyeka, labangalaleliyo, lakuwo wonke umsebenzi omuhle kabasizi lutho.
