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,
Paulo, omukosi wa Nyamuanga intumwa ya Yesu Kristo, kulwekilisha lya bhasolwa bha Nyamuanga no bhwengeso bhwe chimali bhunu obhuleta obhulengelesi.
Bhali mubhwiikanyo bhwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende bhunu Nyamuanga unu atakutula kwaika lulimi asosishe omulago gwa kajanende. (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,
Omwanya gwejile gweya nasulula omusango gwaye mubhusimusi bhunu ananile naike. Janyiile okukola kutyo Nyamuanga alagiliye oyo ali mukisha weswe.
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.
Ku Tito, omwana we chimali mu likilisha lyeswe. Echigongo, lisasila no mulembe okusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata na Yesu Kristo omwelusi weswe.
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—
Kwo nakolele ninkusiga Krete koleleki ugamalishe amagambo gone ganu galiga gachali okuwa no kutulako abhakaluka bha ikanisa bhuli musi lwa kutyo nakulagiliye.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Omukaruka wa ikanisa asiga kubha ne soro, omulume wo mugasi umwi, unu ali na bhana bhalengelesi bhanu bhatakwaikwa mabhibhi nolwo bhulangi langi.
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;
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 given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Nawe abhega mukumi wa bhagenyi, unu kenda obhwekisi. Jiire abhe no bhwenge bhwe kisi, ali mulengeresi, unu kamubhaya Nyamuanga, abhe mwilindi.
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.
Abhe unu kemeregururu ameigisho ge chimari ganu geigisibhwe, koleleki atulega okukomesha emyoyo ku meigisho ge kisi kubhaiga abhajimamba.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those 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 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
Jiire okubhaganya abhanu rwabho. Abheigisha bhinu bhitabheire kurwa mabhona go bhurigerige abhanyamula misi jone.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle 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. For this cause, reprove them sharply, 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 and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Awe usige otegeresha jingani ja Bhayaudi jinu jitari ja chimari amwi ebhiragiro bhya bhanu, bhanu abhafutatira ebhye chimari.
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.
Ku bhanu bherere, bhyone ni bhyeru. Nawe chitariwo chinu cheru kubhajabhi na bhanyantekirisha.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any 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.
