Tito 3
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Wakumbushe watu kuwastahi watawala na wenye mamlaka, kuwatii na kuwa tayari kwa kila namna kutenda mambo yote mema.
1Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work,
2Waambie wasimtukane mtu yeyote; bali waishi kwa amani na masikizano, wawe daima wapole kwa kila mtu.
2to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone.
3Maana, wakati mmoja sisi tulikuwa wapumbavu, wakaidi na wapotovu. Tulikuwa watumwa wa tamaa na anasa za kila aina. Tuliishi maisha ya uovu na wivu; watu walituchukia nasi tukawachukia.
3For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures—living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
4Lakini wakati wema na upendo wa Mungu, Mwokozi wetu, ulipofunuliwa,
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
5alituokoa. alituokoa si kwa sababu ya jambo lolote jema tulilotenda sisi, bali alituokoa kwa sababu ya huruma yake, kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu anayetujalia tuzaliwe upya na kuwa na maisha mapya kwa kutuosha kwa maji.
5He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
6Mungu alitumiminia Roho Mtakatifu bila kipimo kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, Mwokozi wetu,
6This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7ili kwa neema yake tupate kukubaliwa kuwa waadilifu na kuupokea uzima wa milele tunaoutumainia.
7so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
8Jambo hili ni kweli. Ninakutaka uyatilie mkazo mambo haya, ili wale wanaomwamini Mungu, wawe na hamu ya kuutumia wakati wao katika kutenda mema, ambayo ni mambo mazuri na ya manufaa kwa watu.
8This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.
9Lakini jiepushe na ubishi wa kipumbavu, ugomvi na mabishano juu ya Sheria. Mambo hayo hayana faida yoyote na ni ya bure tu.
9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
10Mtu anayesababisha mafarakano mpe onyo la kwanza na la pili, kisha achana naye.
10Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
11Wajua kwamba mtu wa namna hiyo amepotoka kabisa, na dhambi zake zathibitisha kwamba amekosea.
11knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
12Baada ya kumtuma kwako Artema au Tukiko, fanya bidii kuja Nikopoli unione, maana nimeamua kukaa huko wakati wa majira ya baridi.
12As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.
13Jitahidi kumsaidia mwana sheria Zena na Apolo ili waweze kuanza ziara zao na uhakikishe kwamba wana kila kitu wanachohitaji.
13Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.
14Ni lazima watu wetu wajifunze kuutumia wakati wao katika kutenda mema ili wasaidie katika mahitaji ya kweli, na maisha yao yawe ya kufaa.
14And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.
15Watu wote walio pamoja nami wanakusalimu. Wasalimu rafiki zetu katika imani. Nawatakieni nyote neema ya Mungu.
15All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
