2 ayi mambu amomo, matedi kivuvu ki luzingu lu mvu ka mvu lo Nzambi yikhambu vunanga kakanikisa tona thama.
3 Vayi mu thangu’andi yifuana, nandi wuzabikisa diambu diandi mu nzila kisalu ki kusamuna kaphana, dedi bo Nzambi mvukis’itu katumina.
4 Kuidi ngiewu Titu, muana wu luzolo mu kithuadi na kiminu tuidi:
Bika ndembama ayi mamboti malutidi ma Tat’itu Nzambi, ayi ma mvukis’itu Yesu Klistu, maba yaku.
5 Minu yi kubika ku Krete, muingi kuludika mambu maba tombulu ayi kusola zikhomba badi bafuana muingi kuba bakulutu ba kimvuka mu kadika divula, mu kulandakana zithuadusulu azizi yi kuvana:
6 Muingi kuba nkulutu wu kimvuka, khomba kafueti ba mutu bakhambu zabila mu kuvanga mambu mambi, kafueti ba nkazi wumueka to, bana bandi bafueti ba bakuikama ayi bakhambu zabakana mu mavanga mambi ayi ntu ngolo.
7 Kibila mu kuba mutu Nzambi kabieka, nkulutu wu kimvuka, kafueti ba mutu wukhambulu tsembulu, lungundayi, wukhambu fika fuemanga, wukhambulu kikolu ki malavu,* wukhambulu buphunya ayi wukhambu bakilanga biuma mu luvunu.*
8 Vayi kafueti ba, mutu wunyambanga bankaka, wunzolanga mamboti, widi nduenga,* wusonga, wukuikama, zebi kukiyala,
9 kafueti ba wukuikama mu diambu di Nzambi mu matedi phil’andi yi kulongila, muingi kakindisa bankaka mu malongi mamboti ayi kusemba batu bamfindanga ziphaka.*
10 Kibila, veka batu bawombo badi ntu ngolo, bankolukanga phamba ayi bankua luvunu. Vayi bulutidi bo bantatamana kukuika bankaka kuzengisa nyitu yi kibakala.
11 Vantombulu kuba zibika miunu, kibila batu abobo bantatamana kutulula makanda mu kulonga mambu makhambu fuana, muingi babaka ndandu.
12 Wumueka mu mimbikudi miawu wutuba: “Basi Krete, badi bankua luvunu, badi buka bibulu bi nganzi ayi bandianga beni,* vayi batianga ko kusala.”
13 Mambu amomo madi makiedika. Diawu tatamana kuba vana tsembulu yingolo, muingi batatamana bakindama mu kiminu
14 ayi babika teka matu mu binongo bi luvunu bi basi Yuda ayi malongi ma batu batatuka kiedika.
15 Kuidi batu badiodila, biuma bioso bidi bidiodila, vayi kuidi batu bakhambulu badiodila ayi bakhambulu kiminu, vasi ko kiuma kidiodila, kibila mayindu mawu ayi kilunzi kiawu, bidi mvindu.
16 Bawu bantubanga va nyalu nguba ti bazebi Nzambi, vayi bamonisanga ko mawu mu mavanga, ayi basi ko bafuana muingi kuvanga ni diambu dimueka dimboti.
