Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Bulus, bawan Allah da kuma manzon Yesu Kiristi saboda bangaskiyar zaɓaɓɓu na Allah da kuma sanin gaskiya wadda take kaiwa ga rayuwa ta tsoron Allah
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (aiōnios g166)
duk wannan kuwa saboda begen nan ne ga rai madawwami da Allah ya yi alkawari tun fil azal, shi wanda ƙarya ba ta a gare shi, (aiōnios g166)
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
da lokacin da Allah ya zaɓa ya cika sai ya bayyana maganarsa a sarari ta wurin wa’azin da aka danƙa mini amana ta wurin umarnin Allah Mai Cetonmu,
4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Zuwa ga Titus, ɗana na gaske a tarayyarmu cikin bangaskiya. Alheri da salama daga Allah Uba da kuma Kiristi Yesu Mai Cetonmu, su kasance tare da kai.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Dalilin da ya sa na bar ka a Kirit shi ne don ka daidaita abubuwan da suka rage da ba a kammala ba, ka kuma naɗa dattawa a kowane gari, yadda na umarce ka.
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Dole dattijo yă kasance marar aibi, mijin mace guda, mutumin da’ya’yansa masu bi ne, waɗanda kuma ba a san su da lalata ko rashin biyayya ba.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Da yake an danƙa wa mai kula da ikkilisiya riƙon amana saboda Allah, dole yă zama marar aibi ba mai girman kai ba, ba mai saurin fushi ba, ba mai buguwa ba, ba mai rikici ba, ba kuma mai son ƙazamar riba ba.
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
A maimakon haka dole yă zama mai karɓan baƙi, mai son abu nagari, mai kamunkai, mai adalci, mai tsarki da kuma natsattse.
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Dole yă riƙe tabbataccen saƙon nan kam-kam yadda aka koyar, don yă iya ƙarfafa waɗansu da sahihiyar koyarwa yă kuma ƙaryata waɗanda suke gāba da shi.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Gama akwai’yan tawaye da yawa, masu surutun banza da masu ruɗi, musamman ƙungiyar masu kaciya.
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.
Dole a hana su yin magana, domin suna kawo rushewar iyalai ta wurin koyar da abubuwan da bai kamata su koyar ba don neman ƙazamar riba.
12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Wani daga cikin annabawansu ma ya ce, “Kiretawa a kullum maƙaryata ne, mugayen dabbobi, ragwaye haɗamammu.”
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Wannan shaida gaskiya ce. Saboda haka, sai ka tsawata musu sosai, don su zama sahihai a wajen bangaskiya,
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
ba za su kuma mai da hankalinsu ga tatsuniyoyin Yahudawa ko ga umarnan waɗanda suke ƙin gaskiya ba.
15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Ga tsarkaka kuwa, kome mai tsarki ne, amma ga waɗanda suke marasa tsarki da kuma marasa ba da gaskiya, ba abin da yake da tsarki. Gaskiya dai, hankulansu da lamirinsu duk marasa tsarki ne.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Sun ɗauka cewa sun san Allah, amma ta wurin ayyukansu suna mūsunsa. Sun zama abin ƙyama, marasa biyayya, ba su ma isa su yi aiki nagari ba.
