Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Christ Jesus, for the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Bulus, bawan Allah, kuma manzon Yesu Almasihu, ta wurin bangaskiyar zababbun mutanen Allah da sanin gaskiya da ta yadda da allahntaka.
2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised from the most ancient times, (aiōnios g166)
Wadannan na cikin begen rai marar matuka wanda Allah, wanda babu karya a cikinsa, ya alkawarta kafin dukkan lokatan zamanai. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own seasons manifested his word through the preaching with which I was intrusted by the commandment of God our Saviour:
A daidai lokaci, ya bayyana maganarsa ta wurin sakonsa da ya damka mani in shelar. Zan yi wannan ta wurin umarnin Allah mai ceton mu.
4 to Titus, true child after the common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Zuwa ga Titus, da' na gaske a cikin bangaskiyarmu. Alheri, jinkai da salama daga wurin Allah Uba da Almasihu Yesu mai ceton mu.
5 For this cause I left thee behind in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed thee;
Sabili da wannan ne na bar ka a Karita domin ka daidaita abubuwan da basu cika ba, ka kuma nada dattibai a dukan birane kamar yadda na umarceka.
6 if any one is without reproach, the husband of one wife, having believing children, that are not accused of dissoluteness, or unruly.
Dole ne dattijo ya zama marar abin zargi, mijin mace daya, da amintattun 'ya'ya wadanda babu wani zargi na mugunta ko rashin kamun kai a kansu.
7 For a bishop must be without reproach, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain,
Wajibi ne shugaban Ikklisiya, a matsayin sa na mai kulla da haikalin Allah, ya zama marar aibi. Kada ya zama mai surutu ko rashin hakuri. Kada ya zama mai saurin fushi, ko mashayi, ko mai hayaniya, ko mai handama.
8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, discreet, just, holy, temperate,
Maimakon haka, ya zama mai karbar baki, abokin abinda ke mai kyau. Dole ne ya zama mai hankali, adali, cike da allahntaka, da kuma kamun kai.
9 holding fast the sure word according to what he was taught, that he may be able by sound teaching both to exhort, and to refute the gainsayers.
Ya zama mai rike amintaccen sakon da aka koyar da karfi, yadda zai iya karfafa wasu da koyarwa mai kyau ya kuma yi wa wadanda suke hamayya da shi gyara.
10 For there are many unruly vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision;
Domin akwai kangararrun mutane dayawa, musamman masu kaciya. Maganganunsu na banza ne. Suna yaudara kuma suna badda mutane.
11 whose mouths must be stopped, since they overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of base gain.
Wajibi ne mu hana su. Suna koyar da abinda bai kamata su koyar ba saboda makunyaciyar riba suna kuma rusar da iyalai dungum.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said: “The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful gluttons.”
Daya daga cikinsu, kuma mai hikima ne daga cikinsu, yace, “Kirawa manyan makaryata ne, lalatattu kuma miyagun dabbobi, masu kyiuya da zarin cin abinci.”
13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Wannan magana gaskiya ne, ka yi masu gyara da tsanani yadda zasu kafu a cikin bangaskiya.
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Kada ka mai da hankalin ka ga tatsunniyoyi na Yahudawa ko dokokin mutane wadanda sun sauya gaskiya.
15 To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled.
Ga wadanda suke da tsarki, komai mai tsarki ne. Amma wadanda suke marasa tsarki da rashin bangaskiya, komai marar tsarki ne. Domin zuciyarsu da lamirinsu sun gurbata.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and for every good work reprobate.
Suna cewa sun san Allah, amma sun musanta shi ta wurin ayyukansu. Sun zama abin kyama da marasa biyayya. Ba za a iya tabbaatar dasu ba akan wani aiki maikyau.
