Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, appointed to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in accordance with godliness,
Bulus, bawan Allah, kuma manzon Yesu Almasihu, ta wurin bangaskiyar zababbun mutanen Allah da sanin gaskiya da ta yadda da allahntaka.
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before time began; (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 in his own time he revealed his word through the preaching with which I was entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
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, my true child in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Zuwa ga Titus, da' na gaske a cikin bangaskiyarmu. Alheri, jinkai da salama daga wurin Allah Uba da Almasihu Yesu mai ceton mu.
5 The reason I left yoʋ in Crete was for yoʋ to put in order what remained to be done and to appoint elders in every town, as I directed yoʋ.
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 An elder must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who are not rebellious and cannot be accused of debauchery.
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 an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for sordid 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 goodness, sensible, just, holy, and self-controlled,
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 firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others with sound doctrine and refute those who contradict it.
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 rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision faction.
Domin akwai kangararrun mutane dayawa, musamman masu kaciya. Maganganunsu na banza ne. Suna yaudara kuma suna badda mutane.
11 They must be silenced, because they are ruining entire households by teaching what they ought not to teach, for the sake of sordid 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 their very own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and lazy 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. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they may become sound in the faith,
Wannan magana gaskiya ne, ka yi masu gyara da tsanani yadda zasu kafu a cikin bangaskiya.
14 not paying any attention to Jewish myths or the 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 those who are defiled and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and their consciences 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 to know God, but by their works they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient, and have proven themselves to be unqualified for any good work.
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.
