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 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 eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world 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 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to 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, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ 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 in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed 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 is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or rebellion.
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 blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money;
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 a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober minded, 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 faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convict those who contradict.
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 and 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, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest 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 Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, 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, 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, that turn 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 them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is 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 in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work disqualified.
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.
