< Titus 2 >
1 Dole ka koyar da abin da yake bisa sahihiyar koyarwa.
But as for you [(sg)], teach [the believers] what agrees with the correct teachings.
2 Ka koya wa tsofaffin maza su kasance masu sauƙinkai, waɗanda suka cancanci girmamawa, masu kamunkai, sahihai wajen bangaskiya, da ƙauna da kuma jimiri.
[Specifically, tell] the older men that they should control themselves (in all situations/whatever happens), [that they should behave in such a manner] that all people will respect them, and that they should control what they say and do. And tell them that they should firmly believe in the correct teachings, that they should sincerely love others, and that they should always be steadfast.
3 Haka ma, ka koya wa tsofaffin mata su zama masu bangirma cikin rayuwarsu, ba masu ɓata suna ko masu jarrabar shan giya ba, sai dai su zama masu koyar da abin da yake nagari.
Similarly, [tell] the older women that they should behave (in a reverent manner that shows that they are devoted to God/in a manner that honors God); [specifically, they should] not (slander others/talk evil about others), and they should not (be drinking much/[habitually] drinking) [alcohol]. Tell them that they should teach [the younger women] what is good,
4 Sa’an nan za su iya su koya wa mata masu ƙuruciya su ƙaunaci mazansu da’ya’yansu,
in order that they may love their husbands and their children.
5 su kasance da kamunkai da kuma tsarki, masu aiki a gida, masu kirki da kuma masu biyayya ga mazansu, don kada wani yă rena maganar Allah.
Older women should teach younger women to control what they say and do and to be pure in every way, to be good workers at home and submissive to their own husbands. [The younger women should behave like this] in order that no one will speak against the message about God.
6 Haka kuma, ka ƙarfafa samari su zama masu kamunkai.
As for the younger men, similarly, urge them to control themselves [in all that they say and do].
7 Cikin kowane abu ka zama musu misali mai kyau ta wurin aikata abin da yake nagari. A cikin koyarwarka ka nuna mutunci da ƙwazo
You yourself must continually do what is good in order that others will see how they should behave. Teach [the believers] sincerely and seriously;
8 da kuma sahihanci cikin maganar da ba za a iya kushewa ba, domin masu gāba da kai su ji kunya, su kuma rasa wani mugun abin da za su faɗa game da mu.
teach what is correct and what no one can [justly] criticize. [Do this] in order that [when the believers] conduct their lives [in a proper manner], anyone who opposes ([us/our message]) will be disappointed because there will be nothing bad that they can [justly] say about us.
9 Ka koya wa bayi su yi wa iyayengijinsu biyayya cikin kowane abu, su yi ƙoƙari su gamshe su, kada su mayar musu da magana,
As for slaves, [specifically, urge them] to be submissive to their masters in everything. They should please [their masters; specifically, they should not] ([contradict/refuse to obey]) [their masters].
10 kada kuma su yi musu sata, sai dai su nuna za a iya amince da su sosai, don ta kowace hanya su sa koyarwa game da Allah Mai Cetonmu ta zama abin ɗaukan hankali.
They should not steal [things that belong to their masters]. Instead, they should always be completely honest/reliable and thus [show their masters that their masters can] completely trust them. They should behave like this in order that [as a result of all the slaves conducting themselves well, people] will realize that the teachings about God our Savior are very desirable.
11 Gama alherin Allah mai kawo ceto ya bayyana ga dukan mutane.
[The believers should behave in a good manner], since God did for us what we did not deserve, [sending Jesus Christ to earth] in order that he might save all people [PRS].
12 Yana koya mana mu ce, “A’a” ga rashin tsoron Allah da kuma sha’awace-sha’awacen duniya, mu kuma yi rayuwa ta kamunkai, ta adalci da kuma ta tsoron Allah a cikin wannan zamani, (aiōn )
God teaches/tells us [PRS] how to stop doing what he dislikes, and to stop desiring the things that (ungodly people/people who habitually do things that do not please God) desire [MTY]. He wants us to control our behavior and to do what is right and to do what pleases him while we live in this present age/time. (aiōn )
13 yayinda muke sauraron begenmu mai albarka bayyanuwar ɗaukakar Allahnmu mai girma da kuma Mai Cetonmu, Yesu Kiristi,
[Do not forget that] we are waiting expectantly for that which will make us very happy [indeed] [MTY]! We are expectantly waiting for our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come gloriously!
14 wanda ya ba da kansa dominmu don yă fanshe mu daga dukan mugunta yă kuma tsarkake wa kansa mutanen da suke nasa, waɗanda suke marmarin yin abin da yake nagari.
He is the one who [willingly] gave himself ([to die/as a sacrifice]) on our behalf to set us free from all sinful behavior! He wants (us to get rid of all our evil behavior/to make our lives pure) [MET]. He wants us, who are his very own people, to be [people who] are eager to do what is good.
15 Waɗannan kam, su ne abubuwan da ya kamata ka koyar, ka ƙarfafa ka kuma tsawata da dukan iko. Kada ka yarda wani yă rena ka.
Teach [the believers] these things! Urge [them to do them]! Correct [those who do not obey them! As you do this, you have my] full authority; so do not allow anyone to disregard you!
