Titus 3
1 Ka tuna wa mutane su zama masu biyayya ga masu mulki da kuma hukumomi, su zama masu biyayya suna kuma a shirye su yi kowane abin da yake mai kyau,
Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,
2 kada su zama masu ɓata sunan kowa, su zama masu salama da kulawa, su kuma zama masu matuƙar tawali’u ga dukan mutane.
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.
3 A wani lokaci can baya mu ma wawaye ne, marasa biyayya, aka ruɗe mu, sha’awace-sha’awace da kwaɗayi iri-iri suka daure mu, muka yi zaman ƙiyayya da kishi, aka ƙi mu, mu kuma muka ƙi juna.
For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
4 Amma da alheri da kuma ƙaunar Allah Mai Cetonmu suka bayyana,
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,
5 sai ya cece mu, ba saboda abubuwan adalcin da muka aikata ba, sai dai saboda jinƙansa. Ya cece mu ta wurin wankan nan na sāke haihuwa da kuma sabuntawan nan ta Ruhu Mai Tsarki,
not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,
6 wanda ya zubo mana a yalwace ta wurin Yesu Kiristi Mai Cetonmu,
which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 wannan fa domin an kuɓutar da mu ne ta wurin alherinsa, don mu zama magāda masu begen ga rai madawwami. (aiōnios g166)
that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Wannan magana tabbatacciya ce, ina kuma so ka nanata waɗannan abubuwa ƙwarai, domin waɗanda suka dogara ga Allah su himmantu ga aiki mai kyau. Waɗannan abubuwa suna da kyau sosai suna kuma da amfani ga kowane mutum.
The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 Amma ka guji jayayyar banza da ƙididdigar asali da gardandami da faɗace-faɗace game da Doka, gama ba su da riba kuma aikin banza ne.
But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 Ka gargaɗe mutumin da yake kawo tsattsaguwa sau ɗaya, ka kuma gargaɗe shi sau na biyu. Bayan haka, kada wani abu yă haɗa ka da shi.
An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,
11 Ka dai san cewa irin mutumin nan ya taurare kuma mai zunubi ne; ya yanke wa kansa hukunci.
knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12 Da zarar na aika Artemas ko Tikikus zuwa wurinka, sai ka yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinka ka zo wurina a Nikofolis, domin na yanke shawara in ci damina a can.
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.
13 Ka yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinka ka taimaki Zenas lauyan nan da Afollos a hanyarsu ka kuma tabbata ba su rasa kome ba.
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;
14 Dole mutanenmu su koyi ba da kansu ga aikata abin da yake nagari, domin su iya biyan bukatunsu na yau da kullum kada kuma su yi rayuwar marar amfani.
and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 Dukan waɗanda suke tare da ni suna gaishe ka. Ka gaggai mini da masoyanmu, masu bangaskiya. Alheri yă kasance tare da ku duka.
All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.
