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,
Remind them to submit to the governments, authorities, to obey the rule over them, to be ready unto 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, that they should be peaceable, gentle, showing all meekness to 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 when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;
4 Amma da alheri da kuma ƙaunar Allah Mai Cetonmu suka bayyana,
but when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour 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 from works which are in righteousness, which we did, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewal of the Holy Ghost,
6 wanda ya zubo mana a yalwace ta wurin Yesu Kiristi Mai Cetonmu,
whom 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)
in order that, being justified by his faith, we may be made 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 wish you to be established concerning these things, in order that those having believed in God may think to excel in good works. These things are beautiful and useful to the people:
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 reject foolish questions, and genealogies, and strife, and controversies about law; 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.
Reject a heretical man after the first and second admonition;
11 Ka dai san cewa irin mutumin nan ya taurare kuma mai zunubi ne; ya yanke wa kansa hukunci.
knowing that such an one is turned away, and is sinning, 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 or Tychicus to you, hasten to come to me at Nicopolis: for I have determined to spend the winter there.
13 Ka yi iyakacin ƙoƙarinka ka taimaki Zenas lauyan nan da Afollos a hanyarsu ka kuma tabbata ba su rasa kome ba.
Send on Zenas the lawyer and Apollos speedily, in order 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 our people indeed learn to excel in good works for necessary uses, in order 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 who are with me salute you. Salute those who love us with the love of friendship in the faith. Grace be with you all.
