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 governments, and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to 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; to be no fighters, but equitable, 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 even we ourselves were formerly foolish, disobedient, erring, slavishly serving diverse inordinate desires 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 goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth,
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,
he saved us--not on account of works of righteousness which we had done--but according to his own mercy, through the bath of regeneration, and the renewing 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 being justified by his favor, we might 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.
This doctrine is true: and concerning these, I charge you to affirm strongly, that those who have believed in God, be studious to stand foremost in good works. These are things that are honorable 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 fightings about the law, resist; 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.
A factionist, after a first and second admonition, reject;
11 Ka dai san cewa irin mutumin nan ya taurare kuma mai zunubi ne; ya yanke wa kansa hukunci.
knowing that such a person 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 you, or Tychicus, make haste to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have determined 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.
Diligently help forward on their journey, Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos, that nothing may be wanting 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 stand foremost in good works, for necessary uses, 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 them who love us in the faith. Favor be with you all.
