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 be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for 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 gentle, showing courtesy to all people.
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 also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, 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 of God our Savior and his love toward humankind 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 by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of rebirth and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 wanda ya zubo mana a yalwace ta wurin Yesu Kiristi Mai Cetonmu,
whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
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 grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of everlasting 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 saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable for 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 shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the 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 divisive person after a first and second warning;
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 send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to 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.
Send Zenas, the Law scholar, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for 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.
Let our people also learn to maintain 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 greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
