Titus 1
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Bulus, bawan Allah, kuma manzon Yesu Almasihu, ta wurin bangaskiyar zababbun mutanen Allah da sanin gaskiya da ta yadda da allahntaka.
Wadannan na cikin begen rai marar matuka wanda Allah, wanda babu karya a cikinsa, ya alkawarta kafin dukkan lokatan zamanai. (aiōnios g166)
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
A daidai lokaci, ya bayyana maganarsa ta wurin sakonsa da ya damka mani in shelar. Zan yi wannan ta wurin umarnin Allah mai ceton mu.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
Zuwa ga Titus, da' na gaske a cikin bangaskiyarmu. Alheri, jinkai da salama daga wurin Allah Uba da Almasihu Yesu mai ceton mu.
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
Sabili da wannan ne na bar ka a Karita domin ka daidaita abubuwan da basu cika ba, ka kuma nada dattibai a dukan birane kamar yadda na umarceka.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
Dole ne dattijo ya zama marar abin zargi, mijin mace daya, da amintattun 'ya'ya wadanda babu wani zargi na mugunta ko rashin kamun kai a kansu.
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
Wajibi ne shugaban Ikklisiya, a matsayin sa na mai kulla da haikalin Allah, ya zama marar aibi. Kada ya zama mai surutu ko rashin hakuri. Kada ya zama mai saurin fushi, ko mashayi, ko mai hayaniya, ko mai handama.
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
Maimakon haka, ya zama mai karbar baki, abokin abinda ke mai kyau. Dole ne ya zama mai hankali, adali, cike da allahntaka, da kuma kamun kai.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
Ya zama mai rike amintaccen sakon da aka koyar da karfi, yadda zai iya karfafa wasu da koyarwa mai kyau ya kuma yi wa wadanda suke hamayya da shi gyara.
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Domin akwai kangararrun mutane dayawa, musamman masu kaciya. Maganganunsu na banza ne. Suna yaudara kuma suna badda mutane.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
Wajibi ne mu hana su. Suna koyar da abinda bai kamata su koyar ba saboda makunyaciyar riba suna kuma rusar da iyalai dungum.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
Daya daga cikinsu, kuma mai hikima ne daga cikinsu, yace, “Kirawa manyan makaryata ne, lalatattu kuma miyagun dabbobi, masu kyiuya da zarin cin abinci.”
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Wannan magana gaskiya ne, ka yi masu gyara da tsanani yadda zasu kafu a cikin bangaskiya.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Kada ka mai da hankalin ka ga tatsunniyoyi na Yahudawa ko dokokin mutane wadanda sun sauya gaskiya.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Ga wadanda suke da tsarki, komai mai tsarki ne. Amma wadanda suke marasa tsarki da rashin bangaskiya, komai marar tsarki ne. Domin zuciyarsu da lamirinsu sun gurbata.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
Suna cewa sun san Allah, amma sun musanta shi ta wurin ayyukansu. Sun zama abin kyama da marasa biyayya. Ba za a iya tabbaatar dasu ba akan wani aiki maikyau.
