Taitusi 1

1 Ko au Paula, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, mo e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he tui ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻiloʻi ʻoe moʻoni ʻaia ʻoku taau mo e anga fakaʻotua;

Bulus, bawan Allah, kuma manzon Yesu Almasihu, ta wurin bangaskiyar zababbun mutanen Allah da sanin gaskiya da ta yadda da allahntaka.

2 ‌ʻI he ʻamanaki lelei ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito loi, ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani; (aiōnios g166)

Wadannan na cikin begen rai marar matuka wanda Allah, wanda babu karya a cikinsa, ya alkawarta kafin dukkan lokatan zamanai. (aiōnios g166)

3 Ka kuo fakahā ʻi hono kuonga totonu ʻa ʻene folofola ʻi he malanga, ʻaia kuo tuku kiate au, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui;

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 Ke ʻia Taitusi, ko e foha moʻoni ʻo taau mo e tui ʻatautolu kotoa pē, ʻae ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau Fakamoʻui.

Zuwa ga Titus, da' na gaske a cikin bangaskiyarmu. Alheri, jinkai da salama daga wurin Allah Uba da Almasihu Yesu mai ceton mu.

5 Ko e meʻa ni naʻaku tuku ai koe ʻi Keliti, koeʻuhi ke ke fakatonutonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻosi, ʻo fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate koe:

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 Kapau ʻoku taʻehala ha tokotaha, koe husepāniti ʻoe fefine pe taha, ʻoku tui ʻene fānau, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokia ʻi ha fakamaveuveu pe ha talangataʻa.

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 He ʻoku totonu ke taʻehalaia ʻae tauhi, ʻo taau mo e tauhi koloa ʻae ʻOtua; ʻo ʻikai fai ki hono loto, pe ʻitangofua, pe tokanga ki he uaine, pe faʻa tā, pe tokanga ki he koloa ʻuli;

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 Kae ʻofa ia ki he fai angalelei, pea ʻofa ki he kakai angalelei, ke ne anga fakapotopoto, mo angatotonu, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo angamaau;

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 ‌ʻO ne puke ke maʻu ʻae lea moʻoni, ʻo hangē ko hono akonekina, koeʻuhi ke ne faʻa fai ke enginaki mo valoki tonu ʻae kau lea kovi ʻaki ʻae akonaki totonu.

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 He ʻoku ai ʻae tokolahi ʻoku angatuʻu, ko e kau launoa mo e kau kākā, pea ʻoku tuʻu muʻa ai ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu:

Domin akwai kangararrun mutane dayawa, musamman masu kaciya. Maganganunsu na banza ne. Suna yaudara kuma suna badda mutane.

11 ‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku totonu ke tāpuni honau ngutu; ʻoku nau fakahēʻi ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa, ʻo ako ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ka nau maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻuli.

Wajibi ne mu hana su. Suna koyar da abinda bai kamata su koyar ba saboda makunyaciyar riba suna kuma rusar da iyalai dungum.

12 Ko honau tokotaha, ko e tangata kikite pe ʻonautolu, naʻe pehē, “ʻOku loi maʻuaipē ʻae kakai Keliti, ko e fanga manu fekai mo kovi, ko e kau faʻa kai fakapikopiko.”

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 Ko e fakamoʻoni ni ʻoku moʻoni. Ko ia ke ke valoki māsila ʻakinautolu, ke nau haohaoa ʻi he tui;

Wannan magana gaskiya ne, ka yi masu gyara da tsanani yadda zasu kafu a cikin bangaskiya.

14 ‌ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa fakaSiu, mo e ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku afe mei he moʻoni.

Kada ka mai da hankalin ka ga tatsunniyoyi na Yahudawa ko dokokin mutane wadanda sun sauya gaskiya.

15 ‌ʻOku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa: ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ha meʻa ʻe taha kiate kinautolu ʻoku anga ʻuli mo taʻetui; he ko honau loto mo honau ʻatamai kuo ʻuliʻi.

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 ‌ʻOku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngaue ʻoku nau siʻaki ia, ʻoku nau anga fakalielia, mo talangataʻa, pea taʻehafifili lelei ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.

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.
