1 Timothy 3
1 Trustworthy [is] the saying: If anyone overseership aspires to, of good a work he is desirous.
Ga wata tabbatacciyar magana. In wani ya sa zuciyarsa a kan zama mai kula da ikkilisiya, yana marmarin yin aiki mai daraja ne.
2 It behooves therefore the overseer above reproach to be, of one wife [the] husband, sober, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
To, dole mai kula da Ikkilisiya yă kasance marar abin zargi, mijin mace guda, mai sauƙinkai, mai kamunkai, wanda ake girmama, mai karɓan baƙi, mai iya koyarwa,
3 not given to wine, not a striker (not greedy of base gain *K*) but gentle, peaceable, not loving money,
ba mai buguwa ba, ba mai rikici ba sai dai mai hankali, ba mai yawan faɗa ba, ba kuma mai yawan son kuɗi ba.
4 [his] own house well managing, children having in submission with all dignity.
Dole yă iya tafiyar da iyalinsa da kyau, yă kuma tabbata cewa’ya’yansa suna yin masa biyayya da ladabin da ya dace.
5 if but one his [own] household to manage not knows, how [the] church of God will he care for?
(In mutum bai san yadda zai tafiyar da iyalinsa ba, yaya zai iya kula da ikkilisiyar Allah?)
6 not a novice, that not having been puffed up into [the] judgment he may fall of the devil.
Kada yă zama sabon tuba, in ba haka zai zama mai girman kai yă kuma fāɗa cikin irin hukuncin da ya fāɗo wa Iblis.
7 It behooves now (him *k*) also a testimony good to have from those outside, so that not into reproach he may fall and [the] snare of the devil.
Dole kuma yă kasance da shaida mai kyau ga waɗanda suke na waje, don kada yă zama abin kunya yă kuma fāɗa cikin tarkon Iblis.
8 Deacons likewise [must be] dignified, not double-tongued, not to wine much being given, not greedy of dishonest gain,
Haka masu hidima a cikin ikkilisiya; su ma, su zama maza da sun cancanci girmamawa, masu gaskiya, ba masu yawan shan ruwan inabi ba, ba masu kwaɗayin ƙazamar riba ba.
9 holding to the mystery of the faith with clear a conscience.
Dole su riƙe asirin bangaskiya su kuma kasance da lamiri mai tsabta.
10 Also these now they should be tested first, then they should serve blameless being.
Dole a fara gwada su tukuna; sa’an nan in ba a sami wani abin zargi game da su ba, sai su shiga aikin masu hidima.
11 Women likewise [must be] dignified, not slanderers, (clear-minded, *N(k)O*) faithful in all things.
A haka kuma, dole matansu su zama matan da suka cancanci girmamawa, ba masu gulma ba, sai dai masu sauƙinkai da kuma masu aminci a cikin kome.
12 Deacons should be of one wife husbands, [their] children well managing and [their] own households.
Dole mai hidimar ikkilisiya yă zama mijin mace guda dole kuma yă iya tafiyar da’ya’yansa da kuma iyalinsa da kyau.
13 Those for well having served a standing for themselves good acquire and great confidence in [the] faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
Waɗanda suke hidima da kyau suna samar wa kansu kyakkyawan suna da kuma cikakken tabbatarwa a cikin bangaskiyarsu cikin Kiristi Yesu.
14 These things to you I am writing hoping to come to you (with *no*) (speed; *N(k)O*)
Ko da yake ina sa zuciya zo wurinka nan ba da daɗewa ba, ina rubuta muka waɗannan umarnai domin,
15 if however I shall delay, so that you may know how it behooves [one] in [the] household of God to conduct oneself, which is [the] church of God [the] living, [the] pillar and base of the truth.
in na yi jinkiri, za ka san yadda ya kamata mutane su tafiyar da halayensu a cikin jama’ar Allah, wadda take ikkilisiyar Allah rayayye, ginshiƙi da kuma tushen gaskiya.
16 And confessedly great is the of godliness mystery: (Who *N(K)O*) was revealed in [the] flesh, was justified in [the] Spirit, beheld by angels, was proclaimed among [the] nations, was believed on in [the] world, was taken up in glory.
Ba shakka, asirin addini da girma yake. Ya bayyana cikin jiki, Ruhu ya nuna shi adali ne, mala’iku suka gan shi, aka yi wa’azinsa cikin al’ummai, aka gaskata shi a duniya, aka ɗauke shi sama cikin ɗaukaka.
