1 Timothy 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. You know that] I am an apostle. I [represent] Christ Jesus because God and Christ Jesus commanded me to do it. God is the one who saved us, and Jesus is the one for whom we are confidently waiting [to return].
Bulus, manzon Almasihu Yesu bisa ga umarnin Allah Mai cetonmu, da Almasihu Yesu begenmu,
2 [You], Timothy, [are like] [MET] a true son [to me] because [you] trusted [in Christ after I told you about him]. [I pray/desire that] God, who is our Father, and Christ Jesus, who is our Lord, will [continue to act] kindly and mercifully to you, and [that they will give you inner] peace.
zuwa ga Timoti, dana na gaske cikin bangaskiya: Alheri, jinkai da salama daga wurin Allah da Almasihu Yesu Ubangijinmu.
3 [I urge you now], just like I urged you when I was going to Macedonia [province], that you remain there in Ephesus [city]. Stay there so that you may command certain persons [who teach other believers] that they not teach false [doctrines].
Kamar yadda na nanata maka ka yi, da zan tafi Makidoniya cewa, ka dakata a Afisa domin ka umarci wadansu mutane kada su koyar da wata koyarwa dabam.
4 And tell people to not continually give their attention to stories [that tell about our ancestors], stories in which there are (genealogies/lists of our ancestors’ names) that [seem to be] endless. [You must command your congregation not to think that these stories are valuable], because [whenever people think] that, they [just] start arguing about things uselessly, instead of [teaching] God’s plan, which [is concerned with] what we believe (OR, which [we know because] we trust [in Christ]).
Kada su bata lokacinsu wajen sauraron tatsunniyoyi da kididdiga marar iyaka. Wannan yana haddasa gardandami, maimakon taimakawa shirin Allah, da ke ta wurin bangaskiya.
5 [Teach them] to have pure desires [MTY] and [so to know that God] approves of what they do, and to sincerely believe [the true teaching]. By doing that, [they will] love [God well].
Manufar shari'a kuwa kauna ce daga tsabtacciyar zuciya, da tsatstsakan lamiri, da kuma sahihiyar bangaskiya.
6 There are some people who have turned away from these true teachings. As a result, they [just] discuss what is useless.
Wadansu sun kauce daga tafarkin sun juya zuwa ga maganganun banza.
7 They desire to teach the laws [that God gave to Moses], but they do not understand what they are really saying, or the things about which they (confidently speak/say that they understand well).
Suna so su zama malaman sha'ria, amma basu fahimci abin da suke fada ba ko abin da suka tsaya akai.
8 We know that the laws [that God gave to Moses are] good if people consider correctly [what God intended them for].
Amma mun sani shari'a tana da kyau idan an yi amfani da ita bisa ga ka'ida.
9 We must remember that God did not give Moses those laws in order [to condemn] righteous people. By those laws he [condemns people who act as though there were no] laws and who refuse to obey [anyone. He condemns] those who do not revere God and those who sin habitually. [By them he condemns] those who refuse to perform rituals that are pleasing to God and who show no respect for religion. [He condemns] those who murder their fathers and who murder their mothers and who murder [other] people.
Gama mun san wannan, shari'a ba domin mai adalci take ba, amma domin marasa bin doka, mutane masu tawaye, da marasa bin Allah, da masu zunubi, da marasa Allah, da masu sabo. An bada shari'a domin masu kisan iyaye maza da iyaye mata, da masu kisan kai,
10 [He condemns] those who are sexually immoral and those who are homosexuals. [He condemns] those who kidnap/steal people [in order to make them slaves]. [He condemns] those who lie and those who promise something strongly but do not do what they promised. He condemns every other action that is contrary to our true teaching.
Domin fasikai da 'yan ludu, domin masu satar mutane su kai su bauta, domin makaryata, da masu shaidar zur, da kuma dukan abin da ke gaba da amintaccen umarni.
11 This is what we teach people when we tell them the glorious/wonderful message about Christ that our awesome God [has revealed] and that he gave to me to teach.
Wannan umarni bisa ga daukakkiyar bisharar Allah ne mai albarka, wadda aka bani amana.
12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord who enabled me to do this work, because he considered that I could be trusted. So he appointed me in order that I [would serve him].
Ina gode wa Almasihu Yesu Ubangijimu. wanda ya karfafa ni, gama ya karbe ni amintacce, ya sani cikin hidimarsa.
13 Formerly I said evil things [about him], I caused [his people] to suffer, and I acted very cruelly toward them. But [Christ acted] in a kind way toward me since I (acted ignorantly/did not know that I was doing wrong) because I did not believe [in him].
Dama can ni mai sabo ne, mai tsanantawa kuma dan ta'adda. Amma duk da haka aka yi mani jinkai domin na yi su cikin jahilci da rashin bangaskiya.
14 Our Lord kindly did for me what I did not deserve, so that I now believe [in Christ Jesus] and I love others (OR, him) [because I belong to him].
Amma alherin Ubangijinmu ya kwararo mani tare da bangaskiya, da kauna da ke cikin Almasihu Yesu.
15 [Something that all we believers] say is certainly true and is worthy for us to fully accept is that Christ Jesus came into the world in order to save sinful people [so that God would not punish them for their sins]. As for me, I [consider that I have sinned] more than all others.
Wannan bishara amintacciya ce, ta isa kowa ya karba, cewa Almasihu Yesu ya zo cikin duniya domin ceton masu zunubi, a cikinsu kuwa ni ne mafi lalacewa.
16 Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Saboda haka ne na sami jinkai, domin ta wurina ni na farko, a nuna hakurin Yesu Almasihu. Ya yi wannan domin in zama misali ga wadanda za su bada gaskiya zuwa rai madawwami. (aiōnios g166)
17 I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Yanzu, ga Sarkin zamanai, marar mutuwa, boyayye, Allah makadaici girma, da daukaka su tabbata a gare shi har abada abadin. Amin. (aiōn g165)
18 Timothy, you [are like] [MET] a son [to me]. So, (based on/in accordance with) what [someone] previously (prophesied/told what God revealed to them) about you, I am instructing you [to strongly oppose those who teach false doctrines. You should oppose them like] [MET] a soldier (fights strongly against/opposes) [those who attack his countrymen].
Ina danka wannan umarni gareka, dana, Timoti. Ina haka ne bisa ga anabcin da aka yi a baya game da kai, domin ka shiga yaki mai kyau.
19 Continue to believe [the true teaching] and do only what you know to be right! Remember that some people have (pushed aside/rejected) the true teaching. As a result, they no longer believe [MET] what is true.
Ka yi wannan domin ka zama da bangaskiya da kyakkyawan lamiri. Wadansu mutane sun ki sauraron wannan suka yi barin bangaskiyarsu.
20 Among the ones who have done that are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I put in the hands of Satan, in order that [when Satan punishes them] they may learn not to teach wrong teaching.
Kamar su Himinayus da Iskandari, wadanda na bada su ga shaidan domin su horu su koyi kin yi sabo.
