1 Timothy 4
1 [God’s] Spirit has clearly told us that in later times some people will stop believing the [teaching] that [all of us] believe. Instead, they will listen to [evil] spirits who deceive [people. They will also believe the false] doctrines/teachings that [they receive from] these evil spirits.
To Ruhu ya fada a fili cewa, a zamanin karshe wadansu mutane za su kauce daga bangaskiya, su mai da hankalin su ga ruhohi masu rudi, da koyarwar aljannu,
2 The people who teach those false doctrines/teachings are liars! And they do not feel at all guilty [MET] [when they teach such teachings]!
cikin karya da munafunci. Lamirinsu zai yi kanta.
3 [For example], they forbid [believers] to marry [because they say that it makes us unacceptable to God]. They also [command] that people abstain from [eating certain] foods. But God created such foods in order that we can eat them! We who believe [in Christ] know the true [teaching], and we thank [God for the food that he gives us. That is why we] can eat it.
Za su haramta aure da karbar abincin da Allah ya halitta, domin su raba da godiya a cikin wadanda suka bada gaskiya suka kuma san gaskiyar.
4 [We can eat all kinds of food] because God has created all [food], and it is all good. We should not refuse to eat certain kinds of food if we thank [God for it] when we eat it.
Gama duk abin da Allah ya halitta yana da kyau. Domin duk abin da muka karba da godiya, bai kamata mu ki shi ba.
5 It is acceptable [to God] because God [long ago] said [that all things that he made are good], and because we pray that God will bless it.
Gama an tsarkake shi ta wurin maganar Allah da addu'a.
6 When you teach these things to your fellow believers, you will be showing that you, [whom] Christ Jesus [appointed], serve them well. You will have become strong [spiritually] (by holding fast/by obeying) the true message that [we all] believe.
Idan ka tuna wa 'yan'uwa wadannan abubuwa za ka zama bawan kirki na Almasihu. Domin ana gina ka ne ta wurin maganar bangaskiya da kuma kyakkyawar koyarwa wadda ka bi.
7 You must completely reject godless, silly/foolish stories [from your ancestors that old people tell]. Keep training yourself so that you have more (godly behavior/behavior that pleases God).
Amma ka guji labaran almara wadanda tsofaffin mata ke so. Maimakon haka sai ka hori kanka cikin bin Allah.
8 [Some people say], “It helps us in some ways if we exercise our bodies.” But [I say that] people benefit very much if they live (in a godly way/in a way that pleases God), because [if people live in a godly way, that] will benefit them both while they live now and when they live in the future life [in heaven].
Domin horon jiki ya na da amfani kadan. Amma horon kai cikin bin Allah yana da amfani ga dukkan abubuwa. Gama a cikinsa akwai alkawari domin wannan rayuwar da kuma rayuwa mai zuwa.
9 Those are words that are absolutely true, and everybody should believe them!
Maganan nan amintacciyace ta isa a karbe ta dungum.
10 This is the reason why we work so hard [DOU] [for others], because we confidently expect that God, who is all-powerful, [will do the things that he has promised]. He is the one who [wants to] save all people, [so he protects them]. He certainly [protects us] who believe [in Christ]!
Dalilin da ya sa kenan mu ke aiki tukuru. Domin muna sa bege ga Allah mai rai, mai ceton dukkan mutane, musamman masu ba da gaskiya.
11 Command these things and teach these things.
Ka yi shela ka kuma koyar da wadannan abubuwa.
12 [Timothy], by the way you conduct your life, show the believers [in your congregation] how they should conduct their lives. Specifically, speak [good things], conduct yourself [well], love [people], trust [God], and be pure in every way. If you do all that, no one will [have any reason] (to belittle/to treat you disrespectfully) because of your being young.
Kada ka yarda kowa ya rena kuruciyarka. Maimakon haka, ka zama abin koyi ga dukkan masubi: a furci, hali, kauna, aminci da kuma tsarki.
13 Until I come, be sure that you read [the Scriptures to the congregation] and that you exhort/urge them [to obey the Scriptures], and teach them.
Har sai na zo, ka himmatu da yin karatu, da wa'azi, da kuma koyarwa.
14 Do not forget [to use] the [abilities that God] gave to you as a result of [people/us] (prophesying/telling what God revealed to them) [about you], and as a result of the elders putting their hands on you [to commission/appoint you to do God’s work].
Kada ka yi sakaci da baiwar da ka ke da ita wadda aka baka ta wurin anabci sa'ad da dattawa suka dibiya maka hannayensu.
15 Do these things [that I have told] you to do! (Concentrate on them/Do them [sincerely and] wholeheartedly) in order that everyone may see that you are improving [in how you do them].
Ka kula da wadannan abubuwa. Ka himmatu a cikinsu. Domin ci gabanka ya zama sananne a idanun kowa.
16 Be careful that you [conduct] yourself well. By continuing to do that, you will save yourself. And if you continue [to teach the good] doctrine/teaching, the result of your teaching will be that [God] will save the people who listen to you.
Ka kula da kanka da kuma koyawarka. Ci gaba a cikinsu. Domin ta yin haka ne za ka ceci kanka da masu sauraronka.
