1 Timothy 1
1 From Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the appointment of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our Hope.
Bulus, manzon Kiristi Yesu ta wurin umarnin Allah Mai Cetonmu da kuma na Yesu Kiristi begenmu,
2 To Timothy, my true Child in the Faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
Zuwa ga Timoti ɗana na gaske cikin bangaskiya. Alheri, jinƙai da kuma salama daga Allah Uba da Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu, su kasance tare da kai.
3 I beg you, as I did when I was on my way into Macedonia, to remain at Ephesus; that you may instruct certain people there not to teach new and strange doctrines,
Kamar yadda na gargaɗe ka sa’ad da zan je Makidoniya, ka zauna can Afisa domin ka umarci waɗansu mutane kada su koyar da ƙa’idodin ƙarya nan gaba
4 nor to devote their attention to legends and interminable genealogies, which tend to give rise to argument rather than to further that divine plan which is revealed in the Faith.
ko su ba da kansu ga tatsuniyoyi da ƙididdigar asali marar iyaka. Waɗannan suna kawo faɗa a maimakon aikin Allah wanda yake ta wurin bangaskiya.
5 The object of all instruction is to call forth that love which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Maƙasudin wannan umarnin dai ƙauna ce, wadda take zuwa daga zuciya mai tsabta da lamiri mai kyau da kuma sahihiyar bangaskiya.
6 And it is because they have not aimed at these things that the attention of certain people has been diverted to unprofitable subjects.
Waɗansu sun bauɗe daga waɗannan al’amura, suka koma ga maganganu marasa ma’ana.
7 They want to be Teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.
So suke su zama malaman doka, ba tare da fahimtar abin da suke faɗa ba, balle abubuwan da suke ta nacewa a kai.
8 We know, of course, that the Law is excellent, when used legitimately,
Mun san cewa doka tana da kyau in an yi amfani da ita yadda ya kamata.
9 by one who recognises that laws were not made for good men, but for the lawless and disorderly, for irreligious and wicked people, for those who are irreverent and profane, for those who ill-treat their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
Mun kuma san cewa an yi doka ba domin masu adalci ba sai dai masu tawaye, da marasa biyayya, da marasa bin Allah, da masu zunubi, da marasa tsarkaka, da masu saɓon Allah, da masu kashe iyaye maza da mata, da masu kisankai,
10 for the immoral, for people guilty of sodomy, for slave-dealers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is opposed to sound Christian teaching —
da masu zina da kuma da maza masu kwana da maza, ko mata masu kwana da mata, da masu cinikin bayi da masu ƙarya da kuma masu shaidar ƙarya, da kuma duk wani abin da ya saɓa wa sahihiyar koyarwa,
11 as is taught in the glorious Good News of the ever-blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
da take bisa ga bishara mai ɗaukaka ta Allah mai albarka, wadda ya danƙa mini.
12 I am thankful to Christ Jesus, our Lord, who has been my strength, for showing that he thought me worthy of trust by appointing me to his ministry,
Na gode wa Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu, wanda ya ba ni ƙarfi, saboda ya amince da ni, har ya sa ni aikinsa.
13 though I once used to blaspheme, and to persecute, and to insult. Yet mercy was shown me, because I acted in ignorance, while still an unbeliever;
Ko da yake a dā ni mai saɓo da mai tsanantawa da kuma mai rikici ne, aka nuna mini jinƙai saboda na yi haka cikin jahilci ne da kuma rashin bangaskiya.
14 and the loving-kindness of our Lord was boundless, and filled me with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
An zubo mini alherin Ubangijinmu a yalwace, tare da bangaskiya da ƙaunar da take cikin Kiristi Yesu.
15 How true the saying is, and worthy of the fullest acceptance, that ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’! And there is no greater sinner than I!
Ga wata magana tabbatacciya wadda ta cancanci cikakkiyar karɓa. Kiristi Yesu ya zo duniya domin ceton masu zunubi, wanda nake mafi muni a cikinsu.
16 Yet mercy was shown me for the express purpose that Christ Jesus might exhibit in my case, beyond all others, his exhaustless patience, as an example for those who were afterwards to believe on him and attain Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
Amma saboda wannan dalilin ne aka nuna mini jinƙai domin ta wurina, mafi zunubi duka, Kiristi Yesu yă iya bayyana matuƙar haƙurinsa a matsayin misali ga waɗanda za su gaskata shi su kuma sami rai madawwami. (aiōnios g166)
17 To the Immortal King, ever-living, invisible, the one God, be ascribed honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bari girma da ɗaukaka su tabbata har abada abadin ga Sarki madawwami, wanda ba ya mutuwa, wanda ba a ganinsa, wanda kuma shi ne kaɗai Allah! Amin. (aiōn g165)
18 This, then, is the charge that I lay upon you, Timothy, my Child, in accordance with what was predicted of you — Fight the good fight in the spirit of those predictions,
Timoti, ɗana, na ba ka wannan umarni bisa ga annabce-annabcen da aka yi a dā game da kai, domin ta wurin binsu ka iya yin yaƙi mai kyau,
19 with faith, and with a clear conscience; and it is because they have thrust this aside, that, as regards the Faith, some have wrecked their lives.
kana riƙe da bangaskiya da kuma lamiri mai kyau. Gama waɗansu mutane, saboda ƙin kasa kunne ga lamirinsu, suka lalatar da bangaskiyarsu.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are instances — the men whom I delivered over to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Cikinsu kuwa akwai Himenayus da Alekzanda, waɗanda na miƙa ga Shaiɗan don su horo su bar yin saɓo.
