1 Timoti 1
1 Bulus, manzon Kiristi Yesu ta wurin umarnin Allah Mai Cetonmu da kuma na Yesu Kiristi begenmu,
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:
2 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.
To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 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
When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching
4 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.
and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.
5 Maƙasudin wannan umarnin dai ƙauna ce, wadda take zuwa daga zuciya mai tsabta da lamiri mai kyau da kuma sahihiyar bangaskiya.
But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.
6 Waɗansu sun bauɗe daga waɗannan al’amura, suka koma ga maganganu marasa ma’ana.
From these some have drifted away, and have wandered into empty words.
7 So suke su zama malaman doka, ba tare da fahimtar abin da suke faɗa ba, balle abubuwan da suke ta nacewa a kai.
They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.
8 Mun san cewa doka tana da kyau in an yi amfani da ita yadda ya kamata.
Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,
9 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,
and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,
10 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,
fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
11 da take bisa ga bishara mai ɗaukaka ta Allah mai albarka, wadda ya danƙa mini.
and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
12 Na gode wa Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu, wanda ya ba ni ƙarfi, saboda ya amince da ni, har ya sa ni aikinsa.
I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has put me into His service,
13 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.
though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed;
14 An zubo mini alherin Ubangijinmu a yalwace, tare da bangaskiya da ƙaunar da take cikin Kiristi Yesu.
and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Ga wata magana tabbatacciya wadda ta cancanci cikakkiyar karɓa. Kiristi Yesu ya zo duniya domin ceton masu zunubi, wanda nake mafi muni a cikinsu.
Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.
16 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)
But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
17 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)
Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 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,
This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,
19 kana riƙe da bangaskiya da kuma lamiri mai kyau. Gama waɗansu mutane, saboda ƙin kasa kunne ga lamirinsu, suka lalatar da bangaskiyarsu.
holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
20 Cikinsu kuwa akwai Himenayus da Alekzanda, waɗanda na miƙa ga Shaiɗan don su horo su bar yin saɓo.
Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
