1 Timoti 2
1 Da farko dai, ina gargaɗe ku cewa a yi roƙe-roƙe, ana addu’o’i, ana yin addu’a a madadin waɗansu da kuma a yi godiya saboda kowane mutum
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be offered for every one,
2 da sarakuna da dukan masu mulki, domin mu zauna lafiya, rai kuma kwance, muna bin Allah sosai a cikin natsuwa.
especially for kings and all who are in high positions, in order that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in a deeply religious and reverent spirit.
3 Wannan yana da kyau, yakan kuma gamshi Allah Mai Cetonmu,
This will be good and acceptable in the eyes of God, our Saviour,
4 wanda yake so dukan mutane su sami ceto su kuma zo ga sanin gaskiya.
whose will is that every one should be saved, and attain to a full knowledge of the Truth.
5 Gama Allah ɗaya ne, matsakanci kuma ɗaya tsakanin Allah da mutane, shi ne kuwa Kiristi Yesu,
There is but one God, and one mediator between God and men — the man, Christ Jesus,
6 wanda ya ba da kansa fansa domin dukan mutane, shaidar da aka bayar a daidai lokaci.
who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all men. This must be our testimony, as opportunities present themselves;
7 Don haka ne aka sa ni mai wa’azi, da manzo kuma, gaskiya nake faɗa, ba ƙarya ba, na kuma zama malami mai koya wa al’ummai al’amarin bangaskiya da kuma na gaskiya.
and it was for this that I was myself appointed a Herald and an Apostle (I am telling the simple truth and no lie) — a Teacher of the Gentiles in the Faith and Truth.
8 Ina so maza a ko’ina su ɗaga hannuwansu masu tsarki cikin addu’a, ba tare da fushi ko faɗa ba.
My desire, then, is that it should be the custom everywhere for the men to lead the prayers, with hands reverently uplifted, avoiding heated controversy.
9 Ina kuma so mata su lura su yi wa kansu adon da ya cancanta, da rigunan da suka dace, ba da adon kitso ko sa kayan zinariya ko lu’ulu’u ko kuma tufafi masu tsada ba,
I also desire that women should adorn themselves with appropriate dress, worn quietly and modestly, and not with wreaths or gold ornaments for the hair, or pearls, or costly clothing,
10 sai dai su yi ayyuka masu kyan da suka dace da matan da suke masu bauta wa Allah.
but — as is proper for women who profess to be religious — with good actions.
11 Ya kamata mace ta riƙa koyo cikin natsuwa da cikakkiyar biyayya.
A woman should listen silently to her teachers, and show them all deference.
12 Ban ba mace izini ta koyar ko tă yi mulki a kan namiji ba; sai dai ta zauna shiru.
I do not consent to a woman’s becoming a teacher, or exercising authority over a man; she ought to be silent.
13 Gama Adamu ne aka fara halitta, sa’an nan Hawwa’u.
Adam was formed first, not Eve.
14 Ba kuma Adamu ne aka yaudara ba; macen ce aka yaudara ta kuma zama mai zunubi.
And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was entirely deceived and fell into sin.
15 Amma mata Za tă sami ceto za su sami ceto ta wurin haihuwa, in suka ci gaba cikin bangaskiya, ƙauna da kuma tsarki tare da halin sanin ya kamata.
But women will find their salvation in motherhood, if they never abandon faith, love, or holiness, and behave with modesty.
