1 Timoti 5
1 Kada ka tsawata wa dattijo, sai dai ka gargaɗe shi a matsayinka. Ka ɗauki samari a matsayin’yan’uwanka,
Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,
2 tsofaffin mata kuwa sai ka ce uwaye,’yan mata kuma a matsayin’yan’uwa da matuƙar tsarki.
the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters — with all purity.
3 Ka girmama gwauraye waɗanda suke cikin bukata ta ainihi.
Show consideration for widows — I mean those who are really widowed.
4 Amma in gwauruwa tana da’ya’ya ko jikoki, to, sai su fara koyon yin ayyukan addininsu ga danginsu, ta haka za su sāka wa iyayensu da kakanninsu, gama wannan yakan gamshi Allah.
but, if a widow has children or grand-children, let them learn to show proper regard for the members of their own family first, and to make some return to their parents; for that is pleasing in God’s sight.
5 Gwauruwa wadda ba ta da kowa da zai taimake ta, za tă sa zuciyarta ga Allah, tana roƙo da addu’o’i dare da rana gare shi don taimako.
As for the woman who is really widowed and left quite alone, her hopes are fixed on God, and she devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.
6 Amma gwauruwar da take zaman jin daɗi, matacciya ce tun tana da rai.
But the life of a widow who is devoted to pleasure is a living death.
7 Ka umarce su game da waɗannan abubuwa, don su kasance marasa abin zargi.
Those are the points on which you should dwell, that there may be no call for your censure.
8 In wani bai kula da danginsa ba, musamman iyalinsa na kurkusa, ya mūsunta bangaskiya ke nan, ya kuma fi marar ba da gaskiya muni.
Any one who fails to provide for his own relations, and especially for those under his own roof, has disowned the Faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Kada a lasafta gwauruwa cikin jerin gwauraye sai ta wuce shekara sittin, ta kuma yi zaman aminci ga mijinta,
A widow, when her name is added to the list, should not be less than sixty years old; she should have been a faithful wife,
10 aka kuma santa sosai saboda ayyuka masu kyau, kamar renon’ya’ya, da karɓan baƙi, tana yi wa tsarkaka hidima, tana taimakon waɗanda suke cikin wahala tana kuma ba da kanta ga yin kowane aikin mai kyau.
and be well spoken of for her kind actions. She should have brought up children, have shown hospitality to strangers, have washed the feet of her fellow Christians, have relieved those who were in distress, and devoted herself to every kind of good action.
11 Game da gwauraye masu ƙuruciya kuwa, kada ka sa su cikin wannan lissafi. Gama sa’ad da sha’awar jikinsu ta kāsa daurewa game da wa’adin da suka yi da Kiristi, sai su so yin aure.
But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry,
12 Ta haka suna jawo wa kansu hukunci, saboda sun karya alkawarinsu na farko.
and so they bring condemnation upon themselves for having broken their previous promise.
13 Ban da haka, sukan koyi zaman banza, suna zirga-zirga gida-gida. Ba kawai sun zama masu zaman banza ba, har ma sun zama masu gulma da masu shisshigi, suna faɗin abubuwan da bai kamata su faɗa ba.
And not only that, but they learn to be idle as they go about from house to house. Nor are they merely idle, but they also become gossips and busy-bodies, and talk of what they ought not.
14 Saboda haka ina ba wa gwauraye masu ƙuruciya shawara su yi aure, su sami’ya’ya, su lura da gidajensu kada kuwa su ba abokin gāba zarafin ɓata suna.
Therefore I advise young widows to marry, bear children, and attend to their homes, and so avoid giving the enemy an opportunity for scandal.
15 Waɗansu dai sun riga sun bauɗe sun bi Shaiɗan.
There are some who have already left us, to follow Satan.
16 In mace mai bi tana da gwauraye a iyalinta, ya kamata tă taimake su, kada tă bar wa ikkilisiya wannan nauyi, domin ikkilisiya ta sami zarafin taimakon gwaurayen da suke da bukata ta ainihi.
Any Christian woman, who has relations who are widows, ought to relieve them and not allow them to become a burden to the Church, so that the Church may relieve those widows who are really widowed.
17 Dattawan da suka bi da al’amuran ikkilisiya da kyau sun cancanci girmamawa ninki biyu, musamman waɗanda aikinsu wa’azi ne da kuma koyarwa.
Those Officers of the Church who fill their office well should be held deserving of especial consideration, particularly those whose work lies in preaching and teaching.
18 Gama Nassi ya ce, “Kada ka sa wa bijimi takunkumi yayinda yake sussukar hatsi,” da kuma, “Ma’aikaci ya cancanci hakkinsa.”
The words of Scripture are — ‘Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain.’ and again — ‘The worker is worth his wages.’
19 Kada ka saurari ƙara game da dattijo sai da shaidu biyu ko uku.
Do not receive a charge against an Officer of the Church, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses;
20 Amman waɗannan dattawa waɗanda suke yin zunubi kuwa sai ka kwaɓe su a gaban jama’a, don saura su ji tsoro.
but rebuke offenders publicly, so that others may take warning.
21 Na gama ka da Allah, da Kiristi Yesu, da kuma zaɓaɓɓun mala’iku, ka kiyaye waɗannan abubuwa ƙwarai da gaske, kada ka nuna bambanci.
I charge you solemnly, before God and Christ Jesus and the Chosen Angels, to carry out these directions, unswayed by prejudice, never acting with partiality.
22 Kada ka yi garajen ɗibiya hannuwa, kada kuma ka yi tarayya a cikin zunuban waɗansu. Ka kiyaye kanka da tsarki.
Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.
23 Ka daina shan ruwa kaɗai, yi amfani da ruwan inabi kaɗan saboda cikinka da kuma yawan rashin lafiyarka.
Do not continue to drink water only, but take a little wine on account of the weakness of your stomach, and your frequent ailments.
24 Zunuban waɗansu mutane a fili suke, suna shan gabansu zuwa hukunci; zunuban waɗansu kuwa sukan bi su a baya.
There are some men whose sins are conspicuous and lead on to judgment, while there are others whose sins dog their steps.
25 Haka ma ayyuka nagari a fili suke, ko ba ma a fili suke ba, ba a iya ɓoye su.
In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
