1 Timoti 1
1 Bulus, manzon Kiristi Yesu ta wurin umarnin Allah Mai Cetonmu da kuma na Yesu Kiristi begenmu,
This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who is 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.
I'm sending it to you Timothy. You are my true son because of your trust in God. May you have grace, mercy, and peace 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 way to Macedonia I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus, so that you could speak with those who teach false ideas and insist that they stop.
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.
They shouldn't concern themselves with legends and never-ending obsessions about ancestry. Such ideas only lead to pointless debates, instead of understanding God as we trust in him.
5 Maƙasudin wannan umarnin dai ƙauna ce, wadda take zuwa daga zuciya mai tsabta da lamiri mai kyau da kuma sahihiyar bangaskiya.
The reason why I insist on this is so we may have love that comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and sincere trust in God.
6 Waɗansu sun bauɗe daga waɗannan al’amura, suka koma ga maganganu marasa ma’ana.
Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
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 have ambitions to be teachers of the law, but they have no idea what they're talking about or what they're so boldly announcing!
8 Mun san cewa doka tana da kyau in an yi amfani da ita yadda ya kamata.
Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
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,
We also know that law isn't laid down for those who do what is good and right, but for those who are rebellious and ignore the law. It applies to people who have no use for God, who are sinful, who treat nothing as holy and are completely irreligious. It's for those who kill fathers and 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,
for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
11 da take bisa ga bishara mai ɗaukaka ta Allah mai albarka, wadda ya danƙa mini.
as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
12 Na gode wa Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu, wanda ya ba ni ƙarfi, saboda ya amince da ni, har ya sa ni aikinsa.
I'm just so grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord for the strength he's given me, and that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to work for him.
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.
Even though I used to insult God, and persecuted and abused God's people, God showed me mercy because of my ignorance and unbelief.
14 An zubo mini alherin Ubangijinmu a yalwace, tare da bangaskiya da ƙaunar da take cikin Kiristi Yesu.
Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from 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.
You can trust this saying that everyone should accept: “Christ Jesus came to this world to save sinners,” and I'm the worst of them.
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)
For this reason I was shown mercy—since I'm the worst sinner, Jesus Christ could demonstrate his infinite patience as an example to those who choose to trust in him and gain eternal life. (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)
Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! 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,
These are the instructions I want to give to you, Timothy, my son, following the prophecies that brought you this far, so you can fight 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.
Keep on trusting God and make sure you have a clear conscience. Some have refused to do this and have shipwrecked their trust in God.
20 Cikinsu kuwa akwai Himenayus da Alekzanda, waɗanda na miƙa ga Shaiɗan don su horo su bar yin saɓo.
Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
