1 Korintiyawa 16
1 Yanzu game da zancen tattara gudunmuwa ga masu bi, kamar yadda na umurci ikilisiyun Galatiya, haka za ku yi.
Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
2 A ranar farko ga mako, kowannen ku ya ajiye wani abu, yana tarawa bisa ga iyawarku. Ku yi haka don in na zo ba sai an tattara ba.
Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
3 Sa'adda na zo, zan aiki duk wadanda kuka yarda da su da wasiku don su kai sakonku Urushalima.
Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
4 Sannan idan ya dace nima in tafi, sai su tafi tare da ni.
And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
5 Zan zo wurinku sa'adda na ratsa Makidoniya. Domin zan ratsa ta makidoniya.
Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
6 Meyuwa in jima a wurinku, har ma in yi damuna, domin ku taimaka mani game da tafiyata, duk inda za ni.
Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
7 Gama ba na so in yi maku gani na gajeren lokaci. Don ina so in dau lokaci tare da ku, idan Ubangiji ya yarda.
I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
8 Amma zan tsaya Afisus har ranar Fentikos.
But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
9 Gama an bude mani kofa mai fadi, kuma akwai magabta da yawa.
[I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
10 Sa'adda Timoti ya zo, ku tabbata ya sami sakewa acikinku, tun da aikin Ubangiji yake yi kamar yadda nake yi.
When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
11 Kada fa kowa ya rena shi. Ku tabbata kun sallame shi lafiya, domin ya komo gare ni, don ina duban hanyarsa tare da yan'uwa.
Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
12 Game da zancen dan'uwanmu Afollos kuwa, na karfafa shi ya ziyarce ku tare da 'yan'uwa. Sai dai baya sha'awar zuwa yanzu. Amma zai zo sa'adda lokaci ya yi.
[You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
13 Ku zauna a fadake, ku tsaya daram cikin bangaskiya, kuna nuna halin maza, ku yi karfin hali.
Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
14 Bari dukan abinda kuke yi ayi shi cikin kauna.
Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].

You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.

My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
17 Na yi farinciki da zuwan Sitefanas, da Fartunatas, da Akaikas. Sun debe mini kewarku.
I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
18 Gama sun wartsakar da ruhuna da naku kuma. Don haka, Sai ku kula da irin wadannan mutane.
They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.

The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
20 Dukan 'yan'uwa masu bi na gaishe ku. Ku gaida juna da sumba maitsarki.

Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
