1 Timoteyos 1

1 Anigoo Bawlos ah oo rasuulkii Ciise Masiix ku ah amarka Ilaaha Badbaadiyeheenna ah iyo Ciise Masiix oo rajadeenna ah,

[I], Paul, [am writing this letter. You know that] I am an apostle. I [represent] Christ Jesus because God and Christ Jesus commanded me to do it. God is the one who saved us, and Jesus is the one for whom we are confidently waiting [to return].

2 waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa Timoteyos oo xagga iimaanka ku ah wiilkayga runta ah. Nimco iyo naxariis iyo nabadu ha kaaga yimaadeen Ilaaha Aabbaha ah iyo Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix.

[You], Timothy, [are like] [MET] a true son [to me] because [you] trusted [in Christ after I told you about him]. [I pray/desire that] God, who is our Father, and Christ Jesus, who is our Lord, will [continue to act] kindly and mercifully to you, and [that they will give you inner] peace.

3 Sidaan kugu waaniyey markaan Makedoniya tegayay ayaan haatanna kugu waaninayaa inaad Efesos sii joogtid oo aad kuwo ku amartid inayan cilmi kale dadka barin,

[I urge you now], just like I urged you when I was going to Macedonia [province], that you remain there in Ephesus [city]. Stay there so that you may command certain persons [who teach other believers] that they not teach false [doctrines].

4 ama ayan dhegaysanin sheekooyin iyo abtirsiinyada aan dhammaadka lahayn oo keena su'aalo intay hor marin lahaayeen talada Ilaah oo rumaysadka ku jirta.

And tell people to not continually give their attention to stories [that tell about our ancestors], stories in which there are (genealogies/lists of our ancestors’ names) that [seem to be] endless. [You must command your congregation not to think that these stories are valuable], because [whenever people think] that, they [just] start arguing about things uselessly, instead of [teaching] God’s plan, which [is concerned with] what we believe (OR, which [we know because] we trust [in Christ]).

5 Laakiin amarka dhammaadkiisu waa jacayl ka soo baxa qalbi daahir ah iyo niyo wanaagsan iyo rumaysad aan labaweji lahayn.

[Teach them] to have pure desires [MTY] and [so to know that God] approves of what they do, and to sincerely believe [the true teaching]. By doing that, [they will] love [God well].

6 Waxyaalahan qaar baa seegay, oo waxay ku leexdeen hadal aan micne lahayn,

There are some people who have turned away from these true teachings. As a result, they [just] discuss what is useless.

7 oo waxay doonayaan inay noqdaan macallimiinta sharciga in kastoo ayan garanayn waxay yidhaahdaan ama waxay ku xaqiiqeeyaan.

They desire to teach the laws [that God gave to Moses], but they do not understand what they are really saying, or the things about which they (confidently speak/say that they understand well).

8 Waxaynu og nahay in sharcigu wanaagsan yahay haddii loo isticmaalo si sharciga ku qumman.

We know that the laws [that God gave to Moses are] good if people consider correctly [what God intended them for].

9 Sidaynu u og nahay, sharciga looma samayn nin xaq ah, laakiin waxaa loo sameeyey sharcilaawayaasha, iyo caasiyiinta, iyo cibaadalaawayaasha, iyo dembilayaasha, iyo kuwa aan quduuska ahayn, iyo kuwa nijaasta ah, iyo kuwa aabbahood dila, iyo kuwa hooyadood dila, iyo gacankudhiiglayaasha,

We must remember that God did not give Moses those laws in order [to condemn] righteous people. By those laws he [condemns people who act as though there were no] laws and who refuse to obey [anyone. He condemns] those who do not revere God and those who sin habitually. [By them he condemns] those who refuse to perform rituals that are pleasing to God and who show no respect for religion. [He condemns] those who murder their fathers and who murder their mothers and who murder [other] people.

10 iyo kuwa sinaysta, iyo khaniisiinta, iyo kuwa dadka xada, iyo beenlowyada, iyo kuwa beenta ku dhaarta, iyo hadday jiraan wax kaleeto oo ka gees ah cilmiga runta ah,

[He condemns] those who are sexually immoral and those who are homosexuals. [He condemns] those who kidnap/steal people [in order to make them slaves]. [He condemns] those who lie and those who promise something strongly but do not do what they promised. He condemns every other action that is contrary to our true teaching.

11 oo ah sida injiilka ammaanta Ilaaha barakada leh oo laygu ammaaneeyey.

This is what we teach people when we tell them the glorious/wonderful message about Christ that our awesome God [has revealed] and that he gave to me to teach.

12 Waxaan ku mahadnaqayaa kan xoogga i siiyey oo ah Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix, waayo, wuxuu igu tiriyey mid aamin ah intuu hawshiisa ii doortay,

I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord who enabled me to do this work, because he considered that I could be trusted. So he appointed me in order that I [would serve him].

13 in kastoo aan hore u ahaan jiray mid dadka caaya oo silciya, oo dhiba, laakiin waa la ii naxariistay, waayo, aqoonla'aan baan ku sameeyey, anigoo aan rumaysanayn.

Formerly I said evil things [about him], I caused [his people] to suffer, and I acted very cruelly toward them. But [Christ acted] in a kind way toward me since I (acted ignorantly/did not know that I was doing wrong) because I did not believe [in him].

14 Nimcada Rabbigeenna waxay aad iyo aad ula badatay rumaysadka iyo jacaylka ku jira Ciise Masiix.

Our Lord kindly did for me what I did not deserve, so that I now believe [in Christ Jesus] and I love others (OR, him) [because I belong to him].

15 Hadalkanu waa run, waana mid istaahila in la wada aqbalo, in Ciise Masiix dunida u yimid inuu badbaadiyo dembilayaasha anoo ah kan ugu daran.

[Something that all we believers] say is certainly true and is worthy for us to fully accept is that Christ Jesus came into the world in order to save sinful people [so that God would not punish them for their sins]. As for me, I [consider that I have sinned] more than all others.

16 Laakiin sababtaas daraaddeed waa la ii naxariistay in, anigoo ah kan ugu daran, Ciise Masiix iga muujiyo dulqaadashadiisa oo dhan, inaan masaal u noqdo kuwa hadda dabadeed isaga rumaysan doona inay nolol weligeed ah helaan. (aiōnios g166)

Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)

17 Boqorka daa'imiska ah, oo aan dhiman karin, oo aan la arki karin, oo ah Ilaaha keligiis ah, maamuus iyo ammaanu ha u ahaadeen weligiis iyo weligiis. Aamiin. (aiōn g165)

I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)

18 Wiilkaygii Timoteyosow, waxaan kugu ammaanaynayaa amarkan oo ah sidii waxyaalihii hore laguugu sheegay, inaad iyaga dagaal wanaagsan ku dagaallantid,

Timothy, you [are like] [MET] a son [to me]. So, (based on/in accordance with) what [someone] previously (prophesied/told what God revealed to them) about you, I am instructing you [to strongly oppose those who teach false doctrines. You should oppose them like] [MET] a soldier (fights strongly against/opposes) [those who attack his countrymen].

19 adigoo haysta iimaan iyo qalbi wanaagsan. Waxyaalahaas dadka qaarkood way iska tuureen, oo waxay iimaankooda ka dhigeen sida doonni burburtay.

Continue to believe [the true teaching] and do only what you know to be right! Remember that some people have (pushed aside/rejected) the true teaching. As a result, they no longer believe [MET] what is true.

20 Waxaana ka mid ah Humenayos iyo Aleksanderos, oo aan Shayddaan u dhiibay si ay u bartaan inayan wax caayin.

Among the ones who have done that are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I put in the hands of Satan, in order that [when Satan punishes them] they may learn not to teach wrong teaching.
