1 Timoti 1

1 Bulu, nii tomange Almaciya Yecu ki dokka Kwama nii fulo ka be, kange Almaciya yoka nere bek.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;

2 Mulangum ki Timoti, bi bwe mi bi com mor bilenke: Luma, jireduwe, kange fuwor neret fiye Kwama kange Almaciya Yecu Tee luwe be.

To Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 Kambo ma kinong nen na mwi mani fiyaco ma yaken ti Makidoniyau, tim mwe Afisa ri namo dok kangem nobem ciya merangde kange merang kako ki dimene, wi mwer kutume ti, nyi tikanka bati Kwama, mor bilenke.

As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

4 ciya cuware tu nuwaka keti bi dange kange bwanka dike manki dika. wuro mwerkang kutume, nyi tikali bati Kwama fiye bilenke.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; [so do].

5 Dike bolangko nung tiyeu cwika mor nero wucakke kange dume wucakke kange bilenke.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:

6 Kangem nobo tiyangum ciin yilaken kelkelito bwir.

From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;

7 cii cwiti ciin yilam nob merangka bolange dila cii nyombo dike cii tok tiye kange dike cii ti dorcere.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.

8 Dila bon nyumom bolangko yorikabo tano manangen ciko nure datene ri.

But we know that the law [is] good, if a man useth it lawfully;

9 Di bon nyumom wo, bolange kebo ki nii wucakke, dila ki nobo mani bwangten werfunner, nobo ki kungka duweke kange buro mani bwangten Kwama kange nob bwirangke, kange wo man ki Kwama, kange nob dilaka, ciin ne bolangko ki nobo twal teb tiye, kange wo twal neb tiye, kange nobo twal dor tiye.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,

10 Ki nob burotum, nabarubbo dati kange nabarub kakaa natubbo dati kange natubbe, ki nobo kuu nob tiye naci ya kici canga, ki nob cwerkeb kange nob warke cwerkeb, kange gwam dike ma kiyeti kange dikero wo na keneu.

For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

11 Werfunne wo dor fullen kerer Kwama na bi bwiyerce, wo ci ne take.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 Mi bukang ti Almaciya Yecu Teluwebe. Wo neye bikwane, wori cin ciya kange mo, yoye mor nangene ce.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

13 Fiya co no min nii dilaka, nii ne dotange tiye, nii kwenang ka dila gwam kange wo cin ciyaye wori ma macwo mor kumtacili kange bwini neka bilenke.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief:

14 Dila luma Teluwe beko coru minen duce kange bilenke, kange cwika kako wo mor Almaciya Yecu.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Fulendo wo bilenke, daten yoka gwam, wo yiki Almaciya bo dor bitiner na fulo nob bwirangke. Mo nii wo ceu bwira ki dariye.

This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Wo dike bwi mafiya cire duwe, di minen, nii kaba ki nungka birom nere Yecu Almaciya. Be ci mawo ri na yilam dangke ki nobo wo ane bilenke ti cinen nafiya dume diri. (aiōnios g166)

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

17 Naweu ki liya kalewe, wo man ki bwar, yurangum yurange, Kwama wiin, Dur, duktangka nace bak ni bak. A tinyo. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Ma nenen werfunero woti munen, bi bwe mi, Timoti, dong-dong kange dugumbo ci mani dor mwereu be na mwi tem kwendo yora.

This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;

19 mawo be na yilam ki bilenke kange nero ken, kangem nob ciin ko cuwaka tu, ciin dubom bilenker ceu.

Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:

20 Nabi Himinawuc kange Ickandariya, wuro ma neken cii bwekelkele nin naci fiya mwerum kange dobka dilaka.

Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
