1 Timotawus 1
1 Shawulu ndi u ton duu Kristi Yesu ni tu tre u Rji wa kpa ta chu wrohni Kristi Yesu ni you suron.
PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha our hope;
2 Hi ni Timotawus janji vre u kpayeim. Alheri, jinkai ni sun si rji ni Rji Iti ni Kristi Yesu Bachi mbu.
to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.
3 Na ki ma misi hla wu chachu'u du wu ti, misi hi ni makidoniya, wu ka kukrie ni Afisa, dan di hla ni ndi ba du bana tsro ba tre ri kan na.
I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines,
4 Du ndi ba na wu toh mba ni bubu wo cholonchon wa bana kle na. iri kima ani ji sen yieu ye, nakima ka zo tie u Rrji u jaji.
nor throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end, (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha.
5 Ziza'ah manufa do ka i ahi sun rji ni mi kikla suron, rji ni mere didi ma grji ni janji yosuron.
But the end of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.
6 Indi bari ba hu koh wa ana bina, jin kpie wa ba k'ma da nitre ruru tre.
And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,
7 Ba son ba kam ti bi bla tre u tron naki bana toh kpie wa ba tre na, ka kpe wa ba kukire ni tuma na.
seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.
8 Nakima ki toh di doka abi ma, inde iri ti du ni wu dede.
But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law converse in it;
9 Ki toh na idi bana yo doka nitu ndi bi klu sisri Rji na, sei de bi wa bana klu sisiri Rji na baba yan tawaye, na ndi wa bana hu Rji na baba bi lah tre, ni bi wa bana hei ni Rji na, ni, bi meme, ni bi wa ba wu ba timba baba ba yiwa, baba bi wundi.
knowing that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers,
10 Don bi fasikanci baba bi hu lilon ni lilon ba kru ni kpamba ni bi yib ndi da duba kani ti gran, ni bi ti ce, ni bi shaida zur ni kpie wa ana kpa yeimi ni kpie didi na.
and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath
11 Umurni ahei ni tu tre Rji wo Irji ti lulu yo'u, wa ba ne amana.
and whatever (else) is opposed to the healthful doctrine of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.
12 Mi gri ni Almasihu Yesu Bachi mbu wa ane gbengblen da kpa yeim ni me, ni mi du ma.
And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister; me,
13 Mi na hei na kima, ndi u lah tre ni 'u' tsanata, ni 'u' tawaye, nakima mi lo Rji suron wa yi jinkai ni mu don mi ti ba di na toh na di na hei ni bangaskiya na.
who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.
14 Naki liheri Bachimbu a grji ni mu, ni bangaskiya, ni sun wa ahei ni mi Almasihu yesu.
But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.
15 Itrea ajaji tre wa ko hgan ni kpa yeim di Yesu Almasihu ye ni mi gbugbulu da kpa bi lah tre chuwo, nimi mba kwa i me mi ti meme zah ba.
Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.
16 Nakima me mi kpa jinkai don ni tumu, me mi'u mumladu ba tsro vu suron Yesu Almasihu. A ti naki du me mi zama kpei u tsro ni bi wa ba kpa yeim ni Irji u sisei ni sei. (aiōnios g166)
But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Zizan gye chu'u gbugbulu wa ana kwiu na, a hei riri Irji iriri nikon ni daukaka ba hi uma seisei ni sei. Amin (aiōn g165)
But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Mi ban doka zi ni wu ivre mu Timotawus na di bana hla ni tume; du ka ri ni mi taku u didima.
This commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare with faith and with a good conscience.
19 Ti wai du ka zama ni bangaskiya ni mre didima. indi bari ba kamba bubu serton da ka bangaskiya don.
For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;
20 Na ba Himinaeus mba iskandari wa mi vu ba no ibrji duba foro da koya bawu du ba na ti meme na.
as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.
