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.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior and Christ Jesus 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 Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus 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.
As I urged you to do when I was leaving for Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you can command certain people not to teach a different doctrine.
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.
Neither should they pay attention to stories and endless genealogies. These cause arguments rather than helping the plan of God, which is by faith.
5 Ziza'ah manufa do ka i ahi sun rji ni mi kikla suron, rji ni mere didi ma grji ni janji yosuron.
Now the goal of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith.
6 Indi bari ba hu koh wa ana bina, jin kpie wa ba k'ma da nitre ruru tre.
Some people have missed the mark and have turned away from these things to foolish talk.
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.
They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or what they so confidently affirm.
8 Nakima ki toh di doka abi ma, inde iri ti du ni wu dede.
But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully.
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.
We know this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for a lawless and rebellious people, for ungodly people and sinners, and for those who are godless and profane. It is made for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for 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.
for sexually immoral people, for homosexuals, for those who kidnap people for slaves, for liars, for false witnesses, and for whatever else is against faithful instruction.
11 Umurni ahei ni tu tre Rji wo Irji ti lulu yo'u, wa ba ne amana.
This instruction is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
12 Mi gri ni Almasihu Yesu Bachi mbu wa ane gbengblen da kpa yeim ni me, ni mi du ma.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord. He strengthened me, for he considered me faithful, and he placed me into service.
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.
I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. But I received mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Naki liheri Bachimbu a grji ni mu, ni bangaskiya, ni sun wa ahei ni mi Almasihu yesu.
But the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.
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.
This message is reliable and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of these.
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 reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all patience. He did this as an example for those who would trust in him for eternal 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)
Now to the king of the ages, the immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever 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.
I am placing this command before you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that you might fight the good fight,
19 Ti wai du ka zama ni bangaskiya ni mre didima. indi bari ba kamba bubu serton da ka bangaskiya don.
holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have shipwrecked their faith.
20 Na ba Himinaeus mba iskandari wa mi vu ba no ibrji duba foro da koya bawu du ba na ti meme na.
Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I gave over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
