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 Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is 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, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ 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 besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other 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 give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

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 end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of a sincere faith:

6 Indi bari ba hu koh wa ana bina, jin kpie wa ba k'ma da nitre ruru tre.

From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain talking;

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.

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

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 manslayers,

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 immoral men, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

11 Umurni ahei ni tu tre Rji wo Irji ti lulu yo'u, wa ba ne amana.

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

12 Mi gri ni Almasihu Yesu Bachi mbu wa ane gbengblen da kpa yeim ni me, ni mi du ma.

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

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 was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Naki liheri Bachimbu a grji ni mu, ni bangaskiya, ni sun wa ahei ni mi Almasihu yesu.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which 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 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 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)

However for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him to life everlasting. (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 eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, 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 charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies made before concerning thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;

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; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

20 Na ba Himinaeus mba iskandari wa mi vu ba no ibrji duba foro da koya bawu du ba na ti meme na.

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