1 Timoseo 4
1 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akusala pangasisa kuti moŵa ga mbesi ŵandu ŵane chaleche chikulupi chao ni kusipilikachisya mbumu syasikulambusya ni majiganyo ga masoka.
But the Spirit says positively, that in the last times certain ones will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and to the teachings of demons,
2 Majiganyo ganti yele gakujenechekwa ni ŵandu ŵa unami, ŵaati mitima jakukumbuchila kupanganya yambone jiwile mpela ila jijochekwe ni chisyano cha mooto.
speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been cauterized as to their own conscience,
3 Ŵele ŵandu wo akwiganyanga kuti ili sambi kulombela ni sooni kulya yakulya impepe. Nambo Akunnungu ŵaigumbile yele yakulya lyo kuti, ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila ŵele ni kuumanyilila usyene alyanje kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from meats, which God created for reception with thanksgiving to the faithful and to those perfectly knowing the truth.
4 Pakuŵa chili chose chachipanganyikwe ni Akunnungu chili chambone ni nganichipagwa chakukanilwa, nambo ipochelwe kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
Because every creature of God is good, and nothing rejected, being received with thanksgiving:
5 Pakuŵa kwa litala lya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwa kupopelela, kukuchitenda chindu cho chikundikwe ni Akunnungu.
for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
6 Iŵaga chimwasalile achalongo achinjetu wose malajisyo ga, chimme jwakutumichila jwambone jwa Kilisito Yesu, chinkule mu chikulupi kwa maloŵe ga chikulupi ni majiganyo ga usyene gankugakuya.
Submitting these things to the brethren, you will be a beautiful minister of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of faith, and the beautiful teaching which you have followed;
7 Nambo nnekangane ni ngano syakalakala sya unami syanganisiŵa sya Akunnungu ni syangalumbana. Nchalile nkole mbili ja kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
but reject the unsanctified and silly stories: but exercise yourself unto godliness.
8 Pakuŵa kulijongola kukuchikamusya chiilu nambo kupanganya aila yakuisaka Akunnungu kwana ukamuchisyo mu indu yose, pakuŵa ikutulanjila umi mu utame wa sambano ni waukwika wo.
For bodily exercise is profitable unto little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Ali liloŵe li lili lyakukulupilichika, sooni lyalikuŵajilwa kukundikwa ni kukulupilichika.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
10 Uwe tukusauka ni kupanganya masengo kwa kuchalila pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chetu kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi, ni ŵaali Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu wose nnopennope jwa ŵele ŵakukulupilila.
For unto this we toil and agonize, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11 Gele ni maloŵe gagakuŵajilwa kugalajisya ni kugajiganya.
Command and teach these things.
12 Nkajitichisya kuti mundu jwalijose anyosye pakuŵa ndi jwanchanda, nambo mme chisyasyo cha ŵandu ŵakukulupilila, mu uŵechete wenu ni mu lwendo lwenu ni mu unonyelo wenu ni mu chikulupi chenu ni mu utame waukwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Let no one look with contempt upon your youth; but be you an example of the faithful, in word, in deportment, in divine love, in faith, in purity.
13 Moŵa gose nlimbile kwaŵalanjila ŵandu Malembelo ga Akunnungu pangalisisa, ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ni kwiganya mpaka patiiche.
Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Nkaleka kuupanganyichisya masengo ntuuka kutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu umpochele kwa litala lya utenga wa ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni apala nkungulu wa achachekulu paŵansajichile makono.
Do not neglect the gift which is in you, which was given unto you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Nganichisye nkati gelego ni kulityosya mwasyene nkupanganya indu yose.
Be diligent in these things; give yourself wholly unto them; in order that your progress may be manifest to all.
16 Nlilolechesye inkuti pakutama ni inkuti pakwiganya. Njendelechele kutenda yeleyo kuti nkombole kulikulupusya mwasyene ni ŵelewo ŵakumpilikana wo.
Take heed to yourself and the teaching: continue in these things; for doing this you will indeed save yourself and those who hear you.
