1 Timotheo 1
1 An Paulo jaote Kristo Yesu kaluwore gi Chik Nyasaye ma Jawarwa, kod Kristo Yesu, ma en genowa,
Paul, and apostle of Jesus Christ by command of God our Saviour and Jesus Christ our Hope,
2 Andikoni in Timotheo wuoda mar adier kuom yie: Ngʼwono gi kech kod kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro gi Kristo Yesu Ruodhwa obed kodu.
to Timothy, my true son in the faith; Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kaka ne anyisi mondo itim kane an e wuodha madhiyo Makedonia, adwaro mondo imed bedo Efeso nikech jomoko ni kuno mapuonjo ji puonj mag miriambo manyaka ikwergi mondo giwe timo kamano.
As I begged you when I was setting out for Macedonia, stay where you are at Ephesus, and instruct certain individuals there not to be teaching heterodoxy,
4 Bende giwe keto chunygi e sigendini manono gi sigendini mag nonro mag anywola ma ok rum. Gik ma kamagi medo mana mbaka makelo miero kar gero tich Nyasaye, ma gerore kuom yie.
nor to be paying attention to myths and interminable genealogies, which tend to promote discussions rather than a stewardship entrusted by God, a stewardship which is in faith.
5 To wach maduongʼ mar Chikni en hera mawuok e chuny maler kendo maonge bura kod yie mar adier.
Now the end of the exhortation is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and an undissembled faith.
6 Jomoko osebaro oweyo magi mi gidonjo e mbekni mag oyuma maonge tiendgi.
Some have failed here, and have turned aside to empty argument.
7 Gigombo mondo gibed jopuonj Chik to gikia tiend gik ma giwacho kata gik ma giwuoyo kuomgi.
Although they desire to be teachers of the law, they understand neither the words they use nor the subjects they talk about.
8 Wangʼeyo ni chik ber mana ka ngʼato konyore kode e yo mowinjore.
I know well that "the Law is good" if a man use it lawfully;
9 Wangʼeyo bende ni chik ok oket ni joma kare, to okete ni joketh chik gi jonjore; gi joma okia Nyasaye, kod joricho, gi joma timbegi ochido, kod joma odagi lemo; bende ni joma nego wuonegi kata minegi. Bende chikno oket ni jonek
but he must remember that the Law is not enacted for a good man, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreligious and sinful, for the godless and profane, for parricides and murderers,
10 gi jochode, kod chwo ma terore gi chwo wetegi gi joma timo ohand wasumbini gi jo-miriambo, kod joma kwongʼore kariambo chutho mondo gigweny adiera. Adier chik oket ne gimoro amora makedo gi puonj mar adier.
for the immoral, for sexual perverts, for slave dealers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,
11 Puonjno owinjore kod Injili man-gi duongʼ mar Nyasaye mogwedhi, mane oket e lweta.
as laid down in the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.
12 Agoyo erokamano ni Kristo Yesu Ruodhwa mosemiya teko nikech ne okwana kaka ja-adiera mi oyiera e tichne.
And I am thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has thus enabled me, that he accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his service,
13 Kata obedo ni chon ne awuoyo marach kuom Nyasaye kendo ne asando joma oyie ka akwiny, to nokecha nikech natimo gigo kuom kia kendo kuom bedo maonge yie.
although I had formerly been a blasphemer and a persecutor and a doer of outrage. But I obtained mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Ngʼwono mar Ruodhwa ne ool kuoma mogundho, kaachiel gi yie kod hera mayudore kuom Kristo Yesu.
And the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.
15 Wach mar adier mowinjore ji oyiego chuth en ni Kristo Yesu nobiro e piny mondo owar joricho, to an e jaricho marachie moloyo joricho duto.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners"! And there is no greater sinner than I!
16 To kuom mano Yesu Kristo nokecha an mane an jaricho ewi joricho duto, mondo onyis ngʼwonone maduongʼ maonge giko kuoma. Nodwaro mondo abed ranyisi, ne joma biro yie kuome mondo oyud ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
Yet for this very cause I obtained mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might display all his boundless patience as an illustration for those who should later believe in him, and so gain life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Opak Ruodhwa mochwere! En Ruoth ma ok tho, kendo ma ok ne. En e Nyasaye kende. Duongʼ kod pak odogne nyaka chiengʼ. Amin. (aiōn g165)
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen! (aiōn g165)
18 Timotheo wuoda, amiyi Chikni kaluwore gi weche mane okor kuomi chon. Ti kod chikni mondo iked lweny maber,
This charge then, I am laying upon you, Timothy, my son, according to the predictions formerly made concerning you. Fight the good fight in the spirit of these predictions,
19 kisiko e yie motegno ka chunyi ok ngʼadni bura kaka jaketho. Jomoko osedagi winjo bura ma chunygi ngʼadonegi kuom gik maricho ma gitimo, omiyo koro yiegi osenimo.
keeping fast hold of faith and a good conscience; which certain individuals have cast aside, and so made shipwreck of their faith.
20 Moko kuom jogo gin Humenayo gi Aleksanda, ma aseketo e lwet Satan mondo opuonjre ni kik giyany Nyasaye.
Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given over to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
