1 Timotheo 4
1 Roho Maler wacho ni e ndalo giko jomoko nowe yie mi giluw weche chunje mawuondo ji kod puonj mayoreyore mag jochiende.
NOW the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils;
2 Puonj ma kamago aa kuom jo-miriambo mawuondore, jogo ma pachgi manyiso ni gin joketho osetho mana ka gima orew gi nyinyo maliet.
men who teach lies with hypocrisy; and have their own consciences cauterised;
3 Gitamo ji mondo kik okendre, kendo gisiemogi mondo kik gicham chiemo mamoko ma Nyasaye ochiwo mondo joma oyie kendo mongʼeyo adiera okaw gi erokamano.
prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth.
4 Nikech gik moko duto ma Nyasaye ochweyo beyo, kendo ok owinjore wakwer chiemo moro amora ka wachame gi erokamano,
For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving:
5 nikech osepwodhe maler gi wach Nyasaye kod lamo.
for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 Ka ipuonjo Jowete wechegi to ibiro bedo jatich maber mar Kristo Yesu, ka idongori e adiera mar yie gi puonj mabeyo miseluwo.
If thou suggest these truths to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and sound doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 Bed mabor chuth gi sigendini manono mag piny maonge tiende to moloyo tiegri ibed molony e luoro Nyasaye.
But profane and antiquated fables reject, but exercise thyself unto godliness.
8 Nikech kata obedo ni tuke mag rieyo del konyo ji e yore moko, to luoro Nyasaye nigi gweth mathoth moloyo, en gi ohala e ngima masani kendo e ngima mabiro bende.
For bodily exercise is of little advantage, but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Ma en wach madiera mowinjore ji oyiego chuth,
This is a faithful saying, and deserving all acceptance.
10 nikech mano emomiyo watiyo matek kendo wakedo, ka waketo genowa kuom Nyasaye mangima, ma en Jawar mar ji duto, to moloyo en Jawar joma oyie.
For therefore do we labour and are exposed to abuse, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11 Chik ji ka ipuonjogi wechegi.
Announce and teach these things.
12 Kik iyie mondo ngʼato ochayi nikech pod itin, to bed ranyisi ni joma oyie kuom weche miwacho, gi gik mitimo, kod hera miherogo ji kendo kuom bedo ja-adiera kendo kuom dak e ngima maler.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be a pattern of the faithful, in discourse; in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Ket chunyi kuom somo Ndiko ne ji e lela, kendo kuom jiwo ji kendo puonjo ji nyaka chopi abi.
Till I come, apply to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Kik ijwangʼ michni mane omiyi kaka nokor kuomi chiengʼ mane jodongo oketo lwetgi kuomi.
Neglect not the gift which is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Tim gigi gi chunyi duto, kichiwori chuth mar neno ni gitimore mondo ji duto one kaka imedo dhi nyime maber e yore duto.
Let these things be thy care; be wholly devoted to them; that thy progress may be evident to all men.
16 Rit ngimani gi weche mipuonjo maber. Tim kinda kodgi mak iweyogi, nikech ka itimo kamano eka inires ngimani iwuon kaachiel gi ngima joma winjo weche mipuonjo.
Take heed unto thyself, and to thy doctrine; abide in them: for so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and those who hear thee.
