1 Timotheo 1

1 An Paulo jaote Kristo Yesu kaluwore gi Chik Nyasaye ma Jawarwa, kod Kristo Yesu, ma en genowa,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is 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 own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

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 besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

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.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

5 To wach maduongʼ mar Chikni en hera mawuok e chuny maler kendo maonge bura kod yie mar adier.

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

6 Jomoko osebaro oweyo magi mi gidonjo e mbekni mag oyuma maonge tiendgi.

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

7 Gigombo mondo gibed jopuonj Chik to gikia tiend gik ma giwacho kata gik ma giwuoyo kuomgi.

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

8 Wangʼeyo ni chik ber mana ka ngʼato konyore kode e yo mowinjore.

But we know that the law is good, if a man useth 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

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 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 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 Puonjno owinjore kod Injili man-gi duongʼ mar Nyasaye mogwedhi, mane oket e lweta.

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

12 Agoyo erokamano ni Kristo Yesu Ruodhwa mosemiya teko nikech ne okwana kaka ja-adiera mi oyiera e tichne.

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

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.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man: but I obtained mercy, because I did it 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 was exceeding abundant with faith and love which 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.

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 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)

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 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 to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honour and glory for ever 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 I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies made before concerning thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;

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.

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

20 Moko kuom jogo gin Humenayo gi Aleksanda, ma aseketo e lwet Satan mondo opuonjre ni kik giyany Nyasaye.

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