1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to a commandment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go Paulo, morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o rometsweng ke Mmoloki wa rona le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona, yo e leng ene fela tsholofelo ya rona.
2 to Timothy, a genuine child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Lo ya kwa go! Timotheo. Timotheo o ntse jaaka morwaake mo dilong tsa Modimo. A Modimo Rraa rona le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona a go bontshe tshiamo ya gagwe le kutlwelobotlhoko mme a go neye kagiso e kgolo ya pelo le mogopolo.
3 As I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,
Jaaka ke buile fa ke ya Masedonia, tswee-tswee nna koo mo Efeso o leke go kganela batho ba ba rutang thuto e e sa siamang. Khutlisa ditlhamane tsa bone, le dinaane tsa bone le mogopolo wa bone wa go bolokwa ka go bona kutlwelo botlhoko ka tlhatlologano ya baengele go fitlha kwa Modimong, megopolo ya sephologolo e e tsosang dipotso le dikganetsanyo boemong jwa go thusa batho go amogela leano la Modimo la tumelo.
4 nor to heed myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than stewardship of God in faith.
5 But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.
Se ke se tlhwaafaletseng ke gore Bakeresete botlhe koo ba tlale lorato lo lo tswang mo dipelong tse di itshekileng, le gore megopolo ya bone e nne phepa le tumelo ya bone e nonofe.
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to empty talk,
Mme baruti ba, ba tlhokomologile mogopolo o otlhe, ba bo ba senya nako ya bone mo dikganetsanyong le go bua ka boeleele.
7 desiring to be law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.
Ba batla go nna baruti ba melao ya ga Moshe ntswa ba sena mogopolo o o tlhomameng wa gore melao eo tota e re supegetsa eng.
8 But we know that the law is good, if any man uses it lawfully,
Melao eo e siame fa e dirisiwa jaaka Modimo o ratile.
9 knowing this, that law is not laid down for righteous men, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreverent and sinful, for the impious and profane, for father killers and mother killers, for man killers,
Mme ga e a direlwa rona, ba Modimo o re bolokileng; ke ya baleofi ba ba ilang Modimo, ba ba dipelo di tsuololang, ba ba hutsang ba tlhapatsa, ba tlhasela borraabo le bommaabo ba bo ba bolaya batho.
10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine
Ee, melao e e diretswe go supa baleofi botlhe ba ba makgapha le ba ba itshekologileng! Ba ba robalanang le banna ba bangwe, bautswi ba batho, baaki le botlhe ba ba dirang dilo tse di kgatlhanong le Mafoko a a Molemo a a galalelang a Modimo wa rona, o ke leng morongwa wa One.
11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.
12 And I have gratitude to the Christ-Jesus our Lord-who empowered me, because he considered me faithful, having placed in service
Ke leboga Morena wa rona Keresete jang ka go ntlhopha mongwe wa barongwa ba gagwe, le go nnaya thata ya go nna boikanyo mo go ene,
13 the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.
le fa ke ne ke tle ke tlhapatse leina la ga Keresete. Ke ne ke tsoma batho ba gagwe, ke ba utlwisa botlhoko ka tsela nngwe le nngwe e ke neng ke ka e kgona. Mme Modimo wa nkutlwela botlhoko gonne ke ne ke sa itse se ke neng ke se dira, gonne ke ne ke sa itse Keresete ka nako eo.
14 And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Oo! Morena wa rona o ne a le pelotlhomogi go le kae, gonne o ntshupegeditse gore ke ka mo ikanya jang le go nna lorato lo lo tletseng lwa ga Jesu Keresete.
15 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.
Kana go boammaaruri jang, ebile ke tlhwaafalela jang gore mongwe le mongwe a bo a itse, gore Jesu Keresete o tletse mo lefatsheng go boloka baleofi, mme ke ne ke le mogolo mo go bone botlhe.
16 But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Mme Modimo o nkutlwetse botlhoko gore Jesu Keresete a ntirise jaaka sekao go supegetsa mongwe le mongwe gore o pelotelele go le kae le e leng mo baleofing ba bagolo, gore ba bangwe ba tle ba lemoge gore, le bone, ba ka nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
A kgalalelo le tlotlo di nne go Modimo ka metlha le metlha. Ke kgosi ya dingwagangwaga, e e sa bonweng, e e sa sweng; ene ka esi ke Modimo, ebile o tletse botlhale Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This command I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies leading the way for thee, so that by them thou might war the good warfare.
Jaanong Timotheo, morwaaka, se ke taolo ya me mo go wena: tlhabana sentle mo dintweng tsa Morena, fela jaaka Morena a re boleletse ka baporofiti ba gagwe gore o tlaa dira.
19 Holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, made shipwreck about the faith,
Ngaparela tumelo ya gago thata mo go Keresete mme ka nako tsotlhe a segakolodi sa gago se nne se le phepa, o dira se o itseng gore se siame. Gonne batho ba bangwe ba tlhokile kutlo mo digakoloding tsa bone, mme ba dira ka bomo tse ba itsileng gore ga di a siama. Ga go hakgamatse gore erile ka bofefo ba latlhegelwa ke tumelo ya bone mo go Keresete ba sena go nyatsa Modimo jalo.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
Humenaio le Alekesenda ke dikai tse pedi tsa sone se, ke ne ka ba neela Satane go ba otlhaya go fitlhelela ba ithuta go sa tlhabiseng leina la ga Keresete ditlhong.
