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,
Na Paora, na te apotoro a Ihu Karaiti, he mea whakarite e te Atua, e to tatou Kaiwhakaora, e Ihu Karaiti hoki, ko ia ta tatou e tumanako atu nei;
2 to Timothy, a genuine child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti pono i roto i te whakapono: kia tau atu te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.
3 As I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,
I whakahau atu ra ahau ki a koe, i ahau e haere ana ki Makeronia, kia noho koe i Epeha, ako ai i etahi kia kaua e rere ke te whakaako,
4 nor to heed myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than stewardship of God in faith.
Kia kaua e whakarongo ki nga korero tito noa, ki nga whakapapa tupuna kahore nei e whai mutunga; ko nga putanga ake o ena, he tautohetohe, kahore he whakatupu mo te tikanga a te Atua i runga i te whakapono; ka pera ano ahau inaianei.
5 But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.
Ko te tukunga iho ia mo te ako, ko te aroha, no roto i te ngakau ma, i te hinengaro pai, i te whakapono tinihangakore.
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to empty talk,
Kapea ake enei e etahi, kotiti ke ana ki nga korero teka noa;
7 desiring to be law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.
Ki ta ratou hei kaiwhakaako ratou i te ture, heoi kahore e matau ki ta ratou e korero nei, ki nga mea ranei e kauwhautia nei e ratou.
8 But we know that the law is good, if any man uses it lawfully,
Otira, e matau ana tatou he mea pai te ture, ki te rite te meatanga e te tangata ki ta te ture tikanga;
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,
E matau ana hoki ki tenei, kihai te ture i whakatakotoria mo te tangata tika, engari mo te hunga turekore, tutu, karakiakore, hara, tapukore, whakarihariha, mo nga kaipatu i nga papa, mo nga kaipatu i nga whaea, mo nga kaikohuru tangata,
10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine
Mo te hunga moepuku, moe kino i te tane, tahae tangata, korero teka, oati teka, a ki te mea tera atu tetahi mea kahore nei e rite ki te whakaako tika;
11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.
Rite tonu tenei ki te rongopai o te kororia o te Atua hari, ki te mea kua tukua mai nei ki ahau.
12 And I have gratitude to the Christ-Jesus our Lord-who empowered me, because he considered me faithful, having placed in service
E whakawhetai atu nei ahau ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki to tatou Ariki, nana nei ahau i whakakaha; i whakaaro hoki ia he tangata pono ahau, a meinga ana ahau hei minita;
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.
Ahau nei, te tangata kohukohu i mua, te kaiwhakatoi, whakatupu kino: heoi i tohungia ahau, no te mea i meinga kuwaretia e ahau i runga i te whakaponokore:
14 And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Tino nui rawa hoki te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, hui tahi ki te whakapono, ki te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
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.
He pono te korero, he pai hoki kia tangohia rawatia, I haere mai a Karaiti Ihu ki te ao ki te whakaora i te hunga hara; ko te tino tangata hara o ratou ko ahau.
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)
Heoi na konei ahau i tohungia ai, kia ai ko ahau ki mua hei whakaaturanga ma Ihu Karaiti i nga manawanui maha, hei tohu ki te hunga e whakapono ki a ia a muri ake nei, kia ora tonu ai ratou. (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)
Na, ki te Kingi ora tonu, e kore nei e pirau, e kore nei e kitea, ko ia nei anake te Atua matau, waiho atu i a ia te honore me te kororia ake ake. Amine. (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.
Ka tukua atu nei e ahau tenei kupu ako ki a koe, e taku tamaiti, e Timoti, ko te poropititanga ano tenei i puta mai i mua mou, hei mea i a koe kia whawhai i te whawhai pai;
19 Holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, made shipwreck about the faith,
Kia mau ki te whakapono me te hinengaro pai; he mea nei ena kua akiritia atu e etahi, ka meinga to ratou whakapono he kaipuke pakaru:
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
No ratou a Haimeniu raua ko Arehanera, kua tukua nei e ahau ki a Hatana, kia whakaakona ai kia kaua e kohukohu.
