1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
Zvino Mweya anoreva zvakajeka, kuti panguva dzekupedzisira vamwe vachatsauka parutendo, vachiteerera mweya inonyengera nedzidziso dzemadhimoni,
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
paunyepedzeri hwevanoreva nhema, vakapiswa pahana dzavo pachavo nedare rinopisa,
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
vachidzivisa kuwanana nekuraira kurega kudya Mwari kwaakasika kuti kugamuchirwe nekuvonga nevanotenda uye vanoziva chokwadi.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
Nokuti chese chisikwa chaMwari chakanaka, uye hakuna chingafanira kuraswa kana chichigamuchirwa nekuvonga;
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
nokuti chinoitwa chitsvene neshoko raMwari nemunyengetero.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
Kana uchiraira hama zvinhu izvi, uchava mushumiri wakanaka waJesu Kristu, wakafundwa nemashoko erutendo needzidziso yakanaka, yaunonyatsotevera.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
Asi urambe ngano dzakaipa nedzechembere. Uzvirovedze pakunamata Mwari;
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
nokuti kurovedza muviri kunobatsira zvishoma; asi kunamata Mwari kunobatsira pazvinhu zvese, zvahune chivimbiso cheupenyu hwazvino nehwunouya.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
Shoko iri rakatendeka uye rinofanirwa nekugamuchirwa kwese.
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
Nokuti naizvozvo nesu tinoshanda nesimba, nekushorwa, nokuti tinovimba naMwari mupenyu, anova Muponesi wevanhu vese, zvikuru weavo vanotenda.
11 Command and teach these things.
Raira zvinhu izvi udzidzise.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
Kusava nemunhu anozvidza udiki hwako, asi uve muenzaniso wevanotenda pashoko, pamufambiro, parudo, pamweya, parutendo, nepautsvene.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Kusvikira ndasvika, ngwarira pakuverenga, pakuraira, nepadzidziso.
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Usashaya hanya nechipo chiri mauri, chawakapiwa kubudikidza nechiporofita pamwe nekuiswa maoko eutariri.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
Funganya pamusoro pezvinhu izvi, uve pazvinhu izvi, kuti kupfuurira mberi kwako kuonekwe kune vese.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Uzvichenjerere iwe nedzidziso. Urambire pazviri, nokuti mukuita izvi, uchazviponesa iwe pamwe nevanokunzwa.
