1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Paulusi, muapositola wa Chrisite Jesu kuya che intaelo ya Ireeza mu hazi wetu ni Chrisite Jesu i nsepo yetu,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kwa Timotea, mwana we niti mwi ntumelo: Chisemo, inse ni nkozo izwa kwa Ireeza Ishetu ni Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu.
3 As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines
Ubu muniba kukumbilili kuti upange hani bakukaya kwa Masedonia, wikale mwa Efese kuti uwole kuha intaelo kubamwi bantu kuti sanzi baruti intuto ingi.
4 or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
Nikusa ntekeleza kuma tangu asa mani amasika. Izi zileta kupanga inkani kuhita kutusa mulelo wa Ireeza, iri che ntumelo.
5 The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Hanu cwale ma manimani omu lao i rato lizwa kwi nkulo i chenete, kuzwilila kwi izwalo ilotu, ni kuzwililila kwi tumelo ina buniti.
6 Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
Bamwi batu baba kwangi kusika hama manimani kono baba sanduki nokutanga kuwamba zobuhafu.
7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or that which they so confidently assert.
Basaka kuba maruti womu lao, kono kaba zuwi sisi zibawamba kamba ondelelwa hateni.
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
Kono twizi kuti mulao wina hande haiba zumwi usebelisa chenswanelo
9 We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,
Mi tuzizi izi, kuti mulao kena uba pangilwa muntu yolukite, konu kubantu ba sena mulao niba kwenuheli, nibantu basena Ireeza, niba panga zivi, mi nabana ba sezi Ireeza niba fosahere. Linu uba pangilwa bana behaya bashemi bavo baba kwame nibanakazi, ni behayi.
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
nibantu bapanga zabushahi, mukwame yozumina kusandulwa mwanakazi, abo bahiba bantu nikubapanga batanga, ba pono, ipanki za mapa, mi nizintu zose zisena initi niku lwanisa intaelo.
11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Izi intaelo ziyendelela ni kanya ye linzi lifuyawile kwa Ireeza ilyo lini bahewa.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.
Nili tumela kwa Chresite Jesu iye Fumweetu. Aba ni konzi, kakuti aba ni hindi kuti ni sepahala, mi nikuni bika ha musebezi.
13 I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man; yet because I had acted in ignorance and unbelief, I was shown mercy.
Nibali nimunyazerizi, ni munyandisi nimu kwame yonyandisa. Kono niba tambuli chishemo ka kuli niba kupanga nini sezi nikusazumina.
14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Kono chisemo cha fumwangu chiba kezi kwangu ni tumelo mwi lato lina kwa Christ Jesu.
15 This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.
Ili iñusa lisepahala ni kuswanela mi nikuzuminiwa, kuti Christ Jesu aba kezi mwifasi kwiza kuhaza mu eza libi. Ime nji niwa mamani mani kwezi.
16 But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Mi keli ibaka niba hewa chisemo, kuhitiliza, Christ Jesu u wola kutondeza kuli keta kose. Aba pangi izi nili mutala kwabo basepa kwali mubuhalo bunhya. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Linu ku Mulena wakale, ya saboli, ya sabonwa, Ireeza yenke, ikute, nikanya, nikutwala kusa manu mani. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight,
Nibika iyi intaelo ha busu bwenu, Timotea, mwanangu. Nizipanga izi kuyendelela ni chipolofita chiba wambwa kwako, iri kuti kupangila kuti winjile mwindwa indotu.
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
Uzi pange izi kuti ube mwi tumelo ni izwalo ilutu. bamwi batu baba kani izi ni kumina ka kuti lye ntumelo.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
Baswana sina Imenca ni Alexandere, abo vaniva tambiki kwa Satani iri kuti valutwe kusa yefula.
