1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy araka ny didin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika, sy Kristy Jesosy fanantenantsika,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
mamangy an’ i Timoty, tena zanako amin’ ny finoana: fahasoavana, famindram-po, fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.
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
Toy ny nangatahako anao hitoetra any Efesosy, rehefa hankany Makedonia aho, mba handidianao ny sasany tsy hanao fampianarana hafahafa,
4 or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
na hitandrina ny anganongano sy ny tantaram-pirazanana tsy hita lany izay mahatonga ady hevitra, fa tsy mampandroso ny fitondrana araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana, dia toy izany koa no ataoko ankehitriny.
5 The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Fa ny anton’ ny didy dia fitiavana avy amin’ ny fo madio sy ny fieritreretana tsara ary ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy,
6 Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
izay nivilian’ ny sasany, ka nania ho amin’ ny taria foana izy,
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.
dia olona izay te-ho mpampiana-dalàna, kanefa tsy fantany akory izay lazainy na izay itompoany.
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
Nefa fantatsika fa tsara ny lalàna, raha entin’ ny olona araka izay antony,
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,
ka fantany fa tsy ny olona marina no nanaovana ny lalàna, fa ny mpandika lalàna sy ny maditra, dia ny tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra sy ny mpanota, ny olona tsy manaja izay masìna sy ny olona vetaveta, ny mpamono ray sy ny mpamono reny, ny mpamono olona,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
ny mpijangajanga, ny sodomita, ny mpangalatra olona, ny mpandainga, ny mpianian-tsy tò, ary na inona na inona manohitra ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema,
11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
araka ny filazantsaran’ ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra finaritra, izay natolotra ho adidiko.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.
Misaotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika aho, Izay nampahery ahy, fa nataony mahatoky aho ka notendreny ho amin’ ny fanompoana,
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.
dia izaho, izay mpiteny ratsy fahiny sady mpanenjika sy mpampahory; kanefa nahazo famindram-po aho, satria tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalana no nanaovako izany noho ny tsi-finoana.
14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Fa be indrindra ny fahasoavan’ ny Tompontsika tamin’ ny finoana sy ny fitiavana, izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
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.
Mahatoky ka tokony hekena amin’ ny fankasitrahana rehetra izao teny izao: tonga tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany Kristy Jesosy hamonjy ny mpanota, ary amin’ ireny izaho no lohany.
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)
Kanefa izao no namindrana fo tamiko, dia ny mba hasehon’ i Jesosy Kristy eo amiko, izay lohany, ny fahari-po rehetra ho fianarana ho an’ izay hino Azy hahazoana fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ary ho an’ ny Mpanjaka tsy manan-taloha, tsy mety maty, tsy hita, dia ho an’ Andriamanitra tokana ihany anie ny laza sy ny voninahitra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (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,
Izao didy izao no omeko anao, ry Timoty zanako, araka ireo faminaniana natao fahiny ny aminao ireo, mba ho entinao miady ny ady tsara ireo,
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
amin’ ny itananao ny finoana sy ny fieritreretana tsara, izay efa narian’ ny sasany, ka toy ny olona vaky sambo izy ny amin’ ny finoana;
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
naman’ ireny Hymeneo sy Aleksandro, izay natolotro ho an’ i Satana mba hofaizana tsy hiteny ratsy.
