1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
PAULUJ wanporon en Iejuj Krijtuj amen pan kujoned en Kot Jaunkamaur patail o Krijtuj Iejuj, me kitail kaporoporeki,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
On Timoteuj nai jeri melel ni pojon mak o limpok, o popol jan ren Kot Jam o Krijtuj Iejuj atail Kaun.
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
Duen ai poeki re om, en mimieta Epijuj ni ai pan kola Majetonien, pwe koe en kapun on akai, ren der wia padak toror.
4 or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
Pil der kamelele kajoi mal o padok en di to to, me kareda Akamai ap jota jauja koa dodok en Kot, me tapi jan pojon.
5 The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Pwe aude pan kujoned limpok jan nan monion makelekel, o injen mau, o pojon melel.
6 Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
Jan mepukat akai muei janer, rap wuki on poupoulap.
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.
Re men wiala jaunpadak en kapun, ap jo weweki, me re inda, o me re kin men padaki kaualap.
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
A kitail aja, kapun me mau, ma amen jo kajapune.
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,
O je aja, me jota kapun en wiaui on me pun amen, a on me japun kan, o katiwo kan, o me doo jan Kot akan, o me dipan akan, o me jo jaraui kan, o me jan Kot akan, o me kin kaloke jam ar in ar, o me kamela aramaj akan.
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
O me nenek kan, o me madon jaut on ol oko, o me kin pirap aramaj akan, o me likam kan, o me kaula likam akan, o ma pil meakot mia, me jo kon on padak en kamour.
11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Duen ronamau en linan en Kot iajanai me pan don ia.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.
I ap danke Krijtuj Iejuj atail Kaun, me kotin kamane ia da o kamelel ia ni a kotin kajapwil ia dan dodok.
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.
pwe maj o nai lalaue amen, o kaloke jaulan kan, ao lolap amen, ari jo I diaradar mak o, pwe I wiadar mepukat ap jaja o ni ai jopojon.
14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
A mak en atail Kaun me lapalap alar kaualap ni pojon o limpok, me mi reh Krijtuj.
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.
Melel lepen kajoi lep, o me mau on kamelele: Krijtuj Iejuj pwara don jappa, pwen dorela me dipan akan; a nai me jued jan karoj.
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)
Ari jo, I diaradar mak o, pwe Iejuj Krijtuj en kotin kajaleda a kanonama lapalap re i, pwe men kaalemoni on me pan pojon, pwen maur joutuk. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
A nanmarki potpot, me jo kak mor pajan, o jo janjal, I Kot eta. Wau o linan en ko on I potopoteta! 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,
Kujoned wet I men pan on uk, nai jeri Timoteuj, duen deideikop akan, me wiaui on uk er, pwe ren jauaju uk, en wia pei mau eu.
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
Ni om dadauata pojon o kanakanai on injen om mau, me akai pein kaje jan irail, ap peila jan nin pojon.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
Amen irail Imenauj o amen Alekjander, me panalan Jatan, pwe ren lelapok ki kalokolok, ap jolar lalaue.
