1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Njame, Paulo walakwiwa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu mukupewa mulawo ne Lesa Mupulushi wetu, ne Klistu Yesu uyo ngotwacinkamo manungo,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ndalembelenga obe Timoti mwaname mwine mwine mulushomo. Ndambangeti kwina moyo inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa ne Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu bibe nenjobe.
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
Mpondalikuya ku Makedoniya, ndalakupa malailile akwambeti wikale ku Efenso kwambeti ukanishenga bantu nabambi baleyishinga ciyisho cabwepeshi.
4 or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
Kayi ubambileti kabatatayanga cindi cabo ku tulabi twabakulukulu tulambanga sha masemano. Ibi biliya ncito bikute kuletowa kutotekeshana, nkabikute kwiyishapo sobwe, bilayandanga Lesa bikute kwishibikwa mulushomo.
5 The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
Ncondakupelenga malailile awa ni kwambeti ubayishe lusuno lwa ncinencine lulafumunga mu moyo waswepa, kayi kuba ne muntu wamukati waina ne lushomo lwa ncinencine.
6 Some have strayed from these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
Bantu nabambi balashiyi mukondo, balataiki ne kuya kuliwala mu makani abula ncito.
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.
Balayandishishinga kuba beshikwiyisha bantu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose, nomba nkabacishi ncobalambanga ne kushininkisha ico ncobaleyishinga.
8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
Afwe twashoma kwambeti Milawo yaina na muntu kaisebensesha munshila yalumbuluka.
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,
Tucishi kwambeti milawo iliya kubelako cebo ca muntu walulama, nsombi yalabelako kululamika beshi kupwaya milawo, batasuni kululamikwa, kayi batatini Lesa. Ba micito yaipa, baipa myoyo kayi batapaili, beshikushina bashali babo, bakapondo,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
bapombo, batuloba beshikona ne batuloba banabo, beshikula ne kulisha bantu, bandemishibili, beshikulumbila cabwepeshi munkuta, kayi beshi kwinsa ciliconse capusana ne ciyisho calumbuluka.
11 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Ici ciyisho cikute kucanika mu Mulumbe Waina Lesa Walemekwa welela kulumbaishiwa, uwo ngwalabika mumakasa akame.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.
Ndalumbunga Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu walampa ngofu ne kunsala kwambeti ndimusebensele, cebo ca kuba washomekwa.
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.
Nikukabeti ndalikusampula Lesa nekupensha bantu ba Lesa, nsombi Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo pakwinga paliya ncendalikwishiba nkandalikukute lushomo sobwe.
14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Nomba Mwami wetu walanyumfwila nkumbo shinene, ndalatambula lushomo ne lusuno kupitila mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
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.
Maswi akwambeti Klistu Yesu walesa pa cishi capanshi kwisa kupulusha bantu babwipishi nakubinga kayi elela kutambulwa ca makasa abili, pa bantu bonse baipa ame ndaipa kupita bonse.
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)
Nikukabeco Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo kwambeti kupitila muli njame ondaipa kupita bonse, Klistu Yesu aleshe kwikalika nkombe kwakendi, kwambeti mbe citondesho kulyabo beti bakamushome kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Lino ku Mwami wa cindi conse, utafu kayi utaboneke Lesa enka, kube bulemu ne kulumbaishiwa kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (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,
Timoti mwaname, ndakupa malailile awa kwelana ne maswi abashinshimi alambwa pali njobe, wasebensesheti byensho, kwambeti ukacikonshe kulwana nkondo yaina.
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
Kayi pitilisha kuba ne lushomo kayi miyeyo yalulama. iyo nabambi njobalanyakili pambali ibyo bilapasulu lushomo lwabo.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
Pakati pa bantu balico pali Humenayo ne Alekisandulo, bantu aba ndabapa cisubulo ne kubanyakila mu bwendeleshi bwa Satana, kwambeti bakaleke kusampula Lesa.
