1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Paulo, mtumwi wa Khristu Yesu mwa lamulo la Mulungu, Mpulumutsi wathu ndiponso Khristu Yesu chiyembekezo chathu.
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Kwa Timoteyo mwana wanga weniweni mʼchikhulupiriro. Chisomo, chifundo ndi mtendere zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate ndi Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu zikhale ndi iwe.
3 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
Monga ndinakupempha pamene ndinkapita ku Makedoniya, khala ku Efeso komweko kuti uletse anthu ena kuphunzitsa ziphunzitso zonyenga,
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
kapena kumangoyika mitima pa nthano zopeka ndi kufufuza za mayina a makolo awo. Zinthu zotere zimapititsa mʼtsogolo mikangano mʼmalo mwa ntchito ya Mulungu yomwe ndi ya chikhulupiriro.
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
Cholinga cha lamuloli ndi chikondi, chomwe chimachokera mu mtima woyera, chikumbumtima chabwino ndi chikhulupiriro choona.
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
Anthu ena anapatuka pa zimenezi ndipo anatsata nkhani zopanda tanthauzo.
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
Iwo amafuna kukhala aphunzitsi amalamulo, koma sadziwa zimene akunena, kapena zimene akufuna kutsimikiza.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
Tikudziwa kuti Malamulo ndi abwino ngati munthu awagwiritsa ntchito bwino.
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
Tikudziwanso kuti Malamulo sakhazikitsidwa chifukwa cha anthu olungama, koma ophwanya lamulo ndi owukira, osaopa Mulungu ndi ochimwa, wopanda chiyero ndi osapembedza; amene amapha abambo awo ndi amayi awo, kapena anthu ena.
10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
Malamulo amayikidwa chifukwa cha anthu achigololo ndi ochita zadama ndi amuna anzawo, anthu ogulitsa akapolo, abodza ndi olumbira zabodza, ndi ochita chilichonse chotsutsana ndi chiphunzitso choona.
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Chiphunzitso chimene chimagwirizana ndi Uthenga Wabwino wonena za ulemerero wa Mulungu wodala, umene Iye mwini anandisungitsa.
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
Ndikuthokoza Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu, amene anandipatsa mphamvu pa ntchitoyi. Iye ananditenga kukhala wokhulupirira, nandipatsa ntchito mu utumiki wake.
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
Ngakhale kuti kale ndinali wachipongwe, wozunza ndi wankhanza, anandichitira chifundo chifukwa ndinkachita mwaumbuli ndi mopanda chikhulupiriro.
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Chisomo cha Ambuye athu chinatsanulidwa pa ine mochuluka, pamodzi ndi chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi zimene zili mwa Khristu Yesu.
15 Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
Mawu odalirika ndi woyenera kuwavomereza kwathunthu ndi awa: Yesu Khristu anabwera pa dziko lapansi kudzapulumutsa ochimwa, ndipo mwa iwowo ine ndiye wochimwitsitsa.
16 But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ndipo pa chifukwa chimenechi, Mulungu anandichitira chifundo, kuti mwa ine, wochimwitsitsa, Khristu Yesu aonetse kuleza mtima kwake konse kuti ndikhale chitsanzo cha omwe angathe kumukhulupirira ndi kulandira moyo wosatha. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Tsopano kwa Mfumu yamuyaya, yosafa, yosaoneka, amene Iye yekha ndiye Mulungu, kukhale ulemu ndi ulemerero mpaka muyaya. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
Mwana wanga Timoteyo, ndikukupatsa langizo ili molingana ndi maulosi amene aneneri ananena za iwe. Pamene ukumbukira mawu amenewa udzatha kumenya bwino nkhondo
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
utagwiritsitsa chikhulupiriro ndi chikumbumtima chabwino. Ena anazikana zimenezi motero chikhulupiriro chawo chinawonongeka.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
Ena mwa amenewa ndi Humenayo ndi Alekisandro, amene ndinawapereka kwa Satana kuti aphunzire kusachita chipongwe Mulungu.
