1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Paulu, aposteli Kristi Jesu gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà wa, àti Jesu Kristi ìrètí wa,
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sí Timotiu ọmọ mi nínú ìgbàgbọ́: Oore-ọ̀fẹ́, àánú àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa.
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,
Bí mo ṣe rọ̀ yìn nígbà tí mò ń lọ sí Makedonia, ẹ dúró ní Efesu, kí ẹ lè dá àwọn ènìyàn kan lẹ́kun láti má ṣe kọ́ ni ní ẹ̀kọ́ èké mọ́
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
kí wọ́n má sì ṣe fiyèsí àwọn ìtàn asán, àti ìtàn ìran aláìlópin. Irú èyí máa ń mú iyàn jíjà wá dípò iṣẹ́ ìríjú Ọlọ́run èyí tí í ṣe ti ìgbàgbọ́.
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
Ète àṣẹ náà ni ìfẹ́ ti ń jáde wá láti inú ọkàn mímọ́ àti ẹ̀rí ọkàn rere àti ìgbàgbọ́ àìṣẹ̀tàn.
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
Àwọn ẹlòmíràn ti yapa kúrò tí wọ́n sì yà sápá kan sí ọ̀rọ̀ asán.
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
Wọ́n ń fẹ́ ṣe olùkọ́ òfin; òye ohun tí wọ́n ń wí kò yé wọn tàbí ti ohun tí wọ́n ń fi ìgboyà tẹnumọ́.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa mọ̀ pé òfin dára, bí ènìyàn bá lò ó dáradára.
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,
Bí a ti mọ̀ pé, a kò ṣe òfin fún olódodo, bí kò ṣe fún àwọn aláìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, fún àwọn aláìmọ́ àti àwọn ẹlẹ́gàn, fún àwọn tí ń pa baba àti àwọn tí ń pa ìyá wọn àti àwọn apànìyàn,
10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
fún àwọn àgbèrè, fún àwọn aláyídà, fún àwọn onísòwò-ẹrú, fún àwọn èké, fún àwọn abúra èké, àti bí ohun mìíràn bá wà tí ó lòdì sí ẹ̀kọ́ tí ó yè kooro.
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyìnrere ti ògo Ọlọ́run olùbùkún, tí a fi sí ìtọ́jú mi.
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
Mo dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí ó fún mi ní agbára, àní Kristi Jesu Olúwa wa, nítorí tí ó kà mí sí olóòtítọ́ ní yíyànmí sí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Bí mo tilẹ̀ jẹ́ asọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run rí, àti onínúnibíni àti ìkà ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n mo rí àánú gbà, nítorí tí mo ṣe é nínú àìmọ̀ àti àìgbàgbọ́.
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa wa sì pọ̀ rékọjá pẹ̀lú ìgbàgbọ́ àti ìfẹ́, tí ń bẹ nínú Kristi Jesu.
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.
Òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó sì yẹ fún ìtẹ́wọ́gbà, pé Jesu Kristi wá sí ayé láti gba ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ là; nínú àwọn ẹni tí èmi jẹ́ búburú jùlọ.
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)
Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí èyí ni mo ṣe rí àánú gbà, pé lára mi, bí olórí ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni kí Jesu Kristi fi gbogbo ìpamọ́ra rẹ̀ hàn bí àpẹẹrẹ fún àwọn tí yóò gbà á gbọ́ sí ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun ìkẹyìn. (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)
Ǹjẹ́ fún ọba ayérayé, àìdíbàjẹ́, àìrí, Ọlọ́run kan ṣoṣo, ni ọlá àti ògo wà fún láéláé. Àmín. (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,
Àṣẹ yìí ni mo pa fún ọ, Timotiu ọmọ mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí tó ó ti ṣáájú nípa rẹ̀, pé nípasẹ̀ wọ́n kí ìwọ lè máa ja ìjà rere;
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
máa ní ìgbàgbọ́ àti ẹ̀rí ọkàn rere. Èyí ti àwọn mìíràn ti mú kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn tí wọ́n sì rí ọkàn ìgbàgbọ́ wọn.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
Nínú àwọn ẹni tí Himeneu àti Aleksanderu wà; àwọn tí mo ti fi lé Satani lọ́wọ́, kí a lè kọ́ wọn kí wọ́n má sọ̀rọ̀-òdì mọ́.
