< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope:
Une che Paolo nduna jwa Che Yesu Kilisito kwa kulajiswa ni Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu pamo ni Che Yesu Kilisito chilolelo chetu.
2 To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ngunnembela che Timoseo mwanangu jwa usyenesyene mu chikulupi. Ngummendela umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
3 As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
Ngusaka nnonjele ku Efeso mpela ila inatite pakunchondelela katema panaliji nkwaula ku Makedonia. Kweleko kwana ŵandu ŵakujiganya majiganyo ga unami nkaakanye.
4 Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
Mwasalile alekangane ngano sya unami ni moŵa gose kugatanga meena ga achambuje ŵao pangali mbesi. Yele yose ikutandisya makani. Ngaikwalimbisya ŵandu mmasengo ga Akunnungu gagakutendeka kwa litala lya chikulupi.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
Nningwa wa lyele lilajisyo uli unonyelo waukutyochela mu ntima weswela ni nkuimanyilila kuitenda yaili yambone ni chikulupi cha usyene.
6 From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
Nambo ŵandu ŵane gasoŵile gelego ni kugalauchila kuusyanausyana indu yangalimate.
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Ŵelewo akusaka aŵeje ŵakwiganya Malajisyo nambo achinsyene ngaakugamanyilila maloŵe gaakugaŵecheta atamuno indu yaakulimbila kuisala.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gali gambone, iŵaga mundu chagawone kwa litala lyalikusachilwa kugawona.
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo nganigaŵichikwa kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵambone, nambo gaŵichikwe kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵangakugajitichisya Malajisyo, ni ŵandu ŵangakwapopela Akunnungu ni ŵaali ni sambi, ni ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ni ŵakutukana ni ŵandu ŵakwaulaga atati ni achikulu ŵao ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵane.
10 For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
Malajisyo gaŵichikwe kwa ligongo lya ŵachigwagwa ni kwa achalume ŵakugonana achinsyene pe ni kwa ŵakwasumisya ŵandu kuŵa achikapolo ni kwa ŵaunami ni kwa ŵakulumbilila unami ni kwa ŵakupanganya ipanganyo yangaikulandana ni majiganyo gausyene.
11 Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
Majiganyo ga gakutyochela mu Ngani Jambone jambele Akunnungu jwangulupilile lalichile Ngani Jambone jajikutyochela kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ni ukulu ni ŵakulapikwa moŵa gose.
12 I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
Ngwatogolela Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito ŵandasile machili pa masengo gangu, pakuŵa amweni ndili jwakukulupilichika nipele ŵasagwile kuti natumichile.
13 Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Namuno kalakala naliji ngwatukana Akunnungu ni kwalagasya ŵandu ni naliji mundu jwaumenyani, Akunnungu ŵaangolele chanasa, ligongo natesile yeleyo nkuloŵela kwangu ni kwa ungamanyilila wangu ni pakuŵa nganingola chikulupi.
14 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
Ambuje ŵetu ŵambele umbone wao wejinji ni chikulupi ni unonyelo watulinawo nkulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito.
15 A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
Liloŵe li lili lyakukulupilichika ni kukundikwa, yakuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche pachilambo kukwakulupusya ŵaali ni sambi. None ndili jwa sambi kwapunda wose,
16 But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. (aiōnios )
nambo kwa lye ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵangolele chanasa. Ŵatesile yele kuti kwa litala lyangune jwa sambi kwapunda ŵandu wose, Che Yesu Kilisito akombole kulosya upililiu wao. None mme chisyasyo kwa wose uchakulupilile ni kupochela umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios )
17 Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
Sambano kwa Mwenye ŵa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nombe ŵangakuwa namose ŵangakuwoneka, ni ŵaali Akunnungu ŵajika, ŵandu wose ŵaape luchimbichimbi ni ukulu mmoŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (aiōn )
18 This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,
Mwanangu che Timoseo, ngumpa ali lilajisyo li malinga ni maloŵe gakulondola gagaŵechetekwe kalakala gankati mwe. Maloŵe go ni gachigantende nkombole kumenyana ngondo jambone,
19 Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
mpunde kukamulisya chikulupi chenu ni majiganyo ga usyene ga chikulupi ni kuitenda yaili yambone pe. Ŵandu ŵane akanile kugajitichisya majiganyo ga usyene, kwayele achijonasile chikulupi chao.
20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Mwa ŵelewo apali che Himeneyo ni che Alekisanda unajamwiche kwa kwalechela mmakono mwa Shetani kuti ajiganyikwe anaatukane Akunnungu.
