1 Timothy 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who is our hope.
Neni Paulu ntumintumi gwa Kristu Yesu kwa lilagaliru lya Mlungu Mlopoziya gwetu na Kristu Yesu litumbiru lyetu.
2 I'm sending it to you Timothy. You are my true son because of your trust in God. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nukulembera Timotewu yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru. Mlungu Tati gwetu na Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu kakupanani gwenga manemu ga Mlungu na lusungu na ponga.
3 When I was on my way to Macedonia I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus, so that you could speak with those who teach false ideas and insist that they stop.
Gulikali aku Efesu, handa ntambu yanukuluwiti nentu panweriti nankugenda Makedoniya. Na aku guwaleweleri wantu walii yawafunda mafundu ga mpayu.
4 They shouldn't concern themselves with legends and never-ending obsessions about ancestry. Such ideas only lead to pointless debates, instead of understanding God as we trust in him.
Guwagambiri nawakolerana na tambu hera za kupaya pamuhera na kuvimana matawu ga wambuyi yagahera upeleru. Na kugamana matawu gavuwa ga wambuyi, geni gajega likakatala hera, pota kuwanyawa wantu mulihengu lya Mlungu lyalimanika kwa njimiru.
5 The reason why I insist on this is so we may have love that comes from a pure heart, from a clear conscience and sincere trust in God.
Nfiru ya amuli ayi ndo mafiliru yagalawa munjimiru iherepa na kufira kusyagula gaherepa na moyu gwa gwehera vidoda.
6 Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
Wantu wamu waleka njira kwa kugaleka aga na kuvigendera vitwatira vyavifaa ndiri.
7 They have ambitions to be teachers of the law, but they have no idea what they're talking about or what they're so boldly announcing!
Womberi wafira waweri wafunda wa Malagaliru ga Musa, kumbiti wavimana ndiri shawatakula ama galii gawagolokera.
8 Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
Tuvimana handa Malagaliru ga Musa gaherepa, handa pakagatendera ntambu yaifiruwa.
9 We also know that law isn't laid down for those who do what is good and right, but for those who are rebellious and ignore the law. It applies to people who have no use for God, who are sinful, who treat nothing as holy and are completely irreligious. It's for those who kill fathers and mothers, for murderers,
Ntambu iraayi gufiruwa kulihola handa Malagaliru ga Musa gatulwa ndiri toziya ya wantu waheri, kumbiti gatulwa toziya ya wantu yawamega malagaliru ga Musa na wantu yawajimira ndiri na wantu yawamtira ndiri Mlungu na wana vidoda na wantu wananagala ndiri na yawamana ndiri njira ya Mlungu na wantu yawawalaga wamawu na watati wawu ama walaga woseri walii.
10 for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
Malagaliru ga Musa gatulwa toziya ya wahumba na wapalu yawaligonja weni kwa weni na yawashuwuza wantu na yawapaya na yawalilapira kwa upaya ama yawatenda shoseri sha kugenderana ndiri na mafundu ga nakaka.
11 as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
Mafundu aga gapatikana Mushisoweru Shiwagira sha ukwisa wa Mlungu yakawera na matekeleru, ndogeni gampananitwi neni mpati kushibwera.
12 I'm just so grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord for the strength he's given me, and that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to work for him.
Mayagashii Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu yakampananiti makakala, toziya ya lihengu lyangu. Nongamayagashi kwa kumona neni ndo mwaminika, kansyaguliti numtenderi.
13 Even though I used to insult God, and persecuted and abused God's people, God showed me mercy because of my ignorance and unbelief.
Makashu neni nweriti mwigiranga na mtabisiya na ndenditi ndewu, kumbiti Mlungu kamonera lusungu toziya nweriti ndiri na moyu, hangu nuvimaniti ndiri shanweriti nankutenda.
14 Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from Christ Jesus.
Na Mtuwa gwetu kamupananiti manemu gakuwi gavuwa, kamupananiti njimiru na mafiliru gatuwera naga kwa mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
15 You can trust this saying that everyone should accept: “Christ Jesus came to this world to save sinners,” and I'm the worst of them.
Utakula awu wanakaka nentu na ufaa kujimilwa, Kristu Yesu kiziti pasipanu kuwalopoziya wantu yawatenda vidoda. Naneni nanavidoda nentu ya woseri,
16 For this reason I was shown mercy—since I'm the worst sinner, Jesus Christ could demonstrate his infinite patience as an example to those who choose to trust in him and gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Kumbiti Mlungu kamoniriti lusungu neni nweriti nana vidoda nentu ya woseri su Kristu Yesu kalanguziyi uhepera wakuwi woseri kwa neni, handa shilanguziwu kwa walii woseri hawamjimiri shapakanu na kwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
17 Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Vinu kwa Mfalumi gwa mashaka goseri, yakaweza ndiri kuhowa na yakawoneka ndiri, Mlungu gwa gweka, su na iweri ligoya na ukwisa mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
18 These are the instructions I want to give to you, Timothy, my son, following the prophecies that brought you this far, so you can fight the good fight!
Mwanagwangu Timotewu, nukupanana lilagaliru ali toziya ya visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu vyavikutakulira gwenga pamakashu. Guvitendi visoweru avi su guwezi kulikomanga ngondu iyerepa ya kulikomanga na ukondola,
19 Keep on trusting God and make sure you have a clear conscience. Some have refused to do this and have shipwrecked their trust in God.
Na gukamuli weri njimiru yaku na kuwera muntu wa kusyagula na kutenda yagawera gaherepa. Wantu wamonga waleka kutenda aga ata waguhalibiziya moyu gwawu.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
Pakati pawu Himenayu na Alekizanda, ndoweni nuwapanani kwa Shetani, su wavimani nawamwigilanga Mlungu kayi.
