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.
asmākaṁ trāṇakartturīśvarasyāsmākaṁ pratyāśābhūmeḥ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cājñānusārato yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ paulaḥ svakīyaṁ satyaṁ dharmmaputraṁ tīmathiyaṁ prati patraṁ likhati|
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.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaro'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca tvayi anugrahaṁ dayāṁ śāntiñca kuryyāstāṁ|
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.
mākidaniyādeśe mama gamanakāle tvam iphiṣanagare tiṣṭhan itaraśikṣā na grahītavyā, ananteṣūpākhyāneṣu vaṁśāvaliṣu ca yuṣmābhi rmano na niveśitavyam
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.
iti kāṁścit lokān yad upadiśeretat mayādiṣṭo'bhavaḥ, yataḥ sarvvairetai rviśvāsayukteśvarīyaniṣṭhā na jāyate kintu vivādo jāyate|
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.
upadeśasya tvabhipretaṁ phalaṁ nirmmalāntaḥkaraṇena satsaṁvedena niṣkapaṭaviśvāsena ca yuktaṁ prema|
6 Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
kecit janāśca sarvvāṇyetāni vihāya nirarthakakathānām anugamanena vipathagāmino'bhavan,
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!
yad bhāṣante yacca niścinvanti tanna budhyamānā vyavasthopadeṣṭāro bhavitum icchanti|
8 Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
sā vyavasthā yadi yogyarūpeṇa gṛhyate tarhyuttamā bhavatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
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,
aparaṁ sā vyavasthā dhārmmikasya viruddhā na bhavati kintvadhārmmiko 'vādhyo duṣṭaḥ pāpiṣṭho 'pavitro 'śuciḥ pitṛhantā mātṛhantā narahantā
10 for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
veśyāgāmī puṁmaithunī manuṣyavikretā mithyāvādī mithyāśapathakārī ca sarvveṣāmeteṣāṁ viruddhā,
11 as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
tathā saccidānandeśvarasya yo vibhavayuktaḥ susaṁvādo mayi samarpitastadanuyāyihitopadeśasya viparītaṁ yat kiñcid bhavati tadviruddhā sā vyavastheti tadgrāhiṇā jñātavyaṁ|
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.
mahyaṁ śaktidātā yo'smākaṁ prabhuḥ khrīṣṭayīśustamahaṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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.
yataḥ purā nindaka upadrāvī hiṁsakaśca bhūtvāpyahaṁ tena viśvāsyo 'manye paricārakatve nyayujye ca| tad aviśvāsācaraṇam ajñānena mayā kṛtamiti hetorahaṁ tenānukampito'bhavaṁ|
14 Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from Christ Jesus.
aparaṁ khrīṣṭe yīśau viśvāsapremabhyāṁ sahito'smatprabhoranugraho 'tīva pracuro'bhat|
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.
pāpinaḥ paritrātuṁ khrīṣṭo yīśu rjagati samavatīrṇo'bhavat, eṣā kathā viśvāsanīyā sarvvai grahaṇīyā ca|
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)
teṣāṁ pāpināṁ madhye'haṁ prathama āsaṁ kintu ye mānavā anantajīvanaprāptyarthaṁ tasmin viśvasiṣyanti teṣāṁ dṛṣṭānte mayi prathame yīśunā khrīṣṭena svakīyā kṛtsnā cirasahiṣṇutā yat prakāśyate tadarthamevāham anukampāṁ prāptavān| (aiōnios g166)
17 Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! Amen. (aiōn g165)
anādirakṣayo'dṛśyo rājā yo'dvitīyaḥ sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā cānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (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!
he putra tīmathiya tvayi yāni bhaviṣyadvākyāni purā kathitāni tadanusārād aham enamādeśaṁ tvayi samarpayāmi, tasyābhiprāyo'yaṁ yattvaṁ tai rvākyairuttamayuddhaṁ karoṣi
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.
viśvāsaṁ satsaṁvedañca dhārayasi ca| anayoḥ parityāgāt keṣāñcid viśvāsatarī bhagnābhavat|
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
humināyasikandarau teṣāṁ yau dvau janau, tau yad dharmmanindāṁ puna rna karttuṁ śikṣete tadarthaṁ mayā śayatānasya kare samarpitau|
