1 Timothy 4
1 However, the Spirit very clearly explains that in the last times some will abandon their trust in God, and will listen to deceptive spirits and beliefs that come from demons.
Lino Muuya ulaamba entanganana kuti muzyiindi ziyotobela bamwi bantu bayosiya lusyomo alimwi bakaswiilile myuuya yalweeneeno akunjiisyo zyabadayimona
2 These hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared,
mukubeja kwakuupawupa, mamvwido aabo beni kaali asizigwa.
3 tell people to not marry and not to eat certain foods made by God that should be accepted with thanks by those who trust and know the truth.
Bayokasya bantu kuti bakwatane alimwi akuyanda kuti balilesye kuzilyo Leza nzyakalenga kuti zitambulwe chakupa kulumba abaabo basyoma akuziba kasimpe.
4 Everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected but should be received with thanks,
Nkaambo choonse chilengwa chaLeza nchibotu, alimwi takwe pe chitambwidwe kakulikupa kulumba chiyokakwa.
5 since it is made sacred by the word of God and by prayer.
Nkaambo chakasalazigwa ajwi lyaLea ankombyo.
6 If you point out these things to the brothers and sisters you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus. You gain strength by trusting in the truth, and in the good teaching you've followed.
Na wabika eezi zintu kunembo lyabakwesu, uyooba mulanda mubotu wa Jesu Kkilisito. Nkaambo mulikukomezegwa amajwi alusyomo alimwi akunjiisyo mbotu nzimwakatobela.
7 Reject what is irreligious, and old wives' tales. Make sure your exercise is spiritual—
Pesi amukake twaano twanyika twakayandwa aabanakazi bapati. Aboobo, amukaliyiisye nobeni mubunaleza.
8 for while physical exercise is useful to some extent, spiritual exercise is much more useful. For “it has promise for the present life, and for the life to come.”
Nkaambo kuliyiisya kwamumubili kuli empindu nini, pesi bunaLeza bulabelesegwa kuzintu zyoonse. Kujisi chisyomezyo chabuumi bwalino alimwi akubuumi buza.
9 You can trust this saying that should be accepted by everyone.
Mulumbe ooyu ulisyomekede alimwi uleelede kutambulwa kuzwide.
10 The reason we work and do the best we can is because our hope is in the living God. He is the Savior of all people, especially of those who trust in him.
Nkaambo nkinkaako nchitubeleka akulwisya. Nkaambo tulalangilila muliLeza muumi, Mufutuli wabantu boonse, pesi ikapati wabasyomi.
11 This is what you should teach. Tell everyone to follow your instructions.
Mubululami layilila alimwi yiisya zintu eezi.
12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. Be an example to those who trust in God—in the way you speak, the kind of life you live, in love, in trust, and in purity.
Kutabi muntu uulangilila aansi bukubusi bwako. Aboobo, kulibaabo basyoma, ba chitondezyo mukwaambula, mukuchita, muluyando, mukusyoma a mubusalali.
13 Until I get there, make sure you read the Scriptures to the church, and encourage them by your speaking and teaching.
Mane do ndisike, kkala mukubala, mukulumbayizya alimwi a mukuyiisya.
14 Don't neglect the gracious gift you have that was given to you by prophetic inspiration when the church elders laid their hands on you.
Utalekeleli chipo chili mulinduwe, chakapegwa kulinduwe kwiinda muchisinsim, akubikwa maanza abapati bembungano.
15 Think carefully about these things, and dedicate yourself completely to them so that everyone can see the progress you're making.
Bamba zintu eezi. Ba mulinzizyo, kuti kuzwidilila kwako kukaboneke kubantu boonse.
16 Mind what you're doing and what you're teaching. Keep going with all of this, because as you do so you'll save both yourself and those who listen to you.
Kolibamba chakulangisisya lwako mwini akukuyiisya. Kkalilila muzintu eezi. Nkaambo mukuchita oobo, uyolifutula lwako alimwi abaabo batakaswiilizye nduwe.
