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.
Nísinsin yìí, èmi ń tẹnumọ́ ọ́ pé ní ìgbà ìkẹyìn àwọn mìíràn yóò kúrò nínú ìgbàgbọ́, wọn yóò máa fiyèsí àwọn ẹ̀mí tí ń tannijẹ, àti ẹ̀kọ́ àwọn ẹ̀mí èṣù.
2 These hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared,
Nípa àgàbàgebè àwọn tí ń ṣèké, àwọn tí ọkàn tìkára wọn dàbí èyí tí a fi irin gbígbóná jó.
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.
Àwọn tí ń dánilẹ́kun láti gbéyàwó tiwọn si ń pàṣẹ láti ka èèwọ̀ oúnjẹ ti Ọlọ́run ti dá fún ìtẹ́wọ́gbà pẹ̀lú ọpẹ́ àwọn onígbàgbọ́ àti àwọn ti ó mọ òtítọ́.
4 Everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected but should be received with thanks,
Nítorí gbogbo ohun ti Ọlọ́run dá ni ó dára, kò sí ọkàn tí ó yẹ kí a kọ̀, bí a bá fi ọpẹ́ gbà á.
5 since it is made sacred by the word of God and by prayer.
Nítorí tí a fi ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run àti àdúrà yà sí mímọ́.
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.
Bí ìwọ bá ń rán àwọn ará létí nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ìwọ ó jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rere ti Kristi Jesu, tí a fi ọ̀rọ̀ ìgbàgbọ́ àti ẹ̀kọ́ rere bọ́, èyí ti ìwọ ti ń tẹ̀lé.
7 Reject what is irreligious, and old wives' tales. Make sure your exercise is spiritual—
Ṣùgbọ́n kọ ọ̀rọ̀ asán àti ìtàn àwọn àgbà obìnrin, sì máa tọ́ ara rẹ sí ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run.
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.”
Nítorí ṣíṣe eré-ìdárayá ni èrè fún ohun díẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run ni èrè fún ohun gbogbo, ó ní ìlérí ti ìgbé ayé ìsinsin yìí àti ti èyí tí ń bọ̀.
9 You can trust this saying that should be accepted by everyone.
Òtítọ́ ni ọ̀rọ̀ náà, ó sì yẹ fún ìtẹ́wọ́gbà gbogbo.
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.
Nítorí fún èyí ni àwa ń ṣe làálàá tí a sì ń jìjàkadì, nítorí àwa ní ìrètí nínú Ọlọ́run alààyè, ẹni tí í ṣe Olùgbàlà gbogbo ènìyàn, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ti àwọn ti ó gbàgbọ́.
11 This is what you should teach. Tell everyone to follow your instructions.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni kí ó máa paláṣẹ kí ó máa kọ́ni.
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.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni gan ìgbà èwe rẹ; ṣùgbọ́n kì ìwọ jẹ́ àpẹẹrẹ fún àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́, nínú ọ̀rọ̀, nínú ìwà híhù, nínú ìfẹ́, nínú ẹ̀mí, nínú ìgbàgbọ́, nínú ìwà mímọ́.
13 Until I get there, make sure you read the Scriptures to the church, and encourage them by your speaking and teaching.
Títí èmi ó fi dé, máa fiyèsí kíkàwé àti ìgbaniníyànjú àti ìkọ́ni.
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.
Má ṣe àìnání ẹ̀bùn tí ń bẹ lára rẹ, èyí tí a fi fún ọ nípa ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìgbọ́wọ́lé àwọn alàgbà.
15 Think carefully about these things, and dedicate yourself completely to them so that everyone can see the progress you're making.
Máa fiyèsí nǹkan wọ̀nyí; fi ara rẹ fún wọn pátápátá; kí ìlọsíwájú rẹ lè hàn gbangba fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
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.
Máa ṣe ìtọ́jú ará rẹ àti ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ; máa dúró láìyẹsẹ̀ nínú nǹkan wọ̀nyí; nítorí ní ṣíṣe èyí, ìwọ ó gba ara rẹ àti tí àwọn ti ń gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ là.
