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.
Paulo, usukhya va Yeesu Kilisiti uholehana ni ndagelo ncha Nguluve UYeesu Klilisiti uyavile nyalyekasyo hyolyofe.
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.
hya Timotheo umanango uvayelyeli khulwedkho uluhungo, Ulyesayo ne amani nchincho nchi homana Nguluve Udaada Uyesu Kilisiti Untwa veto.
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.
Ponehahusisitisye vunihega uhuluta humakedonia, usigale kho Efeso powesye ukuvasisitesya nohuva mulesya avanu fulani vafundesiwe amofundesyo gagosagahyanine.
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.
Vasite uhupolehencha ihadisi nihadisi ne uloza ncha nasaba nchincho mwisuo. Ago gugisababisya amabishanonuzaidi nukuvatanga okholuta elatiba ya U Nguluve va lyedeho.
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.
Nilengo lya lolagelo ile ulugano luhamana numbula enonu, khinia enonu nulyedeho ulyalyeli.
6 Some have deviated from these things, and have ended up talking nonsense.
Avanu valekosekhinche elimenyu vagalehele amafundisyo aga vavehile ukhochova ekhepumbafu.
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!
Vinogwa ukhota vamanyesi va ululagelo, ulwakhuva savahemanyile ekhevichova au ekhevisisitesya.
8 Now we recognize that the law is good if people use it properly.
tulumanyile uhota ululagelo ulunonu kama umunu itiumela khovo sahihi.
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,
TUlumanyile ukhuta, ululagelo ulu sayehatongingiwe khu munu unyawolyeli khuvavo videnya ululagelo nuvovivi avanu davosio vavalanche avalevovole u Nguluve nimbivi yetungiwe huvabudu avibuda hava odaada yawo vavaninawo ava vobudi.
10 for those who are sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, false witnesses—and anything else that's opposed to good teachings
Khombombo yavaligu, khombombo ya vanu amalaya navavo visiwa avanu vikhovavomba vasukhwa, khombombo ya vadesi, khombombo ya wasaidiwa vodesi, yeyeyoni uyovile hosana ni ndagelo uwononu.
11 as determined by the wonderful good news of our blessed God which he entrusted to me.
Ululagelo lahoma niliwangeli nivuvaha wa Nguluve yoywa uyisg nukhyaminiwa.
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.
Nikhondemmya uYeesu Kilisite Umtwa vetu. Akhamile ingovu, alipahuva akhambalile unene khavogolofu, akhombeho mmbombo.
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.
Nale munu va hotesya nukhumanga. Napatile olosayo ulyakova navombile khovopumbafu ulya khosita khuva mwedesi.
14 Our Lord in his grace filled me to overflowing with trust and love that comes from Christ Jesus.
Ulyaheva uluhungu lya Nguluve adegile uwedefu nulugano uwa Kilisiti uYeesu.
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.
Ululagelo ulu lukwaminiwa lugiwa ukhupelela na voni ulya uYeesu ahinchile ikhelunga ukhola awanembivi. Une nelimbivi kholiho voni.
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)
Ulyakhuva one napeviwe ikhisa ulyahova igati ndyone, ulyahanja, Kilisiti UYesu avonesye uvofumelefu woni. Ahavombile evo ukhuta kheve khehya ni huvohi avayaheva vikhokonga khuwomi wa sihu nchoni. (aiōnios g166)
17 Honor and glory forever and ever to the eternal King, the immortal, invisible, and only God! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Numbaha uyalevovote umwisyo, uyosifya uyusovoneha u Nguluve mwene, wav wodwado nu wowakha sihu nchoni. Amee. (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!
Nikholoveha ululagelo ulukhuvolungolo khulyove Timotheo, vemwana vango. Nivomba ewa okhohomana na malago, agohamile khulyove uhuhuma huvutengolelo hulyove, ukhuta ukhusehe mvita ifinonu.
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.
Uvombe ovo ukhuta uve nolyedekho. Avanu avange vahangumile vabela ulyedeho.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are such people, and I have “handed them over to Satan” to teach them not to misrepresent God.
Ndoloyevelile himeneyo nu alekizanda yoywa nepile utavango osetano afundesiwe asite uhokufuni.
