1 Timothy 1
1 Pavl an Apostle of Iesvs Christ, by the commandement of God our Sauiour, and of our Lord Iesus Christ our hope,
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto kolanda mokano ya Nzambe Mobikisi na biso mpe ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, elikya na biso;
2 Vnto Timotheus my naturall sonne in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Iesus our Lord.
Epai ya Timote, mwana na ngai ya bolingo kati na kondima: Tika ete ngolu, mawa mpe kimia epesamela yo kowuta na Nzambe Tata mpe na Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso!
3 As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so doe, that thou mayest warne some, that they teach none other doctrine,
Ndenge nasengaki na yo tango nazalaki na Masedwane, tikala awa kati na Efeso mpo ete opesa bato mosusu mitindo ete batika koteya mateya ya lokuta
4 Neither that they giue heede to fables and genealogies which are endles, which breede questions rather then godly edifying which is by fayth.
to bakangama te na masapo ya pamba-pamba mpe na botangi milongo ya mbotama, oyo ezangi suka. Makambo ya bongo ebimisaka kaka tembe, na esika ete esunga mpo ete mosala na Nzambe, oyo toyebi na nzela ya kondima, ekende liboso.
5 For the end of the commandement is loue out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith vnfained.
Tina ya mitindo yango ezali bolingo oyo ewuti na motema ya peto, na makanisi ya malamu mpe na kondima ya solo.
6 From the which things some haue erred, and haue turned vnto vaine iangling.
Bato mosusu basili kobunga mosika ya makambo yango mpe bamipesi na masolo ezanga tina;
7 They would be doctours of the Law, and yet vnderstande not what they speake, neither whereof they affirme.
balingi kozala balakisi ya Mobeko, kasi bazali kososola te makambo oyo bazali koloba mpe oyo bazali kobetela sete.
8 And we knowe, that the Law is good, if a man vse it lawfully,
Toyebi ete mibeko ezalaka malamu soki moto azali kosalela yango na ndenge oyo ebongi.
9 Knowing this, that the Lawe is not giuen vnto a righteous man, but vnto the lawles and disobedient, to the vngodly, and to sinners, to the vnholy, and to the prophane, to murtherers of fathers and mothers, to manslayers,
Toyebi lisusu ete mibeko esalema te mpo na bato ya malamu kasi mpo na bato mabe mpe batomboki, mpo na bato oyo batosaka Nzambe te mpe bato ya masumu, mpo na bato ya mbindo mpe batioli makambo ya bule, ba-oyo bakoki ata koboma tata mpe mama, mpo na babomi ya bato,
10 To whoremongers, to buggerers, to menstealers, to lyers, to the periured, and if there be any other thing, that is contrary to wholesome doctrine,
mpo na bato na pite, mpo na mibali oyo basangisaka nzoto na mibali, mpo na bato oyo batekaka baninga na bango bato na bowumbu, mpo na bakosi, mpo na bato oyo balapaka ndayi ya lokuta, mpe mpo na bato oyo basalaka makambo oyo etambolaka nzela moko te na mateya ya solo,
11 Which is according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which is committed vnto me.
kolanda Sango Malamu oyo napesamelaki mokumba, Sango Malamu ya nkembo ya Nkolo-Na-Esengo.
12 Therefore I thanke him, which hath made me strong, that is, Christ Iesus our Lord: for he counted me faithfull, and put me in his seruice:
Nazali kozongisa matondi epai ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, oyo apesaki ngai nguya, pamba te amonaki ete akoki kotiela ngai motema, wana aponaki ngai mpo na lotomo na Ye,
13 When before I was a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and an oppresser: but I was receiued to mercie: for I did it ignorantly through vnbeliefe.
atako liboso nazalaki kofinga mpe konyokola Ye mpe nazalaki moto na kanza; kasi ayokelaki ngai mawa, pamba te nazalaki koyeba te makambo oyo nazalaki kosala mpe nazalaki na kondima te.
14 But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and loue, which is in Christ Iesus.
Nkolo na biso atondisaki ngai na ngolu na Ye, elongo na kondima mpe bolingo oyo ezali kati na Yesu-Klisto.
15 This is a true saying, and by all meanes worthy to be receiued, that Christ Iesus came into the worlde to saue sinners, of whom I am chiefe.
Tala liloba ya solo penza, liloba oyo ekoki na kondimama mpe koyambama na mobimba na yango: Yesu-Klisto ayaki kati na mokili mpo na kobikisa bato ya masumu; mpe kati na bato yango ya masumu, ngai nde naleki na masumu.
16 Notwithstanding, for this cause was I receiued to mercie, that Iesus Christ should first shewe on me all long suffering vnto the ensample of them, which shall in time to come beleeue in him vnto eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
Kasi mpo na tina wana, Nzambe ayokelaki ngai mawa mpo ete, kati na ngai oyo naleki na masumu, Yesu-Klisto atalisa motema monene na Ye, oyo ezangi ndelo lokola ndakisa epai ya bato oyo bakondimela Ye mpo na kozwa bomoi ya seko. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nowe vnto the King euerlasting, immortall, inuisible, vnto God onely wise, be honour and glorie, for euer, and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
Tika ete lokumu mpe nkembo ezonga epai ya Mokonzi ya seko, Ye oyo akufaka te, amonanaka te mpe azali Nzambe se moko mpo na libela na libela! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This commandement commit I vnto thee, sonne Timotheus, according to the prophecies, which went before vpon thee, that thou by them shouldest fight a good fight,
Tala mitindo oyo nazali kopesa na yo Timote, mwana na ngai, kolanda masakoli oyo elobamaki na tina na yo: kolanda masakoli yango, bunda etumba ya malamu,
19 Hauing faith and a good conscience, which some haue put away, and as concerning faith, haue made shipwracke.
na kobatelaka kondima mpe motema ya malamu, oyo bato mosusu basili kobwaka kino kobungisa kondima na bango.
20 Of whom is Hymeneus, and Alexander, whom I haue deliuered vnto Satan, that they might learne not to blaspheme.
Kati na bango, ezali na Imene mpe Alekizandre, ba-oyo nakabi na maboko ya Satana mpo ete bayeba ete basengeli te kofinga Nzambe.
