1 Timothy 1
1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Pawulu, mutumwa waKkilisito Jesu mbuli mumalayilile aLeza Mufutuli wesu a Kkilisito Jesu bulangilizi bwesu,
2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
kuli Timoti, mwanan mulombe wasimpe mulusyomo: Lizyalo, luse, a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Mbuli mbundakakusungwaazya kuti uchite aawo nindakali kuzwa kuya kuMasedoniya, syaala mu Efeso nkokuti ukonzye kulayilila bamwi bantu kutibatayiisyi iimwi njisyo iisiyene.
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Nikuba boobo bataswilizyi twaano amazyalani aatagoli. Eezi zichita kukazyanya kwiinda kuba balondozi baLeza, kabuli bwa lusyomo.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Lino bulangilili bwa malayilile nduyando luzwa mumoyo uusalala, kuzwa mukulimvwida kubotu, a kuzwa mulusyomo lwini.
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
Bamwi bantu balookusweka kuzwa kuzintu eezi akusandukila kukwaambula kwabufubafuba.
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Bayanda kuba bayisi bamulawu, pesi tabamvwisisisyi eezyo nzibaambula nikuba eezyo nzibazikitizya kwaamba.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Pesi iswe tulizi kuti mulawu mubotu ikuti na umwi wawubelesya chamulawu.
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Swe tulizi, kuti mulwawu tewakabikilwa baalumi baluleme pe abusena, pesi kuli aabo batakwe mulawu alimwi bantu bakapanduka, aabo bantu batakwe bunaleza alimwi a basizibi, abaabo batasalali alimwi kabateeli, nguwabaabo bajaya mawisi a manyina, ngwabajayi,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
ngwabantu bayandisya zyakulalana, ababo bachita zyakulalana lwabo lwabo, ababo babba bantu akubachita bazike, ngwababeja, abaamba bukamboni bwakubeja alimwi kufumbwa zyoonse eezyo zikazyanya aanjisyo ntuloko.
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Oku kulayilila kuli mbuli makani mabotu aabulemu bwaLeza ulongezegelwe kuli ngawo ngindakapegwa.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
Ndilumba Kkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu. Wakandisimya, nkaambo wakandiyeya mbuli uusyomekede, alimwi wakandinanikila mulimu.
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Ndakali kusampawula Leza, mufwabyi, alimwi mwaalumi wankondo. Pesi ndakatambula luse nkaambo ndakalikuchita mukutaziba a mukutasyoma.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Alimwi luzyalo lwaMwaami wesu lwakafusuka aantomwe a lusyomo alimwi a luyando oolo luli muli Kkilisito Jesu.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Ooyu mulumbe nguwanchoonzyo alimwi uleelede kutambulwa koonse, kuti Kkilisito Jesu wakasika munyika kuzofutula basizibi.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Pesi nkaambo kaboobo ndakapegwa luse, kuti mulindime, mutanzi, Kkilisito Jesu akonzyed kutondezya moyo mulamfu. Wakachita eechi mbuli chitondezyo kulibaabo bayosyoma mulinguwe kubuumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Lino kuMwaami wachindi, utafwi, utabonwi, Leza uumwi luzutu, ngakube bulumbu alimwi bulemu kuli lyoonsea lyoonse. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
Ndilokubika malayilile aaya kunembo lyako, Timoti, mwana wangu, mukweendelana kwabusinsimi bwakachitwa musule aatala a nduwe kuti ukonzye kulwana kulwana kubotu,
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
kojisilidi kulusyomo alimwi akukulimvwida kubotu. Aakukaka eezi, bamwi bakasweekelwa alusyomo lwabo.
20 Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Bo mba Himeniyasi a Alekizanda, aabo mbindakapeda kuli Satani kuchitila kuti bakakuyisigwe kutasampawula Leza.
