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;

Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu nekuraira kwaMwari Muponesi wedu, nekwaIshe Jesu Kristu tariro yedu,

2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

kuna Timotio mwana wangu chaiye parutendo: Nyasha, tsitsi, nerugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naJesu Kristu Ishe wedu.

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,

Sezvandakakukurudzira kuti ramba ugere paEfeso, ndichienda kuMakedhonia, kuti uraire vamwe kuti varege kudzidzisa imwe dzidziso,

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

kana kuchenjerera ngano nenhoroondo dzemadzinza dzisingaperi, dzinomutsa gakava pane kuvaka kwaMwari kuri murutendo.

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

Asi chinangwa chemurairo rudo rwunobva pamoyo wakachena nehana yakanaka nerutendo rusinganyepedzeri;

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

pane izvozvi vamwe vakatsvedza vakatsaukira kukutaura kusina maturo,

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

vachida kuva vadzidzisi vemurairo, vasinganzwisisi kana zvavanoreva, kana maererano nezvavanosimbisa.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

Asi tinoziva kuti murairo wakanaka, kana munhu achiushandisa zviri pamurairo,

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,

achiziva izvi, kuti murairo hauna kuitirwa wakarurama, asi vasina murairo nevasingateereri, vasingadi Mwari nevatadzi, vasiri vatsvene nevasina hanya naMwari, mhondi dzemadzibaba nemhondi dzana amai, vanouraya vanhu,

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;

mhombwe, ngochani, vanopamba vanhu, vanyepi, vaputsi vemhiko, uye kana chimwe chiriko chinopesana nedzidziso yakagwinya,

11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

maererano neevhangeri yekubwinya kwaMwari wakaropafadzwa yandakabatiswa.

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

Uye ndinovonga wakandigonesa, Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu, kuti wakandiona ndakatendeka, akandiisa paushumiri,

13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

ini ndaimbova munyombi nemushushi nemutuki; asi ndakawana tsitsi, nokuti ndakaita nekusaziva pakusatenda;

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

asi nyasha dzaIshe wedu dzakawedzeresa pamwe nerutendo nerudo rwuri muna Kristu 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.

Ishoko rakatendeka uye rinofanira kugamuchirwa chese, kuti Kristu Jesu wakauya munyika kuzoponesa vatadzi, vandiri ini mukuru wavo;

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)

asi nekuda kweizvi ndakawana tsitsi, kuti mandiri ndinova mukuru, Jesu Kristu aratidze moyo murefu wese, uve muenzaniso kune vanozotenda kwaari, paupenyu husingaperi. (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)

Zvino kuna Mambo wekusingaperi, asingafi, asingaonekwi, Mwari wega wakachenjera, ngakuve nekukudzwa nekubwinya kusvikira rinhi narinhi. 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;

Murairo uyu ndinokumikidza kwauri, mwana wangu Timotio, sezviporofita zvakatanga pamusoro pako, kuti nazvo urwe kurwa kwakanaka;

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

wakabata rutendo nehana yakanaka, vamwe vakati vairasa zvichienderana nerutendo vakaputsikirwa nechikepe,

20 Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

vamwe vavo ndiHimenayosi naArekizandro, vandakakumikidza kuna Satani, kuti vadzidze kusanyomba.
