1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akusala pangasisa kuti moŵa ga mbesi ŵandu ŵane chaleche chikulupi chao ni kusipilikachisya mbumu syasikulambusya ni majiganyo ga masoka.
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Majiganyo ganti yele gakujenechekwa ni ŵandu ŵa unami, ŵaati mitima jakukumbuchila kupanganya yambone jiwile mpela ila jijochekwe ni chisyano cha mooto.
3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Ŵele ŵandu wo akwiganyanga kuti ili sambi kulombela ni sooni kulya yakulya impepe. Nambo Akunnungu ŵaigumbile yele yakulya lyo kuti, ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila ŵele ni kuumanyilila usyene alyanje kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Pakuŵa chili chose chachipanganyikwe ni Akunnungu chili chambone ni nganichipagwa chakukanilwa, nambo ipochelwe kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Pakuŵa kwa litala lya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwa kupopelela, kukuchitenda chindu cho chikundikwe ni Akunnungu.
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
Iŵaga chimwasalile achalongo achinjetu wose malajisyo ga, chimme jwakutumichila jwambone jwa Kilisito Yesu, chinkule mu chikulupi kwa maloŵe ga chikulupi ni majiganyo ga usyene gankugakuya.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.
Nambo nnekangane ni ngano syakalakala sya unami syanganisiŵa sya Akunnungu ni syangalumbana. Nchalile nkole mbili ja kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Pakuŵa kulijongola kukuchikamusya chiilu nambo kupanganya aila yakuisaka Akunnungu kwana ukamuchisyo mu indu yose, pakuŵa ikutulanjila umi mu utame wa sambano ni waukwika wo.
9 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
Ali liloŵe li lili lyakukulupilichika, sooni lyalikuŵajilwa kukundikwa ni kukulupilichika.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
Uwe tukusauka ni kupanganya masengo kwa kuchalila pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chetu kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi, ni ŵaali Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu wose nnopennope jwa ŵele ŵakukulupilila.
11 These things command and teach.
Gele ni maloŵe gagakuŵajilwa kugalajisya ni kugajiganya.
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Nkajitichisya kuti mundu jwalijose anyosye pakuŵa ndi jwanchanda, nambo mme chisyasyo cha ŵandu ŵakukulupilila, mu uŵechete wenu ni mu lwendo lwenu ni mu unonyelo wenu ni mu chikulupi chenu ni mu utame waukwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Moŵa gose nlimbile kwaŵalanjila ŵandu Malembelo ga Akunnungu pangalisisa, ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ni kwiganya mpaka patiiche.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Nkaleka kuupanganyichisya masengo ntuuka kutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu umpochele kwa litala lya utenga wa ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni apala nkungulu wa achachekulu paŵansajichile makono.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Nganichisye nkati gelego ni kulityosya mwasyene nkupanganya indu yose.
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Nlilolechesye inkuti pakutama ni inkuti pakwiganya. Njendelechele kutenda yeleyo kuti nkombole kulikulupusya mwasyene ni ŵelewo ŵakumpilikana wo.
