1 Timothy 4
1 And the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
Na rĩrĩ, Roho nĩoigaga atekũhithĩrĩra atĩ matukũ ma thuutha andũ amwe nĩmagatiganĩria wĩtĩkio na marũmĩrĩre maaroho marĩa maheenanagia o na maũndũ marĩa marutanagwo nĩ ndaimono.
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, being seared in their own conscience,
Morutani ta macio mahunjagio nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga, arĩa maaragia maheeni, na arĩa thamiri ciao ihaana ta icinĩtwo na ruoro.
3 forbidding to marry—to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,
Acio nĩo makaanagia andũ kũhikania na makameera megirĩrĩrie kũrĩĩaga irio cia mĩthemba ĩmwe, iria Ngai oombire nĩguo ciamũkagĩrwo na ngaatho nĩ arĩa metĩkĩtie na arĩa moĩ ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
4 because every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received,
Tondũ-rĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe Ngai oombire nĩ kĩega, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũregwo angĩkorwo kĩamũkĩrĩtwo na ngaatho,
5 for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.
tondũ nĩkĩrĩkĩtie gũtherio nĩ kiugo kĩa Ngai na mahooya.
6 Placing these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which you followed after,
Ũngĩruta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ maũndũ maya-rĩ, nĩũgũtuĩka ndungata njega ya Kristũ Jesũ, ĩrĩa ĩreretwo na ciugo cia ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma wa wĩtĩkio o na cia ũrutani mwega ũrĩa wee ũtũire ũrũmĩrĩire.
7 but reject the profane and old women’s fables, and exercise yourself to piety,
Reganaga na ngʼano cia tũhũ iria itarĩ cia gũtĩĩithia Ngai, o na ngʼano ta iria iganagwo nĩ iheti; nĩ kaba wĩmenyerie gũikara wĩyamũrĩire Ngai.
8 for bodily exercise is to little profit, but piety is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;
Nĩgũkorwo gwĩka maũndũ ma gwĩkĩra mwĩrĩ hinya nĩ ũrĩ bata waguo, no kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai kũrĩ bata harĩ maũndũ mothe, nĩ ũndũ kũrehaga kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ o na muoyo-inĩ ũrĩa ũgooka.
9 the word [is] steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance;
Ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo wa kwĩhokeka na nĩwagĩrĩire gwĩtĩkĩrĩka o biũ
10 for this we both labor and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Savior of all men—especially of those believing.
(na ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga twĩrutanagĩrie na twĩnogagie), na tũkaiga mwĩhoko witũ harĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo, ũrĩa arĩ we Mũhonokia wa andũ othe, na makĩria arĩa metĩkĩtie.
11 Charge these things, and teach;
Athanaga atĩ maũndũ macio mekagwo.
12 let no one despise your youth, but become a pattern of those believing in word, in behavior, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;
Ndũkanareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũire tondũ atĩ wĩ mũndũ mwĩthĩ, no tuĩka kĩonereria kũrĩ andũ arĩa metĩkĩtie rĩrĩa ũkwaria, na ha ũhoro wa mũtũũrĩre, na wa wendani, o na ha wĩtĩkio, na ha ũhoro wa mĩtugo mĩtheru.
13 until I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;
Wĩheane gũthomagĩra andũ Maandĩko marĩa matheru, na kũhunjia, na kũrutana, o nginya rĩrĩa ngooka.
14 do not be careless of the gift in you, that was given you through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership;
Ndũkanaage kũhũthĩra kĩheo gĩaku kĩrĩa waheirwo na ũndũ wa mohoro marĩa maarathirwo, rĩrĩa athuuri maakũigĩrĩire moko.
15 be careful of these things; be in these things, that your advancement may be evident in all things;
Ĩkagĩra kĩyo harĩ maũndũ macio; wĩheane kũna kũrĩ mo, nĩgeetha andũ othe monage ũrĩa ũrathiĩ na mbere.
16 take heed to yourself and to the teaching; remain in them, for doing this thing, you will save both yourself and those hearing you.
Menyagĩrĩra wega mũtũũrĩre waku na ũrutani waku. Kiragĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio, tondũ weka ũguo, nĩũkwĩhonokia wee mwene na ũhonokie o na arĩa magũthikagĩrĩria.
