1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

Mini polo n tie Jesu kilisiti tondo kelima U Tienu ti candaano yaa ñoabonli po, leli Jesu kilisiti yua n tie ti suginma yaa po.

2 to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

N diani apo fini Timote yua n tie n bimoanga li dandanli nni U Tienu yua n tie ba leni ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti yaa ŋanbili leni o niŋigbadima leni o yanduanma n yaa ye leni a.

3 According as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that you might charge certain [ones] not to teach any other thing,

Nbua ki tiadi a min den puogi a yaala min den baa fii ki gedi Maseduana diema yaa yogunu ke ŋan yaa ye Efesa ki tundi bi nitianba yaaba n bangi bangi toama.

4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than [the] stewardship of God which [is] in faith.

Han go yie bi po ke ban da pa bi yula i telimi togida leni yaajanba togida yaa n kaa pia gbenma, kelima laa bonla kuli fiidi mi niama ki naa todi U Tienu tuonli suagima liiga li dandanli nni.

5 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,

Laa tundi n baa cuani yaala tie: yaa buama n ña yaa pali n pieni niinni leni yaa pali seedi n ŋani leni li dandanmoanli.

6 from which certain [men], having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,

Bi nitianba lebidi ki ŋa laa bonla ki yaadi ki ŋoa mi mafanma.

7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,

Bi bua ki yaa tie li bali maama bangikaaba, ama baa bani ban maadi yaala leni ban tiendi yaala leni li papaali yeni n bua ki yedi yaala.

8 and we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone may use it lawfully;

Ti bani ke U Tienu balimaama ŋani li ya tie ke o nilo ŋoa ma nani lan bili maama.

9 having known this, that law is not set for a righteous man, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers,

Ti go bani ke baa bili li balimaama yeni o niteginkoa po, ama bi bili ma bi nibiadiba, leni bi niyiekaaba, leni U Tienu yiekaaba, leni ti tuonbiadi danba, leni yaaba n kaa ŋoa U Tienu sanu, kaa fangi U Tienu mo leni yaaba n ku bi baanba leni bi naanba, leni nikpalo kuli po,

10 whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,

leni mi conconma danba, leni yaa jaba n taagi leni bi yaba, leni yaaba n kuadi bi niba, leni bi tuofadanba leni yaaba n tiedi mi seedi faama po, leni yaala n nia leni mi bangiŋanma kuli po.

11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

Laa bangiŋanma ŋoa o laabaaliŋamo, U Tienu yua n pundi ki yaa baadi ti kpiagidi ki go pia mi yemanmoanma n piani nni yua.

12 And I give thanks to Him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that He reckoned me steadfast, having put [me] to the ministry,

N tuondi ti diedo jesu kilisiti yua n puni nni u paalu, ki sua ke n tie nidugikoa ki kuani nni o tuonli nni.

13 who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,

Mini yua n den kpa sugidi o, ki wangi o fala, ki tiendi o yaala n bia, o den gbadi npo mi niŋima, kelima n den tiendi yeni n yanpiima po leni n dandanluoma po.

14 and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus.

Ti diedo den ŋanbi npo ŋali ke li kandi, ki puni nni yaa dandanli leni yaa buama n ñani Jesu kilisiti kani.

15 The word [is] steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am first;

Ya maama n tie na tie madugikaama ki pundi bi niba n ga ma cain, ke Jesu kilisiti den cua ŋanduna nni ki baa tindi ti tuonbiadi danba. Bi siiga nni mini n cie.

16 but because of this I found kindness, that Jesus Christ might first show forth all long-suffering in me, for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to continuous life. (aiōnios g166)

Ama o den gbadi npo mi niŋima line yaapo: Jesu kilisiti cili ki doagidi o juuli mini yaa kani, ke min tua li bontogidikaala yaaba n baa daani o ki ba yaa miali n kan gbeni kuli po. (aiōnios g166)

17 And to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honor and glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

U Tienu yua n tie o badiciamo ŋali yaa yogunu kuli kaa pia kuuma, tin ki nua yua, wani yua bebe n tie U Tienu n yaa baadi ti jigidi leni ti kpiagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina (aiōn g165)

18 I commit to you this charge, child Timotheus, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war in them the good warfare,

N biga Timote n teni a yaa ñoabonli n tie na, nani ban den kpa pua apo yaa sawali ki yedi maama lani n tie ŋan ya koani li dandanli koanŋanli,

19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made shipwreck concerning the faith,

ki yaa kubi li dandanli leni yaa paliseedi n ŋani, bi nitianba den ŋa laa bonla ke bi dandanli bodi.

20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

Imene leni Alesanda tie laa niba siiga yaaba. N den teni ba Sutaani ke lan bangi ba ban da go sugidi U Tienu.
