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,

Paulusi, muapositola wa Chrisite Jesu kuya che intaelo ya Ireeza mu hazi wetu ni Chrisite Jesu i nsepo yetu,

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

kwa Timotea, mwana we niti mwi ntumelo: Chisemo, inse ni nkozo izwa kwa Ireeza Ishetu ni Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu.

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,

Ubu muniba kukumbilili kuti upange hani bakukaya kwa Masedonia, wikale mwa Efese kuti uwole kuha intaelo kubamwi bantu kuti sanzi baruti intuto ingi.

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

Nikusa ntekeleza kuma tangu asa mani amasika. Izi zileta kupanga inkani kuhita kutusa mulelo wa Ireeza, iri che ntumelo.

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

Hanu cwale ma manimani omu lao i rato lizwa kwi nkulo i chenete, kuzwilila kwi izwalo ilotu, ni kuzwililila kwi tumelo ina buniti.

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

Bamwi batu baba kwangi kusika hama manimani kono baba sanduki nokutanga kuwamba zobuhafu.

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

Basaka kuba maruti womu lao, kono kaba zuwi sisi zibawamba kamba ondelelwa hateni.

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

Kono twizi kuti mulao wina hande haiba zumwi usebelisa chenswanelo

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,

Mi tuzizi izi, kuti mulao kena uba pangilwa muntu yolukite, konu kubantu ba sena mulao niba kwenuheli, nibantu basena Ireeza, niba panga zivi, mi nabana ba sezi Ireeza niba fosahere. Linu uba pangilwa bana behaya bashemi bavo baba kwame nibanakazi, ni behayi.

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

nibantu bapanga zabushahi, mukwame yozumina kusandulwa mwanakazi, abo bahiba bantu nikubapanga batanga, ba pono, ipanki za mapa, mi nizintu zose zisena initi niku lwanisa intaelo.

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

Izi intaelo ziyendelela ni kanya ye linzi lifuyawile kwa Ireeza ilyo lini bahewa.

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,

Nili tumela kwa Chresite Jesu iye Fumweetu. Aba ni konzi, kakuti aba ni hindi kuti ni sepahala, mi nikuni bika ha musebezi.

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

Nibali nimunyazerizi, ni munyandisi nimu kwame yonyandisa. Kono niba tambuli chishemo ka kuli niba kupanga nini sezi nikusazumina.

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

Kono chisemo cha fumwangu chiba kezi kwangu ni tumelo mwi lato lina kwa Christ Jesu.

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;

Ili iñusa lisepahala ni kuswanela mi nikuzuminiwa, kuti Christ Jesu aba kezi mwifasi kwiza kuhaza mu eza libi. Ime nji niwa mamani mani kwezi.

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)

Mi keli ibaka niba hewa chisemo, kuhitiliza, Christ Jesu u wola kutondeza kuli keta kose. Aba pangi izi nili mutala kwabo basepa kwali mubuhalo bunhya. (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)

Linu ku Mulena wakale, ya saboli, ya sabonwa, Ireeza yenke, ikute, nikanya, nikutwala kusa manu mani. Amen. (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,

Nibika iyi intaelo ha busu bwenu, Timotea, mwanangu. Nizipanga izi kuyendelela ni chipolofita chiba wambwa kwako, iri kuti kupangila kuti winjile mwindwa indotu.

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

Uzi pange izi kuti ube mwi tumelo ni izwalo ilutu. bamwi batu baba kani izi ni kumina ka kuti lye ntumelo.

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

Baswana sina Imenca ni Alexandere, abo vaniva tambiki kwa Satani iri kuti valutwe kusa yefula.
