1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in latter days there will be some who will fall away from the faith, by listening to spirits of error, and to 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. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,
Morutani ta macio mahunjagio nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga, arĩa maaragia maheeni, na arĩa thamiri ciao ihaana ta icinĩtwo na ruoro.
3 who discourage marriage, and enjoin abstinence from foods which God created to be received with thankfulness, by those who believe, and have a clear knowledge of 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 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.
Tondũ-rĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe Ngai oombire nĩ kĩega, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũregwo angĩkorwo kĩamũkĩrĩtwo na ngaatho,
5 For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
tondũ nĩkĩrĩkĩtie gũtherio nĩ kiugo kĩa Ngai na mahooya.
6 As you lay all these things before the brothers, you will be a noble minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing yourself in the precepts of the faith and that noble teaching which you have followed.
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 Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.
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 physical training is of some small service, but godliness is of service in everything; since it carries with it a promise of life, both here and hereafter.
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 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
Ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo wa kwĩhokeka na nĩwagĩrĩire gwĩtĩkĩrĩka o biũ
10 "We toil and agonize because our hopes are set on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all men. - of believers in particular.
(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 Keep preaching and teaching these things.
Athanaga atĩ maũndũ macio mekagwo.
12 Let no one despise you on account of your youth, but become an example for the faithful in word, in life, in love, 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 Be applying yourself until I come to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
Wĩheane gũthomagĩra andũ Maandĩko marĩa matheru, na kũhunjia, na kũrutana, o nginya rĩrĩa ngooka.
14 Never neglect the gift within you, which was given in fulfilment of prophecy at the time of the laying on of hands by the elders.
Ndũkanaage kũhũthĩra kĩheo gĩaku kĩrĩa waheirwo na ũndũ wa mohoro marĩa maarathirwo, rĩrĩa athuuri maakũigĩrĩire moko.
15 Let these things be your care, give yourself wholly to them, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
Ĩkagĩra kĩyo harĩ maũndũ macio; wĩheane kũna kũrĩ mo, nĩgeetha andũ othe monage ũrĩa ũrathiĩ na mbere.
16 Give heed to yourself and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Menyagĩrĩra wega mũtũũrĩre waku na ũrutani waku. Kiragĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio, tondũ weka ũguo, nĩũkwĩhonokia wee mwene na ũhonokie o na arĩa magũthikagĩrĩria.
