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
Fa ny Fanahy milaza marina fa amin’ ny andro aoriana dia hihemotra amin’ ny finoana ny sasany, manaiky fanahy mamitaka sy fampianaran’ ny demonia,
2 speaking lies in hypocrisy. These are men whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron,
amin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihin’ ny mpilaza lainga, ka voapetaky ny vy mahamay ny fieritreretany,
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.
izay mandrara tsy hanam-bady, ary mampifady hanina, izay nataon’ Andriamanitra ho an’ izay mino sady mahalala ny marina, mba horaisiny amin’ ny fisaorana.
4 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if only it is received with thankfulness.
Fa ny zavatra rehetra nataon’ Andriamanitra dia tsara avokoa, ka tsy misy tokony holavina, raha raisina amin’ ny fisaorana,
5 For it is sanctified by the Word of God and by prayer.
satria hamasinin’ ny tenin’ Andriamanitra sy ny fivavahana izany.
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.
Raha manoro hevitra ny rahalahy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany ianao, dia ho mpanompo tsara an’ i Kristy Jesosy, tezaina amin’ ny tenin’ ny finoana sy ny fampianarana tsara izay efa narahinao.
7 Ever reject these profane and old womanish myths; and continually train yourself for the contest of godliness.
Fa ny anganongano ratsy fanaom-bavy antitra dia lavo, ka mampiasà ny tenanao ho amin’ ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Fa mahasoa kely ihany ny fampiasana ny tena; fa ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra no mahasoa amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ka manana ny teny fikasana ny amin’ ny fiainana ankehitriny sy ny ho avy koa.
9 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
Mahatoky izao teny izao ka tokony hekena amin’ ny fankasitrahana rehetra.
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.
Fa izany no ikelezanay aina sy iezahanay, satria izahay manantena an’ Andriamanitra velona, Izay Mpamonjy ny olona rehetra, indrindra fa izay mino.
11 Keep preaching and teaching these things.
Izany zavatra izany no andidio sy ampianaro.
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.
Aoka tsy hisy olona hanao tsinontsinona anao noho ny hatanoranao; fa aoka ho tonga fianarana ho an’ ny mino ianao amin’ ny fiteny, amin’ ny fitondran-tena, amin’ ny fitiavana, amin’ ny finoana, amin’ ny fahadiovana.
13 Be applying yourself until I come to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
Mandra-pihaviko tandremo ny famakian-teny, ny fananarana, ny fampianarana.
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.
Aza tsy mitandrina ny fanomezam-pahasoavana izay ao anatinao, izay nomena anao tamin’ ny faminaniana sy ny fametrahan-tànan’ ny loholona.
15 Let these things be your care, give yourself wholly to them, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
Mazotoa hihevitra izany zavatra izany, dia mikeleza aina fatratra amin’ izany, mba hiseho amin’ ny olona rehetra ny fandrosoanao.
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.
Tandremo ny tenanao sy ny fampianaranao, ka mahareta amin’ izany; fa raha manao izany ianao, dia hamonjy ny tenanao sy izay mihaino anao.
