1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
Nne Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu Bhaatapula na a Yeshu bhali ngulupalilo yetu.
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ngunakunnjandishila mmwe a Timoteo mmanangu bha kweli nngulupai. Ngunakunnjujila nema na shiya na ulele, kukopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,
Ngunaapinga ntame ku Epesho, malinga shinanshondelesheye punajendaga ku Makedonia, nkupinga mwaalimbiyanje bhandunji bhaajiganyanga majiganyo ga unami,
4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—
wala bhanakagulilanje ndango yangali malombolelo, na nndondonga gwa mena ga bhanyikala, gwangali mpelo, ikumbuya mitau na wala ikakwaajangutilanga bhandunji nngulupai.
5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
Kwa nneyo, shitumbililwe kwa gene malajiloga, nikwaakwiyanga bhandunji bhapingananje, kwa ntima gwa mmbone, na ng'aniyo ya muntima ili ya mmbone, na ngulupai yangali ugulumba.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
Bhandu bhananji bhashipuganikanga ni tendebhushila malobhe gangali ga mmbone.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
Bhanapinganga kubha bhaajiganya bha malajilo ga a Musha, ikabheje bhakakugamanyanga malobhe gubhaabheleketanga, wala ibhakong'ondelanga.
8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
Tumumanyi kuti shalia ja a Musha ni ja mmbone, ibhaga mundu shaakagulile kwa aki.
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
Ikabheje tukumbushile kuti, shalia jangabhikwa kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhanguja, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhaatendanga yangali ya mmbone, na bhakaakundanga, na bhakakwaishimiyanga a Nnungu, na bhakwetenje yambi, na bhandunji bhanyatiyanga indu ya ukonjelo pa shilambolyo, na bhandunji bhakwaabhulaganga bhaakwetenje, eu bhaabhulaganga bhobhowe bhala,
10 for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;
shalia jishibhikwa kwa ligongo lya bha labhalabha, na bhaagonana ashaayene, yani, bhanabhalume kwa bhanabhalume, na bhanabhakongwe kwa bhanabhakongwe, bhandunji bhaajibhanga bhandu, na bhandunji bha unami, na bhandunji bhaalumbilanga kwa unami, na bhaatendanga shindu shoshowe shikana malajilo ga kweli.
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Gene majiganyogo mugaabhoneka, Nngani ja Mmbone ja a Nnungu bha ukonjelo na bha mboka, jimbegwilwe nunguye.
12 And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Yeshu Kilishitu bhambele mashili ga kamula liengo lyangu. Ngunakwaatendela eja pabha bhashimona nne kuti najwaakulupalilwa, gubhang'agwile naatendele liengo lyabho,
13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
nkali bhukala gula, natendaga kwaatukana na kwaashima, na kwaatendela nngomo. Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhamonele shiya, pabha ngakweteje ngulupai na ngashimanyaga shingutenda.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ikabheje Bhakulungwa bhetu bhashinkumba nema ja punda, gubhambele ngulupai na pingana, nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Ni lilobhe lya kulupalika kaje, na linapinjikwa liposhelwe kuti, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhashinkwiya pa shilambolyo kukwaatapulanga bhakwetenje ilebho. Na nne, ni napundile kulebha punda bhowenji,
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
ikabheje a Nnungu gubhamonele shiya nkupinga a Kilishitu bhalanguye kwiipililila kwabho kowe mwangu nne naaliji nankulebha kupunda bhowe, nkupinga nne mme jwa langulwa ku bhandunji bhowe, shibhajiye kwaakulupalilanga na poshela gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kwa bhenebho bhali a Mpalume bha pitipiti, bhakawa na bhakaabhoneka, bhene bhali a Nnungu jikape, kwa bhenebho jibhe ishima, na ukonjelo pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn g165)
18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
Mwanangu Timoteo, ngunakupa gene malajilo gano, malinga malobhe gunabhalanjilwe bhukala na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu. Ugatende gene malobhego gabhe shikomanilo shako nkukomana ukoto ngondo jako.
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
Ukole ngulupai na ng'aniyo ya mmbone. Bhandunji bhana gubhaikanilenje ng'aniyo yabhonji, niobhiya ngulupai yabhonji.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Munkumbi gwabhonji bhapalinji, a Imeneyo na a Alekishanda, bhene bhunimpele Lishetani, nkupinga bhaajiganywanje bhanaatukananje a Nnungu kabhili.
