1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Messiah Jesus our hope;

Shawulu ndi u ton duu Kristi Yesu ni tu tre u Rji wa kpa ta chu wrohni Kristi Yesu ni you suron.

2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Jesus our Lord.

Hi ni Timotawus janji vre u kpayeim. Alheri, jinkai ni sun si rji ni Rji Iti ni Kristi Yesu Bachi mbu.

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,

Na ki ma misi hla wu chachu'u du wu ti, misi hi ni makidoniya, wu ka kukrie ni Afisa, dan di hla ni ndi ba du bana tsro ba tre ri kan na.

4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

Du ndi ba na wu toh mba ni bubu wo cholonchon wa bana kle na. iri kima ani ji sen yieu ye, nakima ka zo tie u Rrji u jaji.

5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

Ziza'ah manufa do ka i ahi sun rji ni mi kikla suron, rji ni mere didi ma grji ni janji yosuron.

6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

Indi bari ba hu koh wa ana bina, jin kpie wa ba k'ma da nitre ruru tre.

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

Ba son ba kam ti bi bla tre u tron naki bana toh kpie wa ba tre na, ka kpe wa ba kukire ni tuma na.

8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

Nakima ki toh di doka abi ma, inde iri ti du ni wu dede.

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,

Ki toh na idi bana yo doka nitu ndi bi klu sisri Rji na, sei de bi wa bana klu sisiri Rji na baba yan tawaye, na ndi wa bana hu Rji na baba bi lah tre, ni bi wa bana hei ni Rji na, ni, bi meme, ni bi wa ba wu ba timba baba ba yiwa, baba bi wundi.

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;

Don bi fasikanci baba bi hu lilon ni lilon ba kru ni kpamba ni bi yib ndi da duba kani ti gran, ni bi ti ce, ni bi shaida zur ni kpie wa ana kpa yeimi ni kpie didi na.

11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Umurni ahei ni tu tre Rji wo Irji ti lulu yo'u, wa ba ne amana.

12 And I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

Mi gri ni Almasihu Yesu Bachi mbu wa ane gbengblen da kpa yeim ni me, ni mi du ma.

13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Mi na hei na kima, ndi u lah tre ni 'u' tsanata, ni 'u' tawaye, nakima mi lo Rji suron wa yi jinkai ni mu don mi ti ba di na toh na di na hei ni bangaskiya na.

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Jesus.

Naki liheri Bachimbu a grji ni mu, ni bangaskiya, ni sun wa ahei ni mi Almasihu yesu.

15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Itrea ajaji tre wa ko hgan ni kpa yeim di Yesu Almasihu ye ni mi gbugbulu da kpa bi lah tre chuwo, nimi mba kwa i me mi ti meme zah ba.

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus (the) Messiah might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

Nakima me mi kpa jinkai don ni tumu, me mi'u mumladu ba tsro vu suron Yesu Almasihu. A ti naki du me mi zama kpei u tsro ni bi wa ba kpa yeim ni Irji u sisei ni sei. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Zizan gye chu'u gbugbulu wa ana kwiu na, a hei riri Irji iriri nikon ni daukaka ba hi uma seisei ni sei. Amin (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;

Mi ban doka zi ni wu ivre mu Timotawus na di bana hla ni tume; du ka ri ni mi taku u didima.

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

Ti wai du ka zama ni bangaskiya ni mre didima. indi bari ba kamba bubu serton da ka bangaskiya don.

20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

Na ba Himinaeus mba iskandari wa mi vu ba no ibrji duba foro da koya bawu du ba na ti meme na.
