1 Timothy 4
1 But the Ruach says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
Honhom no si no pi sɛ, akyiri no, nnipa bi begyae gyidi no mu so. Wobedi atoro ahonhom ne ahonhommɔne nkyerɛkyerɛ akyi.
2 through the hypocrisy of liars, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
Saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi fi nyaatwomfo atorofo a wɔyɛ adwenwuifo sɛ dade a wɔato wɔ ogya mu no.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Saa nnipa no kyerɛkyerɛ se enye sɛ obi ware, na nnuan bi nso wɔ hɔ a enye sɛ onipa di. Nanso Onyankopɔn bɔɔ saa nnuan no sɛ, sɛ agyidifo a wɔahu nokware no nsa ka na wɔbɔ so mpae a, wotumi di.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
Biribiara a Onyankopɔn abɔ no ye. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔpo biribiara, na mmom ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ mpae gu ne nyinaa so.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
Efisɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm no ne mpaebɔ tew ho.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Messiah Yeshua, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
Sɛ woma anuanom no saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ woyɛ Kristo somfo pa a wɔnam nokware ne gyidi ne nkyerɛkyerɛ pa so atetew wo.
7 But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. And train yourself for godliness.
Nsɛe wo bere wɔ gyidihuu nsɛm ne mmerewa anansesɛm ho. Bɔ onyamesompa ho mmɔden.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɔhonam mu mmɔdemmɔ ho hia de, nanso honhom mu mmɔdemmɔ ho hia wɔ akwan nyinaa mu, efisɛ ɛhyɛ yɛn nnɛ asetena ne daakye asetena ho bɔ.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
Eyi yɛ nokwasɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ wogye to mu na wogye di.
10 For to this end we both labor and strive, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
Ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛpere na yɛyɛ adwuma dennen, efisɛ yɛde yɛn anidaso ahyɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa Agyenkwa no mu, ne titiriw wɔn a wogye asɛm no di no.
11 Command and teach these things.
Eyinom na ɛsɛ sɛ moka ho asɛm wɔ mo nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu.
12 Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
Mma obiara ho kwan mma ɔmmfa wo sɛ wunnyinii nti obebu wo abomfiaa. Wo kasa mu, wo suban mu, wo dɔ mu, wo gyidi mu ne wo kronkronyɛ mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ nhwɛso pa.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Nya adagyew kenkan Kyerɛwsɛm no na ka Asɛmpa no na kyerɛkyerɛ ansa na maba.
14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Nnyaa honhom mu akyɛde a mpanyimfo nam nkɔmhyɛ so de wɔn nsa guu wo so a wunyaa no mu.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
So saa nneɛma no mu yiye. Fa wo ho nyinaa ma wɔn, sɛnea ɛbɛma obiara ahu wo nkɔso.
16 Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Hwɛ wo ho so yiye na hwɛ wo nkyerɛkyerɛ nso so. Kɔ so yɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa, efisɛ sɛ woyɛ saa a, wubegye wo ho ne wɔn a wotie wo no nkwa.
