1 Timothy 1

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

Mini polo n tie Jesu kilisiti tondo kelima U Tienu ti candaano yaa ñoabonli po, leli Jesu kilisiti yua n tie ti suginma yaa po.

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

N diani apo fini Timote yua n tie n bimoanga li dandanli nni U Tienu yua n tie ba leni ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti yaa ŋanbili leni o niŋigbadima leni o yanduanma n yaa ye leni a.

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,

Nbua ki tiadi a min den puogi a yaala min den baa fii ki gedi Maseduana diema yaa yogunu ke ŋan yaa ye Efesa ki tundi bi nitianba yaaba n bangi bangi toama.

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

Han go yie bi po ke ban da pa bi yula i telimi togida leni yaajanba togida yaa n kaa pia gbenma, kelima laa bonla kuli fiidi mi niama ki naa todi U Tienu tuonli suagima liiga li dandanli nni.

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

Laa tundi n baa cuani yaala tie: yaa buama n ña yaa pali n pieni niinni leni yaa pali seedi n ŋani leni li dandanmoanli.

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

Bi nitianba lebidi ki ŋa laa bonla ki yaadi ki ŋoa mi mafanma.

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

Bi bua ki yaa tie li bali maama bangikaaba, ama baa bani ban maadi yaala leni ban tiendi yaala leni li papaali yeni n bua ki yedi yaala.

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

Ti bani ke U Tienu balimaama ŋani li ya tie ke o nilo ŋoa ma nani lan bili maama.

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,

Ti go bani ke baa bili li balimaama yeni o niteginkoa po, ama bi bili ma bi nibiadiba, leni bi niyiekaaba, leni U Tienu yiekaaba, leni ti tuonbiadi danba, leni yaaba n kaa ŋoa U Tienu sanu, kaa fangi U Tienu mo leni yaaba n ku bi baanba leni bi naanba, leni nikpalo kuli po,

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;

leni mi conconma danba, leni yaa jaba n taagi leni bi yaba, leni yaaba n kuadi bi niba, leni bi tuofadanba leni yaaba n tiedi mi seedi faama po, leni yaala n nia leni mi bangiŋanma kuli po.

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

Laa bangiŋanma ŋoa o laabaaliŋamo, U Tienu yua n pundi ki yaa baadi ti kpiagidi ki go pia mi yemanmoanma n piani nni yua.

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

N tuondi ti diedo jesu kilisiti yua n puni nni u paalu, ki sua ke n tie nidugikoa ki kuani nni o tuonli nni.

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

Mini yua n den kpa sugidi o, ki wangi o fala, ki tiendi o yaala n bia, o den gbadi npo mi niŋima, kelima n den tiendi yeni n yanpiima po leni n dandanluoma po.

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

Ti diedo den ŋanbi npo ŋali ke li kandi, ki puni nni yaa dandanli leni yaa buama n ñani Jesu kilisiti kani.

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

Ya maama n tie na tie madugikaama ki pundi bi niba n ga ma cain, ke Jesu kilisiti den cua ŋanduna nni ki baa tindi ti tuonbiadi danba. Bi siiga nni mini n cie.

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

Ama o den gbadi npo mi niŋima line yaapo: Jesu kilisiti cili ki doagidi o juuli mini yaa kani, ke min tua li bontogidikaala yaaba n baa daani o ki ba yaa miali n kan gbeni kuli po. (aiōnios g166)

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

U Tienu yua n tie o badiciamo ŋali yaa yogunu kuli kaa pia kuuma, tin ki nua yua, wani yua bebe n tie U Tienu n yaa baadi ti jigidi leni ti kpiagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli. 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;

N biga Timote n teni a yaa ñoabonli n tie na, nani ban den kpa pua apo yaa sawali ki yedi maama lani n tie ŋan ya koani li dandanli koanŋanli,

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

ki yaa kubi li dandanli leni yaa paliseedi n ŋani, bi nitianba den ŋa laa bonla ke bi dandanli bodi.

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

Imene leni Alesanda tie laa niba siiga yaaba. N den teni ba Sutaani ke lan bangi ba ban da go sugidi U Tienu.
