1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
I Paoly, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey, ty amy lilin’ Añahare Mpandrombake antikañe naho Iesoà Norizañe fitamàn-tikañey,
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ho a i Timoty, toe anako am-patokisañe: Hasoa naho fiferenaiñañe vaho fañanintsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
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,
Inay i nañosihako azoy, izaho nionjoñe mb’e Makedonia añe, le t’ihe hitoboke e Efesosy ao heike, handily o ila’eo tsy hañoke fañòhañe hafa,
4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—
naho tsy ho haoñe’o o talilin-taoloo naho o toñon-droae tsy migadoñeo fa mampifandietse avao, he ho soloa’e i fañòhan’ Añahare mitoloñe am-patokisañey.
5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
Fa ty firefea’ o fanoroañeo le fikokoañe boak’ añ’arofo hiringiri’e naho hazavàn-troke miharo fatokisañe to;
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
teo ty nitsile ami’ty hiti’e naho nidrikiñe mb’ an-drehake borosode añe,
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
ie te ho mpañoke Hake, fe tsy apota’e ndra ze rehafe’e ndra o raha vontitire’eo.
8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
Fohintika te soa t’i Hake naho oriheñe ami’ty lili’e,
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,
tsapa te tsy afetsake ami’ty vantañe t’i Hake fa ami’ty tsy mañaon-Kàke, o mpanjehatseo, o mpiolao naho o tsivokatseo; o aman-tahiñeo naho o miteraterao, ho amo mpamono rae naho reneo, o mpañoho-dozao,
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;
o mpañarapiloo, o sambe-lahy mpifandeotseo, o mpañovok’ ondatio, o mpandañitseo, o mpitalily vilañeo, vaho ze mpandietse fañòhañe to,
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
ty amy talili-soan’ Añahare rengeñe nafantoke amakoy.
12 And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
Andriañeko i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey mampaozatse ahikoy, amy te natao’e ho migahiñe, vaho najado’e amy fitoroñañey,
13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
zaho nimpiteratera naho mpampisoañe vaho nimpijoy heike; fe niferenaiñañe amy te nanoeko tsy aman-kilala tsy am-patokisañe,
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
le nidobañe amako ty hasoa’ i Talèn-tikañey reketse ty fatokisañe naho fikokoañe am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
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.
Taroñe atokisañe naho mañeva fiantofañe pea, te, Nivotrake an-tane atoy t’Iesoà Norizañe handrombake o aman-kakeoo, izaho ty lombolombo’e;
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)
fe zao ty nitretrezañe ahy, ty amy hoe zay, soa te amako hey ty nampalangesa’ Iesoà Norizañey ty fahaliñisa’e do’e, hitsikombea’ o hiato ama’eo, hiveloma’e nainai’ey. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ho amy Mpanjaka tsy ho modo, tsy ho momoke, tsy isakey, i Andrianañahare mahihitse tsy roe tsy teloy abey, ty asiñe naho ty engeñe nainai’e donia. Amena. (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;
Inao ty fanoroañe hafantoko ama’o, ry Timoty anake, ty amo nitokiañe ama’oo, t’ie mañorike irezay ro hifañotak’ amy aly soay,
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
hifahatse am-patokisañe naho an-kazavàn-troke; ie fa namoea’ o ila’eo, le nanao ty fatokisa’ iareo ho làka-nijoroboñe.
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Mpiam’ iereo t’i Himeneo naho i Aleksandro ze natoloko hioke amy mpañìnjey, tsy hiteratera.
