1 Timothy 1
1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the appointment of God, our Savior, and Christ Jesus, our hope.
une ne Poulo ne n'sung'hwa ghwa Yeesu Kilisite kulingana nululaghilo lwa Nguluve nu mpoki ghwitu nu Yeesu kilisite juno luhuviilo lwitu.
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
nikukulembela uve Timoti ghwe mwanango ghwa kyang'ani muvuvangilanisi vwa lwitiko. ulusungu ni lipyana nulutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve uNhaata na kwa Yesu kilisite uMutwa ghwitu fivisaghe numue.
3 I beg you, as I did when I was on my way into Macedonia, to remain at Ephesus; so that you may instruct certain people there not to teach new and strange doctrines,
ghukalaghe kulikaaja lya efeso, ndavule nikakusumile ye nivuka kuluta kukighavo ikya makedonia, kuti uvakanaghe avanhu vanovivulanisia mbulanisio isa vudesi.
4 nor to devote their attention to legends and interminable genealogies, which tend to give rise to argument rather than to further that divine plan which is revealed in the faith.
valeke kugadilila ifipango ifisila luvumbulilo, namatavua gha fisina fya vakuulu amasila vusililo. ifio fefino fipela kukaning'ana nafikuvatanga avanhu kukumwitika uNguruve ghwa lwitiko.
5 The object of all instruction is to call forth that love which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
uvufumbue vwa ndaghilo siitu kwekuti avitiki vaghananaghe nu mwojo um'balafu, ni nyivonelo inofu, nu lwitiko ulwa kyang'ani.
6 And it is because they have not aimed at these things that the attention of certain people has been diverted to unprofitable subjects.
neke vamonga vasilekile isio, vagalwike vingiile mujova amasio amasila luvumbulilo.
7 They want to be teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.
vilonda kuuva vavulanisi va ndaghilo sa Moose, napano sino vijova nakusimilisia navasitang'hanie.
8 We know, of course, that the Law is excellent, when used legitimately,
neke tukagwile kuuti indaghilo sa Moose nofu, nave umuunhu ikusivingilila muvughane vwa Nguluve.
9 by one who recognizes that laws were not made for good people, but for the lawless and disorderly, for irreligious and wicked people, for those who are irreverent and profane, for those who ill-treat their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
kange tunoghiile kukagula kuuti indaghilo nasivikilue kuvagholofu, looli kuvagalusi navano navakundi, kuvahosi navano navikufuunya kwa Nguluve, kuvalamafu navano navimike, kuvano vibuda avaviise na vang'hina, nambe vanoviduda avanhu avange.
10 for the immoral, for perverts, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is opposed to sound Christian teaching –
kange sivikilue kuva vwafu navano vivwafuka avaghoosi navaghoosi vanine, vano vikwuvila avanhu na kukuvaghusia kuvukami, avadeis na vano vijiigha isa vudesi, palikimo nisingi sooni sino nasikwiting'ana ni mbulanisio isa kyang'ani.
11 as is taught in the glorious good news of the ever-blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
imbulanisio isio sili muMhola inofu, jino jihusia uvuvaha vwa Nguluve, juno ighinisivua. ijio jejino nifumbatisivue nu Nguluve nipulisyaghe.
12 I am thankful to Christ Jesus, our Lord, who has been my strength, for showing that he thought me worthy of trust by appointing me to his ministry,
nikumhongesia uYeesu Kilisite uMutwa ghwitu juno amheliile ingufu, ulwakuva alyang'hagwile kuva m'bomba mbombo nnofu. akam'biika mumbombo jaake,
13 though I once used to blaspheme, and to persecute, and to insult. Yet mercy was shown me, because I acted in ignorance, while still an unbeliever;
napano ulutasi nilyamulighile na kukumpumusia na kukuvalemasia avaanhu vaake. akasungukila ulwakuva nikavombagha isio muvujasu na muvusila lwitiko.
14 and the loving kindness of our Lord was boundless, and filled me with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
kange uMutwa ghwitu alyasungukiile kyango, akamheela nu lwitiko nulughano luno luli mwa Yeesu Kilisite.
15 How true the saying is, and worthy of the fullest acceptance, that ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’! And there is no greater sinner than I!
ili lye lisio lya kyang'ani, lino avanhu vanoghile kukulyupila, kuuti uYeesu Kilisite alisile muiisi avapoke avahosi. muvahosi avuo, une nene muhoka makole kukila vooni.
16 Yet mercy was shown me for the express purpose that Christ Jesus might exhibit in my case, beyond all others, his exhaustless patience, as an example for those who were afterward to believe on him and attain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
kuuti, vwimila une ahufie ulugudo lwake lwooni. pe niive kighwani kuvano vilikumwitika na kukupila uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kisila. (aiōnios g166)
17 To the eternal King, ever-living, invisible, the one God, be ascribed honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
liino uvwoghopua nu vuvaha vuli nu mwene ifighono fyoni, uNtwa un'sila kusila juno uvufue navukumwagha, kange naivoneka, uNguluve ghwe jujuo mwene Ameni. (aiōn g165)
18 This, then, is the charge that I lay on you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with what was predicted of you – Fight the good fight in the spirit of those predictions,
mwnango Timoti, ululaghilo uluo luno nikukupeela, luling'iine na masio amalongosi agha vuvili ghano ghalyajovilue vwimila uve.
19 with faith, and with a clear conscience; and it is because they have thrust this aside, that, as regards the faith, some have wrecked their lives.
amasio aghuo ghakutangaghe kuvomba imbombo ja Nguluve nambe luve lutalamu ndaani, ndaule umulwalilugu unnono vule itenga ililugu nambe liive litalamu ndaani. ugadililaghe ulwitiko na kuuva ni nyivonelo inofu.
20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are instances – the men whom I delivered over to Satan so that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
avanhu avange navivikila mwojo kuvomba sino vasitang'inie kuuti sa kyangani, uluo lukuvapelela kuvuhiila kukumwitika uNguluve. Muvanhu avuo mwale uHimenaayo nu Alekisanda. avuo nimulekile usetano kuuti vamanyile, valekaghe kukum'benapula uNguluve.
