1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus—by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope, —

Ma sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus fal nu ke sap lun God Mwet Lango lasr, ac Christ Jesus, su mwe finsrak lasr —

2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nu sel Timothy, tulik pwaye nutik in lulalfongi: Lungkulang, pakoten ac misla nu sum sin God Papa, ac Christ Jesus Leum lasr.

3 Even as I exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some—

Nga lungse kom in mutana Ephesus, oana ke nga tuh kwafe sum ke nga fahsr in som nu Macedonia. Kutu sin mwet we ah elos luti ke mwe luti sutuu, ac kom enenu in sap elos in tui.

4 Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, —the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; —

Fahk nu selos elos in tia sisla pacl lalos ke sramsram matu lusrongten lalos, oayapa ke tak sou loeloes ke fwil matu lalos su mwe na purakak akukuin, ac tia ma ac kasru mwet nu ke orekma lun God, su ma ke lulalfongi mukena.

5 Now, the end of the charge, is love—out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, —

Sripen sap ku se inge ma in mokleak lungse, su tuku ke inse nasnas ac elah wo ac lulalfongi pwaye.

6 Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,

Kutu mwet uh forla liki ma inge ac kuhfla nu ke kaskas lusrongten.

7 Desiring to be law-teachers, —not understanding, either what they say or whereof they confidently affirm.

Elos lungse tuh elos in mwet luti ke ma sap lun God, a elos tia kalem ke ma elos sifacna fahk, ku ke kalmen ma elos lulalfongi yohk kac.

8 Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: —

Kut etu lah Ma Sap uh wo, fin orekmakinyuk oana ma oakwuk nu kac.

9 Knowing this—that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,

Kut enenu in esam lah ma sap uh tia orekla nu sin mwet suwoswos, a ma nu sin mwet su kunaus ma sap, mwet orekma koluk, mwet su nikin God, mwet koluk, mwet tia etu alu, mwet pilesru ma lun ngun, mwet su uniya papa ac nina, mwet akmas,

10 fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, —and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; —

mwet kosro, mukul ma oru ouiya sufal nu sin mukul, mwet su kukakin mwet tuh elos in mwet kohs, mwet kaskas kikiap ac mwet orek loh kikiap, ac kutepacna mwet su oru ma in lain mwe luti pwaye.

11 According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

Mwe luti inge oasr ke Wosasu se su ituku nu sik in fahkak, aok Pweng Wolana sin God su fal in kaksakinyuk.

12 Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, —

Nga sang kulo nu sin Christ Jesus Leum lasr, su akkeyeyu ke orekma luk. Nga sang kulo nu sel tuh el oekyu mu nga fal ac el srisrngiyuwi in kulansap nu sel,

13 Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:

nga finne sie mwet su fahk kas koluk kacl in pacl meet, ac sie su akkolukye ac kalyei orekma lal. Tusruktu God El pakoten nu sik mweyen nga oru ma inge in ninikin, ac in selulalfongi luk.

14 Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Ac Leum lasr el akkalemye lungkulang yoklana lal nu sik, ac ase nu sik lulalfongi ac lungse, su ma lasr ke kut kupasryang yurin Christ Jesus.

15 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy, —that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I;—

Kas pwaye se pa inge, su fal in porongeyuk ac lulalfongiyuk: tuh Christ Jesus el tuku nu faclu in molela mwet koluk. Ac nga koluk yohk lukelos nukewa,

16 Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, —that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

tusruktu pa inge sripa se God El pakoten nu sik, in akkalemye lupan muteng lun Christ Jesus nu sik, su koluk liki mwet koluk nukewa, tuh in mwe srikasrak nu selos su ac mau lulalfongi in el ke pacl tok, ac eis moul ma pahtpat. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now, unto the King of the ages, —incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen! (aiōn g165)

Inge, nu sin Tokosra se su moul ma pahtpat, su ac tia misa ac su koflana in liyeyuk, God sefanna — in kaksakinyuk ac akfulatyeyuk El ma pahtpat ac ma pahtpat! Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.

Timothy, ma nutik, nga filiya kas in kai inge nu sum, su fal nu ke kas in palu ma fwack keim in pacl meet ah. Orekmakin kas inge in oana kufwen mwe mweun tuh kom fah mweun wo,

19 Holding faith and a good conscience, —which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: —

ac sruokya lulalfongi lom oayapa elah wo in kom. Kutu mwet uh tia taran elah wo in elos, pwanang lulalfongi lalos kunausyukla, oana soko oak ma musalla in meoa uh.

20 Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

Ac luo selos pa Hymenaeus ac Alexander, su nga kaeltal ke nga eisaltalang nu ke ku lun Satan; ac ma inge ac lotelos in tia sifil kaskas enum lain God.
