1 Timothy 4
1 Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith—that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons—
Mpungu msopi ijova hotohoto kuvya magono gamwishu vandu vangi yati vakuyileka kutali sadika, yati vakuuyidakila mpungu ukonganu na kulanda mawuliwu ga mizuka.
2 in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, [of demons] cauterised in their own conscience, —
Mawuliwu ngati ago gidandaswa na vandu vaudese vahomela, ndi mtima wavi wa kukumbuka kuhenga gabwina ufwili uvili ngati utinyiswi na lyuma la motu.
3 Forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;
Vandu venavo ndi viwula kuvya ndi kubuda kugega na kulya vyakulya nunuyu. Nambu Chapanga awumbili vyakulya vyenivyo, muni vala vevavili vasadika na vevibwela kuumanya uchakaka, vakotoka kutumila kwa kusengusa Chapanga.
4 Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, —
Chindu chochoha cheawumbili Chapanga ndi chabwina, kawaka chechiganikiwa kubelelewa, ndi vyoha vipokelewa kwa kumsengusa Chapanga,
5 For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,
Ndava muni lilovi la Chapanga na kumuyupa Chapanga chikita chindu chenicho chiyidikiwa kwa Chapanga.
6 These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.
Ngati ukavadandaulila vandu voha malagizu ago, wivya wamuhengaji wabwina wa Kilisitu Yesu, na yati mwiyendelela kukula musadika kwa malovi ga sadika na mawuliwu gachakaka geugalandili.
7 But, from the profane and old-wives’ stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;
Nambu bela luhumu za kadeni zezivi lepi za Chapanga zangalimana, jiyovalesa wumi wa kumuyupa Chapanga.
8 For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, —having, promise, of life—the present and the coming.
Kujigolosa kwa higa gana utangatila waki, nambu gachimtima gana utangatila uvaha, muni gakutipela huvalila la wumi muwumi wa hinu na wewibwela.
9 Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;
Lilovi lenili ndi la chakaka na liganikiwa kuyidakilwa na kusadikika neju.
10 For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men—specially, of such as believe.
Tete tikangamala na kukita lihengu kwa makakala muni, timvikili huvalila yitu Chapanga mweavili wumi wa msangula wa vandu voha, neju vala vevakumsadika.
11 Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: —
Vapela malagizu ago na mawuliwu ago.
12 Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, —in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.
Kotoka kuyidakila kuveveswa na mundu yoyoha ndava muni veve wamsongolo, nambu kangamala uvya luhumu wa vevisadika, mukujova kwaku, mwenendu waku, uganu sadika na wumi wabwina.
13 While I am coming, be giving heed—to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:
Hengela lukumbi lwaku na kukangamala kwaku kujiwula Mayandiku Gamsopi, kukokosa na kuwula, mbaka penibwela.
14 Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.
Kotoka kuleka kutumila njombi ya Mpungu Msopi wa Kilisitu mugati yaku cheupewili kwa malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga na kwa kuvikiwa mawoko na vagogo.
15 These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:
Holalela neju ndava ya ago na ujiwusa wamwene mulihengu lenilo, muni kuyendelela kwaku kulolekana na vandu voha.
16 Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, —abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.
Jiyangalila wamwene cheutama na ndava ya gala geukugawula. Yendelela kukita ago, muni ukakita chenicho, yati ukujisangula wamwene na vala vevakuyuwanila.
