1 Timothy 1

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

Na Paora, na te apotoro a Ihu Karaiti, he mea whakarite e te Atua, e to tatou Kaiwhakaora, e Ihu Karaiti hoki, ko ia ta tatou e tumanako atu nei;

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

Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti pono i roto i te whakapono: kia tau atu te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.

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

I whakahau atu ra ahau ki a koe, i ahau e haere ana ki Makeronia, kia noho koe i Epeha, ako ai i etahi kia kaua e rere ke te whakaako,

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; —

Kia kaua e whakarongo ki nga korero tito noa, ki nga whakapapa tupuna kahore nei e whai mutunga; ko nga putanga ake o ena, he tautohetohe, kahore he whakatupu mo te tikanga a te Atua i runga i te whakapono; ka pera ano ahau inaianei.

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

Ko te tukunga iho ia mo te ako, ko te aroha, no roto i te ngakau ma, i te hinengaro pai, i te whakapono tinihangakore.

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

Kapea ake enei e etahi, kotiti ke ana ki nga korero teka noa;

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

Ki ta ratou hei kaiwhakaako ratou i te ture, heoi kahore e matau ki ta ratou e korero nei, ki nga mea ranei e kauwhautia nei e ratou.

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

Otira, e matau ana tatou he mea pai te ture, ki te rite te meatanga e te tangata ki ta te ture tikanga;

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,

E matau ana hoki ki tenei, kihai te ture i whakatakotoria mo te tangata tika, engari mo te hunga turekore, tutu, karakiakore, hara, tapukore, whakarihariha, mo nga kaipatu i nga papa, mo nga kaipatu i nga whaea, mo nga kaikohuru tangata,

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

Mo te hunga moepuku, moe kino i te tane, tahae tangata, korero teka, oati teka, a ki te mea tera atu tetahi mea kahore nei e rite ki te whakaako tika;

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

Rite tonu tenei ki te rongopai o te kororia o te Atua hari, ki te mea kua tukua mai nei ki ahau.

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

E whakawhetai atu nei ahau ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki to tatou Ariki, nana nei ahau i whakakaha; i whakaaro hoki ia he tangata pono ahau, a meinga ana ahau hei minita;

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

Ahau nei, te tangata kohukohu i mua, te kaiwhakatoi, whakatupu kino: heoi i tohungia ahau, no te mea i meinga kuwaretia e ahau i runga i te whakaponokore:

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

Tino nui rawa hoki te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, hui tahi ki te whakapono, ki te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

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;—

He pono te korero, he pai hoki kia tangohia rawatia, I haere mai a Karaiti Ihu ki te ao ki te whakaora i te hunga hara; ko te tino tangata hara o ratou ko ahau.

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)

Heoi na konei ahau i tohungia ai, kia ai ko ahau ki mua hei whakaaturanga ma Ihu Karaiti i nga manawanui maha, hei tohu ki te hunga e whakapono ki a ia a muri ake nei, kia ora tonu ai ratou. (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)

Na, ki te Kingi ora tonu, e kore nei e pirau, e kore nei e kitea, ko ia nei anake te Atua matau, waiho atu i a ia te honore me te kororia ake ake. Amine. (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.

Ka tukua atu nei e ahau tenei kupu ako ki a koe, e taku tamaiti, e Timoti, ko te poropititanga ano tenei i puta mai i mua mou, hei mea i a koe kia whawhai i te whawhai pai;

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

Kia mau ki te whakapono me te hinengaro pai; he mea nei ena kua akiritia atu e etahi, ka meinga to ratou whakapono he kaipuke pakaru:

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

No ratou a Haimeniu raua ko Arehanera, kua tukua nei e ahau ki a Hatana, kia whakaakona ai kia kaua e kohukohu.
