1 Timothy 1
1 PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;
Njame, Paulo walakwiwa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu mukupewa mulawo ne Lesa Mupulushi wetu, ne Klistu Yesu uyo ngotwacinkamo manungo,
2 to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.
ndalembelenga obe Timoti mwaname mwine mwine mulushomo. Ndambangeti kwina moyo inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa ne Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu bibe nenjobe.
3 When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;
Mpondalikuya ku Makedoniya, ndalakupa malailile akwambeti wikale ku Efenso kwambeti ukanishenga bantu nabambi baleyishinga ciyisho cabwepeshi.
4 and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.
Kayi ubambileti kabatatayanga cindi cabo ku tulabi twabakulukulu tulambanga sha masemano. Ibi biliya ncito bikute kuletowa kutotekeshana, nkabikute kwiyishapo sobwe, bilayandanga Lesa bikute kwishibikwa mulushomo.
5 Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.
Ncondakupelenga malailile awa ni kwambeti ubayishe lusuno lwa ncinencine lulafumunga mu moyo waswepa, kayi kuba ne muntu wamukati waina ne lushomo lwa ncinencine.
6 But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;
Bantu nabambi balashiyi mukondo, balataiki ne kuya kuliwala mu makani abula ncito.
7 because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.
Balayandishishinga kuba beshikwiyisha bantu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose, nomba nkabacishi ncobalambanga ne kushininkisha ico ncobaleyishinga.
8 Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law,
Afwe twashoma kwambeti Milawo yaina na muntu kaisebensesha munshila yalumbuluka.
9 he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,
Tucishi kwambeti milawo iliya kubelako cebo ca muntu walulama, nsombi yalabelako kululamika beshi kupwaya milawo, batasuni kululamikwa, kayi batatini Lesa. Ba micito yaipa, baipa myoyo kayi batapaili, beshikushina bashali babo, bakapondo,
10 and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,
bapombo, batuloba beshikona ne batuloba banabo, beshikula ne kulisha bantu, bandemishibili, beshikulumbila cabwepeshi munkuta, kayi beshi kwinsa ciliconse capusana ne ciyisho calumbuluka.
11 namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
Ici ciyisho cikute kucanika mu Mulumbe Waina Lesa Walemekwa welela kulumbaishiwa, uwo ngwalabika mumakasa akame.
12 And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;
Ndalumbunga Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu walampa ngofu ne kunsala kwambeti ndimusebensele, cebo ca kuba washomekwa.
13 me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith.
Nikukabeti ndalikusampula Lesa nekupensha bantu ba Lesa, nsombi Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo pakwinga paliya ncendalikwishiba nkandalikukute lushomo sobwe.
14 And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah.
Nomba Mwami wetu walanyumfwila nkumbo shinene, ndalatambula lushomo ne lusuno kupitila mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
15 Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.
Maswi akwambeti Klistu Yesu walesa pa cishi capanshi kwisa kupulusha bantu babwipishi nakubinga kayi elela kutambulwa ca makasa abili, pa bantu bonse baipa ame ndaipa kupita bonse.
16 But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Nikukabeco Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo kwambeti kupitila muli njame ondaipa kupita bonse, Klistu Yesu aleshe kwikalika nkombe kwakendi, kwambeti mbe citondesho kulyabo beti bakamushome kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
17 And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Lino ku Mwami wa cindi conse, utafu kayi utaboneke Lesa enka, kube bulemu ne kulumbaishiwa kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
18 This injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,
Timoti mwaname, ndakupa malailile awa kwelana ne maswi abashinshimi alambwa pali njobe, wasebensesheti byensho, kwambeti ukacikonshe kulwana nkondo yaina.
19 in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;
Kayi pitilisha kuba ne lushomo kayi miyeyo yalulama. iyo nabambi njobalanyakili pambali ibyo bilapasulu lushomo lwabo.
20 like Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.
Pakati pa bantu balico pali Humenayo ne Alekisandulo, bantu aba ndabapa cisubulo ne kubanyakila mu bwendeleshi bwa Satana, kwambeti bakaleke kusampula Lesa.
