1 Timothy 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter. You know that] I am an apostle. I [represent] Christ Jesus because God and Christ Jesus commanded me to do it. God is the one who saved us, and Jesus is the one for whom we are confidently waiting [to return].
Dari Paulus, rasul Kristus Yesus menurut perintah Allah, Juruselamat kita, dan Kristus Yesus, dasar pengharapan kita,
2 [You], Timothy, [are like] [MET] a true son [to me] because [you] trusted [in Christ after I told you about him]. [I pray/desire that] God, who is our Father, and Christ Jesus, who is our Lord, will [continue to act] kindly and mercifully to you, and [that they will give you inner] peace.
kepada Timotius, anakku yang sah di dalam iman: kasih karunia, rahmat dan damai sejahtera dari Allah Bapa dan Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita, menyertai engkau.
3 [I urge you now], just like I urged you when I was going to Macedonia [province], that you remain there in Ephesus [city]. Stay there so that you may command certain persons [who teach other believers] that they not teach false [doctrines].
Ketika aku hendak meneruskan perjalananku ke wilayah Makedonia, aku telah mendesak engkau supaya engkau tinggal di Efesus dan menasihatkan orang-orang tertentu, agar mereka jangan mengajarkan ajaran lain
4 And tell people to not continually give their attention to stories [that tell about our ancestors], stories in which there are (genealogies/lists of our ancestors’ names) that [seem to be] endless. [You must command your congregation not to think that these stories are valuable], because [whenever people think] that, they [just] start arguing about things uselessly, instead of [teaching] God’s plan, which [is concerned with] what we believe (OR, which [we know because] we trust [in Christ]).
ataupun sibuk dengan dongeng dan silsilah yang tiada putus-putusnya, yang hanya menghasilkan persoalan belaka, dan bukan tertib hidup keselamatan yang diberikan Allah dalam iman.
5 [Teach them] to have pure desires [MTY] and [so to know that God] approves of what they do, and to sincerely believe [the true teaching]. By doing that, [they will] love [God well].
Tujuan nasihat itu ialah kasih yang timbul dari hati yang suci, dari hati nurani yang murni dan dari iman yang tulus ikhlas.
6 There are some people who have turned away from these true teachings. As a result, they [just] discuss what is useless.
Tetapi ada orang yang tidak sampai pada tujuan itu dan yang sesat dalam omongan yang sia-sia.
7 They desire to teach the laws [that God gave to Moses], but they do not understand what they are really saying, or the things about which they (confidently speak/say that they understand well).
Mereka itu hendak menjadi pengajar hukum Taurat tanpa mengerti perkataan mereka sendiri dan pokok-pokok yang secara mutlak mereka kemukakan.
8 We know that the laws [that God gave to Moses are] good if people consider correctly [what God intended them for].
Kita tahu bahwa hukum Taurat itu baik kalau tepat digunakan,
9 We must remember that God did not give Moses those laws in order [to condemn] righteous people. By those laws he [condemns people who act as though there were no] laws and who refuse to obey [anyone. He condemns] those who do not revere God and those who sin habitually. [By them he condemns] those who refuse to perform rituals that are pleasing to God and who show no respect for religion. [He condemns] those who murder their fathers and who murder their mothers and who murder [other] people.
yakni dengan keinsafan bahwa hukum Taurat itu bukanlah bagi orang yang benar, melainkan bagi orang durhaka dan orang lalim, bagi orang fasik dan orang berdosa, bagi orang duniawi dan yang tak beragama, bagi pembunuh bapa dan pembunuh ibu, bagi pembunuh pada umumnya,
10 [He condemns] those who are sexually immoral and those who are homosexuals. [He condemns] those who kidnap/steal people [in order to make them slaves]. [He condemns] those who lie and those who promise something strongly but do not do what they promised. He condemns every other action that is contrary to our true teaching.
bagi orang cabul dan pemburit, bagi penculik, bagi pendusta, bagi orang makan sumpah dan seterusnya segala sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan ajaran sehat
11 This is what we teach people when we tell them the glorious/wonderful message about Christ that our awesome God [has revealed] and that he gave to me to teach.
yang berdasarkan Injil dari Allah yang mulia dan maha bahagia, seperti yang telah dipercayakan kepadaku.
12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord who enabled me to do this work, because he considered that I could be trusted. So he appointed me in order that I [would serve him].
Aku bersyukur kepada Dia, yang menguatkan aku, yaitu Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita, karena Ia menganggap aku setia dan mempercayakan pelayanan ini kepadaku--
13 Formerly I said evil things [about him], I caused [his people] to suffer, and I acted very cruelly toward them. But [Christ acted] in a kind way toward me since I (acted ignorantly/did not know that I was doing wrong) because I did not believe [in him].
aku yang tadinya seorang penghujat dan seorang penganiaya dan seorang ganas, tetapi aku telah dikasihani-Nya, karena semuanya itu telah kulakukan tanpa pengetahuan yaitu di luar iman.
14 Our Lord kindly did for me what I did not deserve, so that I now believe [in Christ Jesus] and I love others (OR, him) [because I belong to him].
Malah kasih karunia Tuhan kita itu telah dikaruniakan dengan limpahnya kepadaku dengan iman dan kasih dalam Kristus Yesus.
15 [Something that all we believers] say is certainly true and is worthy for us to fully accept is that Christ Jesus came into the world in order to save sinful people [so that God would not punish them for their sins]. As for me, I [consider that I have sinned] more than all others.
Perkataan ini benar dan patut diterima sepenuhnya: "Kristus Yesus datang ke dunia untuk menyelamatkan orang berdosa," dan di antara mereka akulah yang paling berdosa.
16 Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me in order that he might demonstrate [to people that he is perfectly patient with them]. He did that by his being patient with me, one who has sinned worse than everyone else. He wanted what he did for me (to be an example/to demonstrate his patience) to people who would [later] believe in him, and as a result would live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Tetapi justru karena itu aku dikasihani, agar dalam diriku ini, sebagai orang yang paling berdosa, Yesus Kristus menunjukkan seluruh kesabaran-Nya. Dengan demikian aku menjadi contoh bagi mereka yang kemudian percaya kepada-Nya dan mendapat hidup yang kekal. (aiōnios g166)
17 I desire that people will honor and praise the only [true] God forever! Even though no one can see him, he is the King who rules for all time, who will never die! (Amen!/That is true!) (aiōn g165)
Hormat dan kemuliaan sampai selama-lamanya bagi Raja segala zaman, Allah yang kekal, yang tak nampak, yang esa! Amin. (aiōn g165)
18 Timothy, you [are like] [MET] a son [to me]. So, (based on/in accordance with) what [someone] previously (prophesied/told what God revealed to them) about you, I am instructing you [to strongly oppose those who teach false doctrines. You should oppose them like] [MET] a soldier (fights strongly against/opposes) [those who attack his countrymen].
Tugas ini kuberikan kepadamu, Timotius anakku, sesuai dengan apa yang telah dinubuatkan tentang dirimu, supaya dikuatkan oleh nubuat itu engkau memperjuangkan perjuangan yang baik dengan iman dan hati nurani yang murni.
19 Continue to believe [the true teaching] and do only what you know to be right! Remember that some people have (pushed aside/rejected) the true teaching. As a result, they no longer believe [MET] what is true.
Beberapa orang telah menolak hati nuraninya yang murni itu, dan karena itu kandaslah iman mereka,
20 Among the ones who have done that are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I put in the hands of Satan, in order that [when Satan punishes them] they may learn not to teach wrong teaching.
di antaranya Himeneus dan Aleksander, yang telah kuserahkan kepada Iblis, supaya jera mereka menghujat.
