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].
Paulo, apóstolo de Cristo Jesus segundo o mandado de Deus, nosso Salvador, e do Senhor Jesus Cristo, nossa esperança.
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.
Para Timóteo, [meu] verdadeiro filho na fé. Graça, misericórdia [e] paz da parte de Deus Pai, e de Cristo Jesus, nosso Senhor.
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].
Assim como te roguei quando eu estava indo à Macedônia, fica em Éfeso, para advertires a alguns que não ensinem outra doutrina,
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]).
Nem prestem atenção a mitos nem a genealogias intermináveis, que mais produzem discussões que a administração da parte de Deus na fé.
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].
O fim do mandamento é o amor que vem de um coração puro, e de uma boa consciência, e de uma fé não fingida.
6 There are some people who have turned away from these true teachings. As a result, they [just] discuss what is useless.
Alguns se desviaram dessas coisas, e se entregaram a discursos inúteis;
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).
querendo ser mestres da Lei, mas não entendendo, nem o que dizem, nem o que afirmam.
8 We know that the laws [that God gave to Moses are] good if people consider correctly [what God intended them for].
Nós, porém, sabemos que a Lei é boa, se alguém usa dela legitimamente;
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.
pois sabemos isto: que a Lei não foi feita para o justo, mas sim, para os injustos e insubordinados, para os ímpios e pecadores, para os irreligiosos e profanos, para os matadores dos pais e das mães, para os homicidas,
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.
para os que cometem pecados sexuais, para os homens que efetuam sexualidade com homens, para os que roubam a liberdade das pessoas, para os mentirosos, para os que juram falsamente, e qualquer outra coisa contrária à sã doutrina,
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.
conforme o evangelho da glória do Deus bendito, que foi confiado a mim.
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].
Agradeço àquele que tem me fortalecido, Cristo Jesus, nosso Senhor, porque me considerou fiel, pondo-me no serviço.
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].
Antes eu era um blasfemo, perseguidor, e opressor; porém recebi misericórdia, pois foi por ignorância que eu agia com incredulidade.
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].
Mas a graça do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo foi mais abundante, com a fé e amor que há em Cristo Jesus.
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.
Esta é uma palavra fiel e digna de toda aceitação: que Cristo Jesus veio ao mundo para salvar os pecadores, dos quais eu sou o principal.
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)
Mas por isso me foi concedida misericórdia, para que em mim, o principal, Jesus Cristo mostrasse toda a sua paciência como exemplo aos que haviam de crer nele para a vida eterna. (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)
Ao Rei dos tempos, imortal, invisível, o único Deus, [seja] a honra, e a glória, para todo o sempre, amém! (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].
Este mandamento, filho Timóteo, te dou: que, conforme as profecias antes feitas acerca de ti, que batalhes por elas a boa batalha;
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.
mantendo a fé e a boa consciência, que alguns rejeitaram, e naufragaram na fé.
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.
Dentre esses foram Himeneu e Alexandre. Eu os entreguei a Satanás, para aprenderem a não blasfemar.
