1 Timothy 4
1 [God’s] Spirit has clearly told us that in later times some people will stop believing the [teaching] that [all of us] believe. Instead, they will listen to [evil] spirits who deceive [people. They will also believe the false] doctrines/teachings that [they receive from] these evil spirits.
Rohu Mnanagala katakula pota kufifa handa mumashaka ga upeleru wantu wamonga hawayileki ntumbiru, na wazijimiri rohu zya upaya na kufata mafundu ga washamshera.
2 The people who teach those false doctrines/teachings are liars! And they do not feel at all guilty [MET] [when they teach such teachings]!
Mafundizu ga ntambu ayi gaenezwa na wantu wampayu na wafyangu weni awa uwezu wawu wa kusyagula gaherepa ama gadoda uhalibisiwa gambira shintu shashilunguliti mumotu.
3 [For example], they forbid [believers] to marry [because they say that it makes us unacceptable to God]. They also [command] that people abstain from [eating certain] foods. But God created such foods in order that we can eat them! We who believe [in Christ] know the true [teaching], and we thank [God for the food that he gives us. That is why we] can eat it.
Wantu awa wankufunda kuwera vidoda kuliyuga, na wankuwalewelera wantu kuliya viboga tunga. Kumbiti Mlungu kawumbiti viboga avi, su walii waweri wawamtumbira Mlungu na kuumana unakaka, waviliyi na kulonga mayagashii.
4 [We can eat all kinds of food] because God has created all [food], and it is all good. We should not refuse to eat certain kinds of food if we thank [God for it] when we eat it.
Toziya kila shintu shakashiwumbiti Mlungu ndo shiherepa, na kwahera shakulemwa handa pashwankwa kwa mayagashii,
5 It is acceptable [to God] because God [long ago] said [that all things that he made are good], and because we pray that God will bless it.
toziya shisoweru sha Mlungu na kuluwa vipunga shintu ashi shijimiliki kwa Mlungu.
6 When you teach these things to your fellow believers, you will be showing that you, [whom] Christ Jesus [appointed], serve them well. You will have become strong [spiritually] (by holding fast/by obeying) the true message that [we all] believe.
Handa paguwagambira wajimira wa Kristu malagaliru aga, haguweri ntumintumi muheri gwa Kristu Yesu, pagwendereya kukula shirohu kwa visoweru vya moyu na mafundu ga unakaka gagugafata.
7 You must completely reject godless, silly/foolish stories [from your ancestors that old people tell]. Keep training yourself so that you have more (godly behavior/behavior that pleases God).
Kumbiti gulekani na tambu zya upayira zyazitungitwi gulifundi kulikala makaliru ga kumtira Mlungu.
8 [Some people say], “It helps us in some ways if we exercise our bodies.” But [I say that] people benefit very much if they live (in a godly way/in a way that pleases God), because [if people live in a godly way, that] will benefit them both while they live now and when they live in the future life [in heaven].
Mazoezi ga nshimba gawera na mana yakuwi, kumbiti kulikala kwa kumfiriziya Mlungu kufaa nentu, toziya gatupanana lagilu lya makaliru ga vinu na galii gagiza.
9 Those are words that are absolutely true, and everybody should believe them!
Utakula awu wanakaka nentu na ufaa kujimirwa.
10 This is the reason why we work so hard [DOU] [for others], because we confidently expect that God, who is all-powerful, [will do the things that he has promised]. He is the one who [wants to] save all people, [so he protects them]. He certainly [protects us] who believe [in Christ]!
Twenga twankulitabisiya na kugangamala, toziya tumtumbira Mlungu yakawera mkomu, na yakawera Mlopoziya gwa wantu woseri na walii yawamjimira.
11 Command these things and teach these things.
Guwalagaliri na kuwafundiza vitwatira avi.
12 [Timothy], by the way you conduct your life, show the believers [in your congregation] how they should conduct their lives. Specifically, speak [good things], conduct yourself [well], love [people], trust [God], and be pure in every way. If you do all that, no one will [have any reason] (to belittle/to treat you disrespectfully) because of your being young.
Nagujimira muntu yoseri kakubeziyi toziya gwenga gwa mntemba, kumbiti gugangamali guweri mfanu kwa wantu wawajimira, mukutakula kwaku na mumakaliru gaku na mumafiliru gaku na munjimiru na mumakaliru gaherepa.
13 Until I come, be sure that you read [the Scriptures to the congregation] and that you exhort/urge them [to obey the Scriptures], and teach them.
Mashaka goseri gwendereyi kuwabetulira wantu paweru Malembu Mananagala na kuwaberiziya na kuwafunda mpaka paniza.
14 Do not forget [to use] the [abilities that God] gave to you as a result of [people/us] (prophesying/telling what God revealed to them) [about you], and as a result of the elders putting their hands on you [to commission/appoint you to do God’s work].
Naguleka kutendera lifupu lya Kristu mngati mwaku, lyaguwankiti kwa umbuyi wa Mlungu na kwa kutulilwa mawoku na wazewi wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu
15 Do these things [that I have told] you to do! (Concentrate on them/Do them [sincerely and] wholeheartedly) in order that everyone may see that you are improving [in how you do them].
Guliholi weri toziya vitwatira avi na lihengu lyaku ntambu lyaliyongereka su kila muntu kawoni gagugatenda.
16 Be careful that you [conduct] yourself well. By continuing to do that, you will save yourself. And if you continue [to teach the good] doctrine/teaching, the result of your teaching will be that [God] will save the people who listen to you.
Guliloli weri gumweni pamuhera na mafundu gaku. Gwendereyi kugatenda aga toziya pagutenda hangu, hagulilopoziyi gumweni na walii yawakupakinira.
