< 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.
Eshi Opepo ayanga pazeluzelu huje ehale zihweza bhamo bhaileha apinza nabhe maso atejeze opepo ezilenka na manyizye nuhala omwilu gagaifudiziwa agilenga malibho
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]!
esebho zyabho zyaigaluzanyiwa.
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.
Waiwazijila aweje naposhele evyale huje Ongolobhe abhombele vitumishe asalifye wamo bhabho bhaposhela nabhe bhamenye lyoli.
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.
Kila hatu hahahweli Ongolobhe abhombelehiza. Nahamo hasatiposhela asalifye hahahwazihwa akhanwe.
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.
Hwa huje shibhozewa ashilile izu lya Ngolobhe na hudala elya eputo.
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.
Kashile ubhagabheshe amanongwa ega hwitagalila lya aholo, obhabhe tumwa omwiza wa Yesu Kristi. Kashile bhalevizye hunongwa ye winza nahuje amanyizye aminza goga fwata.
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).
Lakini zihane evilale vya msii vila vyeviganwa na bhashe agogolo afumepo manyila wewe owiza.
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].
Hwa huje amazoezi agebele gawaziwa hashee huje uwinza gawaziwa eshihumambo goti. Abheshe ahadi husiku izya sheshinagala gagahwiza.
9 Those are words that are absolutely true, and everybody should believe them!
Amazu ega gaposhelelwe uwaziwa ahwiteshelwe hanii.
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]!
Hwa huje diomana titeseha natibhomba embombo ahwitume sana hwahuje tilinao odandamazu ashilile Ongolobhe alimwomi omwene ofyozi wabhantu bhoti, lakini huje bhabha huposhela.
11 Command these things and teach these things.
Ogayanje na abhamanyizye amambo ego.
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.
Omuntu wowonti sahwaziwa ahwisye osahala waho. Afumepo obheshilole zyo hwabhonti bhabha huposhela, katika ayanje, ajende, aganane, owinza na ahwiyozye.
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.
Mpaka penaihweza khalaga amanyile naasundane, naamanyizye.
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].
Ugajehwewe eshibhonesyezyo sheshili mhati yaho huje wapewilwe ashilile okho wa huje abheshelwe amakhono nazee.
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].
Ogenye amambo ega. Ukhale katika ego akule hwaho hubhe wazi hwabhantu bhonti. Oyenyaje sana idala lyabho na manyizye.
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.
Khalaga mamambo ego. Maana pobhombesho obhahwifyole umwene na bhala bhabha hutejezya.
