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].
Nuus ufayss gidida yesus kiristtoossaninne nuna ashshida Xoossa azazon, Yesuss kiristtoossay kiittida Phawuloossape.
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.
Ammanon taas tumu naa gidida Ximttoossas Xoossa nu Aawape nu Goda Yesus kiristtoossape kiyateth, maarotethine saroy nees gido.
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].
Tani Maqqidonyya bashe nena hadara gida mala hayssafe sinththan issi issi asati wordo timirtte tamarssontta mala ne azazana mala Efesoonen daasha.
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]).
Qassekka asay yootin wurontta beni wode hayssu7en ba wode wurssontta mala azaza. Heyta mala yooy palama denthethes atin ammanon oothetiza xoossa oothos aykkoka go7ena.
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].
Ha azazoozas waana ayfe yooy gidikko geeshsha wozinape loo7o qofara hessathoka tumu ammanope beettiza siiqo.
6 There are some people who have turned away from these true teachings. As a result, they [just] discuss what is useless.
Issi issi asay haytape pooqqeti eqqidi go7ay bayndda yootakko simmides.
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).
Woga tamarssizayta gidana mala koyetes. Gidikkoka istti ba yootizayssa woykko keehi moottetiza yooza lo7ethi ereetena.
8 We know that the laws [that God gave to Moses are] good if people consider correctly [what God intended them for].
Gido attin asi maaran goetizakko wogay lo7o gididayssa nu eroos.
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.
Qassekka wogay immetiday xiillo asas gidontta woga yedhdhi aadhdhizaytas, azazetonttaytas, Xoossas babbonttaytass, nagaranchatas, geeshshateth bayinddaytas, Xoossu leeqqizaytas, ba Aayone ba Aawa wodhdhizaytasine shemppo wodhdhizaytas gididayssa nu eroos.
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.
Hessathokka laymmatizaytas, addera aqqiza addistas, ase bayzizaytasine shaammizaytas, wordanchatas, asatas wordora caaqqizaytas, loo7o timirttera eqqettiza wurssootaskko.
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.
He loo7o timirttey anjjetida Xoossi taas hadara immida boncho miishshirachcho qaalara gaaggizayssako.
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].
Tana ba oothos shuumidine ammanetizade oothi ekkidine taas miinoteth immida nu Goda Yesuss Kiristtoossa ta galatayss.
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].
Hayssafe kase ta ay mala ase cayizzadene goodeththizade, qasse makkali7a as gidikkoka hessa ta eroonttane ammanontta dashe oothida gish Xoossi tana maarides.
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].
Yesuss Kiristtoossape gidida ammanorane siiqora nu Goda kiyatethi taas keezi darides.
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.
Yesuss Kiristtossay nagaranchata ashshanaas duge hayssa ha alame yides giza qaalay tumane asi wurkka ekkanas bessizayssako. Nagaranchatapekka aadhdhiza nagaranchay tanako.
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)
Gido attin ta maaretidaykka Yesuss Kiristtoossay zaway bayindda ba dandda7a, wurssofe aadhdhida nagarancha gidida ta bolla beessiday izan ammananaytasine medhina deyo deemmanaytas leemuso gidana malako. (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)
Hessa gish medhinas hayqqi eroontta, ayhaaththaen beeti eroontta berkka xaalla Xoossu gidida kawoos medhdhinape medhdhina gakkanaas izas bonchoyine galatay gido. Ammiinn77i. (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].
Ta naa Ximttosa ne gish kasetidi yootettida mala hayssa azazoza ta nees immadis. Hessikka ne he qaala kaalashe loo7o baaxe baaxistanasskko.
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.
Ammanoyine loo7o qofay nees deyo. Issi issi asati ba loo7o qofa yeedhdhi adhdhidi abba bolla metoy iza bolla gakkin waayetiza markkabe mala ba ammano dhayiissida.
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.
Istta giidon xoossa caashsh aggidi tamarana mala tani xalaes aatha immidayti Nemenewoossayine Iskkinddirossay deetes.
