1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope,
Nne Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu Bhaatapula na a Yeshu bhali ngulupalilo yetu.
2 to Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ngunakunnjandishila mmwe a Timoteo mmanangu bha kweli nngulupai. Ngunakunnjujila nema na shiya na ulele, kukopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
3 As I urged you to do when I was leaving for Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you can command certain people not to teach a different doctrine.
Ngunaapinga ntame ku Epesho, malinga shinanshondelesheye punajendaga ku Makedonia, nkupinga mwaalimbiyanje bhandunji bhaajiganyanga majiganyo ga unami,
4 Neither should they pay attention to stories and endless genealogies. These cause arguments rather than helping the plan of God, which is by faith.
wala bhanakagulilanje ndango yangali malombolelo, na nndondonga gwa mena ga bhanyikala, gwangali mpelo, ikumbuya mitau na wala ikakwaajangutilanga bhandunji nngulupai.
5 Now the goal of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith.
Kwa nneyo, shitumbililwe kwa gene malajiloga, nikwaakwiyanga bhandunji bhapingananje, kwa ntima gwa mmbone, na ng'aniyo ya muntima ili ya mmbone, na ngulupai yangali ugulumba.
6 Some people have missed the mark and have turned away from these things to foolish talk.
Bhandu bhananji bhashipuganikanga ni tendebhushila malobhe gangali ga mmbone.
7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or what they so confidently affirm.
Bhanapinganga kubha bhaajiganya bha malajilo ga a Musha, ikabheje bhakakugamanyanga malobhe gubhaabheleketanga, wala ibhakong'ondelanga.
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully.
Tumumanyi kuti shalia ja a Musha ni ja mmbone, ibhaga mundu shaakagulile kwa aki.
9 We know this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for a lawless and rebellious people, for ungodly people and sinners, and for those who are godless and profane. It is made for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
Ikabheje tukumbushile kuti, shalia jangabhikwa kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhanguja, ikabhe kwa ligongo lya bhandunji bhaatendanga yangali ya mmbone, na bhakaakundanga, na bhakakwaishimiyanga a Nnungu, na bhakwetenje yambi, na bhandunji bhanyatiyanga indu ya ukonjelo pa shilambolyo, na bhandunji bhakwaabhulaganga bhaakwetenje, eu bhaabhulaganga bhobhowe bhala,
10 for sexually immoral people, for homosexuals, for those who kidnap people for slaves, for liars, for false witnesses, and for whatever else is against faithful instruction.
shalia jishibhikwa kwa ligongo lya bha labhalabha, na bhaagonana ashaayene, yani, bhanabhalume kwa bhanabhalume, na bhanabhakongwe kwa bhanabhakongwe, bhandunji bhaajibhanga bhandu, na bhandunji bha unami, na bhandunji bhaalumbilanga kwa unami, na bhaatendanga shindu shoshowe shikana malajilo ga kweli.
11 This instruction is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Gene majiganyogo mugaabhoneka, Nngani ja Mmbone ja a Nnungu bha ukonjelo na bha mboka, jimbegwilwe nunguye.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord. He strengthened me, for he considered me faithful, and he placed me into service.
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Yeshu Kilishitu bhambele mashili ga kamula liengo lyangu. Ngunakwaatendela eja pabha bhashimona nne kuti najwaakulupalilwa, gubhang'agwile naatendele liengo lyabho,
13 I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. But I received mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.
nkali bhukala gula, natendaga kwaatukana na kwaashima, na kwaatendela nngomo. Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhamonele shiya, pabha ngakweteje ngulupai na ngashimanyaga shingutenda.
14 But the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.
Ikabheje Bhakulungwa bhetu bhashinkumba nema ja punda, gubhambele ngulupai na pingana, nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
15 This message is reliable and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of these.
Ni lilobhe lya kulupalika kaje, na linapinjikwa liposhelwe kuti, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhashinkwiya pa shilambolyo kukwaatapulanga bhakwetenje ilebho. Na nne, ni napundile kulebha punda bhowenji,
16 But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all patience. He did this as an example for those who would trust in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ikabheje a Nnungu gubhamonele shiya nkupinga a Kilishitu bhalanguye kwiipililila kwabho kowe mwangu nne naaliji nankulebha kupunda bhowe, nkupinga nne mme jwa langulwa ku bhandunji bhowe, shibhajiye kwaakulupalilanga na poshela gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the king of the ages, the immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kwa bhenebho bhali a Mpalume bha pitipiti, bhakawa na bhakaabhoneka, bhene bhali a Nnungu jikape, kwa bhenebho jibhe ishima, na ukonjelo pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn g165)
18 I am placing this command before you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that you might fight the good fight,
Mwanangu Timoteo, ngunakupa gene malajilo gano, malinga malobhe gunabhalanjilwe bhukala na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu. Ugatende gene malobhego gabhe shikomanilo shako nkukomana ukoto ngondo jako.
19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have shipwrecked their faith.
Ukole ngulupai na ng'aniyo ya mmbone. Bhandunji bhana gubhaikanilenje ng'aniyo yabhonji, niobhiya ngulupai yabhonji.
20 Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I gave over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
Munkumbi gwabhonji bhapalinji, a Imeneyo na a Alekishanda, bhene bhunimpele Lishetani, nkupinga bhaajiganywanje bhanaatukananje a Nnungu kabhili.
