1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope,
Paulo, Mitumi nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kendenkania mlago lang'wi Tunda numuguni witu Yesu Kilisto numugimya witu,
2 to Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kung'wa Timoteo ung'wanane nuatai muuhueli: Nekanda, ukende nuupolo nuupumile kung'wi Tunda Tata nukung'wa Yesu Kilisto Mukulu witu.
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.
Anga naenukupepeeye naenihegile nikenda kumakedonia, usage kuefeso inge kina uhume kuahama iantu angwi alekekumanyisa umanyisi nuungiza.
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.
Hange alekekulegeelya imakumo nuupangi nuaulangi nimagila impelo. Aya isasha kikunguma kukila kuaaelya kulongolesha umupango nuang'wi Tunda nuauhueli.
5 Now the goal of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith.
Inge gwa isigo nelilago ile ulowa nuupumile munkolo ninza, muusigi nuuza numuhueli nuatai.
6 Some people have missed the mark and have turned away from these things to foolish talk.
Ang'wi aantu aliuiye isigo ikaleka uumanyisigwa uwu nukupilukila uligiti nuekepungu.
7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or what they so confidently affirm.
Aloilwe kutula amanyisi amalago, kuile shaaine niakulutambula ang'ei niakulukazela.
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully.
Kuite kuine kina ilago iza angwi umuntu ukulitumila mutaitaii.
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,
Kulengile kina, ilago singaaileikilwe kunsoko amuntu nukele etai, inge kunsoko aunangi ilago niapiluki, antu nesinga akueli hange niakete imilandu agila Itunda hange ashapu (Adobu). Iikilwe kunsoko ao niibulaga Atata niaia ao, kunsoko aabulagi.
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.
Kunsoko akosi, kunsoko aantu niigoolya, kunsoko aawa niiteka iantu nukuatenda atugwa, kunsoko aateele, kunsoko aihengi auteele hangi wihi nukule kensengele nyuma nuulagili nuauhueli.
11 This instruction is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Ulagiili uwu utakanile ninkani ninziza niaukulu wang'wi Tunda nuekembetwa naza kung'wao ehuiwe.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord. He strengthened me, for he considered me faithful, and he placed me into service.
Numulumbeye u Yesu Kilisto Mkulu witu. Aeumpee ngulu, kunsoko aeumbaiye unene kulula numuhueli, hange wikambika muwitumi.
13 I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. But I received mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief.
Aeni muntu numumeli, maji hange muntu numulei. Kuite nikapegwa ukende kunsoko aitendile kuupungu singaainikuie.
14 But the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.
Kuite ukende nuang'wi Tunda witu wizue uuhueli nuulowa nuukole mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
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.
Uutung'wa uwu wauhueli hange unonee usingiligwe niantu ehi, kunsoko u Yesu Kilisto auzile muhe kuguna niamilandu. Une numubii kukila ehi.
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)
Kuite kunsoko eye une aepegilwe ukende nuukati ane unene, kanziilya ehi, u Yesu Kilisto wigeelye ugimya wehi. Autendile ite anga kilingasiilyo kuehi neikamuhuela nuanso kunsoko aupanga nuakale. (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)
Nitungeli kumutemi numugila empelo, nisingaukusha nisingukigela, Itunda ung'wenso, itule ikulyo nuukulu nuakale nakale. Hueli. (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,
Kuleika ilagiilyo ile ntongela ako Timoteo, ng'waane. Kutenda ite kuning'aniilya nuunyakidagu naeupumigwe apo pang'wandyo kunsoko ako. Inge utule mumbita ninza.
19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have shipwrecked their faith.
Tenda uu inge utule nuuhueli ni sigo niza. Ang'wiao niantu amahitile aya ikaulimilya uuhueli.
20 Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I gave over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
Anga ite Himenayo nu Alekizanda ninamupeza umulugu amanyisigwe alekekumumela.
