1 Timothy 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons;
Lino Muuya ulaamba entanganana kuti muzyiindi ziyotobela bamwi bantu bayosiya lusyomo alimwi bakaswiilile myuuya yalweeneeno akunjiisyo zyabadayimona
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
mukubeja kwakuupawupa, mamvwido aabo beni kaali asizigwa.
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth.
Bayokasya bantu kuti bakwatane alimwi akuyanda kuti balilesye kuzilyo Leza nzyakalenga kuti zitambulwe chakupa kulumba abaabo basyoma akuziba kasimpe.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving:
Nkaambo choonse chilengwa chaLeza nchibotu, alimwi takwe pe chitambwidwe kakulikupa kulumba chiyokakwa.
5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Nkaambo chakasalazigwa ajwi lyaLea ankombyo.
6 If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.
Na wabika eezi zintu kunembo lyabakwesu, uyooba mulanda mubotu wa Jesu Kkilisito. Nkaambo mulikukomezegwa amajwi alusyomo alimwi akunjiisyo mbotu nzimwakatobela.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather to godliness.
Pesi amukake twaano twanyika twakayandwa aabanakazi bapati. Aboobo, amukaliyiisye nobeni mubunaleza.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Nkaambo kuliyiisya kwamumubili kuli empindu nini, pesi bunaLeza bulabelesegwa kuzintu zyoonse. Kujisi chisyomezyo chabuumi bwalino alimwi akubuumi buza.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
Mulumbe ooyu ulisyomekede alimwi uleelede kutambulwa kuzwide.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe.
Nkaambo nkinkaako nchitubeleka akulwisya. Nkaambo tulalangilila muliLeza muumi, Mufutuli wabantu boonse, pesi ikapati wabasyomi.
11 These things command and teach.
Mubululami layilila alimwi yiisya zintu eezi.
12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Kutabi muntu uulangilila aansi bukubusi bwako. Aboobo, kulibaabo basyoma, ba chitondezyo mukwaambula, mukuchita, muluyando, mukusyoma a mubusalali.
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Mane do ndisike, kkala mukubala, mukulumbayizya alimwi a mukuyiisya.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Utalekeleli chipo chili mulinduwe, chakapegwa kulinduwe kwiinda muchisinsim, akubikwa maanza abapati bembungano.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Bamba zintu eezi. Ba mulinzizyo, kuti kuzwidilila kwako kukaboneke kubantu boonse.
16 Take heed to thyself, and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
Kolibamba chakulangisisya lwako mwini akukuyiisya. Kkalilila muzintu eezi. Nkaambo mukuchita oobo, uyolifutula lwako alimwi abaabo batakaswiilizye nduwe.
