1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;
Paulusi, muapositola wa Chrisite Jesu kuya che intaelo ya Ireeza mu hazi wetu ni Chrisite Jesu i nsepo yetu,
2 To Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
kwa Timotea, mwana we niti mwi ntumelo: Chisemo, inse ni nkozo izwa kwa Ireeza Ishetu ni Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu.
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Ubu muniba kukumbilili kuti upange hani bakukaya kwa Masedonia, wikale mwa Efese kuti uwole kuha intaelo kubamwi bantu kuti sanzi baruti intuto ingi.
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; [so do].
Nikusa ntekeleza kuma tangu asa mani amasika. Izi zileta kupanga inkani kuhita kutusa mulelo wa Ireeza, iri che ntumelo.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
Hanu cwale ma manimani omu lao i rato lizwa kwi nkulo i chenete, kuzwilila kwi izwalo ilotu, ni kuzwililila kwi tumelo ina buniti.
6 From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;
Bamwi batu baba kwangi kusika hama manimani kono baba sanduki nokutanga kuwamba zobuhafu.
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.
Basaka kuba maruti womu lao, kono kaba zuwi sisi zibawamba kamba ondelelwa hateni.
8 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man useth it lawfully;
Kono twizi kuti mulao wina hande haiba zumwi usebelisa chenswanelo
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
Mi tuzizi izi, kuti mulao kena uba pangilwa muntu yolukite, konu kubantu ba sena mulao niba kwenuheli, nibantu basena Ireeza, niba panga zivi, mi nabana ba sezi Ireeza niba fosahere. Linu uba pangilwa bana behaya bashemi bavo baba kwame nibanakazi, ni behayi.
10 For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
nibantu bapanga zabushahi, mukwame yozumina kusandulwa mwanakazi, abo bahiba bantu nikubapanga batanga, ba pono, ipanki za mapa, mi nizintu zose zisena initi niku lwanisa intaelo.
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Izi intaelo ziyendelela ni kanya ye linzi lifuyawile kwa Ireeza ilyo lini bahewa.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
Nili tumela kwa Chresite Jesu iye Fumweetu. Aba ni konzi, kakuti aba ni hindi kuti ni sepahala, mi nikuni bika ha musebezi.
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief:
Nibali nimunyazerizi, ni munyandisi nimu kwame yonyandisa. Kono niba tambuli chishemo ka kuli niba kupanga nini sezi nikusazumina.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Kono chisemo cha fumwangu chiba kezi kwangu ni tumelo mwi lato lina kwa Christ Jesu.
15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Ili iñusa lisepahala ni kuswanela mi nikuzuminiwa, kuti Christ Jesu aba kezi mwifasi kwiza kuhaza mu eza libi. Ime nji niwa mamani mani kwezi.
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Mi keli ibaka niba hewa chisemo, kuhitiliza, Christ Jesu u wola kutondeza kuli keta kose. Aba pangi izi nili mutala kwabo basepa kwali mubuhalo bunhya. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Linu ku Mulena wakale, ya saboli, ya sabonwa, Ireeza yenke, ikute, nikanya, nikutwala kusa manu mani. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;
Nibika iyi intaelo ha busu bwenu, Timotea, mwanangu. Nizipanga izi kuyendelela ni chipolofita chiba wambwa kwako, iri kuti kupangila kuti winjile mwindwa indotu.
19 Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Uzi pange izi kuti ube mwi tumelo ni izwalo ilutu. bamwi batu baba kani izi ni kumina ka kuti lye ntumelo.
20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Baswana sina Imenca ni Alexandere, abo vaniva tambiki kwa Satani iri kuti valutwe kusa yefula.
