1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:
Paulo, n'tume ghwa Kristu Yesu, kulengana ni amri jha Bwana K'yara ni mwokozi ghwa jhotu Yesu Kristu jhaajhele bhujasiri bhwitu,
2 To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
kwa Timotheo mwanabhangu ghwa kweli mu imani: Neema, rehema ni amani syasihomela kwa K'yara Dadi ni Kristu Bwana bhitu.
3 When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching
Kama kyanisiili bho nibhokili kulota Makedonia, usialaghe Efeso ili kwamba ubhwesiajhi kubhaamuru bhanu fulani bhasifundisi mafundisu tofauti.
4 and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.
Kabhele bhasipelekesi fijegu ni orodha sya nasaba syasibelikujha ni mwishu. Agha ghisababisya mabishanu nesu kuliko kubhasaidila kujhendelesya mpango bhwa K'yara bhwa imani.
5 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.
Basi lilengo lya lilaghisu e'le ndo bhupendo bhwabhwihoma mu muoyo bhunofu, mu dhamiri jhinofu ni mu imani jha bhukweli.
6 From these some have drifted away, and have wandered into empty words.
Baadhi jha bhanu bhalidulili lilengo bhakaghaleka mafundisu agha ni kusanukila malongesi gha kipumbafu.
7 They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.
Bhilonda kujha bhalimu bha sheria, lakini bhamanyilepi kyabhijobha au kyabhisisitisya.
8 Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,
lakini tumanyili kujha sheria ndo jhinofu kama munu akajhitumila kwa usahihi.
9 and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,
Tumanyili kujha, sheria jhatongibhulepi kwandabha jha munu mwenye haki, bali kwandabha jha bhavunja sheria ni bhaasi, bhanu bhabhabelikujha bhatauwa ni bhenye dhambi ni bhabhabelili kujha ni K'yara ni bhaovu. Jhitongibhu kwandabha jha bhabhikoma Dadi ni bhanyinabhabhi,
10 fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
kwa ndabha jha bhauaji, kwandabha jha bhaasherati, kwa ndabha jha bhanu bhazinzi, kwandabha jha bhanu bhabhiteka bhanu ni kubhabheka bhatumwa kwandabha jha bhadesi, kwandabh jha mashahidi bha bhudesi, ni jhejhioha jha ajhele kinyume ni majhelekesu gha bhuaminifu.
11 and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Majhelekesu agha ghihomela ni injili jhajhijhele ni bhutukufu bhwa K'yara jha abarikibhu ambajho kwa bhene niaminibhu.
12 I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has put me into His service,
Nikambombesya Yesu Kristu Bwana ghwitu. Anipelili ng'hofu, kwa kujha anibhalangili nene kujha mwaminifu, na anibhekili mu huduma.
13 though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed;
Najhele munu ghwa kukufuru, n'tesaji ni munu ghwa ngondo. Lakini nakabhili rehema kwandabha nabhombili kwa ujinga kwa kutokukiera.
14 and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus.
Lakini neema jha K'yara ghwitu jhimemili imani ni bhupendo bhwabhujhele mwa Kristu Yesu.
15 Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.
Bhujumbe obho ndo bhwakuaminika na bhwilondeka kupokelibhwa ni bhoha jha kujha Kristu Yesu ahidili pa duniani kuokola bhenye dhambi. Nene nembimbi kuliko bhoha.
16 But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Lakini kwa ndabha ejhe nene napelibhu rehema ili kwamba mugati mwa nene kwanza, Kristu Yesu adhihirishiajhi bhuvumilivu bhuoha. Abhombili naha kama kielelesu kwa bhoha bhabhibetakun'tumaini muene kwa ndabha jha bhusima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Na henu kwa mfalme jha abelikujha ni mwisu, jhaifwalepi, jhaibelakubhoneka, K'yara muene ijhelayi heshima ni bhutukufu milele ni milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
18 This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,
Nikalibheka lilaghisu e'le palongolo pa Timotheo, mwana bhangu. Nibhomba naha kulengana ni bhunabii bhwabhwapisibhu hoti kuhusu bhebh'e, ili kwamba uhusikayi mu ngondo jhinofu.
19 holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
Khetayi naha ili kwamba ujhelayi ni imani ni dhamiri jhinofu. Baadhi jha bhanu bhaghabelili agha bhakajhangamisya imani.
20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
Kama fela Himeneyo ni Alekizanda ambabho nimpelili lisyetani ili bhamanyisibhwayi bhasikufuru.
