1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:
Une che Paolo nduna jwa Che Yesu Kilisito kwa kulajiswa ni Akunnungu Nkulupusyo jwetu pamo ni Che Yesu Kilisito chilolelo chetu.
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.
Ngunnembela che Timoseo mwanangu jwa usyenesyene mu chikulupi. Ngummendela umbone ni chanasa ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Che Yesu Kilisito Ambuje ŵetu.
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
Ngusaka nnonjele ku Efeso mpela ila inatite pakunchondelela katema panaliji nkwaula ku Makedonia. Kweleko kwana ŵandu ŵakujiganya majiganyo ga unami nkaakanye.
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.
Mwasalile alekangane ngano sya unami ni moŵa gose kugatanga meena ga achambuje ŵao pangali mbesi. Yele yose ikutandisya makani. Ngaikwalimbisya ŵandu mmasengo ga Akunnungu gagakutendeka kwa litala lya chikulupi.
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.
Nningwa wa lyele lilajisyo uli unonyelo waukutyochela mu ntima weswela ni nkuimanyilila kuitenda yaili yambone ni chikulupi cha usyene.
6 From these some have drifted away, and have wandered into empty words.
Nambo ŵandu ŵane gasoŵile gelego ni kugalauchila kuusyanausyana indu yangalimate.
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.
Ŵelewo akusaka aŵeje ŵakwiganya Malajisyo nambo achinsyene ngaakugamanyilila maloŵe gaakugaŵecheta atamuno indu yaakulimbila kuisala.
8 Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gali gambone, iŵaga mundu chagawone kwa litala lyalikusachilwa kugawona.
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,
Tukumanyilila kuti Malajisyo nganigaŵichikwa kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵambone, nambo gaŵichikwe kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵangalumbana ni ŵangakugajitichisya Malajisyo, ni ŵandu ŵangakwapopela Akunnungu ni ŵaali ni sambi, ni ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu ni ŵakutukana ni ŵandu ŵakwaulaga atati ni achikulu ŵao ni kwaulaga ŵandu ŵane.
10 fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
Malajisyo gaŵichikwe kwa ligongo lya ŵachigwagwa ni kwa achalume ŵakugonana achinsyene pe ni kwa ŵakwasumisya ŵandu kuŵa achikapolo ni kwa ŵaunami ni kwa ŵakulumbilila unami ni kwa ŵakupanganya ipanganyo yangaikulandana ni majiganyo gausyene.
11 and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Majiganyo ga gakutyochela mu Ngani Jambone jambele Akunnungu jwangulupilile lalichile Ngani Jambone jajikutyochela kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ni ukulu ni ŵakulapikwa moŵa gose.
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,
Ngwatogolela Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito ŵandasile machili pa masengo gangu, pakuŵa amweni ndili jwakukulupilichika nipele ŵasagwile kuti natumichile.
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;
Namuno kalakala naliji ngwatukana Akunnungu ni kwalagasya ŵandu ni naliji mundu jwaumenyani, Akunnungu ŵaangolele chanasa, ligongo natesile yeleyo nkuloŵela kwangu ni kwa ungamanyilila wangu ni pakuŵa nganingola chikulupi.
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.
Ambuje ŵetu ŵambele umbone wao wejinji ni chikulupi ni unonyelo watulinawo nkulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito.
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.
Liloŵe li lili lyakukulupilichika ni kukundikwa, yakuti Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaiche pachilambo kukwakulupusya ŵaali ni sambi. None ndili jwa sambi kwapunda wose,
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)
nambo kwa lye ligongo lyo Akunnungu ŵangolele chanasa. Ŵatesile yele kuti kwa litala lyangune jwa sambi kwapunda ŵandu wose, Che Yesu Kilisito akombole kulosya upililiu wao. None mme chisyasyo kwa wose uchakulupilile ni kupochela umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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)
Sambano kwa Mwenye ŵa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nombe ŵangakuwa namose ŵangakuwoneka, ni ŵaali Akunnungu ŵajika, ŵandu wose ŵaape luchimbichimbi ni ukulu mmoŵa gose pangali mbesi! Eloo. (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,
Mwanangu che Timoseo, ngumpa ali lilajisyo li malinga ni maloŵe gakulondola gagaŵechetekwe kalakala gankati mwe. Maloŵe go ni gachigantende nkombole kumenyana ngondo jambone,
19 holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
mpunde kukamulisya chikulupi chenu ni majiganyo ga usyene ga chikulupi ni kuitenda yaili yambone pe. Ŵandu ŵane akanile kugajitichisya majiganyo ga usyene, kwayele achijonasile chikulupi chao.
20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
Mwa ŵelewo apali che Himeneyo ni che Alekisanda unajamwiche kwa kwalechela mmakono mwa Shetani kuti ajiganyikwe anaatukane Akunnungu.
