1 Timothy 4
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akusala pangasisa kuti moŵa ga mbesi ŵandu ŵane chaleche chikulupi chao ni kusipilikachisya mbumu syasikulambusya ni majiganyo ga masoka.
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
Majiganyo ganti yele gakujenechekwa ni ŵandu ŵa unami, ŵaati mitima jakukumbuchila kupanganya yambone jiwile mpela ila jijochekwe ni chisyano cha mooto.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Ŵele ŵandu wo akwiganyanga kuti ili sambi kulombela ni sooni kulya yakulya impepe. Nambo Akunnungu ŵaigumbile yele yakulya lyo kuti, ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila ŵele ni kuumanyilila usyene alyanje kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
Pakuŵa chili chose chachipanganyikwe ni Akunnungu chili chambone ni nganichipagwa chakukanilwa, nambo ipochelwe kwa kwatogolela Akunnungu.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
Pakuŵa kwa litala lya Liloŵe lya Akunnungu ni kwa kupopelela, kukuchitenda chindu cho chikundikwe ni Akunnungu.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
Iŵaga chimwasalile achalongo achinjetu wose malajisyo ga, chimme jwakutumichila jwambone jwa Kilisito Yesu, chinkule mu chikulupi kwa maloŵe ga chikulupi ni majiganyo ga usyene gankugakuya.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself towards godliness.
Nambo nnekangane ni ngano syakalakala sya unami syanganisiŵa sya Akunnungu ni syangalumbana. Nchalile nkole mbili ja kwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
Pakuŵa kulijongola kukuchikamusya chiilu nambo kupanganya aila yakuisaka Akunnungu kwana ukamuchisyo mu indu yose, pakuŵa ikutulanjila umi mu utame wa sambano ni waukwika wo.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
Ali liloŵe li lili lyakukulupilichika, sooni lyalikuŵajilwa kukundikwa ni kukulupilichika.
10 For to this end we both labour and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those who believe.
Uwe tukusauka ni kupanganya masengo kwa kuchalila pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chetu kwa Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi, ni ŵaali Nkulupusyo jwa ŵandu wose nnopennope jwa ŵele ŵakukulupilila.
11 Command and teach these things.
Gele ni maloŵe gagakuŵajilwa kugalajisya ni kugajiganya.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
Nkajitichisya kuti mundu jwalijose anyosye pakuŵa ndi jwanchanda, nambo mme chisyasyo cha ŵandu ŵakukulupilila, mu uŵechete wenu ni mu lwendo lwenu ni mu unonyelo wenu ni mu chikulupi chenu ni mu utame waukwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Moŵa gose nlimbile kwaŵalanjila ŵandu Malembelo ga Akunnungu pangalisisa, ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone ni kwiganya mpaka patiiche.
14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Nkaleka kuupanganyichisya masengo ntuuka kutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu umpochele kwa litala lya utenga wa ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni apala nkungulu wa achachekulu paŵansajichile makono.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
Nganichisye nkati gelego ni kulityosya mwasyene nkupanganya indu yose.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Nlilolechesye inkuti pakutama ni inkuti pakwiganya. Njendelechele kutenda yeleyo kuti nkombole kulikulupusya mwasyene ni ŵelewo ŵakumpilikana wo.
