1 Timothy 1
1 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the appointment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Nze Pawulo, omutume wa Kristo Yesu, nga Katonda Omulokozi waffe ne Kristo Yesu essuubi lyaffe, bwe baalagira,
2 to Timothy my true son in the faith, be grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
nkuwandiikira ggwe Timoseewo, omwana wange ddala mu kukkiriza. Nkwagaliza ekisa n’okusaasira, n’emirembe, ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe.
3 As I exhorted thee to stay at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,
Njagala osigale mu Efeso, nga bwe nakukuutira nga ŋŋenda e Makedoniya oziyize abantu baleme kuyigiriza njigiriza ndala.
4 nor attend to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion debates, rather than pious edification in the faith:
Bagambe balekeraawo okwemalira ku nfumo, ne ku kulondoola enkalala empanvu ez’amannya g’abajjajja. Ebyo byongera mpaka, mu kifo ky’okuyigiriza abantu ebya Katonda ebiri mu kukkiriza.
5 so do, and acquaint them that the end of that charge is charity, out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:
Kye tugenderera mu kiragiro kino, kwe kwagala okuva mu mutima omulongoofu, n’omwoyo omulungi, n’okukkiriza okutaliimu bukuusa.
6 from which some having swerved are turned aside to vain discourses;
Ebyo abantu abamu babivaako ne badda mu mpaka ezitaliimu mugaso.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they neither understand what they say, nor what things they assert.
Beefuula bayigiriza b’amateeka ga Katonda, songa tebategeera bye boogera, wadde bye bakakasa.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Tumanyi ng’amateeka malungi, omuntu bw’agakozesa mu ngeri entuufu.
9 knowing this, that a law does not lie against a righteous person, but against the lawless and unruly, the impious and wicked, the unholy and profane,
Tusaanye tutegeere nga Amateeka tegaateekerwawo batuukirivu, wabula gaateekerwawo bamenyi baago na bajeemu, aboonoonyi, n’abatatya Katonda, n’abatali batukuvu, n’abagwenyufu, abatta bakitaabwe ne bannyaabwe, era n’abatta abantu abalala,
10 parricides, murderers, whoremongers, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, false-swearers, and if there be any thing else contrary to that sound doctrine,
n’abenzi, n’abalya ebisiyaga, abagula n’abatunda abaddu, abalimba n’abalayirira obwereere, ne bonna abatakkiriziganya na njigiriza ntuufu,
11 which is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I was intrusted.
ng’Enjiri ey’ekitiibwa kya Katonda atenderezebwa, gye yankwasa bw’eri.
12 And I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me ability for the work, that He accounted me faithful, having put me into the ministry,
Neebaza Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe eyampa amaanyi ag’okumuweereza. Mwebaza kubanga yalaba nga nsaanira, n’ankwasa omulimu gwe.
13 who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: and the grace of our Lord superabounded,
Newaakubadde ng’edda namwogerangako bubi, ne mmuyigganya era ne mmuvuma, kyokka yansaasira, kubanga ebyo nabikolanga mu butamanya nga sinnaba kumukkiriza.
14 with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Naye Mukama waffe yankwatirwa ekisa kingi n’ampa okukkiriza kungi, era n’okwagala kwe tufunira mu Kristo Yesu.
15 It is a truth highly to be believed, and worthy to be received by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners: ---of whom I am one of the chief.
Ekigambo kino kituufu, kisaanye okukkiriza, ekigamba nti Kristo Yesu yajja mu nsi okulokola aboonoonyi. Mu bo nze mwonoonyi asookera ddala.
16 But for this end I obtained mercy, that in me a chief sinner Jesus Christ might display his long-suffering, for an example to those who should afterwards believe on Him to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Katonda kyeyava ansaasira, Kristo Yesu alyoke ayoleseze mu nze, omwonoonyi asingira ddala okugumiikiriza kwe okutakoma, era mbeere ekyokulabirako eri abo abalimukkiriza ne bafuna obulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Kabaka ow’olubeerera, atafa era atalabika, Katonda omu yekka, agulumizibwenga, emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which before came on thee, that by them thou mightest war a good warfare,
Mwana wange Timoseewo, nkukubiriza ojjukire ebigambo bya bannabbi bye baakwogerako edda, olyoke olwane olutalo n’obuzira,
19 having faith and a good conscience, which some putting away have made shipwreck concerning the faith:
ng’okukkiriza, n’omwoyo omulungi, bye byokulwanyisa byo. Kubanga abalala abagaana okuba n’omwoyo ogwo omulungi bafiirwa okukkiriza kwabwe.
20 of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Mu abo mwe muli Kumenayo ne Alegezanda be n’awaayo eri Setaani bayige obutavumanga Katonda.
