Timoteo 1 4
1 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔe na mi kɔtɛe be le ŋkeke mamlɛawo me la, ame aɖewo le hamea me atrɔ le woƒe dzixɔse yome adze nufiala siwo ƒe susuwo me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo yɔ la yome kple dzo.
But the Spirit expressly states that in later times will depart from some from the faith giving heed to spirits deceitful and to teachings of demons
2 Nufiala siawo aɖo mo ta, ada alakpa, eye woadae enuenu ale gbegbe be woƒe dzitsinya magaɖe fu na wo gɔ̃ hã o.
in hypocrisy of speakers of lies, seared [in their] own conscience,
3 Woagblɔ be menyo be woaɖe srɔ̃ o, eye menyo hã be woaɖu nanewo o, evɔ wònye Mawue tsɔ nu siawo na xɔsetɔ siwo li ke, eye wonya nyateƒe la be woakpɔ dzidzɔ le wo ŋuti, eye woada akpe ɖe wo ta hafi.
forbidding to marry, [commanding] to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and by [those] already knowing the truth.
4 Elabena nu sia nu si Mawu wɔ la nyo, eye miate ŋu aɖui kple dzidzɔ nenye be mieda akpe ɖe eta,
For every creature of God [is] good and no [thing is] to be rejected with thanksgiving being received;
5 eye miebia tso Mawu si be wòayrae, elabena Mawu ƒe nya kple gbedodoɖa awɔe kɔkɔe.
it is sanctified for through [the] word of God and prayer.
6 Ne èɖe nu siawo me na ame bubuwo la, ànɔ wò dɔdeasi wɔm abe Yesu Kristo ƒe subɔla nyui si wonyi le xɔse ƒe nyawo kple nufiafia dzɔdzɔetɔ si yome nèdze la nu ene.
These things laying before the brothers good you will be a servant of Christ Jesus being nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have closely followed;
7 Megagblẽ wò ɣeyiɣi anɔ nya hem tso susu manyatanuwo kple movinyawo kple gli dzodzrowo ŋuti o. Ke boŋ zã wò ɣeyiɣiwo kple wò ŋusẽ nàtsɔ atu ɖokuiwò ɖoe le gbɔgbɔ me.
But profane and silly fables do refuse; do train rather yourself to godliness.
8 Ame ɖokui tutuɖo le ŋutilã me nyo, gake tutuɖo le gbɔgbɔ me le vevie wu, elabena enye atike na nu sia nu si nàwɔ. Eya ta tu ɖokuiwò ɖo le gbɔgbɔ me, eye nàdze agbagba be yeanye kristotɔ nyui wu, elabena eyae ava kpe ɖe ŋuwò. Menye fifia le agbe sia me ko o, ke boŋ le agbe si ava va la me hã.
For bodily exercise of a little is profit, but godliness for everything profitable is [the] promise holding of life of the present and which is coming.
9 Esia nye nyateƒe, eye wòdze be woaxɔe ase blibo,
Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy.
10 eye le esia ta míewɔ dɔ heʋli vevie be míatsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ ade Mawu gbagbe la me, ame si nye amewo katã ƒe Ɖela, vevietɔ ame siwo xɔ se.
Towards this for (also *k*) we toil and (strive, *N(K)O*) because we have hope on God [the] living, who is [the] Savior of all men especially of believers.
11 Fia nu siawo, eye nàkpɔ egbɔ be ame sia ame srɔ̃ wo nyuie.
do command these things and do teach.
12 Mègana ame aɖeke nabu wò ame gblɔe le wò ɖekakpuinyenye ta o, ke boŋ nye kpɔɖeŋu nyuitɔ na wo. Na woadze nu si nèfiana kple agbe si nènɔna la yome. Na wò lɔlɔ̃, wò xɔse kple wò susu dzadzɛwo nanye kpɔɖeŋu na wo.
no one your youth should despise, but a pattern do be for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love (in spirit *K*) in faith, in purity.
13 Va se ɖe esime mava mia gbɔ la, xlẽ Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la na hame la, eye nàɖe eme na wo; gblɔ Mawu ƒe nya la ɣe sia ɣi.
Until I come, do give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching,
14 Kpɔ egbɔ be, yewɔ amenuvenunana siwo Mawu na wò to eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi, esi hamemegãwo da asi ɖe dziwò la ŋu dɔ nyuie.
Not do be negligent of the in you gift which was given to you through prophecy with [the] laying on of the hands of the elderhood.
15 Wɔ nunana siawo ŋu dɔ nyuie. Tsɔ ɖokuiwò ƒo ɖe wò dɔwɔwɔwo me, ale be ame sia ame nate ŋu akpɔ wò tsitsiɖedzi kple ŋgɔgbeyiyi adze sii.
These things do ponder, in them do be absorbed, so that your progress evident may be (in *k*) all.
16 Lé ŋku ɖe nu siwo katã nèsusuna kple nu siwo katã nèwɔna la ŋuti nyuie. Lé nu si nyo, eye wòle eteƒe la me ko ɖe asi, eye Mawu ayra wò, eye wòawɔ ŋuwòdɔ le kpekpeɖeŋunana ame bubuwo me.
do give heed to yourself and to the teaching; do continue in them; this for doing both yourself you will save and those hearing you.
