1 Timotheo 4
1 Na rĩrĩ, Roho nĩoigaga atekũhithĩrĩra atĩ matukũ ma thuutha andũ amwe nĩmagatiganĩria wĩtĩkio na marũmĩrĩre maaroho marĩa maheenanagia o na maũndũ marĩa marutanagwo nĩ ndaimono.
But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,
2 Morutani ta macio mahunjagio nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga, arĩa maaragia maheeni, na arĩa thamiri ciao ihaana ta icinĩtwo na ruoro.
Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;
3 Acio nĩo makaanagia andũ kũhikania na makameera megirĩrĩrie kũrĩĩaga irio cia mĩthemba ĩmwe, iria Ngai oombire nĩguo ciamũkagĩrwo na ngaatho nĩ arĩa metĩkĩtie na arĩa moĩ ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma.
Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
4 Tondũ-rĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe Ngai oombire nĩ kĩega, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũregwo angĩkorwo kĩamũkĩrĩtwo na ngaatho,
Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:
5 tondũ nĩkĩrĩkĩtie gũtherio nĩ kiugo kĩa Ngai na mahooya.
For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
6 Ũngĩruta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ maũndũ maya-rĩ, nĩũgũtuĩka ndungata njega ya Kristũ Jesũ, ĩrĩa ĩreretwo na ciugo cia ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma wa wĩtĩkio o na cia ũrutani mwega ũrĩa wee ũtũire ũrũmĩrĩire.
If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
7 Reganaga na ngʼano cia tũhũ iria itarĩ cia gũtĩĩithia Ngai, o na ngʼano ta iria iganagwo nĩ iheti; nĩ kaba wĩmenyerie gũikara wĩyamũrĩire Ngai.
But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:
8 Nĩgũkorwo gwĩka maũndũ ma gwĩkĩra mwĩrĩ hinya nĩ ũrĩ bata waguo, no kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai kũrĩ bata harĩ maũndũ mothe, nĩ ũndũ kũrehaga kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ o na muoyo-inĩ ũrĩa ũgooka.
For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
9 Ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo wa kwĩhokeka na nĩwagĩrĩire gwĩtĩkĩrĩka o biũ
This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.
10 (na ũhoro ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga twĩrutanagĩrie na twĩnogagie), na tũkaiga mwĩhoko witũ harĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo, ũrĩa arĩ we Mũhonokia wa andũ othe, na makĩria arĩa metĩkĩtie.
And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.
11 Athanaga atĩ maũndũ macio mekagwo.
Let these be your orders and your teaching.
12 Ndũkanareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ akũire tondũ atĩ wĩ mũndũ mwĩthĩ, no tuĩka kĩonereria kũrĩ andũ arĩa metĩkĩtie rĩrĩa ũkwaria, na ha ũhoro wa mũtũũrĩre, na wa wendani, o na ha wĩtĩkio, na ha ũhoro wa mĩtugo mĩtheru.
Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.
13 Wĩheane gũthomagĩra andũ Maandĩko marĩa matheru, na kũhunjia, na kũrutana, o nginya rĩrĩa ngooka.
Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.
14 Ndũkanaage kũhũthĩra kĩheo gĩaku kĩrĩa waheirwo na ũndũ wa mohoro marĩa maarathirwo, rĩrĩa athuuri maakũigĩrĩire moko.
Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
15 Ĩkagĩra kĩyo harĩ maũndũ macio; wĩheane kũna kũrĩ mo, nĩgeetha andũ othe monage ũrĩa ũrathiĩ na mbere.
Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.
16 Menyagĩrĩra wega mũtũũrĩre waku na ũrutani waku. Kiragĩrĩria thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio, tondũ weka ũguo, nĩũkwĩhonokia wee mwene na ũhonokie o na arĩa magũthikagĩrĩria.
Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.
