1 Timotheo 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa gwathwo nĩ Ngai Mũhonokia witũ o na nĩ Kristũ Jesũ ũrĩa arĩ we mwĩhoko witũ,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,
2 Ndĩrakwandĩkĩra marũa maya wee Timotheo, mũrũ wakwa kũna thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio: Wega, na tha, na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ o na kũrĩ Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ irogĩa nawe.
to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 O ta ũrĩa ndakũringĩrĩirie ngĩthiĩ Makedonia, atĩ ũikare kũu Efeso o na rĩu ndĩrenda ũikare kuo nĩgeetha ũgiragie andũ amwe kũu matigacooke kũrutana ũrutani wa maheeni,
As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,
4 na ningĩ matigathikagĩrĩrie ngʼano cia tũhũ, kana ũhoro wa njiarwa ũrĩa ũtathiraga. Maũndũ ta macio makagĩrĩria ngarari handũ ha gũkũria wĩra wa Ngai, ũrĩa ũrutagwo na njĩra ya wĩtĩkio.
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]
5 Muoroto wa watho ũyũ nĩ wendo, ũrĩa uumaga thĩinĩ wa ngoro theru, na thamiri njega, o na wĩtĩkio ũtarĩ na ũhinga.
Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;
6 Andũ amwe nĩmatiganĩte na ũhoro ũcio na makerekera mĩario-inĩ ya tũhũ.
from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,
7 Mendaga gũtuĩka arutani a watho, o na gũtuĩka matiũĩ gĩtũmi kĩa ũhoro ũrĩa maheanaga o na kana gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ marĩa maaragia magwatĩirie.
desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ watho nĩ mwega mũndũ angĩũhũthĩra kũringana na ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
9 O na ningĩ nĩtũũĩ atĩ watho ndũthondekeirwo andũ arĩa athingu no ũthondekeirwo arĩa moinaga watho na arĩa aremi, na arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai na arĩa ehia, na arĩa matarĩ atheru na arĩa matarĩ etĩkia; o na arĩa moragaga maithe na manyina mao, na arĩa oragani,
knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 o na nĩ ũndũ wa itharia na arĩa mogomagia mĩtugo, na onjoria a ngombo, na arĩa maheenanagia, na arĩa mehĩtaga na maheeni, o na ũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũtaringaine na ũrutani ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru,
for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,
11 ũrĩa ũringaine na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩ riiri wa Ngai ũrĩa mũrathime, o ũhoro ũcio ndehokeirwo ndĩũrutage.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
12 Nĩngũcookeria Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ ngaatho, ũrĩa ũheete hinya, tondũ nĩanduire wa kwĩhokeka, na akĩnyamũra nduĩke wa kũmũtungatagĩra.
And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t
13 O na gũtuĩka rĩmwe ndaarĩ mũrumi Ngai, na mũnyariirani, na mũndũ wa ngũĩ, nĩndaiguĩrĩirwo tha tondũ ndekaga ũguo itekũmenya na itarĩ mwĩtĩkia.
though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief;
14 Naguo wega mũingĩ wa Mwathani witũ ũkĩnjiyũrĩrĩra, hamwe na wĩtĩkio o na wendani ũrĩa uumaga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Atĩrĩrĩ, ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo wa kwĩhokeka na nĩguo wagĩrĩire gwĩtĩkĩrwo kũna: Atĩ Kristũ Jesũ ookire thĩ kũhonokia ehia, na harĩ acio-rĩ, nĩ niĩ wa mbere.
True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 No nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu, niĩ nĩndaiguĩrĩirwo tha nĩ Ngai nĩgeetha thĩinĩ wakwa, Kristũ Jesũ onanie ũkirĩrĩria wake ũtarĩ mũthia, nĩguo niĩ ndaarĩ mwĩhia makĩria, nduĩke kĩonereria harĩ arĩa marĩmwĩtĩkagia na makegĩĩra na muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
17 Na rĩu, kũrĩ Mũthamaki ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene, ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na ũrĩa ũtonekaga-rĩ, o we Ngai wiki, arotĩĩagwo na agoocagwo tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Wee Timotheo, mũrũ wakwa, ndĩrakũhe ũtaaro ũyũ kũringana na mohoro marĩa maarathĩtwo hĩndĩ ĩmwe ũhoro-inĩ waku, nĩgeetha wamarũmĩrĩra ũhotage kũrũa mbaara wega,
This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war the good warfare,
19 na ũtũũre ũrũmĩtie wĩtĩkio, na ũrĩ na thamiri ĩtarĩ na ũcuuke. Andũ angĩ nĩmareganĩte na kũrũmĩrĩra thamiri ciao, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio magathũkia wĩtĩkio wao.
having faith, and a good conscience, which some thrusting away made shipwreck concerning the faith;
20 Amwe ao nĩ Humenayo, na Alekisandero, arĩa neanĩte kũrĩ Shaitani nĩgeetha marutwo, matige kũruma Ngai.
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
