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 [the] Lord *O*) Christ Jesus according to [the] command of God [the] Savior of us and (Lord *K*) Christ Jesus the hope of us
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, [and] peace from God [the] Father (of us *K*) and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.
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,
even as I urged you to remain in Ephesus [when] I was going to Macedonia so that you may warn certain men not to teach other doctrines
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 myths and to genealogies endless, which (speculations *N(k)O*) bring rather than stewardship of God which [is] in faith.
5 Muoroto wa watho ũyũ nĩ wendo, ũrĩa uumaga thĩinĩ wa ngoro theru, na thamiri njega, o na wĩtĩkio ũtarĩ na ũhinga.
And the goal of [our] instruction is love out of a pure heart and a conscience good and a faith sincere,
6 Andũ amwe nĩmatiganĩte na ũhoro ũcio na makerekera mĩario-inĩ ya tũhũ.
from which some having missed the mark they have turned aside to meaningless discourse
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, not understanding neither what they are saying nor [that] about which they confidently assert.
8 Nĩtũũĩ atĩ watho nĩ mwega mũndũ angĩũhũthĩra kũringana na ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
We know now that good [is] the law if one it lawfully shall use,
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 for a righteous [one] law not is enacted, for [the] lawless however and insubordinate, for [the] ungodly and sinful, for [the] unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man,
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 the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for enslavers, for liars, for perjurers, and if anything other which to sound teaching is opposed
11 ũrĩa ũringaine na Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega ũrĩ riiri wa Ngai ũrĩa mũrathime, o ũhoro ũcio ndehokeirwo ndĩũrutage.
according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which was entrusted I myself.
12 Nĩngũcookeria Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani witũ ngaatho, ũrĩa ũheete hinya, tondũ nĩanduire wa kwĩhokeka, na akĩnyamũra nduĩke wa kũmũtungatagĩra.
(and *k*) Thankfulness I have for the [One] having strengthened me for Christ Jesus the Lord of us that faithful me He esteemed having appointed [me] to service,
13 O na gũtuĩka rĩmwe ndaarĩ mũrumi Ngai, na mũnyariirani, na mũndũ wa ngũĩ, nĩndaiguĩrĩirwo tha tondũ ndekaga ũguo itekũmenya na itarĩ mwĩtĩkia.
(*N(k)O*) formerly being a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did [it] in unbelief;
14 Naguo wega mũingĩ wa Mwathani witũ ũkĩnjiyũrĩrĩra, hamwe na wĩtĩkio o na wendani ũrĩa uumaga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] 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.
Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy that Christ Jesus came into the world sinners to save, of whom [the] foremost am I myself;
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 because of this I was shown mercy, that in me myself [the] foremost may display Christ Jesus ([his] perfect *N(K)O*) patience as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to life eternal. (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 of the ages, [the] immortal invisible only (wise *K*) God, [be] honor and glory to the ages of the ages, 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 you, [my] child Timothy, according to the going before as to you prophecies, that (you may war *NK(o)*) by them 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.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away concerning the faith caused a shipwreck,
20 Amwe ao nĩ Humenayo, na Alekisandero, arĩa neanĩte kũrĩ Shaitani nĩgeetha marutwo, matige kũruma Ngai.
among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
