1 Timote 1
1 Mini polo n tie Jesu kilisiti tondo kelima U Tienu ti candaano yaa ñoabonli po, leli Jesu kilisiti yua n tie ti suginma yaa po.
PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;
2 N diani apo fini Timote yua n tie n bimoanga li dandanli nni U Tienu yua n tie ba leni ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti yaa ŋanbili leni o niŋigbadima leni o yanduanma n yaa ye leni a.
to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.
3 Nbua ki tiadi a min den puogi a yaala min den baa fii ki gedi Maseduana diema yaa yogunu ke ŋan yaa ye Efesa ki tundi bi nitianba yaaba n bangi bangi toama.
When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;
4 Han go yie bi po ke ban da pa bi yula i telimi togida leni yaajanba togida yaa n kaa pia gbenma, kelima laa bonla kuli fiidi mi niama ki naa todi U Tienu tuonli suagima liiga li dandanli nni.
and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.
5 Laa tundi n baa cuani yaala tie: yaa buama n ña yaa pali n pieni niinni leni yaa pali seedi n ŋani leni li dandanmoanli.
Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.
6 Bi nitianba lebidi ki ŋa laa bonla ki yaadi ki ŋoa mi mafanma.
But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;
7 Bi bua ki yaa tie li bali maama bangikaaba, ama baa bani ban maadi yaala leni ban tiendi yaala leni li papaali yeni n bua ki yedi yaala.
because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.
8 Ti bani ke U Tienu balimaama ŋani li ya tie ke o nilo ŋoa ma nani lan bili maama.
Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law,
9 Ti go bani ke baa bili li balimaama yeni o niteginkoa po, ama bi bili ma bi nibiadiba, leni bi niyiekaaba, leni U Tienu yiekaaba, leni ti tuonbiadi danba, leni yaaba n kaa ŋoa U Tienu sanu, kaa fangi U Tienu mo leni yaaba n ku bi baanba leni bi naanba, leni nikpalo kuli po,
he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,
10 leni mi conconma danba, leni yaa jaba n taagi leni bi yaba, leni yaaba n kuadi bi niba, leni bi tuofadanba leni yaaba n tiedi mi seedi faama po, leni yaala n nia leni mi bangiŋanma kuli po.
and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 Laa bangiŋanma ŋoa o laabaaliŋamo, U Tienu yua n pundi ki yaa baadi ti kpiagidi ki go pia mi yemanmoanma n piani nni yua.
namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
12 N tuondi ti diedo jesu kilisiti yua n puni nni u paalu, ki sua ke n tie nidugikoa ki kuani nni o tuonli nni.
And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;
13 Mini yua n den kpa sugidi o, ki wangi o fala, ki tiendi o yaala n bia, o den gbadi npo mi niŋima, kelima n den tiendi yeni n yanpiima po leni n dandanluoma po.
me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith.
14 Ti diedo den ŋanbi npo ŋali ke li kandi, ki puni nni yaa dandanli leni yaa buama n ñani Jesu kilisiti kani.
And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah.
15 Ya maama n tie na tie madugikaama ki pundi bi niba n ga ma cain, ke Jesu kilisiti den cua ŋanduna nni ki baa tindi ti tuonbiadi danba. Bi siiga nni mini n cie.
Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.
16 Ama o den gbadi npo mi niŋima line yaapo: Jesu kilisiti cili ki doagidi o juuli mini yaa kani, ke min tua li bontogidikaala yaaba n baa daani o ki ba yaa miali n kan gbeni kuli po. (aiōnios g166)
But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 U Tienu yua n tie o badiciamo ŋali yaa yogunu kuli kaa pia kuuma, tin ki nua yua, wani yua bebe n tie U Tienu n yaa baadi ti jigidi leni ti kpiagidi hali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina (aiōn g165)
And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 N biga Timote n teni a yaa ñoabonli n tie na, nani ban den kpa pua apo yaa sawali ki yedi maama lani n tie ŋan ya koani li dandanli koanŋanli,
This injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,
19 ki yaa kubi li dandanli leni yaa paliseedi n ŋani, bi nitianba den ŋa laa bonla ke bi dandanli bodi.
in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;
20 Imene leni Alesanda tie laa niba siiga yaaba. N den teni ba Sutaani ke lan bangi ba ban da go sugidi U Tienu.
like Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.
