1 Timoti 1
1 Pọl, onyeozi Kraịst Jisọs site nʼiwu Chineke Onye nzọpụta anyị, na nke Kraịst Jisọs, onye bụ olileanya anyị,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Na-edegara gị bụ Timoti ezi nwa m nʼime okwukwe akwụkwọ a. Ka amara, na ebere na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị gị.
to Timothy, my true son in the faith; grace, mercy, peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Dị ka m gbara gị ume, mgbe m na-aga Masidonia, nọgide nʼEfesọs ka i nwee ike nye mmadụ ụfọdụ iwu ka ha ghara ịga nʼihu nʼizi ụkpụrụ dị iche.
As, on going into Macedonia, I besought you to remain in Ephesus, that you might charge some that they teach no other thing,
4 Mee ka ha kwụsị ịkọ ogologo akụkọ, na inyocha ihe gbasara usoro ọmụmụ dị iche iche nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ. Nʼihi na ihe ndị a na-eweta ajụjụ na ịrụ ụka na-abaghị uru, kama inyere ndị mmadụ aka ịnabata ụzọ ahụ Chineke kwadoro site nʼokwukwe.
nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which produce disputes rather than godly edification, which is in faith;
5 Ihe anyị bu nʼobi nye iwu a, bụ ka a kwalite ịhụnanya nke sitere nʼobi ọcha na ezi akọnuche, na okwukwe nke aghụghọ na-adịghị.
(Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and out of a good conscience, and out of faith unfeigned:
6 Ụfọdụ e sikwala nʼihe ndị a dapụ, jehie ụzọ, site nʼoke ịrụ ụka na-abaghị uru.
which things some not having aimed at, have turned aside to idle disputation,
7 Ha chọrọ ịbụ ndị ozizi iwu ma ha amaghị ihe ha na-ekwu maọbụ ihe ha na-akwadosi ike.
desiring to be teachers of law, though understanding neither what they say nor of what they boldly affirm.
8 Ma anyị maara na iwu dị mma, ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ewere ya mee ihe a chọrọ ka e jiri ya mee.
But we know that the law is good, if any one use it lawfully;
9 Ma emeghị iwu nʼihi ndị ezi omume. Kama, e mere iwu nʼihi ndị ahụ na-emebi iwu na ndị na-enupu isi, ndị kpọrọ Chineke asị na ndị mmehie, ndị rụrụ arụ, ndị na-egbu nna ha na nne ha, na ndị na-egbu mmadụ ibe ha,
knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and for scorners, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 na ndị na-akwa iko na ndị ikom na-emerụ onwe ha nʼahụ ndị ikom ibe ha, ndị na-azụ ahịa ndị ohu, na ndị ụgha niile, na ndị na-agba ama ụgha, tinyere ihe ndị ahụ niile megidere ezi ozizi ahụ,
for lewd persons, for sodomites, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and for whatever other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 nke dabara nʼoziọma ahụ dị ebube, nke Chineke dị ngọzị, nke o nyefere m nʼaka na ntụkwasị obi ichebe.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me.
12 Ana m ekele Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị ekele, onye na-enye m ike, nʼihi na ọ gụrụ m dị ka onye e kwesiri ịtụkwasị obi mgbe ọ họpụtara m ijere ya ozi.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry;
13 Ọ bụ ezie na nʼoge gara aga, abụ m onye na-ekwujọ Chineke na onye na-akpagbu ndị ya, bụrụkwa onye na-emegide emegide. Ma Chineke meere m ebere nʼihi na m mere ihe ndị ahụ nʼọnọdụ amaghị ihe, na enweghị okwukwe.
me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief:
14 Ma Onyenwe anyị wụkwasịrị m amara ya, nke babigara ụba oke, ya na okwukwe na ịhụnanya nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Okwu a kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, kwesikwa ka anabata ya nke ọma: Kraịst Jisọs bịara nʼụwa ịzọpụta ndị mmehie, nke mụ onwe m bụ onyeisi ha.
Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka e ji gosi m ebere, ka Kraịst Jisọs site nʼime m, bụ onye kachasị dị njọ, gosi enweghị ọgwụgwụ nke ntachiobi ya, ka m bụrụ ihe nlere anya nye ndị ahụ niile ga-ekwere na ya, ma nata ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Ugbu a, ka enye Eze ahụ na-adị ruo mgbe niile, Onye na-adịghị anwụ anwụ, Onye a na-adịghị ahụ anya, Onye naanị ya bụ Chineke, nsọpụrụ na otuto ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, be honor and glory from age to age. Amen.) (aiōn g165)
18 Ugbu a, Timoti nwa m, ana m enye gị ndụmọdụ a dị ka amụma ahụ e buru banyere gị nʼoge gara aga si dị. Ka ị site nʼịgbaso ya nwe ike ịlụ ezi ọgụ ahụ.
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare,
19 Jidesie okwukwe i nwere ike, ya na ezi akọnuche. Nʼihi na ụfọdụ ajụla ezi akọnuche ma si otu a dapụ nʼokwukwe.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenæus and Alexander,
20 Haimeniọs na Alegzanda so na ndị a. Ewerela m ha nyefee Ekwensu nʼaka, ka ọ taa ha ahụhụ tutu ruo mgbe ha mụtara na ha ekwesighị ikwu okwu nkwulu megide Chineke.
whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to revile.
