1 Timoteo 1
1 Paulo, Mitumi nuang'wa Yesu Kilisto, kendenkania mlago lang'wi Tunda numuguni witu Yesu Kilisto numugimya witu,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;
2 kung'wa Timoteo ung'wanane nuatai muuhueli: Nekanda, ukende nuupolo nuupumile kung'wi Tunda Tata nukung'wa Yesu Kilisto Mukulu witu.
To Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 Anga naenukupepeeye naenihegile nikenda kumakedonia, usage kuefeso inge kina uhume kuahama iantu angwi alekekumanyisa umanyisi nuungiza.
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Hange alekekulegeelya imakumo nuupangi nuaulangi nimagila impelo. Aya isasha kikunguma kukila kuaaelya kulongolesha umupango nuang'wi Tunda nuauhueli.
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; [so do].
5 Inge gwa isigo nelilago ile ulowa nuupumile munkolo ninza, muusigi nuuza numuhueli nuatai.
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
6 Ang'wi aantu aliuiye isigo ikaleka uumanyisigwa uwu nukupilukila uligiti nuekepungu.
From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;
7 Aloilwe kutula amanyisi amalago, kuile shaaine niakulutambula ang'ei niakulukazela.
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.
8 Kuite kuine kina ilago iza angwi umuntu ukulitumila mutaitaii.
But we know that the law [is] good, if a man useth it lawfully;
9 Kulengile kina, ilago singaaileikilwe kunsoko amuntu nukele etai, inge kunsoko aunangi ilago niapiluki, antu nesinga akueli hange niakete imilandu agila Itunda hange ashapu (Adobu). Iikilwe kunsoko ao niibulaga Atata niaia ao, kunsoko aabulagi.
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 Kunsoko akosi, kunsoko aantu niigoolya, kunsoko aawa niiteka iantu nukuatenda atugwa, kunsoko aateele, kunsoko aihengi auteele hangi wihi nukule kensengele nyuma nuulagili nuauhueli.
For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 Ulagiili uwu utakanile ninkani ninziza niaukulu wang'wi Tunda nuekembetwa naza kung'wao ehuiwe.
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Numulumbeye u Yesu Kilisto Mkulu witu. Aeumpee ngulu, kunsoko aeumbaiye unene kulula numuhueli, hange wikambika muwitumi.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Aeni muntu numumeli, maji hange muntu numulei. Kuite nikapegwa ukende kunsoko aitendile kuupungu singaainikuie.
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief:
14 Kuite ukende nuang'wi Tunda witu wizue uuhueli nuulowa nuukole mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Uutung'wa uwu wauhueli hange unonee usingiligwe niantu ehi, kunsoko u Yesu Kilisto auzile muhe kuguna niamilandu. Une numubii kukila ehi.
This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16 Kuite kunsoko eye une aepegilwe ukende nuukati ane unene, kanziilya ehi, u Yesu Kilisto wigeelye ugimya wehi. Autendile ite anga kilingasiilyo kuehi neikamuhuela nuanso kunsoko aupanga nuakale. (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nitungeli kumutemi numugila empelo, nisingaukusha nisingukigela, Itunda ung'wenso, itule ikulyo nuukulu nuakale nakale. Hueli. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Kuleika ilagiilyo ile ntongela ako Timoteo, ng'waane. Kutenda ite kuning'aniilya nuunyakidagu naeupumigwe apo pang'wandyo kunsoko ako. Inge utule mumbita ninza.
This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;
19 Tenda uu inge utule nuuhueli ni sigo niza. Ang'wiao niantu amahitile aya ikaulimilya uuhueli.
Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20 Anga ite Himenayo nu Alekizanda ninamupeza umulugu amanyisigwe alekekumumela.
Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
