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 Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus 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 true son in the faith. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Anga naenukupepeeye naenihegile nikenda kumakedonia, usage kuefeso inge kina uhume kuahama iantu angwi alekekumanyisa umanyisi nuungiza.
When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons because of their erroneous teaching
4 Hange alekekulegeelya imakumo nuupangi nuaulangi nimagila impelo. Aya isasha kikunguma kukila kuaaelya kulongolesha umupango nuang'wi Tunda nuauhueli.
and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship for God, which only exists where there is faith. And I make the same request now.
5 Inge gwa isigo nelilago ile ulowa nuupumile munkolo ninza, muusigi nuuza numuhueli nuatai.
But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith.
6 Ang'wi aantu aliuiye isigo ikaleka uumanyisigwa uwu nukupilukila uligiti nuekepungu.
From these some have drifted away, and have wandered into empty words.
7 Aloilwe kutula amanyisi amalago, kuile shaaine niakulutambula ang'ei niakulukazela.
They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they do not understand either their own words or what the things are about which they make such confident assertions.
8 Kuite kuine kina ilago iza angwi umuntu ukulitumila mutaitaii.
Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,
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.
and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers or their mothers, for murderers,
10 Kunsoko akosi, kunsoko aantu niigoolya, kunsoko aawa niiteka iantu nukuatenda atugwa, kunsoko aateele, kunsoko aihengi auteele hangi wihi nukule kensengele nyuma nuulagili nuauhueli.
fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
11 Ulagiili uwu utakanile ninkani ninziza niaukulu wang'wi Tunda nuekembetwa naza kung'wao ehuiwe.
and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
12 Numulumbeye u Yesu Kilisto Mkulu witu. Aeumpee ngulu, kunsoko aeumbaiye unene kulula numuhueli, hange wikambika muwitumi.
I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has put me into His service,
13 Aeni muntu numumeli, maji hange muntu numulei. Kuite nikapegwa ukende kunsoko aitendile kuupungu singaainikuie.
though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed;
14 Kuite ukende nuang'wi Tunda witu wizue uuhueli nuulowa nuukole mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, conferring faith on me and the 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.
Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; among whom I stand foremost.
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)
But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nitungeli kumutemi numugila empelo, nisingaukusha nisingukigela, Itunda ung'wenso, itule ikulyo nuukulu nuakale nakale. Hueli. (aiōn g165)
Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! 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 is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,
19 Tenda uu inge utule nuuhueli ni sigo niza. Ang'wiao niantu amahitile aya ikaulimilya uuhueli.
holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
20 Anga ite Himenayo nu Alekizanda ninamupeza umulugu amanyisigwe alekekumumela.
Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
