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, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of 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, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Anga naenukupepeeye naenihegile nikenda kumakedonia, usage kuefeso inge kina uhume kuahama iantu angwi alekekumanyisa umanyisi nuungiza.
As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
4 Hange alekekulegeelya imakumo nuupangi nuaulangi nimagila impelo. Aya isasha kikunguma kukila kuaaelya kulongolesha umupango nuang'wi Tunda nuauhueli.
Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
5 Inge gwa isigo nelilago ile ulowa nuupumile munkolo ninza, muusigi nuuza numuhueli nuatai.
Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
6 Ang'wi aantu aliuiye isigo ikaleka uumanyisigwa uwu nukupilukila uligiti nuekepungu.
From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
7 Aloilwe kutula amanyisi amalago, kuile shaaine niakulutambula ang'ei niakulukazela.
Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 Kuite kuine kina ilago iza angwi umuntu ukulitumila mutaitaii.
But we know that the law is good, if a man use 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 the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
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 fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 Ulagiili uwu utakanile ninkani ninziza niaukulu wang'wi Tunda nuekembetwa naza kung'wao ehuiwe.
Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
12 Numulumbeye u Yesu Kilisto Mkulu witu. Aeumpee ngulu, kunsoko aeumbaiye unene kulula numuhueli, hange wikambika muwitumi.
I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
13 Aeni muntu numumeli, maji hange muntu numulei. Kuite nikapegwa ukende kunsoko aitendile kuupungu singaainikuie.
Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Kuite ukende nuang'wi Tunda witu wizue uuhueli nuulowa nuukole mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly 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.
A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the 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)
But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto 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 of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour 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 precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,
19 Tenda uu inge utule nuuhueli ni sigo niza. Ang'wiao niantu amahitile aya ikaulimilya uuhueli.
Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
20 Anga ite Himenayo nu Alekizanda ninamupeza umulugu amanyisigwe alekekumumela.
Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
