1 Timotheo 1

1 Paulo, intumwa ya Kristo Yesu, okulubhana ne chilagilo cha Nyamuanga no Mukisha weswe Yesu Kristo unu ali bhubhasi bhweswe,

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

2 ku Timotheo omwana wani we chimali mu likilisha: Echigongo, echisa no mulembe ebhyo bhisokele ku Nyamuanga Lata na Kristo Yesu Omukama weswe.

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 Lwa kutyo nakwilembelesishe anu nasokeleo ningenda Makedonia, usigale Efeso koleleki utule okubhaganya abhanu bhalebhe bhasige okwiigisha ameigisho ganu gatasikene.

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 Ka lindi bhasige okutegelesha jingani no bhwitondo bhwa jinganda jinu jitana bhutelo. Ganu agaletelela obhuyakani bhwanfu nibhalema okugendelesha obhwitondo bhwa Nyamuanga obhwe likilisha.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

5 Mbe nawe injuno yo bhulagiliye bhunu ni kwenda kunu kusokele mu mwoyo gwe kisi, na meganilisho go bhwana mu likilisha lye chimali.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

6 Abhanu bhalebhe bhabhulilwe echimali nibhasiga ameigisho ganu no kuindukila amagambo ge chimumu.

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

7 Abhenda okubha bheigisha bhe bhilagilo, mbe nawe bhatakumenya chinu abhaika nolwo chinu abhakomelesha.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

8 Mbe nawe chimenyele ati echilagilo ni cha kisi omunu akachilubha mu bhwe kisi.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

9 Chimenyele ati, echilagilo chitateyweo kulwo munu wo bhulengelesi, mbe nawe kulwa bhanu abhanyamula ebhilagilo na bhakai, abhanu bhanu bhatali bhalengelesi na bhabhibhi, bhanu bhatana Nyamuanga na abhajabhi. Itulilweo kulwa bheti bha bhesemwene na bha nyilamwene, abheti,

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 manslayers,

10 kulwa bhashani, kulwa bhalomesi, kulwa abhanu bhanu abhagega abhanu nibhabhakola kubha bhagaya, kulwa bhalimi, kulwa bhabhambasi bho lulimi, na wona wona unu atasikene no bhulagilie bhwo bhulengelesi.

For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

11 Obhulagilie bhunu obhusoka mu injili inu ina likusho lya Nyamuanga unu ana mabhando ganu niikanyibhwe.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 Enimusima Yesu Kristo Omukama weswe. Anteemo amanaga, kulwo kubha ambalile anye kubha mulengelesi, nantula mu bhukosi.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

13 Naliga nili munu wo kugaya, kunyasha no mulwani. Mbe nawe nabhwene echigongo kulwo kubha nakolele kulwo bhumumu bhwo kulema okwikilisha.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Mbe nawe echigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe chijuye elikilisha no kwenda kunu kuli mu Kristo Yesu.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Obhubhambasi bhunu ni bhwo kwikilisibhwa na bhwiile okulamilwa na bhone, ati Kristo Yesu ejile mu chalo okukisha abhabhibhi. Anye ndi mubhibhi kukila bhone.

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 Mbe nawe kulwe misango ejo anye nabhwene echisa koleleki mwanye Kristo Yesu eleshe okwigumilisha kwone. Akolele kutiyo abhe chijejekanyo mu bhone bhanu bhali mwiikanya omwene kulwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

17 Mbe woli ku Mukama unu atana bhutelo, unu atakufwa, unu atakubhonekana, Nyamuanga enyere, chibhe chibhalo na likusho kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Lilagililo linu enilitula imbele yao Timotheo, omwana wani. Enikola kutyo kwo kulubhilila obhulagi bhunu bhwasosibhwe ku bhwambilo kwawe, koleleki ubhe mubhulemo bhwe kisi.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

19 Kola kutyo ubhe ne likilisha na meganilisho ge kisi. Bhalio abhanu bhanu bhalemele ganu nibhasingalisha elikilisha.

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

20 Lwa Himeneyo na Alekizanda bhanu nimuyaye Shetani koleleki bheigisibhwe bhasiga kugaya.

Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
