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 Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus 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.
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 Lwa kutyo nakwilembelesishe anu nasokeleo ningenda Makedonia, usigale Efeso koleleki utule okubhaganya abhanu bhalebhe bhasige okwiigisha ameigisho ganu gatasikene.
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 Ka lindi bhasige okutegelesha jingani no bhwitondo bhwa jinganda jinu jitana bhutelo. Ganu agaletelela obhuyakani bhwanfu nibhalema okugendelesha obhwitondo bhwa Nyamuanga obhwe likilisha.
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 Mbe nawe injuno yo bhulagiliye bhunu ni kwenda kunu kusokele mu mwoyo gwe kisi, na meganilisho go bhwana mu likilisha lye chimali.
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 Abhanu bhalebhe bhabhulilwe echimali nibhasiga ameigisho ganu no kuindukila amagambo ge chimumu.
From these some have drifted away, and have wandered into empty words.
7 Abhenda okubha bheigisha bhe bhilagilo, mbe nawe bhatakumenya chinu abhaika nolwo chinu abhakomelesha.
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 Mbe nawe chimenyele ati echilagilo ni cha kisi omunu akachilubha mu bhwe kisi.
Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way it should be used,
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,
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 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.
fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
11 Obhulagilie bhunu obhusoka mu injili inu ina likusho lya Nyamuanga unu ana mabhando ganu niikanyibhwe.
and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
12 Enimusima Yesu Kristo Omukama weswe. Anteemo amanaga, kulwo kubha ambalile anye kubha mulengelesi, nantula mu bhukosi.
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 Naliga nili munu wo kugaya, kunyasha no mulwani. Mbe nawe nabhwene echigongo kulwo kubha nakolele kulwo bhumumu bhwo kulema okwikilisha.
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 Mbe nawe echigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe chijuye elikilisha no kwenda kunu kuli mu Kristo 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 Obhubhambasi bhunu ni bhwo kwikilisibhwa na bhwiile okulamilwa na bhone, ati Kristo Yesu ejile mu chalo okukisha abhabhibhi. Anye ndi mubhibhi kukila bhone.
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 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)
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 Mbe woli ku Mukama unu atana bhutelo, unu atakufwa, unu atakubhonekana, Nyamuanga enyere, chibhe chibhalo na likusho kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (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 Lilagililo linu enilitula imbele yao Timotheo, omwana wani. Enikola kutyo kwo kulubhilila obhulagi bhunu bhwasosibhwe ku bhwambilo kwawe, koleleki ubhe mubhulemo bhwe kisi.
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 Kola kutyo ubhe ne likilisha na meganilisho ge kisi. Bhalio abhanu bhanu bhalemele ganu nibhasingalisha elikilisha.
holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
20 Lwa Himeneyo na Alekizanda bhanu nimuyaye Shetani koleleki bheigisibhwe bhasiga kugaya.
Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
