Luo Timothy 1
1 Ma sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus ke lungse lun God, su supweyuk in fahkak ke moul se su oasr wuleang kac, su kut eis ke kut kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus —
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
2 Nu sel Timothy, tulik kulo nutik: Lungkulang, pakoten, ac misla nu sum sin God Papa, ac Christ Jesus Leum lasr.
To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Nga sang kulo nu sin God su nga kulansupu ke inse okak oana ke mwet matu luk elos tuh oru. Nga sang kulo nu sel oana ke nga esam kom pacl nukewa in pre luk ke len ac fong.
I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.
4 Nga esamak sroninmotom, ac nga kena liyekomyak ngan mau arulana enganak.
Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
5 Nga esam pac ke luman lulalfongi pwaye lom, su oan sel Lois nina matu kiom, ac Eunice nina kiom, ac nga lulalfongi lah oasr pac sum.
I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.
6 Ke sripa se inge, nga akesmakinye kom tuh kom in purakak mwe sang su God El sot nu sum ke pacl se nga tuh filiya pouk nu fom.
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Tuh Ngun su God El ase nu sesr uh tia mwe aktonongye kut; a ma in nwekkutla ke ngunin ku, ac lungse, ac in sifacna leum facsr.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Ke ma inge, nik kom mwekin in fahkak ma kom etu ke Leum lasr; ku mwekin keik, sie mwet kapir ke sripen Christ. A kom in wi keok ke sripen Pweng Wo, fal nu ke ku ma God El ac sot nu sum.
So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
9 El molikutla ac pangon kut tuh kut in mwet lal sifacna, tia ke sripen ma kut orala, a ke sripa lal ac lungkulang lal sifacna. El ase nu sesr lungkulang se inge ke Christ Jesus meet liki na mutaweyen pacl uh, (aiōnios g166)
He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. (aiōnios g166)
10 a inge, fwackyuk nu sesr ke tuku lun Christ Jesus, Mwet Lango lasr, su aksafyela ku lun misa, ac ke Wosasu el akkalemye nu sesr ke sie moul su wangin saflaiya.
And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,
11 God El srisrngiyuwi in sie mwet sap ac mwet luti in fahkak Pweng Wo,
to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 ac ke sripa se inge akkeokyeyuk nga. Tusruktu srakna ku lulalfongi luk, mweyen nga etu el su nga lulalfongi, ac nga etu na pwaye lah el ku in liyaung na ma El ase ngan karingin nwe ke Len sac.
For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.
13 Sruokya ku kas pwaye su nga luti nu sum tuh in mwe srikasrak nu sum, ac mutana in lulalfongi ac lungse su ma lasr ke kut kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus.
Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14 Ma wo su itukot nu sum in liyaung, kom in karinganang ke ku lun Ngun Mutal su oan in kut.
Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Kom etu lah mwet nukewa su muta Asia elos forla likiyu, ac luo selos pa Phygelus ac Hermogenes.
You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Leum elan pakoten nu sel Onesiphorus ac sou lal, ke sripen el akkeyeyu pacl pus. El tuh tia mwekyekinyu lah nga muta in kapir,
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.
17 a ke pacl se na el sun acn Rome el tuh sukyu nwe ke na el koneyuyak.
Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.
18 Nga pre tuh Leum elan pakoten nu sel ke Len sac! Ac kom arulana etu lupan kasru ma el oru nu sik ke nga muta Ephesus.
May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
