1 Timoty 1

1 Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy araka ny didin’ Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika, sy Kristy Jesosy fanantenantsika,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2 mamangy an’ i Timoty, tena zanako amin’ ny finoana: fahasoavana, famindram-po, fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Toy ny nangatahako anao hitoetra any Efesosy, rehefa hankany Makedonia aho, mba handidianao ny sasany tsy hanao fampianarana hafahafa,

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,

4 na hitandrina ny anganongano sy ny tantaram-pirazanana tsy hita lany izay mahatonga ady hevitra, fa tsy mampandroso ny fitondrana araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana, dia toy izany koa no ataoko ankehitriny.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

5 Fa ny anton’ ny didy dia fitiavana avy amin’ ny fo madio sy ny fieritreretana tsara ary ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy,

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;

6 izay nivilian’ ny sasany, ka nania ho amin’ ny taria foana izy,

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

7 dia olona izay te-ho mpampiana-dalàna, kanefa tsy fantany akory izay lazainy na izay itompoany.

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

8 Nefa fantatsika fa tsara ny lalàna, raha entin’ ny olona araka izay antony,

But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

9 ka fantany fa tsy ny olona marina no nanaovana ny lalàna, fa ny mpandika lalàna sy ny maditra, dia ny tsy matahotra an’ Andriamanitra sy ny mpanota, ny olona tsy manaja izay masìna sy ny olona vetaveta, ny mpamono ray sy ny mpamono reny, ny mpamono olona,

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

10 ny mpijangajanga, ny sodomita, ny mpangalatra olona, ny mpandainga, ny mpianian-tsy tò, ary na inona na inona manohitra ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema,

for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

11 araka ny filazantsaran’ ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra finaritra, izay natolotra ho adidiko.

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 Misaotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika aho, Izay nampahery ahy, fa nataony mahatoky aho ka notendreny ho amin’ ny fanompoana,

And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 dia izaho, izay mpiteny ratsy fahiny sady mpanenjika sy mpampahory; kanefa nahazo famindram-po aho, satria tamin’ ny tsi-fahalalana no nanaovako izany noho ny tsi-finoana.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Fa be indrindra ny fahasoavan’ ny Tompontsika tamin’ ny finoana sy ny fitiavana, izay ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Mahatoky ka tokony hekena amin’ ny fankasitrahana rehetra izao teny izao: tonga tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany Kristy Jesosy hamonjy ny mpanota, ary amin’ ireny izaho no lohany.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Kanefa izao no namindrana fo tamiko, dia ny mba hasehon’ i Jesosy Kristy eo amiko, izay lohany, ny fahari-po rehetra ho fianarana ho an’ izay hino Azy hahazoana fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ary ho an’ ny Mpanjaka tsy manan-taloha, tsy mety maty, tsy hita, dia ho an’ Andriamanitra tokana ihany anie ny laza sy ny voninahitra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Izao didy izao no omeko anao, ry Timoty zanako, araka ireo faminaniana natao fahiny ny aminao ireo, mba ho entinao miady ny ady tsara ireo,

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

19 amin’ ny itananao ny finoana sy ny fieritreretana tsara, izay efa narian’ ny sasany, ka toy ny olona vaky sambo izy ny amin’ ny finoana;

holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;

20 naman’ ireny Hymeneo sy Aleksandro, izay natolotro ho an’ i Satana mba hofaizana tsy hiteny ratsy.

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
