1 Timoti 1

1 Na Paora, na te apotoro a Ihu Karaiti, he mea whakarite e te Atua, e to tatou Kaiwhakaora, e Ihu Karaiti hoki, ko ia ta tatou e tumanako atu nei;

PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha our hope;

2 Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti pono i roto i te whakapono: kia tau atu te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.

to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.

3 I whakahau atu ra ahau ki a koe, i ahau e haere ana ki Makeronia, kia noho koe i Epeha, ako ai i etahi kia kaua e rere ke te whakaako,

I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines,

4 Kia kaua e whakarongo ki nga korero tito noa, ki nga whakapapa tupuna kahore nei e whai mutunga; ko nga putanga ake o ena, he tautohetohe, kahore he whakatupu mo te tikanga a te Atua i runga i te whakapono; ka pera ano ahau inaianei.

nor throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end, (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha.

5 Ko te tukunga iho ia mo te ako, ko te aroha, no roto i te ngakau ma, i te hinengaro pai, i te whakapono tinihangakore.

But the end of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

6 Kapea ake enei e etahi, kotiti ke ana ki nga korero teka noa;

And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,

7 Ki ta ratou hei kaiwhakaako ratou i te ture, heoi kahore e matau ki ta ratou e korero nei, ki nga mea ranei e kauwhautia nei e ratou.

seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.

8 Otira, e matau ana tatou he mea pai te ture, ki te rite te meatanga e te tangata ki ta te ture tikanga;

But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law converse in it;

9 E matau ana hoki ki tenei, kihai te ture i whakatakotoria mo te tangata tika, engari mo te hunga turekore, tutu, karakiakore, hara, tapukore, whakarihariha, mo nga kaipatu i nga papa, mo nga kaipatu i nga whaea, mo nga kaikohuru tangata,

knowing that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers,

10 Mo te hunga moepuku, moe kino i te tane, tahae tangata, korero teka, oati teka, a ki te mea tera atu tetahi mea kahore nei e rite ki te whakaako tika;

and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath

11 Rite tonu tenei ki te rongopai o te kororia o te Atua hari, ki te mea kua tukua mai nei ki ahau.

and whatever (else) is opposed to the healthful doctrine of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.

12 E whakawhetai atu nei ahau ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki to tatou Ariki, nana nei ahau i whakakaha; i whakaaro hoki ia he tangata pono ahau, a meinga ana ahau hei minita;

And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister; me,

13 Ahau nei, te tangata kohukohu i mua, te kaiwhakatoi, whakatupu kino: heoi i tohungia ahau, no te mea i meinga kuwaretia e ahau i runga i te whakaponokore:

who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

14 Tino nui rawa hoki te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, hui tahi ki te whakapono, ki te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.

15 He pono te korero, he pai hoki kia tangohia rawatia, I haere mai a Karaiti Ihu ki te ao ki te whakaora i te hunga hara; ko te tino tangata hara o ratou ko ahau.

Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

16 Heoi na konei ahau i tohungia ai, kia ai ko ahau ki mua hei whakaaturanga ma Ihu Karaiti i nga manawanui maha, hei tohu ki te hunga e whakapono ki a ia a muri ake nei, kia ora tonu ai ratou. (aiōnios g166)

But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Na, ki te Kingi ora tonu, e kore nei e pirau, e kore nei e kitea, ko ia nei anake te Atua matau, waiho atu i a ia te honore me te kororia ake ake. Amine. (aiōn g165)

But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Ka tukua atu nei e ahau tenei kupu ako ki a koe, e taku tamaiti, e Timoti, ko te poropititanga ano tenei i puta mai i mua mou, hei mea i a koe kia whawhai i te whawhai pai;

This commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare with faith and with a good conscience.

19 Kia mau ki te whakapono me te hinengaro pai; he mea nei ena kua akiritia atu e etahi, ka meinga to ratou whakapono he kaipuke pakaru:

For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;

20 No ratou a Haimeniu raua ko Arehanera, kua tukua nei e ahau ki a Hatana, kia whakaakona ai kia kaua e kohukohu.

as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.
