1 KuThimothi 1
1 Mina Phawuli, umpostoli kaKhristu uJesu ngokulaya kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu lokukaKhristu uJesu ithemba lethu,
Paulo, n'tume ghwa Kristu Yesu, kulengana ni amri jha Bwana K'yara ni mwokozi ghwa jhotu Yesu Kristu jhaajhele bhujasiri bhwitu,
2 KuThimothi indodana yami eqotho ekukholweni ngithi: Umusa lesihawu kanye lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba lakuKhristu uJesu iNkosi yethu kakube kuwe.
kwa Timotheo mwanabhangu ghwa kweli mu imani: Neema, rehema ni amani syasihomela kwa K'yara Dadi ni Kristu Bwana bhitu.
3 Njengoba ngakukhuthaza ekuyeni kwami eMasedoniya, hlala khonapho e-Efesu ukuze ulaye abantu abathile ukuba bangafundisi imfundiso yamanga futhi
Kama kyanisiili bho nibhokili kulota Makedonia, usialaghe Efeso ili kwamba ubhwesiajhi kubhaamuru bhanu fulani bhasifundisi mafundisu tofauti.
4 loba ukuchitha isikhathi ngezinganekwane langezimbali zensendo ezingapheliyo. Lokhu kubanga ukuphikisana hatshi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokukholwa.
Kabhele bhasipelekesi fijegu ni orodha sya nasaba syasibelikujha ni mwishu. Agha ghisababisya mabishanu nesu kuliko kubhasaidila kujhendelesya mpango bhwa K'yara bhwa imani.
5 Inhloso yalo umlayo luthando oluvela enhliziyweni emhlophe, lesazela esihle lokholo oluqotho.
Basi lilengo lya lilaghisu e'le ndo bhupendo bhwabhwihoma mu muoyo bhunofu, mu dhamiri jhinofu ni mu imani jha bhukweli.
6 Abanye sebedukile kulokhu baphendukela ekukhulumeni okuyize.
Baadhi jha bhanu bhalidulili lilengo bhakaghaleka mafundisu agha ni kusanukila malongesi gha kipumbafu.
7 Bafuna ukuba ngabafundisi bomthetho kodwa kabakwazi abakhuluma ngakho loba lokhu abakuqinisa kangaka ngesibindi.
Bhilonda kujha bhalimu bha sheria, lakini bhamanyilepi kyabhijobha au kyabhisisitisya.
8 Siyakwazi ukuthi umthetho ulungile nxa umuntu ewusebenzisa kuhle.
lakini tumanyili kujha sheria ndo jhinofu kama munu akajhitumila kwa usahihi.
9 Siyakwazi lokuthi umthetho kawenzelwanga abantu abalungileyo kodwa wenzelwa abeqa imithetho labahlamuki, abangamaziyo uNkulunkulu labayizoni, abangalunganga labangakholwayo; wenzelwa ababulala oyise labonina, lababulali,
Tumanyili kujha, sheria jhatongibhulepi kwandabha jha munu mwenye haki, bali kwandabha jha bhavunja sheria ni bhaasi, bhanu bhabhabelikujha bhatauwa ni bhenye dhambi ni bhabhabelili kujha ni K'yara ni bhaovu. Jhitongibhu kwandabha jha bhabhikoma Dadi ni bhanyinabhabhi,
10 lezifebe, izitabane, abathengisa izigqili labaqamba amanga kanye labafakazela amanga kanye lokunye okuphambene lemfundiso eqotho
kwa ndabha jha bhauaji, kwandabha jha bhaasherati, kwa ndabha jha bhanu bhazinzi, kwandabha jha bhanu bhabhiteka bhanu ni kubhabheka bhatumwa kwandabha jha bhadesi, kwandabh jha mashahidi bha bhudesi, ni jhejhioha jha ajhele kinyume ni majhelekesu gha bhuaminifu.
11 evumelana levangeli elilenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu obusisekileyo, enginika lona.
Majhelekesu agha ghihomela ni injili jhajhijhele ni bhutukufu bhwa K'yara jha abarikibhu ambajho kwa bhene niaminibhu.
12 Ngiyambonga uKhristu uJesu iNkosi yethu onginike amandla, wangibona ngithembekile njalo wangibeka emsebenzini wakhe.
Nikambombesya Yesu Kristu Bwana ghwitu. Anipelili ng'hofu, kwa kujha anibhalangili nene kujha mwaminifu, na anibhekili mu huduma.
13 Lanxa ngake ngaba ngumhlambazi, lomhlukuluzi, lesidlwangudlwangu, ngenzelwa isihawu ngoba ngakwenza ngokungazi langokungakholwa.
Najhele munu ghwa kukufuru, n'tesaji ni munu ghwa ngondo. Lakini nakabhili rehema kwandabha nabhombili kwa ujinga kwa kutokukiera.
14 Umusa weNkosi wathululelwa phezu kwami ngokwanda okukhulu, ndawonye lokukholwa kanye lothando olukuKhristu uJesu.
Lakini neema jha K'yara ghwitu jhimemili imani ni bhupendo bhwabhujhele mwa Kristu Yesu.
15 Nansi isitsho esiqotho esifanele ukwamukelwa esithi: UKhristu uJesu weza emhlabeni ukuba asindise izoni, mina ngingesibi kakhulu kulazo.
Bhujumbe obho ndo bhwakuaminika na bhwilondeka kupokelibhwa ni bhoha jha kujha Kristu Yesu ahidili pa duniani kuokola bhenye dhambi. Nene nembimbi kuliko bhoha.
16 Kodwa ngenxa yalesosizatho ngenzelwa isihawu ukuze kuthi ngami isoni esibi kakhulu uJesu Khristu abonakalise ukubekezela kwakhe okungelamkhawulo njengesibonelo kulabo abakholwa kuye bamukele lokuphila okungapheliyo. (aiōnios g166)
Lakini kwa ndabha ejhe nene napelibhu rehema ili kwamba mugati mwa nene kwanza, Kristu Yesu adhihirishiajhi bhuvumilivu bhuoha. Abhombili naha kama kielelesu kwa bhoha bhabhibetakun'tumaini muene kwa ndabha jha bhusima bhwa milele. (aiōnios g166)
17 Manje kuyo iNkosi yaphakade engafiyo, engabonakaliyo, uNkulunkulu yedwa, udumo lenkazimulo akube kuye kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
Na henu kwa mfalme jha abelikujha ni mwisu, jhaifwalepi, jhaibelakubhoneka, K'yara muene ijhelayi heshima ni bhutukufu milele ni milele. Amina. (aiōn g165)
18 Thimothi ndodana yami, ngikunika umlayo lo ekulondolozeni iziphrofethi ezake zenziwa ngawe ukuze uthi ngokuzikhumbula ulwe ukulwa okuhle,
Nikalibheka lilaghisu e'le palongolo pa Timotheo, mwana bhangu. Nibhomba naha kulengana ni bhunabii bhwabhwapisibhu hoti kuhusu bhebh'e, ili kwamba uhusikayi mu ngondo jhinofu.
19 ubambelele ekukholweni lesazeleni esihle. Abanye bakwalile lokhu, ngakho-ke, babhidliza ukukholwa kwabo.
Khetayi naha ili kwamba ujhelayi ni imani ni dhamiri jhinofu. Baadhi jha bhanu bhaghabelili agha bhakajhangamisya imani.
20 Phakathi kwabo kuloHimeniyasi lo-Alekizanda esengibanikele kuSathane ukuba bafundiswe ukungahlambazi uNkulunkulu.
Kama fela Himeneyo ni Alekizanda ambabho nimpelili lisyetani ili bhamanyisibhwayi bhasikufuru.
