1 KuThimothi 1

1 UPawuli, umphostoli kaJesu Kristu njengokomlayo kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu, loweNkosi uJesu Kristu ithemba lethu,

asmākaṁ trāṇakartturīśvarasyāsmākaṁ pratyāśābhūmēḥ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya cājñānusāratō yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ paulaḥ svakīyaṁ satyaṁ dharmmaputraṁ tīmathiyaṁ prati patraṁ likhati|

2 kuTimothi umntanami weqiniso ekholweni: Umusa, isihawu, ukuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu loJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.

asmākaṁ tāta īśvarō'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca tvayi anugrahaṁ dayāṁ śāntiñca kuryyāstāṁ|

3 Njengoba ngakukhuthaza ukuthi uhlale eEfesu, ngisiya eMakedoniya, ukuze ulaye abathile ukuthi bangafundisi imfundiso eyehlukileyo,

mākidaniyādēśē mama gamanakālē tvam iphiṣanagarē tiṣṭhan itaraśikṣā na grahītavyā, anantēṣūpākhyānēṣu vaṁśāvaliṣu ca yuṣmābhi rmanō na nivēśitavyam

4 futhi bangananzeleli izinganekwane lendaba zosendo olokuzalana ezingapheliyo, ezibanga ukuphikisana kulokwakha kukaNkulunkulu okusekholweni.

iti kāṁścit lōkān yad upadiśērētat mayādiṣṭō'bhavaḥ, yataḥ sarvvairētai rviśvāsayuktēśvarīyaniṣṭhā na jāyatē kintu vivādō jāyatē|

5 Kodwa injongo yomlayo luthando oluvela enhliziyweni emhlophe lakusazela esihle lekholweni olungelakuzenzisa;

upadēśasya tvabhiprētaṁ phalaṁ nirmmalāntaḥkaraṇēna satsaṁvēdēna niṣkapaṭaviśvāsēna ca yuktaṁ prēma|

6 kulokhu abathile abaduhe kukho baphambukela ekukhulumeni okuyize,

kēcit janāśca sarvvāṇyētāni vihāya nirarthakakathānām anugamanēna vipathagāminō'bhavan,

7 befuna ukuthi babe ngabafundisi bomlayo, bengaqedisisi lezinto abazitshoyo, kumbe langezinto abaziqinisayo.

yad bhāṣantē yacca niścinvanti tanna budhyamānā vyavasthōpadēṣṭārō bhavitum icchanti|

8 Kodwa siyazi ukuthi umlayo ulungile, uba umuntu ewusebenzisa ngokomlayo,

sā vyavasthā yadi yōgyarūpēṇa gr̥hyatē tarhyuttamā bhavatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

9 esazi lokhu, ukuthi umlayo kawubekelwa olungileyo, kodwa abangelamlayo labangalaleliyo, abeyisa uNkulunkulu labayizoni, abangangcwele labangakholwayo, ababulala oyise lababulala onina, ababulala abantu,

aparaṁ sā vyavasthā dhārmmikasya viruddhā na bhavati kintvadhārmmikō 'vādhyō duṣṭaḥ pāpiṣṭhō 'pavitrō 'śuciḥ pitr̥hantā mātr̥hantā narahantā

10 izifebe, abesilisa abalalanayo, abathumba abantu, abaqambimanga, abephula izifungo, njalo nxa kukhona okunye okuphambene lemfundiso ephilileyo,

vēśyāgāmī puṁmaithunī manuṣyavikrētā mithyāvādī mithyāśapathakārī ca sarvvēṣāmētēṣāṁ viruddhā,

11 njengokwevangeli lenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu obusisiweyo, engaphathiswa lona.

tathā saccidānandēśvarasya yō vibhavayuktaḥ susaṁvādō mayi samarpitastadanuyāyihitōpadēśasya viparītaṁ yat kiñcid bhavati tadviruddhā sā vyavasthēti tadgrāhiṇā jñātavyaṁ|

12 Ngiyambonga-ke owanginika amandla, uKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu, ukuthi wangibona ngithembekile, wangimisa enkonzweni,

mahyaṁ śaktidātā yō'smākaṁ prabhuḥ khrīṣṭayīśustamahaṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|

13 engangikade ngingumhlambazi lomzingeli lomthuki; kodwa ngahawukelwa, ngoba ngangikwenza ngokungazi ekungakholweni;

yataḥ purā nindaka upadrāvī hiṁsakaśca bhūtvāpyahaṁ tēna viśvāsyō 'manyē paricārakatvē nyayujyē ca| tad aviśvāsācaraṇam ajñānēna mayā kr̥tamiti hētōrahaṁ tēnānukampitō'bhavaṁ|

14 kodwa umusa weNkosi yethu wengezelelwa kakhulu kanye lokholo lothando olukuKristu Jesu.

aparaṁ khrīṣṭē yīśau viśvāsaprēmabhyāṁ sahitō'smatprabhōranugrahō 'tīva pracurō'bhat|

15 Lithembekile lelilizwi njalo lifanele ukwemukelwa konke, ukuthi uKristu Jesu weza emhlabeni ukusindisa izoni, engiyinduna yazo mina;

pāpinaḥ paritrātuṁ khrīṣṭō yīśu rjagati samavatīrṇō'bhavat, ēṣā kathā viśvāsanīyā sarvvai grahaṇīyā ca|

16 kodwa ngenxa yalokhu ngahawukelwa, ukuze kimi engiyinduna uJesu Kristu abonakalise konke ukubekezela, ngibe yisibonelo kwabazakholwa kuye empilweni ephakade. (aiōnios g166)

tēṣāṁ pāpināṁ madhyē'haṁ prathama āsaṁ kintu yē mānavā anantajīvanaprāptyarthaṁ tasmin viśvasiṣyanti tēṣāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntē mayi prathamē yīśunā khrīṣṭēna svakīyā kr̥tsnā cirasahiṣṇutā yat prakāśyatē tadarthamēvāham anukampāṁ prāptavān| (aiōnios g166)

17 Kuyo-ke iNkosi eyisimakade, engabhubhiyo, engelakubonwa, uNkulunkulu yedwa ohlakaniphileyo, kakube udumo lobukhosi kuze kube nini lanininini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)

anādirakṣayō'dr̥śyō rājā yō'dvitīyaḥ sarvvajña īśvarastasya gauravaṁ mahimā cānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmēn| (aiōn g165)

18 Lumlayo ngiwunika wena, mntanami Timothi, njengeziprofetho ezenzakala kuqala ngawe, ukuze ngazo ulwe ukulwa okuhle,

hē putra tīmathiya tvayi yāni bhaviṣyadvākyāni purā kathitāni tadanusārād aham ēnamādēśaṁ tvayi samarpayāmi, tasyābhiprāyō'yaṁ yattvaṁ tai rvākyairuttamayuddhaṁ karōṣi

19 ubamba ukholo lesazela esihle, abanye abasininayo, bachithekelwa ngumkhumbi mayelana lokholo;

viśvāsaṁ satsaṁvēdañca dhārayasi ca| anayōḥ parityāgāt kēṣāñcid viśvāsatarī bhagnābhavat|

20 okukubo uHimeneyo loAleksandro, engibanikele kuSathane, ukuze bafunde ukuthi bangahlambazi.

humināyasikandarau tēṣāṁ yau dvau janau, tau yad dharmmanindāṁ puna rna karttuṁ śikṣētē tadarthaṁ mayā śayatānasya karē samarpitau|
