1 Timoti 1
1 Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Yesu Kilisitu kwa malagizu ga Chapanga msangula witu na Yesu Kilisitu huvalila yitu.
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 Nikuyandikila Timoti mwana vangu wa chakaka musadika. Nikuganila ubwina wa Chapanga na lipyana na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu.
to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Niyupa utama ku Efeso ngati chana kuyupili panahambayi Makedonia. Vavili vandu kwenuko veviwula mawuliwu gaudese. Vabesayi vandu avo.
Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
4 Vajovela veleka luhumu zangali chindu na magono goha kuluwula mahina ga vagogo changali mwishu, ndi vevileta ndindani. Vikumtangatila lepi mundu yeyoha kuhenga lihengu la Chapanga lelihengeka musadika.
nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
5 Chindu chivaha cha mhilu uwu ndi kukangamalisa uganu weuhumila mumtima wa msopi, mtima wa kugana kuhenga gabwina, na sadika ya chakaka.
But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
6 Vandu vangi vakongiwi na kung'anamukila malongesi gangali utangatila.
which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
7 Vigana kuvya vawuliwa va malagizu, nambu nakuchimanya chevakujijova vene amala mambu gevikangamalisa.
desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
8 Timanyili kuvya malagizu gabwina, ngati mundu ilola cheyiganikiwa kulola.
Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
9 Timanyili kuvya malagizu nakuvikiwa ndava ya vandu vabwina, ndi vandu vahakau, vangayidakila malagizu, vevakumbela Chapanga na vandu vangamuyogopa Chapanga, amala kumgundamila Chapanga, vandu vevakuvakoma vadadi na vanyina vavi, amala vakomaji vovoha vala.
knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
10 Muhilu uvikiwi ndava ya vevikita ukemi na vagosi vevikita ukemi vene kwa vene, vevigulisa vandu, vaudese na vevilapa udese amala vovoha vangalanda mawuliwu gachakaka.
fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 Mawuliwu aga gihuma mu Lilovi la Bwina genipewili na Chapanga muni niyikokosayi. Lilovi la Bwina lenili lihuma kwa Chapanga mweavi na ukulu na mweilumbiwa magono goha.
according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
12 Nikumsengusa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu mwenipelili makakala ndava ya lihengu langu. Nisengula ndava ya kunilola nene kuvya msadikika, anihagwili nimuhengela.
[And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
13 Hati peatumbwili pala namng'ahili na kumliga na kumvevesa, nambu Chapanga anihengili lipyana, ndava muni navili lepi na sadika kwakona, ndi namanyili lepi chenikita.
who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
14 Nambu Bambu witu anipelili ubwina waki kwa umahele, anipelili sadika na uganu wetivili nawu mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
15 Majovo aga ndi gachakaka, na kangi uganikiwa kuyidakiwa, Kilisitu Yesu abwelili pamulima kuvasangula vevakumbudila Chapanga. Na nene ndi mbudanu kuliku venavo voha,
Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
16 nambu Chapanga anihengili lipyana. Muni nene mwenavili nikumbudila Chapanga kuliku voha, Kilisitu Yesu alangisa ukangamala waki wangali mwishu muni kandahi nivya luhumu kwa vala vevakumsadika na kupokela wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kwaki mwene mweavi Nkosi wa magono goha, mwangafwa, mwangaloleka na mweavili Chapanga mwene, kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na ukulu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Mwana vangu Timoti, nikugotolela lilagizu lenili kulandana na malovi ga ulota gegajoviki kadeni ndava yaku. Gatumila malovi ago gavyai vindu vya kukomenela ngondo bwina,
This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
19 na uvyayi na mtima wa kukumbuka kukita gabwina. Vandu vangi nakuyuwanila maholo gavi ndi vakahalibisa sadika yavi.
maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
20 Pagati yavi vavili Humenayo na Alekizanda, ndi nivatovili kwa kuvagotola mu mawoko ga Setani, muni vawuliwayi vakotoka kumliga Chapanga.
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
