1 Timoti 1
1 Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Yesu Kilisitu kwa malagizu ga Chapanga msangula witu na Yesu Kilisitu huvalila yitu.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus—by injunction of God our Saviour and 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.
unto Timothy, my true child in faith: favour, 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 exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some—
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.
Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, —the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; —
5 Chindu chivaha cha mhilu uwu ndi kukangamalisa uganu weuhumila mumtima wa msopi, mtima wa kugana kuhenga gabwina, na sadika ya chakaka.
Now, the end of the charge, is love—out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, —
6 Vandu vangi vakongiwi na kung'anamukila malongesi gangali utangatila.
Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,
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 whereof they confidently affirm.
8 Timanyili kuvya malagizu gabwina, ngati mundu ilola cheyiganikiwa kulola.
Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: —
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, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, 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, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, —and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; —
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-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.
12 Nikumsengusa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu mwenipelili makakala ndava ya lihengu langu. Nisengula ndava ya kunilola nene kuvya msadikika, anihagwili nimuhengela.
Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, —
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.
Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:
14 Nambu Bambu witu anipelili ubwina waki kwa umahele, anipelili sadika na uganu wetivili nawu mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are 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, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy, —that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I;—
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)
Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, —that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding. (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, unto the King of the ages, —incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto 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, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.
19 na uvyayi na mtima wa kukumbuka kukita gabwina. Vandu vangi nakuyuwanila maholo gavi ndi vakahalibisa sadika yavi.
Holding faith and a good conscience, —which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: —
20 Pagati yavi vavili Humenayo na Alekizanda, ndi nivatovili kwa kuvagotola mu mawoko ga Setani, muni vawuliwayi vakotoka kumliga Chapanga.
Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.
