1 Timotewu 1
1 Neni Paulu ntumintumi gwa Kristu Yesu kwa lilagaliru lya Mlungu Mlopoziya gwetu na Kristu Yesu litumbiru lyetu.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Nukulembera Timotewu yaguwera gambira mwana gwangu gwa nakaka munjimiru. Mlungu Tati gwetu na Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu kakupanani gwenga manemu ga Mlungu na lusungu na ponga.
to Timotheus — genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
3 Gulikali aku Efesu, handa ntambu yanukuluwiti nentu panweriti nankugenda Makedoniya. Na aku guwaleweleri wantu walii yawafunda mafundu ga mpayu.
according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus — I going on to Macedonia — that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,
4 Guwagambiri nawakolerana na tambu hera za kupaya pamuhera na kuvimana matawu ga wambuyi yagahera upeleru. Na kugamana matawu gavuwa ga wambuyi, geni gajega likakatala hera, pota kuwanyawa wantu mulihengu lya Mlungu lyalimanika kwa njimiru.
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: —
5 Nfiru ya amuli ayi ndo mafiliru yagalawa munjimiru iherepa na kufira kusyagula gaherepa na moyu gwa gwehera vidoda.
And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
6 Wantu wamu waleka njira kwa kugaleka aga na kuvigendera vitwatira vyavifaa ndiri.
from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,
7 Womberi wafira waweri wafunda wa Malagaliru ga Musa, kumbiti wavimana ndiri shawatakula ama galii gawagolokera.
willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
8 Tuvimana handa Malagaliru ga Musa gaherepa, handa pakagatendera ntambu yaifiruwa.
and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use it lawfully;
9 Ntambu iraayi gufiruwa kulihola handa Malagaliru ga Musa gatulwa ndiri toziya ya wantu waheri, kumbiti gatulwa toziya ya wantu yawamega malagaliru ga Musa na wantu yawajimira ndiri na wantu yawamtira ndiri Mlungu na wana vidoda na wantu wananagala ndiri na yawamana ndiri njira ya Mlungu na wantu yawawalaga wamawu na watati wawu ama walaga woseri walii.
having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
10 Malagaliru ga Musa gatulwa toziya ya wahumba na wapalu yawaligonja weni kwa weni na yawashuwuza wantu na yawapaya na yawalilapira kwa upaya ama yawatenda shoseri sha kugenderana ndiri na mafundu ga nakaka.
whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
11 Mafundu aga gapatikana Mushisoweru Shiwagira sha ukwisa wa Mlungu yakawera na matekeleru, ndogeni gampananitwi neni mpati kushibwera.
according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
12 Mayagashii Mtuwa gwetu Kristu Yesu yakampananiti makakala, toziya ya lihengu lyangu. Nongamayagashi kwa kumona neni ndo mwaminika, kansyaguliti numtenderi.
And I give thanks to him who enabled me — Christ Jesus our Lord — that he did reckon me stedfast, having put [me] to the ministration,
13 Makashu neni nweriti mwigiranga na mtabisiya na ndenditi ndewu, kumbiti Mlungu kamonera lusungu toziya nweriti ndiri na moyu, hangu nuvimaniti ndiri shanweriti nankutenda.
who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,
14 Na Mtuwa gwetu kamupananiti manemu gakuwi gavuwa, kamupananiti njimiru na mafiliru gatuwera naga kwa mukuwera pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus:
15 Utakula awu wanakaka nentu na ufaa kujimilwa, Kristu Yesu kiziti pasipanu kuwalopoziya wantu yawatenda vidoda. Naneni nanavidoda nentu ya woseri,
stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners — first of whom I am;
16 Kumbiti Mlungu kamoniriti lusungu neni nweriti nana vidoda nentu ya woseri su Kristu Yesu kalanguziyi uhepera wakuwi woseri kwa neni, handa shilanguziwu kwa walii woseri hawamjimiri shapakanu na kwanka ukomu wa mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during: (aiōnios g166)
17 Vinu kwa Mfalumi gwa mashaka goseri, yakaweza ndiri kuhowa na yakawoneka ndiri, Mlungu gwa gweka, su na iweri ligoya na ukwisa mashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōn g165)
and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honour and glory — to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Mwanagwangu Timotewu, nukupanana lilagaliru ali toziya ya visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu vyavikutakulira gwenga pamakashu. Guvitendi visoweru avi su guwezi kulikomanga ngondu iyerepa ya kulikomanga na ukondola,
This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,
19 Na gukamuli weri njimiru yaku na kuwera muntu wa kusyagula na kutenda yagawera gaherepa. Wantu wamonga waleka kutenda aga ata waguhalibiziya moyu gwawu.
having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
20 Pakati pawu Himenayu na Alekizanda, ndoweni nuwapanani kwa Shetani, su wavimani nawamwigilanga Mlungu kayi.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
