1 Timotius 1
1 Timotius rala maloleꞌ! Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Paulus. Lamatualain soꞌu au dadꞌi Yesus Kristus dedꞌenun. Hita tamahena neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana fee nggita tasodꞌa takandoo to E, huu Lamatualain fee hita tasodꞌa mia basa sala tara. Tius! Ho onaꞌ au ana ngga ena, huu au mana utudꞌu dalaꞌ de mumuhere neu Kristus. Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, hita Aman, no Yesus Kristus, hita malanggan, ratudꞌu rala malole nara no susue-lalai nara, ma fee nggo musodꞌa no mole-dꞌame.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the command of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
to Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Feꞌesaꞌan, ruꞌa nggita taꞌabꞌue mia kota Efesus. Leleꞌ au ae uu sia propinsi Makedonia, au huhuar nggo fo muhani sia Efesus. Te leleꞌ naa, hambu atahori ra tao atahori saraniꞌ ra bingun no nenoriꞌ nda matetuꞌ sa. Dadꞌi au oꞌe muu ai se, fo ara afiꞌ ranori rakandoo taꞌo naa.
Just as I urged yoʋ when I was going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that yoʋ may charge certain people not to teach different doctrines
4 Atahori ra o ngganggari fai parsumaꞌ a reu dui-bꞌengga dudꞌui pepeko-lelekoꞌ fai maꞌahulun, boe ma rareresi soꞌal dꞌui-baes rakandooꞌ a. Dedꞌeꞌat naa ra taoꞌ a atahori ra ratofa ma rasodꞌa nda ramahere Lamatualain sa.
or to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which promote disputes rather than the plan of God that operates by faith.
5 Au unori nggo ia, naa fo munori atahori mamahereꞌ ra fo rasodꞌa no susueꞌ mia rala meumareꞌ, dudꞌuꞌa ndo-tetuꞌ, ma nemehereꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ.
The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.
6 Te meser ruma raꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ ma nggari hendi nenoriꞌ naa. Boe ma ara reu ngganggari fai a noꞌ a nereresit ma olaꞌ baro-leli.
Some have strayed from these and have turned aside to meaningless talk,
7 Ara ratudꞌu ao nara rae, sira, meser mana ranori baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara. Ara koa ao nara rae sira meser monaeꞌ ra, te nda rahine saa fo ranoriꞌ naa ra sa boe.
desiring to be teachers of the law, although they do not understand what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8 Basa hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, basa baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara, maloleꞌ! Sadꞌi hita pake se tungga Lamatualain masud na no matetuꞌ.
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully.
9 Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra, nda nenesuraꞌ fee atahori mana rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ sa. Te nenesuraꞌ fee neu atahori mana mamue, nda mana rena parendaꞌ sa, rasodꞌa raꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ ro Lamatualain, hiiꞌ a tao deꞌulakaꞌ, nda taoafiꞌ neu Lamatualain sa, mana raloe-radꞌae dala meumareꞌ a, mana risa atahori, ma mana risa ama-ina nara boe.
We know that the law is not laid down for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
10 Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra o nenesuraꞌ fee neu atahori mana hohonggeꞌ, touꞌ sao touꞌ, mana lea rendi atahori fo roꞌe doi sosoiꞌ, mana pepeko-lelekoꞌ, sakasii ombo-koson, ma fee basa atahori ralena langga neu nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a.
fornicators, homosexuals, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to the sound teaching
11 Nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ naa ra, laoꞌ mia Lamatualain Dudꞌui Malolen, fo Ana fee neu au ꞌa. Lamatualain naa, manaseliꞌ. Atahori soꞌu rananaru E o, nandaa.
that conforms to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.
12 Au oꞌe makasi nae-nae neu hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus huu Ana namahere au, ma tao au bisa ulalao ue-tataon.
I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, because he considered me to be faithful and appointed me to serve him,
13 Feꞌesaꞌan, au hiiꞌ a olaꞌ uꞌumuti fo uꞌututudꞌaꞌ Yesus Naran, ma tao doidꞌoso atahori mana tungga dꞌala masodꞌan. Au hiiꞌ a tuni-ndeni ulutu se. Au deꞌulaka ngga taꞌo naa, huu leleꞌ naa, au nda uhine saa fo au taoꞌ naa, ma nda feꞌe umuhere hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus sa. Huu au nda uhine saa fo au taoꞌ naa sa, dadꞌi Ana nda liliiꞌ au sa. Ma Ana o natudꞌu susuen neu au. Lenaꞌ fai, natudꞌu rala malolen neu au nakandooꞌ a! Ana mbori-mboꞌa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee au, fo umuhere uhereꞌ neu E, ma sue atahori ra onaꞌ Ana sue au boe.
even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man. But I received mercy because I had ignorantly acted in unbelief,
and the grace of our Lord abounded to me greatly with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Hita o rena-renaꞌ tae, “Yesus Kristus nema sia raefafoꞌ ia, fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra.” Memaꞌ tebꞌe taꞌo naa! Mia basa atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, au ia deꞌulaka ngga naseliꞌ.
This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
16 Mae deꞌulaka ngga onaꞌ naa o, Lamatualain naꞌetuꞌ nala nae nda huku-doki au sa. Ana nau pake au dadꞌi conto fo utudꞌu Yesus Kristus rala loan neu atahori deꞌulaka manaseliꞌ onaꞌ au ia. No taꞌo naa, atahori feaꞌ mana tao salaꞌ ra ramahere neu E, fo ara o rasodꞌa rakando ro E. (aiōnios g166)
But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost sinner, Jesus Christ might show complete patience, making me an example for those who would come to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Koa-kio Lamatualain! Akaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne, Lamatualain; nda hambu laen sa! Mane mana toꞌu parendaꞌ nda manabasaꞌ sa. Eni nasodꞌa nakandooꞌ a. Eni nda mate sa. Atahori nda rita E no mata ao sisi nara sa. Basa hadꞌa-hormat ma kokoa-kikioꞌ fee neu E. losa doo nduꞌu-dꞌoon neu! Amin. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Ana ngga Timotius, rala malole! Au ae ufadꞌe nggo, saa fo ho musi tao sia ue-tatao mara. Basa ia ra, tungga saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara olaꞌ memaꞌ soꞌal ue-tataom. Mete ma ho tungga dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa ra no matetuꞌ, na, ho onaꞌ soldꞌadꞌu esa, natati nahine, labꞌan deꞌulakaꞌ ra.
This charge I entrust to yoʋ, Timothy, my child, according to the prophecies once made about yoʋ, so that by them yoʋ may fight the good fight,
19 Toꞌu muhereꞌ nemeherem neu Kristus. Ma munea fo ralam meuꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Huu hambu atahori nda nau rena sira rala dudꞌuꞌa nara sa. Naa tao sira nemehere nara rambalutu, onaꞌ ofai sae nala fatu mbiaꞌ.
having faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have shipwrecked their faith.
20 Himenius no Alexander, onaꞌ naa boe! Naa de, au hela fee se reu nitur malangga monaen nauli se. Au tao taꞌo naa, fo dadꞌi nenoriꞌ sa, fo ara afiꞌ tao ralutu Lamatuaꞌ naran fai.
Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan so that they may learn not to blaspheme.
