1 U Timotheo 1
1 U Paulo, Utumwa wa Yesu Kristi, alengane ne ndajizyo zya Ngolobhe watokoye ate O Yesu Kristi wali jasili wetu,
From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the appointment of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope.
2 hwa Timotheo omwana wane welyoli hulweteshelo lwa lufuma hwa Ngolobhe o Baba no Kristi oYesu obhwa wetu.
To Timothy, my true child in the faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.
3 Nashi sanabhozyezye nanasogolaga abhale hu Makedonia, osagala hu Efeso ili aje owezye abhabhozye abhantu aje waganjefundizye enongwa ezyenje.
I beg you, as I did when I was on my way into Macedonia, to remain at Ephesus; so that you may instruct certain people there not to teach new and strange doctrines,
4 Nantele bhaganje tejezye enongwa zye vilale ne ozoza zye shikholo zya sezili no mwisho. Ezyo zileta amabisanyo ashile awavwe ahwengwa Ngolobhe gwe lweteshelo.
nor to devote their attention to legends and interminable genealogies, which tend to give rise to argument rather than to further that divine plan which is revealed in the faith.
5 Ilengo lye ndajizyo ezyo luganano lwalufuma humoyo aminza humwoyo ogwinza na hulweteshelo lwe lyoli.
The object of all instruction is to call forth that love which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.
6 Abhantu wamo wakosile shashahanziwaga bhazileshile endijizyo ezi bhagulishiye enongwa zyabho endema ndema.
And it is because they have not aimed at these things that the attention of certain people has been diverted to unprofitable subjects.
7 Bhawanza aje bhabhanje waalimu bhe ndajizyo, lelo sebhawelewa habhayanga au habhasimisizya.
They want to be teachers of the Law, and yet do not understand either the words they use, or the subjects on which they speak so confidently.
8 ila tihwelewa aje endajizyo nyinza hwa muntu waizufumila sawasawa.
We know, of course, that the Law is excellent, when used legitimately,
9 Tehwelewa aje, endajizyo sezya bhehwelwe kwa ajili ya muntu we lyoli ila hwa bhala bhabhana na nkanye endajizyo na bhe mbibhi, abhantu bhasebhaputi abhe mbibhi, nabhasebhali no Ngolobhe nabhe mbibhi. Etungwilwe hwebho bhabhahudu ababa na maye bhabho, hwebho agoji,
by one who recognises that laws were not made for good people, but for the lawless and disorderly, for irreligious and wicked people, for those who are irreverent and profane, for those who ill-treat their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
10 kwa ajili yamalaya nebho awantu azinzi, nebho bhabhateka awantu nabhabhombe watumwa, sebabu yilenka, na shahidi bhilenka, na bhonti na bhonti bhabhali shingunga ne nongwa yenpiana.
for the immoral, for perverts, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is opposed to sound Christian teaching –
11 Enongwa ezi zifumilana izu lye umwamu wa Ngolobhe welusayo na ambayo hweyo bhaniminile.
as is taught in the glorious good news of the ever-blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
12 Ehusalifya o Yesu Kristi Ogosi wetu. Ampiye enguvu abazizye ane aje endi mwaminifu, na wambeha pambombo yanewe.
I am thankful to Christ Jesus, our Lord, who has been my strength, for showing that he thought me worthy of trust by appointing me to his ministry,
13 Nali muntu wemasola, watese na we wibho. Lakini ansajiye afuatanaje na bhombile bila amanye siyo senaputaga.
though I once used to blaspheme, and to persecute, and to insult. Yet mercy was shown me, because I acted in ignorance, while still an unbeliever;
14 Eneema ya Ngolobhe wetu imemile lwetweshelo no lwomvwano wawuli hwa Kristi oYesu.
and the loving kindness of our Lord was boundless, and filled me with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.
15 Enongwa ezi zya hwetehwe na ahwanziwa aposhelewe nabhantu whonti, aje Okristi oYesu ahenzele munsi ahwokole bhe mbibhi. Ane endi bhibhi ashile wonti.
How true the saying is, and worthy of the fullest acceptance, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”! And there is no greater sinner than I!
16 Lakini ane napewilwe ehuluma aje mhati yane ane, awande gonti, oKristi oYesu awonesezye ou vumilivu wonti. Abhombile esho nanshi omfano gwa wonti bhabhai humweteshela omwene ashilile owomi wewilawila. (aiōnios g166)
Yet mercy was shown me for the express purpose that Christ Jesus might exhibit in my case, beyond all others, his exhaustless patience, as an example for those who were afterwards to believe on him and attain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Na esalezi omwene wasagali no umwisho, wasaga afwa, wasabhoneha, Ongolobhe mwene, ebhe heshima no umwamu wewilawila. Amina. (aiōn g165)
To the eternal King, ever-living, invisible, the one God, be ascribed honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Eweha endajizyo eli witazi lyaho Timotheo, mwana wane. Ewomba eshi alengane no kuwaa wawahepere epa kwanza elengane nawe aje obhe nawe muvitu evinza.
This, then, is the charge that I lay on you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with what was predicted of you – Fight the good fight in the spirit of those predictions,
19 Obhombe esho ili nkobhe no lweteshelo no mwoyo ogwinza bhamo bhamo wakhene ega walutezya ulweteshero.
with faith, and with a clear conscience; and it is because they have thrust this aside, that, as regards the faith, some have wrecked their lives.
20 Nashi shila ohemenayo no o Alekizanda ambao upiye o setano aje awafundizye bhaswilije.
Hymenaeus and Alexander are instances – the men whom I delivered over to Satan so that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
