1 U Timotheo 4
1 Eshi Opepo ayanga pazeluzelu huje ehale zihweza bhamo bhaileha apinza nabhe maso atejeze opepo ezilenka na manyizye nuhala omwilu gagaifudiziwa agilenga malibho
But the Spirit distinctly says that in later times there will be some who will fall away from the faith, and devote their attention to misleading spirits, and to the teaching of demons,
2 esebho zyabho zyaigaluzanyiwa.
who will make use of the hypocrisy of lying teachers. These people’s consciences are seared,
3 Waiwazijila aweje naposhele evyale huje Ongolobhe abhombele vitumishe asalifye wamo bhabho bhaposhela nabhe bhamenye lyoli.
and they discourage marriage and enjoin abstinence from certain kinds of food; though God created these foods to be enjoyed thankfully by those who hold the faith and have attained a full knowledge of the truth.
4 Kila hatu hahahweli Ongolobhe abhombelehiza. Nahamo hasatiposhela asalifye hahahwazihwa akhanwe.
Everything created by God is good, and there in nothing that need be rejected – provided only that it is received thankfully;
5 Hwa huje shibhozewa ashilile izu lya Ngolobhe na hudala elya eputo.
for it is consecrated by God’s blessing and by prayer.
6 Kashile ubhagabheshe amanongwa ega hwitagalila lya aholo, obhabhe tumwa omwiza wa Yesu Kristi. Kashile bhalevizye hunongwa ye winza nahuje amanyizye aminza goga fwata.
Put all this before the followers, and you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, sustained by the precepts of the faith and of that good teaching by which you have guided your life.
7 Lakini zihane evilale vya msii vila vyeviganwa na bhashe agogolo afumepo manyila wewe owiza.
As for profane legends and old wives’ tales, leave them alone. Train yourself to lead a religious life;
8 Hwa huje amazoezi agebele gawaziwa hashee huje uwinza gawaziwa eshihumambo goti. Abheshe ahadi husiku izya sheshinagala gagahwiza.
for while the training of the body is of service in some respects, religion is of service in all, carrying with it, as it does, a promise of life both here and hereafter.
9 Amazu ega gaposhelelwe uwaziwa ahwiteshelwe hanii.
How true that saying is and worthy of the fullest acceptance!
10 Hwa huje diomana titeseha natibhomba embombo ahwitume sana hwahuje tilinao odandamazu ashilile Ongolobhe alimwomi omwene ofyozi wabhantu bhoti, lakini huje bhabha huposhela.
With that aim we toil and struggle, for we have set our hopes on the living God, who is the Savior of all, and especially of those who hold the faith.
11 Ogayanje na abhamanyizye amambo ego.
Remember these things in your teaching.
12 Omuntu wowonti sahwaziwa ahwisye osahala waho. Afumepo obheshilole zyo hwabhonti bhabha huposhela, katika ayanje, ajende, aganane, owinza na ahwiyozye.
Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but, by your conversation, your conduct, your love, your faith, and your purity, be an example to those who hold the faith.
13 Mpaka penaihweza khalaga amanyile naasundane, naamanyizye.
Until I come, apply yourself to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
14 Ugajehwewe eshibhonesyezyo sheshili mhati yaho huje wapewilwe ashilile okho wa huje abheshelwe amakhono nazee.
Do not neglect the divine gift within you, which was given you, amid many a prediction, when the hands of the church elders were laid on your head.
15 Ogenye amambo ega. Ukhale katika ego akule hwaho hubhe wazi hwabhantu bhonti. Oyenyaje sana idala lyabho na manyizye.
Practice these things, devote yourself to them, so that your progress may be plain to everyone.
16 Khalaga mamambo ego. Maana pobhombesho obhahwifyole umwene na bhala bhabha hutejezya.
Look to yourself as well as to your teaching. Persevere in this, for your doing so will mean salvation for yourself as well as for your hearers.
