Timoti 4
1 neke uMhepo ijova kisila kufisa kuuti, ifighono ifya vusililo vamonga vivuhilagha kuvigilila uvwakyang'ani vwa lwitiko, neke vivingililagha imhepo isa vusyangi, ni mbulanisio isa Setano.
Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons;
2 avaanhu vano vivulanisia isio ve vakedusi, kange vadesi vano inyvonelo saave sifwile.
through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their own consciences seared as with a hot iron;
3 avua vikuvasigha avange kuuti valeke kutolana, nambe kulia ifyakulia fimonga, fino uNguluve alyafipelile kuuti, avitiki vafyupilaghe nu luhongesio, ulwakuva vavutang'hinie uvwakyang'haani.
forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth.
4 ifipelua fyoni ifya Nguluve finofu, jeeje kukaana kimonga, looli fyupilwaghe nu mwojo ughwa luhongesia.
For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.
5 ulwakuva sino uNguluve ijova mulisio lyake, ni nyifuunyo siitu isa luhongesio, fihufia kuuti ifio fyitikisivue.
For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
6 ungavapeele avitiki imbulanisio isio, apuo pe ghuuva m'bombi nnofu ghwa Yeesu Kilisite, kange ghuuva ukuliile vunofu muvwakyang'ahaani vwa lwitiko lwitu na mumbulanisio inofu sino uve usivingiliile.
If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, and are, so close a follower.
7 uve ufileke lwoni ifipango ifya vakuulu ifisila luvumbulilo, neke jaatu ughimbaghe kukukala muvughane uvwa Nguluve.
But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, have nothing to do with.
8 kukughuhonga um'bili kuuva ni ngufu, kwelule uluvumbululo, ludebe, kwe kukangasia um'bili ghake. na looli, kughimba kukufunya na kukum'bingilila uNguluve, luvumbulilo kukila sooni. ulwakuva ulu lukuatupeela ulufingo ulwa kukava uvwumi uvwa lino na vuno vukwisa”.
Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.
9 ilisio ilio lya kyang'ani, lino avaanhu vanoghiile kukulyupila.
Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal acceptance:
10 mu uluo tughimba na kuvomba imbombo, ulwakuva tukumuhuvila uNguluve juno mwumi, uMpoki ghwa vaanhu vooni vano vikwitika.
and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.
11 isio se sino unoghiile kukuvavulanisia na kukuvalaghila avitiki kuuti vasivingililaghe.
Command this and teach this.
12 nambe avaanhu vikukuvona ulin'debe, ulekaghe kukulekelesia vakubenapule, ulwene uve ughimbaghe neke uvusaghe kihwani kuviti munjovele, mumaghendele, mulughano, mulwitiko na muvugholofu.
Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example for your fellow Christians to imitate.
13 ughimbaghe kukuvimbila avaanhu aMalembe aMimike, kange udalikilaghe na kuvulanisia kuhanga pano niliiva nisile.
Till I come, bestow your attention on reading, exhortation and teaching.
14 ulekaghe kuvuhila kukukivombela ikipugha ikipelua kino uNguluve akupeliile uvwimila amasio gha vavili, na pano ghwalyimikue na valoleleli va kipugha kya vitiki.
Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, which were conferred on you through a divine revelation when the hands of the elders were placed upon you.
15 ughimbaghe kuvomba isio nu mwojo ghwako ghwoni. kuuti muvwumi vwako avaanhu vooni vajaghaghe imbombo jaako.
Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them; so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all.
16 ghulolelelaghe amaghendele ni mbulanisio saako. nungilamwaghe, ulwakuva pano ghuvomba isio ghukulusia uvwumi vwako nu vwa vano vikukupulikisia.
Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.
