1 Timothawus 1
1 Bulus, unan kaduran Yisa nanya nduka Kutellẹ unan tucu bite, nin Yisa likara nibinai bite.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the appointment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Udu kitin Timothawus usaun kiden nanya nyinnu sa uyenu, ubolu kutellẹ niin lisosin limmang, unuzu Kutellẹ ucif bite nin Yisa cikilari bite.
to Timothy, my true son in the faith; grace, mercy, peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Nwa fo minu acara kube na nwa cinu udu makiduniya, so in Afiisus bara uwantin among udursuzu niimomom ugang, barra nani nan nbellu iincizunu sa ligan, nulale ba dak nin salin yinnu sa katuwa Kutellẹ.
As, on going into Macedonia, I besought you to remain in Ephesus, that you might charge some that they teach no other thing,
4 Na iwa dinja atuf kiti na nan nabin ninn nanan mmbellu ncizinu nimon sa ligan, allenge na idin dasu nin mannyardan nworu ibun ulin mbun katuwa Kutellẹ, nanya inyinnu sa uyenu.
nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which produce disputes rather than godly edification, which is in faith;
5 Ukullun duka unere usu, ullenge na unuzu kibinai kilau, nanya nkpilizu ucine, nin inyinnu sa uyenu un kidegen.
(Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and out of a good conscience, and out of faith unfeigned:
6 Among in nanya ntanni na lasin inn nanya nile imone inani din liru hem.
which things some not having aimed at, have turned aside to idle disputation,
7 Idinin su iso anan dursuzu nduka, vat nin woru na iyiru ille imon na iidin belle ba, sa ille imon na iinug in yisinaku.
desiring to be teachers of law, though understanding neither what they say nor of what they boldly affirm.
8 Tiyiru uduka chaun, unit nwa suu kata nin nin.
But we know that the law is good, if any one use it lawfully;
9 Ti yiru nani uduka na ina ti unin bara unan kibinai kilau ba, bara anan nsalin dartu nduke nin nanit agbas, bara anan salin dortu kutellẹ nin nan kulapi, bara anan indinong nin na nan nyassu Kutellẹ, bara anan mollusu nacif nan na nnah, bara anan mollusu nanit,
knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and for scorners, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
10 bara anan suzu nzina, nin nanlime anan nnozu nan nanlime, anan tuzuzu nanit udu licin, anann kinu, bara anan nisilin kinu, nin vat nimon inanzang,
for lewd persons, for sodomites, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and for whatever other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 bara uliru ugongon Kutellẹ un mari, ullenge na ina ti ku nanya nyinnu.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been intrusted to me.
12 Inmini din godu Yisa Kristi cikilari bite, ullenge na atayi agang, bara na ana yene unan nyinnu ninghe amini na ceyi nanya katuwa me.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, because he counted me faithful, and put me into the ministry;
13 Meng, na nwandi unan tizogo Kutellẹ, unan tizu nanit ineau, nin nan nnanzu. In mini na se nkunekune Kutellẹ bara na nwadi nsue nanya ntanni, nin salin nyinnu sa uyenu.
me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief:
14 Bara ngbardang nbolu Ncikilari bit nin nyinnu sa uyenu a usü in Yisa Kristi.
and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Ule ulirue ucinari ubatin iseru unin vat, bara Yisa na dak nanya nyulele ada tucu anan kulapi. Nanya mine miyari udiawe.
Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Vat nin nani, nwan buru nse nkunekune, bara nnanzang midiya nigh Kristi Yisa duro ngbardang nayi ashau me, vat, bara nso umuro kiti nalenge na iba yinnu nin ghe udu ulai sa ligang. (aiōnios g166)
But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nene udu kiti ngo nayiri vat, unan salin nkul, ulenge na idin yenju ghe ba, amere Kutellẹ cas, uzazinu ni ngongon udu kitime sa ligan. uso nani. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, be honor and glory from age to age. Amen.) (aiōn g165)
18 Timothy, usaun nin, nnafi ka kadure, bara imon ile na Kutellẹ wa bellin uworsu litife, bara ille imone yisina unan su Likum Licine!
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare,
19 Bara uyita nin nyinnu sa uyenu nin kibinai kicine. Ule imon na amon na nari inin uyinnu mine sa uyenu una nana.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenæus and Alexander,
20 An Haminiyus nin Alekzanda, allenghe na nwa nakpa shintan ku bara inan duro nani nnanzan tizogo Kuutellẹ
whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to revile.
