1 Timothawus 1

1 Bulus, unan kaduran Yisa nanya nduka Kutellẹ unan tucu bite, nin Yisa likara nibinai bite.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, 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 child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the 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 I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

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 to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]

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 a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

6 Among in nanya ntanni na lasin inn nanya nile imone inani din liru hem.

from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,

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 the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

8 Tiyiru uduka chaun, unit nwa suu kata nin nin.

But we know that the Law is good, if a man 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 the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, 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 whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the 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 was committed to my trust.

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 him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

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.

though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; 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 exceedingly 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.

True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, 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 cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (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 eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. 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 thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them 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.

having faith, and a good conscience, which some thrusting away made shipwreck concerning the faith;

20 An Haminiyus nin Alekzanda, allenghe na nwa nakpa shintan ku bara inan duro nani nnanzan tizogo Kuutellẹ

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
