1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the command of God our Savior and Sovereign Jesus Christ our hope,

Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Yesu Kilisitu kwa malagizu ga Chapanga msangula witu na Yesu Kilisitu huvalila yitu.

2 to Timothy, true son by faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nikuyandikila Timoti mwana vangu wa chakaka musadika. Nikuganila ubwina wa Chapanga na lipyana na uteke kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu.

3 You recall that I urged you to remain in Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, in order that you should command certain persons to stop teaching a different doctrine

Niyupa utama ku Efeso ngati chana kuyupili panahambayi Makedonia. Vavili vandu kwenuko veviwula mawuliwu gaudese. Vabesayi vandu avo.

4 and occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than the godly training which is by faith.

Vajovela veleka luhumu zangali chindu na magono goha kuluwula mahina ga vagogo changali mwishu, ndi vevileta ndindani. Vikumtangatila lepi mundu yeyoha kuhenga lihengu la Chapanga lelihengeka musadika.

5 Now the goal of that command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith;

Chindu chivaha cha mhilu uwu ndi kukangamalisa uganu weuhumila mumtima wa msopi, mtima wa kugana kuhenga gabwina, na sadika ya chakaka.

6 some having strayed from these have been turned aside to empty talk,

Vandu vangi vakongiwi na kung'anamukila malongesi gangali utangatila.

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, not understanding either what they say or the things that they affirm.

Vigana kuvya vawuliwa va malagizu, nambu nakuchimanya chevakujijova vene amala mambu gevikangamalisa.

8 Now we know that the law is good if one uses it correctly,

Timanyili kuvya malagizu gabwina, ngati mundu ilola cheyiganikiwa kulola.

9 knowing that law is not made for a righteous person but for lawless and rebellious ones, for ungodly and sinners, for unholy and profane, for father-smiters and mother-smiters, for murderers,

Timanyili kuvya malagizu nakuvikiwa ndava ya vandu vabwina, ndi vandu vahakau, vangayidakila malagizu, vevakumbela Chapanga na vandu vangamuyogopa Chapanga, amala kumgundamila Chapanga, vandu vevakuvakoma vadadi na vanyina vavi, amala vakomaji vovoha vala.

10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

Muhilu uvikiwi ndava ya vevikita ukemi na vagosi vevikita ukemi vene kwa vene, vevigulisa vandu, vaudese na vevilapa udese amala vovoha vangalanda mawuliwu gachakaka.

11 as defined by the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

Mawuliwu aga gihuma mu Lilovi la Bwina genipewili na Chapanga muni niyikokosayi. Lilovi la Bwina lenili lihuma kwa Chapanga mweavi na ukulu na mweilumbiwa magono goha.

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who enables me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into a ministry;

Nikumsengusa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu mwenipelili makakala ndava ya lihengu langu. Nisengula ndava ya kunilola nene kuvya msadikika, anihagwili nimuhengela.

13 I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief;

Hati peatumbwili pala namng'ahili na kumliga na kumvevesa, nambu Chapanga anihengili lipyana, ndava muni navili lepi na sadika kwakona, ndi namanyili lepi chenikita.

14 the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Nambu Bambu witu anipelili ubwina waki kwa umahele, anipelili sadika na uganu wetivili nawu mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.

15 Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;

Majovo aga ndi gachakaka, na kangi uganikiwa kuyidakiwa, Kilisitu Yesu abwelili pamulima kuvasangula vevakumbudila Chapanga. Na nene ndi mbudanu kuliku venavo voha,

16 precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

nambu Chapanga anihengili lipyana. Muni nene mwenavili nikumbudila Chapanga kuliku voha, Kilisitu Yesu alangisa ukangamala waki wangali mwishu muni kandahi nivya luhumu kwa vala vevakumsadika na kupokela wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Kwaki mwene mweavi Nkosi wa magono goha, mwangafwa, mwangaloleka na mweavili Chapanga mwene, kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na ukulu magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōn g165)

18 Son Timothy, I am giving you this charge in accordance with the prophecies about you that lead the way, that in them you may wage the good warfare,

Mwana vangu Timoti, nikugotolela lilagizu lenili kulandana na malovi ga ulota gegajoviki kadeni ndava yaku. Gatumila malovi ago gavyai vindu vya kukomenela ngondo bwina,

19 holding on to faith and a good conscience (which some having rejected have suffered shipwreck concerning the Faith;

na uvyayi na mtima wa kukumbuka kukita gabwina. Vandu vangi nakuyuwanila maholo gavi ndi vakahalibisa sadika yavi.

20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be taught not to blaspheme).

Pagati yavi vavili Humenayo na Alekizanda, ndi nivatovili kwa kuvagotola mu mawoko ga Setani, muni vawuliwayi vakotoka kumliga Chapanga.
