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 a commandment 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, a genuine child in 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 I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,
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 heed myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than stewardship of God in faith.
5 Ukullun duka unere usu, ullenge na unuzu kibinai kilau, nanya nkpilizu ucine, nin inyinnu sa uyenu un kidegen.
But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.
6 Among in nanya ntanni na lasin inn nanya nile imone inani din liru hem.
From which some having swerved have turned aside to empty talk,
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 law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.
8 Tiyiru uduka chaun, unit nwa suu kata nin nin.
But we know that the law is good, if any man uses 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 laid down for righteous men, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreverent and sinful, for the impious and profane, for father killers and mother killers, for man killers,
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 fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine
11 bara uliru ugongon Kutellẹ un mari, ullenge na ina ti ku nanya nyinnu.
according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.
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 have gratitude to the Christ-Jesus our Lord-who empowered me, because he considered me faithful, having placed in service
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.
the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.
14 Bara ngbardang nbolu Ncikilari bit nin nyinnu sa uyenu a usü in Yisa Kristi.
And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love 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.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.
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 because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (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, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (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 command I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies leading the way for thee, so that by them thou might 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 put away, made shipwreck about the faith,
20 An Haminiyus nin Alekzanda, allenghe na nwa nakpa shintan ku bara inan duro nani nnanzan tizogo Kuutellẹ
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
