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 by the authority of God our Savior 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, beloved son in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and from 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.

Now I asked you to remain at Ephesus, while I went into Macedonia, so that you would speak strongly against certain ones who have been teaching a different way,

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.

against those who have been paying attention to fables and endless genealogies. These things present questions as if they were greater than the edification that is of God, 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 goal of instruction is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.

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

Certain persons, wandering away from these things, have been turned aside to empty 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, but understanding neither the things that they themselves are saying, nor what they are affirming about these things.

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

But we know that the law is good, if one makes use of it properly.

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 was not set in place for the just, but for the unjust and the insubordinate, for the impious and sinners, for the wicked and the defiled, for those who commit patricide, matricide, or homicide,

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 males who sleep with males, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,

11 bara uliru ugongon Kutellẹ un mari, ullenge na ina ti ku nanya nyinnu.

which is in accord with the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, the Gospel which has been entrusted 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.

I give thanks to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he has considered me faithful, placing me in 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.

though previously I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contemptuous. But then I obtained the mercy of God. For I had been acting ignorantly, in unbelief.

14 Bara ngbardang nbolu Ncikilari bit nin nyinnu sa uyenu a usü in Yisa Kristi.

And so the grace of our Lord has abounded greatly, with the faith and love that 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.

It is a faithful saying, and worthy of acceptance by everyone, that Christ Jesus came into this world to bring salvation to sinners, among whom I am first.

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 it was for this reason that I obtained mercy, so that in me as first, Christ Jesus would display all patience, for the instruction of those who would believe in him unto 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)

So then, to the King of ages, to the immortal, invisible, solitary God, be honor and glory forever 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 precept I commend to you, my son Timothy, in accord with the prophets who preceded you: that you serve among them like a soldier in a good war,

19 Bara uyita nin nyinnu sa uyenu nin kibinai kicine. Ule imon na amon na nari inin uyinnu mine sa uyenu una nana.

holding to faith and good conscience, against those who, by rejecting these things, have made a shipwreck of the faith.

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

Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they may learn not to blaspheme.
