1 Timothawus 1

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

PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha 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 Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha 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.

I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines,

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 throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end, (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha.

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, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

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

And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,

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.

seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.

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

But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law converse in it;

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 that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers,

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,

and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath

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

and whatever (else) is opposed to the healthful doctrine of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.

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 hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister; me,

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.

who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

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

But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.

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 word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of 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 for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition for them who should believe in him unto everlasting 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)

But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour 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 commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare with faith and with a good conscience.

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

For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;

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

as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.
