1 Timothawus 4
1 Nene nfip Kutellẹ na bellin fwang, unaworo udu ubun amon anit ba sunu uyinnu sa uyenu, ini nibinai mine kiti nfip kirusuzo, nin madursu dursuzo nagbergenu,
But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,
2 Libau kinu nin karusuzo isaka ukpilizu mine.
Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;
3 Ima wantinu usu zu nilugma, nin nli nimonli ille na Kutellẹ na ke, ilẹ na udin nizu nin ngodiya, nanya nale na ida iyinin kidene.
Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.
4 Bara vat nile imon na Kutellẹ nke icineari, tutun na imono duku ulle na iba nari ba asa isere nin godiya.
Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:
5 Idi lau bara na ina kusu inin nin nliru Kutellẹ nin lira.
For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
6 Asa ulizino linauna ile imone, uba so kucin kucine katwan Yisa Kristi, fe ulle na use liyisin nanya nyinnu sa uyenu, nin dofinu ndursuzu ucine na udofino.
If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:
7 Bara nani nari abin nawali nin nizogo Kutellẹ, shono liti unan so unan yiru nanya ndortu Kutellẹ.
But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:
8 Ushonu liti caun nin kubi cing, imon vat caun nanya ndortu Kutellẹ, bara na uba ni ulai nyulele nin un cin dak.
For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.
9 Uliru ulele ucineari, ubatina nworo vat nanit seru.
This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.
10 Unnere nta tidin niu nin nfo kidowo, bara tidin nin likara kibinai kiti Kutellẹ unan lai, ame unan tucu nanite vat massaman alle na iyinna sa uyenu.
And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.
11 Dursuzo nani ilẹ imone, uti nani isu.
Let these be your orders and your teaching.
12 Na umon nwa yassu fi bara na udin fitu ba, bara nani sọ imon yenju kiti na nan nyinnu sa uyenu nanya nliru, nin nyiru ncin, nin nsu, uyinnu sa uyenu, a kibinai kilau.
Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.
13 Ceo kibinai fe nyenju ninyerte, nin nwunu natuf, a udursuzu nimon udu kubi ko na mba dak.
Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.
14 Na uwa fillin uda diu ulle na udumun ba, na iwa bellin udumun, ligowe nin tardu nacara nadidia kutyin nliran.
Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
15 Dirtino nsu nile imone, nā litife nan nya ninig, bara anit vat nan yene uli nbunfe.
Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.
16 Cinna seng nin litife, nin ndursuzu fe, dirtino nanya nile imone, bara usu nane ba tifi use utucu litife nin nale na idin lanzufi.
Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.
