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,
Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils,
2 Libau kinu nin karusuzo isaka ukpilizu mine.
speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared,
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.
prohibiting marriage, abstaining from foods, which God has created to be accepted with thanksgiving by the faithful and by those who have understood the truth.
4 Bara vat nile imon na Kutellẹ nke icineari, tutun na imono duku ulle na iba nari ba asa isere nin godiya.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected which is received with thanksgiving;
5 Idi lau bara na ina kusu inin nin nliru Kutellẹ nin lira.
for it has been sanctified 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.
By proposing these things to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished by words of faith, and by the good doctrine that you have secured.
7 Bara nani nari abin nawali nin nizogo Kutellẹ, shono liti unan so unan yiru nanya ndortu Kutellẹ.
But avoid the silly fables of old women. And exercise yourself so as to advance in piety.
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 exercise of the body is somewhat useful. But piety is useful in all things, holding the promise of life, in the present and in the future.
9 Uliru ulele ucineari, ubatina nworo vat nanit seru.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of full acceptance.
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.
For this reason we labor and are maligned: because we hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, most especially of the faithful.
11 Dursuzo nani ilẹ imone, uti nani isu.
Instruct and teach these things.
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 despise your youth, but be an example among the faithful in word, in behavior, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
13 Ceo kibinai fe nyenju ninyerte, nin nwunu natuf, a udursuzu nimon udu kubi ko na mba dak.
Until I arrive, attend to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
14 Na uwa fillin uda diu ulle na udumun ba, na iwa bellin udumun, ligowe nin tardu nacara nadidia kutyin nliran.
Do not be willing to neglect the grace that is within you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
15 Dirtino nsu nile imone, nā litife nan nya ninig, bara anit vat nan yene uli nbunfe.
Meditate on these things, so that your progress may be manifest to all.
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.
Pay attention to yourself and to doctrine. Pursue these things. For in doing so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
