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 speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils;
2 Libau kinu nin karusuzo isaka ukpilizu mine.
men who teach lies with hypocrisy; and have their own consciences cauterised;
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, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge 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 none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving:
5 Idi lau bara na ina kusu inin nin nliru Kutellẹ nin lira.
for it is sanctified by the word of God and 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 thou suggest these truths to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and sound doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7 Bara nani nari abin nawali nin nizogo Kutellẹ, shono liti unan so unan yiru nanya ndortu Kutellẹ.
But profane and antiquated fables reject, but exercise thyself unto godliness.
8 Ushonu liti caun nin kubi cing, imon vat caun nanya ndortu Kutellẹ, bara na uba ni ulai nyulele nin un cin dak.
For bodily exercise is of little advantage, but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Uliru ulele ucineari, ubatina nworo vat nanit seru.
This is a faithful saying, and deserving all 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 therefore do we labour and are exposed to abuse, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.
11 Dursuzo nani ilẹ imone, uti nani isu.
Announce 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 man despise thy youth; but be a pattern of the faithful, in discourse; in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Ceo kibinai fe nyenju ninyerte, nin nwunu natuf, a udursuzu nimon udu kubi ko na mba dak.
Till I come, apply to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
14 Na uwa fillin uda diu ulle na udumun ba, na iwa bellin udumun, ligowe nin tardu nacara nadidia kutyin nliran.
Neglect not the gift which is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Dirtino nsu nile imone, nā litife nan nya ninig, bara anit vat nan yene uli nbunfe.
Let these things be thy care; be wholly devoted to them; that thy progress may be evident to all men.
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.
Take heed unto thyself, and to thy doctrine; abide in them: for so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and those who hear thee.
