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 saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils,
2 Libau kinu nin karusuzo isaka ukpilizu mine.
through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot 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.
forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know 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, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 Idi lau bara na ina kusu inin nin nliru Kutellẹ nin lira.
for it is sanctified through 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 put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed [until now]:
7 Bara nani nari abin nawali nin nizogo Kutellẹ, shono liti unan so unan yiru nanya ndortu Kutellẹ.
but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And 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 profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
9 Uliru ulele ucineari, ubatina nworo vat nanit seru.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation.
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 to this end we labour and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.
11 Dursuzo nani ilẹ imone, uti nani isu.
These things command and teach.
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 thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, 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, give heed 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 that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Dirtino nsu nile imone, nā litife nan nya ninig, bara anit vat nan yene uli nbunfe.
Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto 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.
Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.
