1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

Paulusi, muapositola wa Chrisite Jesu kuya che intaelo ya Ireeza mu hazi wetu ni Chrisite Jesu i nsepo yetu,

2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

kwa Timotea, mwana we niti mwi ntumelo: Chisemo, inse ni nkozo izwa kwa Ireeza Ishetu ni Chrisite Jesu Simwine wetu.

3 As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

Ubu muniba kukumbilili kuti upange hani bakukaya kwa Masedonia, wikale mwa Efese kuti uwole kuha intaelo kubamwi bantu kuti sanzi baruti intuto ingi.

4 neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now].

Nikusa ntekeleza kuma tangu asa mani amasika. Izi zileta kupanga inkani kuhita kutusa mulelo wa Ireeza, iri che ntumelo.

5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

Hanu cwale ma manimani omu lao i rato lizwa kwi nkulo i chenete, kuzwilila kwi izwalo ilotu, ni kuzwililila kwi tumelo ina buniti.

6 from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;

Bamwi batu baba kwangi kusika hama manimani kono baba sanduki nokutanga kuwamba zobuhafu.

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

Basaka kuba maruti womu lao, kono kaba zuwi sisi zibawamba kamba ondelelwa hateni.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

Kono twizi kuti mulao wina hande haiba zumwi usebelisa chenswanelo

9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Mi tuzizi izi, kuti mulao kena uba pangilwa muntu yolukite, konu kubantu ba sena mulao niba kwenuheli, nibantu basena Ireeza, niba panga zivi, mi nabana ba sezi Ireeza niba fosahere. Linu uba pangilwa bana behaya bashemi bavo baba kwame nibanakazi, ni behayi.

10 for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

nibantu bapanga zabushahi, mukwame yozumina kusandulwa mwanakazi, abo bahiba bantu nikubapanga batanga, ba pono, ipanki za mapa, mi nizintu zose zisena initi niku lwanisa intaelo.

11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Izi intaelo ziyendelela ni kanya ye linzi lifuyawile kwa Ireeza ilyo lini bahewa.

12 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;

Nili tumela kwa Chresite Jesu iye Fumweetu. Aba ni konzi, kakuti aba ni hindi kuti ni sepahala, mi nikuni bika ha musebezi.

13 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

Nibali nimunyazerizi, ni munyandisi nimu kwame yonyandisa. Kono niba tambuli chishemo ka kuli niba kupanga nini sezi nikusazumina.

14 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Kono chisemo cha fumwangu chiba kezi kwangu ni tumelo mwi lato lina kwa Christ Jesu.

15 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

Ili iñusa lisepahala ni kuswanela mi nikuzuminiwa, kuti Christ Jesu aba kezi mwifasi kwiza kuhaza mu eza libi. Ime nji niwa mamani mani kwezi.

16 howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

Mi keli ibaka niba hewa chisemo, kuhitiliza, Christ Jesu u wola kutondeza kuli keta kose. Aba pangi izi nili mutala kwabo basepa kwali mubuhalo bunhya. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Linu ku Mulena wakale, ya saboli, ya sabonwa, Ireeza yenke, ikute, nikanya, nikutwala kusa manu mani. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;

Nibika iyi intaelo ha busu bwenu, Timotea, mwanangu. Nizipanga izi kuyendelela ni chipolofita chiba wambwa kwako, iri kuti kupangila kuti winjile mwindwa indotu.

19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:

Uzi pange izi kuti ube mwi tumelo ni izwalo ilutu. bamwi batu baba kani izi ni kumina ka kuti lye ntumelo.

20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

Baswana sina Imenca ni Alexandere, abo vaniva tambiki kwa Satani iri kuti valutwe kusa yefula.
