1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
I Paoly, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey, ty amy lilin’ Añahare Mpandrombake antikañe naho Iesoà Norizañe fitamàn-tikañey,
2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ho a i Timoty, toe anako am-patokisañe: Hasoa naho fiferenaiñañe vaho fañanintsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Rae naho i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
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,
Inay i nañosihako azoy, zaho nionjoñe mb’e Makedonia añe, le t’ihe hitoboke e Efesosy ao heike, handily o ila’eo tsy hañoke fañòhañe hafa,
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].
naho tsy ho haoñe’o o talilin-taoloo naho o toñon-droae tsy migadoñeo fa mampifandietse avao, he ho soloa’e i famandroñan’ Añahare mitoloñe am-patokisañey.
5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
Fa ty firefea’ o fanoroañeo le fikokoañe boak’ añ’arofo hiringiri’e naho hazavàn-troke miharo fatokisañe to;
6 from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
teo ty nitsile ami’ty hiti’e naho nidrikiñe mb’ an-drehake borosode añe,
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
ie te ho mpañoke Hake, fe tsy apota’e ndra ze rehafe’e ndra o raha vontitire’eo.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
Fohintika te soa t’i Hake naho oriheñe ami’ty lili’e,
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,
tsapa te tsy afetsake ami’ty vantañe t’i Hake fa ami’ty tsy mañaon-Kàke, o mpanjehatseo, o mpiolao naho o tsivokatseo; o aman-tahiñeo naho o miteraterao, ho amo mpamono rae naho reneo, o mpañoho-dozao,
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;
o mpandrañaotseo, o sambe-lahy mpifandeotseo, o mpañovok’ ondatio, o mpandañitseo, o mpitalily vilañeo, vaho ze mpandietse fañòhañe to,
11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
ty amy talili-soan’ Añahare rengeñe nafantoke amakoy.
12 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;
Andriañeko i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey mampaozatse ahikoy, amy te natao’e ho migahiñe, vaho najado’e amy fitoroñañey,
13 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
zaho nimpiteratera naho mpampisoañe vaho nimpijoy heike; fe niferenaiñañe amy te nanoeko tsy aman-kilala tsy am-patokisañe,
14 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
le nidobañe amako ty hasoa’ i Talèn-tikañey reketse ty fatokisañe naho fikokoañe am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
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:
Taroñe atokisañe naho mañeva fiantofañe pea, te, Nivotrake an-tane atoy t’Iesoà Norizañe handrombake o aman-kakeoo, zaho ty lombolombo’e;
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)
fe zao ty nitretrezañe ahy, ty amy hoe zay, soa te amako hey ty nampalangesa’ Iesoà Norizañey ty fahaliñisa’e do’e, hitsikombea’ o hiato ama’eo, hiveloma’e nainai’ey. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ho amy Mpanjaka tsy ho modo, tsy ho momoke, tsy isakey, i Andrianañahare mahihitse tsy roe tsy teloy abey, ty asiñe naho ty engeñe nainai’e donia. Amena. (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;
Inao ty fanoroañe hafantoko ama’o, ry Timoty anake, ty amo nitokiañe ama’oo, t’ie mañorike irezay ro hifañotak’ amy aly soay,
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:
hifahatse am-patokisañe naho an-kazavàn-troke; ie fa namoea’ o ila’eo, le nanao ty fatokisa’ iareo ho làka-nijoroboñe.
20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Mpiam’ iereo t’i Himeneo naho i Aleksandro ze natoloko hioke amy mpañìnjey, tsy hiteratera.
