1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
Njame, Paulo walakwiwa kuba mutumwa wa Klistu Yesu mukupewa mulawo ne Lesa Mupulushi wetu, ne Klistu Yesu uyo ngotwacinkamo manungo,
2 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ndalembelenga obe Timoti mwaname mwine mwine mulushomo. Ndambangeti kwina moyo inkumbo ne lumuno lwa Lesa ne Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu bibe nenjobe.
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,
Mpondalikuya ku Makedoniya, ndalakupa malailile akwambeti wikale ku Efenso kwambeti ukanishenga bantu nabambi baleyishinga ciyisho cabwepeshi.
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].
Kayi ubambileti kabatatayanga cindi cabo ku tulabi twabakulukulu tulambanga sha masemano. Ibi biliya ncito bikute kuletowa kutotekeshana, nkabikute kwiyishapo sobwe, bilayandanga Lesa bikute kwishibikwa mulushomo.
5 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
Ncondakupelenga malailile awa ni kwambeti ubayishe lusuno lwa ncinencine lulafumunga mu moyo waswepa, kayi kuba ne muntu wamukati waina ne lushomo lwa ncinencine.
6 from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
Bantu nabambi balashiyi mukondo, balataiki ne kuya kuliwala mu makani abula ncito.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
Balayandishishinga kuba beshikwiyisha bantu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose, nomba nkabacishi ncobalambanga ne kushininkisha ico ncobaleyishinga.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
Afwe twashoma kwambeti Milawo yaina na muntu kaisebensesha munshila yalumbuluka.
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,
Tucishi kwambeti milawo iliya kubelako cebo ca muntu walulama, nsombi yalabelako kululamika beshi kupwaya milawo, batasuni kululamikwa, kayi batatini Lesa. Ba micito yaipa, baipa myoyo kayi batapaili, beshikushina bashali babo, bakapondo,
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;
bapombo, batuloba beshikona ne batuloba banabo, beshikula ne kulisha bantu, bandemishibili, beshikulumbila cabwepeshi munkuta, kayi beshi kwinsa ciliconse capusana ne ciyisho calumbuluka.
11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Ici ciyisho cikute kucanika mu Mulumbe Waina Lesa Walemekwa welela kulumbaishiwa, uwo ngwalabika mumakasa akame.
12 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;
Ndalumbunga Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu walampa ngofu ne kunsala kwambeti ndimusebensele, cebo ca kuba washomekwa.
13 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
Nikukabeti ndalikusampula Lesa nekupensha bantu ba Lesa, nsombi Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo pakwinga paliya ncendalikwishiba nkandalikukute lushomo sobwe.
14 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Nomba Mwami wetu walanyumfwila nkumbo shinene, ndalatambula lushomo ne lusuno kupitila mukwikatana ne Klistu Yesu.
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:
Maswi akwambeti Klistu Yesu walesa pa cishi capanshi kwisa kupulusha bantu babwipishi nakubinga kayi elela kutambulwa ca makasa abili, pa bantu bonse baipa ame ndaipa kupita bonse.
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)
Nikukabeco Lesa walanyumfwila nkumbo kwambeti kupitila muli njame ondaipa kupita bonse, Klistu Yesu aleshe kwikalika nkombe kwakendi, kwambeti mbe citondesho kulyabo beti bakamushome kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Lino ku Mwami wa cindi conse, utafu kayi utaboneke Lesa enka, kube bulemu ne kulumbaishiwa kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (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;
Timoti mwaname, ndakupa malailile awa kwelana ne maswi abashinshimi alambwa pali njobe, wasebensesheti byensho, kwambeti ukacikonshe kulwana nkondo yaina.
19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:
Kayi pitilisha kuba ne lushomo kayi miyeyo yalulama. iyo nabambi njobalanyakili pambali ibyo bilapasulu lushomo lwabo.
20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Pakati pa bantu balico pali Humenayo ne Alekisandulo, bantu aba ndabapa cisubulo ne kubanyakila mu bwendeleshi bwa Satana, kwambeti bakaleke kusampula Lesa.
