1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the command of God, our Saviour, and Christ Jesus, our hope,

Timotius rala maloleꞌ! Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia au, Paulus. Lamatualain soꞌu au dadꞌi Yesus Kristus dedꞌenun. Hita tamahena neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, mana fee nggita tasodꞌa takandoo to E, huu Lamatualain fee hita tasodꞌa mia basa sala tara. Tius! Ho onaꞌ au ana ngga ena, huu au mana utudꞌu dalaꞌ de mumuhere neu Kristus. Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, hita Aman, no Yesus Kristus, hita malanggan, ratudꞌu rala malole nara no susue-lalai nara, ma fee nggo musodꞌa no mole-dꞌame.

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

3 As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

Feꞌesaꞌan, ruꞌa nggita taꞌabꞌue mia kota Efesus. Leleꞌ au ae uu sia propinsi Makedonia, au huhuar nggo fo muhani sia Efesus. Te leleꞌ naa, hambu atahori ra tao atahori saraniꞌ ra bingun no nenoriꞌ nda matetuꞌ sa. Dadꞌi au oꞌe muu ai se, fo ara afiꞌ ranori rakandoo taꞌo naa.

4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]

Atahori ra o ngganggari fai parsumaꞌ a reu dui-bꞌengga dudꞌui pepeko-lelekoꞌ fai maꞌahulun, boe ma rareresi soꞌal dꞌui-baes rakandooꞌ a. Dedꞌeꞌat naa ra taoꞌ a atahori ra ratofa ma rasodꞌa nda ramahere Lamatualain sa.

5 Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

Au unori nggo ia, naa fo munori atahori mamahereꞌ ra fo rasodꞌa no susueꞌ mia rala meumareꞌ, dudꞌuꞌa ndo-tetuꞌ, ma nemehereꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ.

6 from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,

Te meser ruma raꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ ma nggari hendi nenoriꞌ naa. Boe ma ara reu ngganggari fai a noꞌ a nereresit ma olaꞌ baro-leli.

7 desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

Ara ratudꞌu ao nara rae, sira, meser mana ranori baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara. Ara koa ao nara rae sira meser monaeꞌ ra, te nda rahine saa fo ranoriꞌ naa ra sa boe.

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

Basa hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, basa baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara, maloleꞌ! Sadꞌi hita pake se tungga Lamatualain masud na no matetuꞌ.

9 knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,

Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra, nda nenesuraꞌ fee atahori mana rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ sa. Te nenesuraꞌ fee neu atahori mana mamue, nda mana rena parendaꞌ sa, rasodꞌa raꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ ro Lamatualain, hiiꞌ a tao deꞌulakaꞌ, nda taoafiꞌ neu Lamatualain sa, mana raloe-radꞌae dala meumareꞌ a, mana risa atahori, ma mana risa ama-ina nara boe.

10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,

Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra o nenesuraꞌ fee neu atahori mana hohonggeꞌ, touꞌ sao touꞌ, mana lea rendi atahori fo roꞌe doi sosoiꞌ, mana pepeko-lelekoꞌ, sakasii ombo-koson, ma fee basa atahori ralena langga neu nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ a.

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

Nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ naa ra, laoꞌ mia Lamatualain Dudꞌui Malolen, fo Ana fee neu au ꞌa. Lamatualain naa, manaseliꞌ. Atahori soꞌu rananaru E o, nandaa.

12 And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

Au oꞌe makasi nae-nae neu hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus huu Ana namahere au, ma tao au bisa ulalao ue-tataon.

13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief;

Feꞌesaꞌan, au hiiꞌ a olaꞌ uꞌumuti fo uꞌututudꞌaꞌ Yesus Naran, ma tao doidꞌoso atahori mana tungga dꞌala masodꞌan. Au hiiꞌ a tuni-ndeni ulutu se. Au deꞌulaka ngga taꞌo naa, huu leleꞌ naa, au nda uhine saa fo au taoꞌ naa, ma nda feꞌe umuhere hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus sa. Huu au nda uhine saa fo au taoꞌ naa sa, dadꞌi Ana nda liliiꞌ au sa. Ma Ana o natudꞌu susuen neu au. Lenaꞌ fai, natudꞌu rala malolen neu au nakandooꞌ a! Ana mbori-mboꞌa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee au, fo umuhere uhereꞌ neu E, ma sue atahori ra onaꞌ Ana sue au boe.

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

15 True is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

Hita o rena-renaꞌ tae, “Yesus Kristus nema sia raefafoꞌ ia, fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra.” Memaꞌ tebꞌe taꞌo naa! Mia basa atahori mana tao salaꞌ ra, au ia deꞌulaka ngga naseliꞌ.

16 But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

Mae deꞌulaka ngga onaꞌ naa o, Lamatualain naꞌetuꞌ nala nae nda huku-doki au sa. Ana nau pake au dadꞌi conto fo utudꞌu Yesus Kristus rala loan neu atahori deꞌulaka manaseliꞌ onaꞌ au ia. No taꞌo naa, atahori feaꞌ mana tao salaꞌ ra ramahere neu E, fo ara o rasodꞌa rakando ro E. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, the imperishable, invisible, only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Koa-kio Lamatualain! Akaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne, Lamatualain; nda hambu laen sa! Mane mana toꞌu parendaꞌ nda manabasaꞌ sa. Eni nasodꞌa nakandooꞌ a. Eni nda mate sa. Atahori nda rita E no mata ao sisi nara sa. Basa hadꞌa-hormat ma kokoa-kikioꞌ fee neu E. losa doo nduꞌu-dꞌoon neu! Amin. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war the good warfare,

Ana ngga Timotius, rala malole! Au ae ufadꞌe nggo, saa fo ho musi tao sia ue-tatao mara. Basa ia ra, tungga saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara olaꞌ memaꞌ soꞌal ue-tataom. Mete ma ho tungga dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa ra no matetuꞌ, na, ho onaꞌ soldꞌadꞌu esa, natati nahine, labꞌan deꞌulakaꞌ ra.

19 having faith, and a good conscience, which some thrusting away made shipwreck concerning the faith;

Toꞌu muhereꞌ nemeherem neu Kristus. Ma munea fo ralam meuꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Huu hambu atahori nda nau rena sira rala dudꞌuꞌa nara sa. Naa tao sira nemehere nara rambalutu, onaꞌ ofai sae nala fatu mbiaꞌ.

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

Himenius no Alexander, onaꞌ naa boe! Naa de, au hela fee se reu nitur malangga monaen nauli se. Au tao taꞌo naa, fo dadꞌi nenoriꞌ sa, fo ara afiꞌ tao ralutu Lamatuaꞌ naran fai.
