1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus—by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope, —

Pɔli, Jesu kiristi tondo nani lan ŋua U Tienu ti candaano yeni Kiristi Jesu, ti dandanli bali maama yeni,

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

N dangi ya tili ne, Timote, n bijua ti dudugdi yeni i mɔni nni po: U Tienu, ti Báa yeni Jesu ti Diedo ŋanbli yeni mi niñingbadcianma, yeni mi yanduanma ń ya ye yeni a.

3 Even as I exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some—

Nani min den waani a ke ŋan tieni maama ki fidi ki gedi Maseduani yeni i, ŋan ya ye Efesi dogu nni ki fidi ki waani bi niba ban ba tɔgni ya sanu, ki da lebdi yenŋɔdma bi tunda nni.

4 Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, —the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; —

Ban da cengi bi tunda nni a togda yeni ya nifiima n ki pia gbenma, ki nan fiindi mi ñɔniama, kaa pugdi bápu ke li ŋua ti dudgdi U Tienu tuona po.

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

Ama li bali maama ń ŋua yaali n tie mi buama yaama ñani li papienli nni, li yantiaŋanli nni yeni ya dudugdi n tiegi i mɔmɔni sanu nni.

6 Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,

Ya niba n lebdi ki taa santianu, tudi ki kua ya maacianma n ki pia mayuli nni.

7 Desiring to be law-teachers, —not understanding, either what they say or whereof they confidently affirm.

Bi bua ban tundi bi niba li bali maama, ama ki nan ki gbia ban maadi yaali yeni ban wangi yaali niima nni.

8 Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: —

Ama, ti bani ke li bali maama ŋani, li ya tie ke nilo taa ma ki sɔni ya tuona n tuagi ti yikodi sanu

9 Knowing this—that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,

Ti nan bani ke li bali maama ki bili yaaba n tiegi po ka, ama yaaba n ki cɔlni yiko yeni yaaba n fiindi mi yenyiema po i, a yenyieda yeni ti tuonbiadidanba, yaaba n ki ŋua U Tienu yeni bi yanbɔndanba po. Mi bili yaaba n biani bi danba miali yeni a nikpala po i.

10 fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, —and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; —

yaab n kuani bi yuli mi conconma nni, yaaba n taa nintuali, ki dua yaaba, a nisuura yeni a sanjiala, bi tuofaadanba, a tingbangbaaba yeni yaali n ki tuagi ti dudugdi sanu kuli po,

11 According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

Lan ya bangma ŋua O cabŋandaano U Tienu ń piani nni ya yudandi laabaalŋamo i.

12 Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, —

N maali ke ti Diedo Jesu Kiristi yua n pugni nni u paalu, kelima o diidi ki sua ke n duu o po i ke o puogi nni lan ya tuonli,

13 Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:

Mini yua n den fanbi U Tienu yikodi, ki go tie jadi daano, n baa U Tienu ŋanbli kelima n den ki bani ki tie lankuli.

14 Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Ama Ti Diedo ŋanbli tɔgni min pia ya dudugdi yeni ya buama Jesu Kiristi nni, ki paadi likuli.

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

Ya maama ne mɔni boncianla, ki go pia ti dudugdi yuakuli po, ke Jesu Kiristi cua ki tinga po ki bua faabi ti tuonbiadi danba i. Mini n biidi bi siiga nni ki cie.

16 Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, —that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

Ama lanyapo i, ke n baa mi niñingbadma ke li wangi ke mini n cindi ki la Jesu Kiristi ń pia ya juunli. O tieni lani, ke lan tua nannanli yaaba n duu o po hali ya miali n ki pia gbenma. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now, unto the King of the ages, —incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen! (aiōn g165)

Mɔlane, ti kpiagdi yeni ti yudandi tie hali ya yognu badciamo, yua ya miali n ki pia gbenma, ban ki nua yua, Tienyendu baba yaadi, li bina yeni li bina, Ami! (aiōn g165)

18 This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.

Timote, n biga, min teni a ya maabilkaama ne, ke mi ŋua ban den pua a po ya sawali yeni, li tie ke ŋan kɔni li kɔnkɔnmɔnli;

19 Holding faith and a good conscience, —which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: —

ŋan ya pia ti dudugdi yeni li yantiaŋanli. Bi tianba buoni li, ke li tulni ba, ke bi fagdi yeni ti dudugdi.

20 Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

Himene yeni Alekisandiri ye bi siiga nni, N sagni bani yeni sutaani, ke ban bangi ban ba tɔgni ya sanu ki ji da fanbi U Tienu yikodi.
