< 1 Timothy 4 >

1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
Lamatuaꞌ Dꞌula-dꞌalen nafadꞌe relo-relo ena nae, dei fo atahori saraniꞌ ruma nggari hendi saa fo hita tamahereꞌ a. De reu tungga nitur nenori tipu-lakan mana natudꞌaꞌ atahori.
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
Atahori mana nema nanori taꞌo naa, olaꞌ laen, te tao laen. Memaꞌ sira atahori mana peko-lelekoꞌ! Atahori naa ra rala dudꞌuꞌa nara memaꞌ maꞌatemeꞌ ena.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Ara ranori atahori fo afiꞌ sao. Ara o raluli nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ boe! Te matetun, nanaa-nininuꞌ naa ra Lamatualain mana tao. Ana tao nanaat nara, fo mete ma atahori mamahereꞌ ra raa, na, roꞌe makasi neu E. Huu rahine nenori ndoon!
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
Basa saa fo Lamatualain taoꞌ naa, memaꞌ maloleꞌ. Dadꞌi afiꞌ neluli mataꞌ-mataꞌ! Atahori musi simbo basa naa, no roꞌe makasi neu Lamatualain.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
Te hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, Lamatualain Dedꞌea oꞌolan, ma hita hule-oꞌen, tao basa naa ra dadꞌi meumareꞌ.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
Tius! Fee nesenedꞌaꞌ basa dalaꞌ ia ra reu toronoo mamahereꞌ ra. Mete ma tao taꞌo naa, ho dadꞌi Yesus Kristus atahori mana tao-ues malolen. Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola nara tao nggo mumuhere neu E, ma fee nggo muhine nenoriꞌ bee ndaa. Ho toꞌu muhereꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌolan ena! Naa, onaꞌ a nanaat mana tao maꞌadere ao ma.
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
Afiꞌ nggari fai no dudꞌui ombo-koson nda matoꞌuꞌ no Lamatualain sa. Afiꞌ tao-afiꞌ neu ina lasiꞌ ra dudꞌui neluliꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ nara. Malole lenaꞌ munea aom fo m usodꞌa tungga Lamatualain hihiin.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
Munea ao ma fo maꞌadereꞌ, naa maloleꞌ. Te nggunan mbeiꞌ a. Munea ao ma fo musodꞌa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin sia basa dalaꞌ ra, nggunan naeꞌ. Naa nggunan nda soaꞌ neuꞌ a masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia sa, te sia masodꞌa mana nemaꞌ a boe.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
Dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ia ra tebꞌe! De mbedꞌaꞌ sia ralam fo afiꞌ liliiꞌ.
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
Hita tamahena neu Lamatualain masodꞌaꞌ a. Eni, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa atahori, lelenan soaꞌ neu hita mana tamahere neu E. Naeni de hita ue-tao tahere takandondoꞌa.
11 Command and teach these things.
Munori basa ia ra. Ma denu atahori fo tungga nenori ia ra.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
Afiꞌ fee atahori raloe nggo, huu ho feꞌe soruꞌ. Musi mutudꞌu dala maloleꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra, mia oꞌolam, tatao-nonoꞌim, susue-lalaim neu atahori, nemeherem neu Yesus Kristus, ma masodꞌa meumarem.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
Leleꞌ hei mihani au uꞌuma ngga, afiꞌ lilii baca Lamatualain dedꞌea-oꞌolan fee atahori mamahereꞌ ra. Tao manggatetee rala nara, ma nenori malolole se.
14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Pake malolole papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo ho simbo mia Lamatualain, leleꞌ malangga mananuni jamaꞌat ra hule-oꞌe ma lalaa lima nara neu nggo. Leleꞌ naa, ara rafadꞌe Lamatualain hehelu-fufulin soꞌal masodꞌam no ue-tataom. Dadꞌi afiꞌ mbedꞌaꞌ hela papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo hambuꞌ naa.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
Mulalao dalaꞌ naa ra no nggate-nggate! Fo basa atahori rita rae, masodꞌam no ue-tataom laoꞌ.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Munea fo musodꞌa ndos mukundooꞌ a. Ma munea fo munoriꞌ a matetuꞌ. Mete ma muꞌutataaꞌ mo basa naa, naa Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fee nggo mo atahori mana rena nggo, fo hei nenemboꞌit mia basa dala deꞌulakaꞌ ra.
