1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah our hope,
Pawulu, mutumwa waKkilisito Jesu mbuli mumalayilile aLeza Mufutuli wesu a Kkilisito Jesu bulangilizi bwesu,
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
kuli Timoti, mwanan mulombe wasimpe mulusyomo: Lizyalo, luse, a luumuno kuzwa kuli Leza Taata aKkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
Mbuli mbundakakusungwaazya kuti uchite aawo nindakali kuzwa kuya kuMasedoniya, syaala mu Efeso nkokuti ukonzye kulayilila bamwi bantu kutibatayiisyi iimwi njisyo iisiyene.
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
Nikuba boobo bataswilizyi twaano amazyalani aatagoli. Eezi zichita kukazyanya kwiinda kuba balondozi baLeza, kabuli bwa lusyomo.
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
Lino bulangilili bwa malayilile nduyando luzwa mumoyo uusalala, kuzwa mukulimvwida kubotu, a kuzwa mulusyomo lwini.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
Bamwi bantu balookusweka kuzwa kuzintu eezi akusandukila kukwaambula kwabufubafuba.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
Bayanda kuba bayisi bamulawu, pesi tabamvwisisisyi eezyo nzibaambula nikuba eezyo nzibazikitizya kwaamba.
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
Pesi iswe tulizi kuti mulawu mubotu ikuti na umwi wawubelesya chamulawu.
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
Swe tulizi, kuti mulwawu tewakabikilwa baalumi baluleme pe abusena, pesi kuli aabo batakwe mulawu alimwi bantu bakapanduka, aabo bantu batakwe bunaleza alimwi a basizibi, abaabo batasalali alimwi kabateeli, nguwabaabo bajaya mawisi a manyina, ngwabajayi,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
ngwabantu bayandisya zyakulalana, ababo bachita zyakulalana lwabo lwabo, ababo babba bantu akubachita bazike, ngwababeja, abaamba bukamboni bwakubeja alimwi kufumbwa zyoonse eezyo zikazyanya aanjisyo ntuloko.
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Oku kulayilila kuli mbuli makani mabotu aabulemu bwaLeza ulongezegelwe kuli ngawo ngindakapegwa.
12 I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
Ndilumba Kkilisito Jesu Mwaami wesu. Wakandisimya, nkaambo wakandiyeya mbuli uusyomekede, alimwi wakandinanikila mulimu.
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Ndakali kusampawula Leza, mufwabyi, alimwi mwaalumi wankondo. Pesi ndakatambula luse nkaambo ndakalikuchita mukutaziba a mukutasyoma.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
Alimwi luzyalo lwaMwaami wesu lwakafusuka aantomwe a lusyomo alimwi a luyando oolo luli muli Kkilisito Jesu.
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
Ooyu mulumbe nguwanchoonzyo alimwi uleelede kutambulwa koonse, kuti Kkilisito Jesu wakasika munyika kuzofutula basizibi.
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Pesi nkaambo kaboobo ndakapegwa luse, kuti mulindime, mutanzi, Kkilisito Jesu akonzyed kutondezya moyo mulamfu. Wakachita eechi mbuli chitondezyo kulibaabo bayosyoma mulinguwe kubuumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Lino kuMwaami wachindi, utafwi, utabonwi, Leza uumwi luzutu, ngakube bulumbu alimwi bulemu kuli lyoonsea lyoonse. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
Ndilokubika malayilile aaya kunembo lyako, Timoti, mwana wangu, mukweendelana kwabusinsimi bwakachitwa musule aatala a nduwe kuti ukonzye kulwana kulwana kubotu,
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
kojisilidi kulusyomo alimwi akukulimvwida kubotu. Aakukaka eezi, bamwi bakasweekelwa alusyomo lwabo.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
Bo mba Himeniyasi a Alekizanda, aabo mbindakapeda kuli Satani kuchitila kuti bakakuyisigwe kutasampawula Leza.
