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,
Na Paora, na te apotoro a Ihu Karaiti, he mea whakarite e te Atua, e to tatou Kaiwhakaora, e Ihu Karaiti hoki, ko ia ta tatou e tumanako atu nei;
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
Ki a Timoti, ki taku tamaiti pono i roto i te whakapono: kia tau atu te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na Karaiti Ihu hoki, na to tatou Ariki.
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,
I whakahau atu ra ahau ki a koe, i ahau e haere ana ki Makeronia, kia noho koe i Epeha, ako ai i etahi kia kaua e rere ke te whakaako,
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
Kia kaua e whakarongo ki nga korero tito noa, ki nga whakapapa tupuna kahore nei e whai mutunga; ko nga putanga ake o ena, he tautohetohe, kahore he whakatupu mo te tikanga a te Atua i runga i te whakapono; ka pera ano ahau inaianei.
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
Ko te tukunga iho ia mo te ako, ko te aroha, no roto i te ngakau ma, i te hinengaro pai, i te whakapono tinihangakore.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
Kapea ake enei e etahi, kotiti ke ana ki nga korero teka noa;
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
Ki ta ratou hei kaiwhakaako ratou i te ture, heoi kahore e matau ki ta ratou e korero nei, ki nga mea ranei e kauwhautia nei e ratou.
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
Otira, e matau ana tatou he mea pai te ture, ki te rite te meatanga e te tangata ki ta te ture tikanga;
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,
E matau ana hoki ki tenei, kihai te ture i whakatakotoria mo te tangata tika, engari mo te hunga turekore, tutu, karakiakore, hara, tapukore, whakarihariha, mo nga kaipatu i nga papa, mo nga kaipatu i nga whaea, mo nga kaikohuru tangata,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
Mo te hunga moepuku, moe kino i te tane, tahae tangata, korero teka, oati teka, a ki te mea tera atu tetahi mea kahore nei e rite ki te whakaako tika;
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Rite tonu tenei ki te rongopai o te kororia o te Atua hari, ki te mea kua tukua mai nei ki ahau.
12 I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
E whakawhetai atu nei ahau ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki to tatou Ariki, nana nei ahau i whakakaha; i whakaaro hoki ia he tangata pono ahau, a meinga ana ahau hei minita;
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Ahau nei, te tangata kohukohu i mua, te kaiwhakatoi, whakatupu kino: heoi i tohungia ahau, no te mea i meinga kuwaretia e ahau i runga i te whakaponokore:
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
Tino nui rawa hoki te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, hui tahi ki te whakapono, ki te aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
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.
He pono te korero, he pai hoki kia tangohia rawatia, I haere mai a Karaiti Ihu ki te ao ki te whakaora i te hunga hara; ko te tino tangata hara o ratou ko ahau.
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)
Heoi na konei ahau i tohungia ai, kia ai ko ahau ki mua hei whakaaturanga ma Ihu Karaiti i nga manawanui maha, hei tohu ki te hunga e whakapono ki a ia a muri ake nei, kia ora tonu ai ratou. (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)
Na, ki te Kingi ora tonu, e kore nei e pirau, e kore nei e kitea, ko ia nei anake te Atua matau, waiho atu i a ia te honore me te kororia ake ake. Amine. (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,
Ka tukua atu nei e ahau tenei kupu ako ki a koe, e taku tamaiti, e Timoti, ko te poropititanga ano tenei i puta mai i mua mou, hei mea i a koe kia whawhai i te whawhai pai;
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
Kia mau ki te whakapono me te hinengaro pai; he mea nei ena kua akiritia atu e etahi, ka meinga to ratou whakapono he kaipuke pakaru:
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
No ratou a Haimeniu raua ko Arehanera, kua tukua nei e ahau ki a Hatana, kia whakaakona ai kia kaua e kohukohu.
