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,

Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go Paulo, morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o rometsweng ke Mmoloki wa rona le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona, yo e leng ene fela tsholofelo ya rona.

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

Lo ya kwa go! Timotheo. Timotheo o ntse jaaka morwaake mo dilong tsa Modimo. A Modimo Rraa rona le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona a go bontshe tshiamo ya gagwe le kutlwelobotlhoko mme a go neye kagiso e kgolo ya pelo le mogopolo.

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,

Jaaka ke buile fa ke ya Masedonia, tswee-tswee nna koo mo Efeso o leke go kganela batho ba ba rutang thuto e e sa siamang. Khutlisa ditlhamane tsa bone, le dinaane tsa bone le mogopolo wa bone wa go bolokwa ka go bona kutlwelo botlhoko ka tlhatlologano ya baengele go fitlha kwa Modimong, megopolo ya sephologolo e e tsosang dipotso le dikganetsanyo boemong jwa go thusa batho go amogela leano la Modimo la tumelo.

4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,

Se ke se tlhwaafaletseng ke gore Bakeresete botlhe koo ba tlale lorato lo lo tswang mo dipelong tse di itshekileng, le gore megopolo ya bone e nne phepa le tumelo ya bone e nonofe.

6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

Mme baruti ba, ba tlhokomologile mogopolo o otlhe, ba bo ba senya nako ya bone mo dikganetsanyong le go bua ka boeleele.

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.

Ba batla go nna baruti ba melao ya ga Moshe ntswa ba sena mogopolo o o tlhomameng wa gore melao eo tota e re supegetsa eng.

8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,

Melao eo e siame fa e dirisiwa jaaka Modimo o ratile.

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,

Mme ga e a direlwa rona, ba Modimo o re bolokileng; ke ya baleofi ba ba ilang Modimo, ba ba dipelo di tsuololang, ba ba hutsang ba tlhapatsa, ba tlhasela borraabo le bommaabo ba bo ba bolaya batho.

10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

Ee, melao e e diretswe go supa baleofi botlhe ba ba makgapha le ba ba itshekologileng! Ba ba robalanang le banna ba bangwe, bautswi ba batho, baaki le botlhe ba ba dirang dilo tse di kgatlhanong le Mafoko a a Molemo a a galalelang a Modimo wa rona, o ke leng morongwa wa One.

11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,

Ke leboga Morena wa rona Keresete jang ka go ntlhopha mongwe wa barongwa ba gagwe, le go nnaya thata ya go nna boikanyo mo go ene,

13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

le fa ke ne ke tle ke tlhapatse leina la ga Keresete. Ke ne ke tsoma batho ba gagwe, ke ba utlwisa botlhoko ka tsela nngwe le nngwe e ke neng ke ka e kgona. Mme Modimo wa nkutlwela botlhoko gonne ke ne ke sa itse se ke neng ke se dira, gonne ke ne ke sa itse Keresete ka nako eo.

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.

Oo! Morena wa rona o ne a le pelotlhomogi go le kae, gonne o ntshupegeditse gore ke ka mo ikanya jang le go nna lorato lo lo tletseng lwa ga Jesu Keresete.

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.

Kana go boammaaruri jang, ebile ke tlhwaafalela jang gore mongwe le mongwe a bo a itse, gore Jesu Keresete o tletse mo lefatsheng go boloka baleofi, mme ke ne ke le mogolo mo go bone botlhe.

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)

Mme Modimo o nkutlwetse botlhoko gore Jesu Keresete a ntirise jaaka sekao go supegetsa mongwe le mongwe gore o pelotelele go le kae le e leng mo baleofing ba bagolo, gore ba bangwe ba tle ba lemoge gore, le bone, ba ka nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (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)

A kgalalelo le tlotlo di nne go Modimo ka metlha le metlha. Ke kgosi ya dingwagangwaga, e e sa bonweng, e e sa sweng; ene ka esi ke Modimo, ebile o tletse botlhale Amen. (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,

Jaanong Timotheo, morwaaka, se ke taolo ya me mo go wena: tlhabana sentle mo dintweng tsa Morena, fela jaaka Morena a re boleletse ka baporofiti ba gagwe gore o tlaa dira.

19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,

Ngaparela tumelo ya gago thata mo go Keresete mme ka nako tsotlhe a segakolodi sa gago se nne se le phepa, o dira se o itseng gore se siame. Gonne batho ba bangwe ba tlhokile kutlo mo digakoloding tsa bone, mme ba dira ka bomo tse ba itsileng gore ga di a siama. Ga go hakgamatse gore erile ka bofefo ba latlhegelwa ke tumelo ya bone mo go Keresete ba sena go nyatsa Modimo jalo.

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

Humenaio le Alekesenda ke dikai tse pedi tsa sone se, ke ne ka ba neela Satane go ba otlhaya go fitlhelela ba ithuta go sa tlhabiseng leina la ga Keresete ditlhong.
