1 Timotheo 1

1 Paulo, intumwa ya Kristo Yesu, okulubhana ne chilagilo cha Nyamuanga no Mukisha weswe Yesu Kristo unu ali bhubhasi bhweswe,

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2 ku Timotheo omwana wani we chimali mu likilisha: Echigongo, echisa no mulembe ebhyo bhisokele ku Nyamuanga Lata na Kristo Yesu Omukama weswe.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Lwa kutyo nakwilembelesishe anu nasokeleo ningenda Makedonia, usigale Efeso koleleki utule okubhaganya abhanu bhalebhe bhasige okwiigisha ameigisho ganu gatasikene.

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,

4 Ka lindi bhasige okutegelesha jingani no bhwitondo bhwa jinganda jinu jitana bhutelo. Ganu agaletelela obhuyakani bhwanfu nibhalema okugendelesha obhwitondo bhwa Nyamuanga obhwe likilisha.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

5 Mbe nawe injuno yo bhulagiliye bhunu ni kwenda kunu kusokele mu mwoyo gwe kisi, na meganilisho go bhwana mu likilisha lye chimali.

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

6 Abhanu bhalebhe bhabhulilwe echimali nibhasiga ameigisho ganu no kuindukila amagambo ge chimumu.

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

7 Abhenda okubha bheigisha bhe bhilagilo, mbe nawe bhatakumenya chinu abhaika nolwo chinu abhakomelesha.

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

8 Mbe nawe chimenyele ati echilagilo ni cha kisi omunu akachilubha mu bhwe kisi.

But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

9 Chimenyele ati, echilagilo chitateyweo kulwo munu wo bhulengelesi, mbe nawe kulwa bhanu abhanyamula ebhilagilo na bhakai, abhanu bhanu bhatali bhalengelesi na bhabhibhi, bhanu bhatana Nyamuanga na abhajabhi. Itulilweo kulwa bheti bha bhesemwene na bha nyilamwene, abheti,

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 those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

10 kulwa bhashani, kulwa bhalomesi, kulwa abhanu bhanu abhagega abhanu nibhabhakola kubha bhagaya, kulwa bhalimi, kulwa bhabhambasi bho lulimi, na wona wona unu atasikene no bhulagilie bhwo bhulengelesi.

for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

11 Obhulagilie bhunu obhusoka mu injili inu ina likusho lya Nyamuanga unu ana mabhando ganu niikanyibhwe.

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

12 Enimusima Yesu Kristo Omukama weswe. Anteemo amanaga, kulwo kubha ambalile anye kubha mulengelesi, nantula mu bhukosi.

And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 Naliga nili munu wo kugaya, kunyasha no mulwani. Mbe nawe nabhwene echigongo kulwo kubha nakolele kulwo bhumumu bhwo kulema okwikilisha.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 Mbe nawe echigongo cha Nyamuanga weswe chijuye elikilisha no kwenda kunu kuli mu Kristo Yesu.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 Obhubhambasi bhunu ni bhwo kwikilisibhwa na bhwiile okulamilwa na bhone, ati Kristo Yesu ejile mu chalo okukisha abhabhibhi. Anye ndi mubhibhi kukila bhone.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Mbe nawe kulwe misango ejo anye nabhwene echisa koleleki mwanye Kristo Yesu eleshe okwigumilisha kwone. Akolele kutiyo abhe chijejekanyo mu bhone bhanu bhali mwiikanya omwene kulwo bhuanga bhwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Mbe woli ku Mukama unu atana bhutelo, unu atakufwa, unu atakubhonekana, Nyamuanga enyere, chibhe chibhalo na likusho kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 Lilagililo linu enilitula imbele yao Timotheo, omwana wani. Enikola kutyo kwo kulubhilila obhulagi bhunu bhwasosibhwe ku bhwambilo kwawe, koleleki ubhe mubhulemo bhwe kisi.

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

19 Kola kutyo ubhe ne likilisha na meganilisho ge kisi. Bhalio abhanu bhanu bhalemele ganu nibhasingalisha elikilisha.

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

20 Lwa Himeneyo na Alekizanda bhanu nimuyaye Shetani koleleki bheigisibhwe bhasiga kugaya.

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