Sie Timothy 1

1 Ma sel Paul, sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus fal nu ke sap lun God Mwet Lango lasr, ac Christ Jesus, su mwe finsrak lasr —

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

2 Nu sel Timothy, tulik pwaye nutik in lulalfongi: Lungkulang, pakoten ac misla nu sum sin God Papa, ac Christ Jesus Leum lasr.

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

3 Nga lungse kom in mutana Ephesus, oana ke nga tuh kwafe sum ke nga fahsr in som nu Macedonia. Kutu sin mwet we ah elos luti ke mwe luti sutuu, ac kom enenu in sap elos in tui.

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 Fahk nu selos elos in tia sisla pacl lalos ke sramsram matu lusrongten lalos, oayapa ke tak sou loeloes ke fwil matu lalos su mwe na purakak akukuin, ac tia ma ac kasru mwet nu ke orekma lun God, su ma ke lulalfongi mukena.

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

5 Sripen sap ku se inge ma in mokleak lungse, su tuku ke inse nasnas ac elah wo ac lulalfongi pwaye.

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

6 Kutu mwet uh forla liki ma inge ac kuhfla nu ke kaskas lusrongten.

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

7 Elos lungse tuh elos in mwet luti ke ma sap lun God, a elos tia kalem ke ma elos sifacna fahk, ku ke kalmen ma elos lulalfongi yohk kac.

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

8 Kut etu lah Ma Sap uh wo, fin orekmakinyuk oana ma oakwuk nu kac.

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

9 Kut enenu in esam lah ma sap uh tia orekla nu sin mwet suwoswos, a ma nu sin mwet su kunaus ma sap, mwet orekma koluk, mwet su nikin God, mwet koluk, mwet tia etu alu, mwet pilesru ma lun ngun, mwet su uniya papa ac nina, mwet akmas,

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 mwet kosro, mukul ma oru ouiya sufal nu sin mukul, mwet su kukakin mwet tuh elos in mwet kohs, mwet kaskas kikiap ac mwet orek loh kikiap, ac kutepacna mwet su oru ma in lain mwe luti pwaye.

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 Mwe luti inge oasr ke Wosasu se su ituku nu sik in fahkak, aok Pweng Wolana sin God su fal in kaksakinyuk.

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

12 Nga sang kulo nu sin Christ Jesus Leum lasr, su akkeyeyu ke orekma luk. Nga sang kulo nu sel tuh el oekyu mu nga fal ac el srisrngiyuwi in kulansap nu sel,

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

13 nga finne sie mwet su fahk kas koluk kacl in pacl meet, ac sie su akkolukye ac kalyei orekma lal. Tusruktu God El pakoten nu sik mweyen nga oru ma inge in ninikin, ac in selulalfongi luk.

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

14 Ac Leum lasr el akkalemye lungkulang yoklana lal nu sik, ac ase nu sik lulalfongi ac lungse, su ma lasr ke kut kupasryang yurin Christ Jesus.

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

15 Kas pwaye se pa inge, su fal in porongeyuk ac lulalfongiyuk: tuh Christ Jesus el tuku nu faclu in molela mwet koluk. Ac nga koluk yohk lukelos nukewa,

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 tusruktu pa inge sripa se God El pakoten nu sik, in akkalemye lupan muteng lun Christ Jesus nu sik, su koluk liki mwet koluk nukewa, tuh in mwe srikasrak nu selos su ac mau lulalfongi in el ke pacl tok, ac eis moul ma pahtpat. (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 Inge, nu sin Tokosra se su moul ma pahtpat, su ac tia misa ac su koflana in liyeyuk, God sefanna — in kaksakinyuk ac akfulatyeyuk El ma pahtpat ac ma pahtpat! Amen. (aiōn g165)

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

18 Timothy, ma nutik, nga filiya kas in kai inge nu sum, su fal nu ke kas in palu ma fwack keim in pacl meet ah. Orekmakin kas inge in oana kufwen mwe mweun tuh kom fah mweun wo,

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 ac sruokya lulalfongi lom oayapa elah wo in kom. Kutu mwet uh tia taran elah wo in elos, pwanang lulalfongi lalos kunausyukla, oana soko oak ma musalla in meoa uh.

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

20 Ac luo selos pa Hymenaeus ac Alexander, su nga kaeltal ke nga eisaltalang nu ke ku lun Satan; ac ma inge ac lotelos in tia sifil kaskas enum lain God.

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