1 Timothy 1
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he fekau ʻae ʻOtua ko hotau Fakamoʻui, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko hotau ʻamanaki leleiʻanga;
2Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
2Ko e ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, mo Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki; kia Timote, ko hoku foha moʻoni ʻi he tui.
3As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
3ʻO hangē ko ʻeku kole kiate koe ke ke nofo pe ʻi ʻEfesō, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki Masitōnia, koeʻuhi ke ke fekaua ʻae niʻihi ke ʻoua te nau ako ʻaki ha akonaki kehe,
4Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do .
4Ke ʻoua foki ʻe tokanga ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa mo e hohoko taʻetuku, ʻaia ʻoku langa ai ʻae fakakikihi, kae ʻikai ko e felangaʻaki hake fakaʻotua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tui.
5Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
5Pea ko eni, ko hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fekau, ko e ʻofa mei he loto maʻa, mo e ʻatamai lelei, mo e tui taʻemalualoi:
6From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
6ʻAia kuo afe mei ai ʻae niʻihi, pea kuo nau he ki he ngaahi launoa;
7Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
7ʻO holi ke hoko ko e kau akonaki ʻi he fono; ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku nau lau, pe ko ia ʻoku nau lea fakapapau ki ai.
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
8Ka ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku lelei ʻae fono, ʻo kapau ʻoku ngaue ʻaonga ʻaki ia ʻe he tangata;
9Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
9ʻO ʻilo eni, naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae fono ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni, ka ki he kau liʻaki fono, mo e talangataʻa, mo e taʻelotu, mo e kau angahala, ki he taʻemaʻa, mo e manuki, ki he kau tāmateʻi ʻoe tamai mo e tāmateʻi ʻoe faʻē, mo e kau tāmateʻi ʻoe tangata,
10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
10Ki he kau feʻauaki, kiate kinautolu ʻoku fefakaʻuliʻaki ʻakinautolu mo e kakai, ki he kau kaihaʻa tangata, ki he kau loi, ki he kau fuakava loi, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu kehe mo e akonaki totonu;
11According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
11ʻO fakatatau mo e ongoongolelei nāunauʻia ʻoe ʻOtua monūʻia, ʻaia naʻe tuku mai ke u tauhi ia.
12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
12Pea ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo ne fakamālohiʻi au, ʻi heʻene lau au ko e angatonu, ʻo ne fakahoko au ki he ngaue;
13Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
13A au naʻaku lauʻikoviʻi ia ʻi muʻa, mo fakatangaʻi, mo fai kovi: ka naʻaku maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, he naʻaku taʻetui ko e fai ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki, ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
15Ko e tala moʻoni eni, pea ʻoku taau mo e kakai kotoa pē ke maʻu ia, naʻe hāʻele ʻa Kalaisi Sisu ki māmani ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai angahala; pea ko hono fungani au.
16Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
16Ka koe meʻa ni naʻaku maʻu ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ke fakahā atu ʻe Sisu Kalaisi ʻiate au, ko e fungani, ʻae kātaki ʻofa kotoa pē, pea ke u hoko ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu ʻe tui kiate ia ʻamui ki he moʻui taʻengata.
17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
17Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he Tuʻi ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa, mo taʻemate, mo taʻehāmai, ki he ʻOtua poto taha pe, ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
18This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
18E foha ko Timote, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻae fekau ni kiate koe, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi kikite ʻi muʻa naʻe kau kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke faʻa fai mei ai ʻae tau lelei:
19Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
19ʻO puke maʻu ʻae tui, mo e ʻatamai lelei; ʻaia kuo siʻaki ʻe he niʻihi, pea ko ʻenau tui kuo tūkia ʻo mate:
20Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
20ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAiminia mo ʻAlekisānita; kuo u tukuange ʻakinaua kia Sētane, ke na ʻilo ke ʻoua te na lauʻikovi.
