I Timothy 1

Paoly, Apostolin'i Kristy Jesosy araka ny didin'Andriamanitra, Mpamonjy antsika, sy Kristy Jesosy fanantenantsika,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

mamangy an'i Timoty, tena zanako amin'ny finoana: fahasoavana, famindram-po, fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Ray sy Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika.

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Toy ny nangatahako anao hitoetra any Efesosy, rehefa hankany Makedonia aho, mba handidianao ny sasany tsy hanao fampianarana hafahafa,

As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

na hitandrina ny anganongano sy ny tantaram-pirazanana tsy hita lany izay mahatonga ady hevitra, fa tsy mampandroso ny fitondrana araka an'Andriamanitra amin'ny finoana, dia toy izany koa no ataoko ankehitriny.

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Fa ny anton'ny didy dia fitiavana avy amin'ny fo madio sy ny fieritreretana tsara ary ny finoana tsy mihatsaravelatsihy,

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

izay nivilian'ny sasany, ka nania ho amin'ny taria foana izy,

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

dia olona izay te-ho mpampiana-dalàna, kanefa tsy fantany akory izay lazainy na izay itompoany.

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

Nefa fantatsika fa tsara ny lalàna, raha entin'ny olona araka izay antony,

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

ka fantany fa tsy ny olona marina no nanaovana ny lalàna, fa ny mpandika lalàna sy ny maditra, dia ny tsy matahotra an'Andriamanitra sy ny mpanota, ny olona tsy manaja izay masina sy ny olona vetaveta, ny mpamono ray sy ny mpamono reny, ny mpamono olona,

Knowing 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,

ny mpijangajanga, ny sodomita, ny mpangalatra olona, ny mpandainga, ny mpianian-tsy tò, ary na inona na inona manohitra ny fampianarana tsy misy kilema,

For 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;

araka ny filazantsaran'ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra finaritra, izay natolotra ho adidiko.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Misaotra an'i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika aho, Izay nampahery ahy, fa nataony mahatoky aho ka notendreny ho amin'ny fanompoana,

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

dia izaho, izay mpiteny ratsy fahiny sady mpanenjika sy mpampahory; kanefa nahazo famindram-po aho, satria tamin'ny tsi-fahalalana no nanaovako izany noho ny tsi-finoana.

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Fa be indrindra ny fahasoavan'ny Tompontsika tamin'ny finoana sy ny fitiavana, izay ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Mahatoky ka tokony hekena amin'ny fankasitrahana rehetra izao teny izao: tonga tetỳ ambonin'ny tany Kristy Jesosy hamonjy ny mpanota, ary amin'ireny izaho no lohany.

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

Kanefa izao no namindrana fo tamiko, dia ny mba hasehon'i Jesosy Kristy eo amiko, izay lohany, ny fahari-po rehetra ho fianarana ho an'izay hino Azy hahazoana fiainana mandrakizay.

Howbeit 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.

Ary ho an'ny Mpanjaka tsy manan-taloha, tsy mety maty, tsy hita, dia ho an'Andriamanitra tokana ihany anie ny laza sy ny voninahitra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Izao didy izao no omeko anao, ry Timoty zanako, araka ireo faminaniana natao fahiny ny aminao ireo, mba ho entinao miady ny ady tsara ireo,

This 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;

amin'ny itananao ny finoana sy ny fieritreretana tsara, izay efa narian'ny sasany, ka toy ny olona vaky sambo izy ny amin'ny finoana;

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

naman'ireny Hymeneo sy Aleksandro, izay natolotro ho an'i Satana mba hofaizana tsy hiteny ratsy.

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
