¹Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,

¹Katar o Pavlo, ek apostle le Jesus Kristosko, me tradino sim katar amaro skepitori ai katar O Jesus Kristo, amaro pachamos:

²to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

²Ka Timote, murho chacho shav ando pachamos, O Del O Dat ai O Jesus Kristo amaro skepitori te del tu o lashimos, e mila, ai e pacha.

³Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,

³Sar kana manglem tutar kana gelemtar ande Macedonia te beshes ande Ephesus. Ke si ando Ephesus manush kai parhuven o zakono le Devlesko, ai trobul te des len ordina te aterdion.

⁴nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.

⁴Phen lenge te meken kodola paramicha kai nai chache, ai te na mothon pel but papuria kai sas mai anglal, ke kadala dieli keren ferdi chingara ai chi zhutin lengo pachamos te zurion.

⁵But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

⁵Ke so mangav si, ke sa le sgave le Devleske kai si kotse te aven ande dragostia kai avel andak vuzho ilo, ai lenge ginduria te aven vuzhe, ai lengo pachamos te avel chacho.

⁶which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,

⁶Uni linepe pa kado drom o lasho ai xasaile ande kadala divanuria bi malade.

⁷desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.

⁷Won mangen te aven bare kai zhanen o zakono le Devlesko, numa won chi haliaren penge vorbi, ai chi pal dieli kai den duma ai gindin ke chache le.

⁸Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,

⁸Ame zhanas ke o zakono lasho lo te las ame pala leste vorta.

⁹knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,

⁹Ame zhanas ke o zakono nai thodino le manushenge kai keren mishto, numa le manushenge kai keren nasulimos, kodolenge kai chi pachan o mui, le bi lashenge, ai le bezexalenge, le manushenge kai chi respektin chi le Devles ai chi so si swunto, ai kodola kai mudaren penge dades vai penga da, le manushenge kai mudaren,

¹⁰fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,

¹⁰ai le manushenge kai keren e kurvia, ai le mursh kai soven andek than, ai kodolenge kai bichinen le slugen, le xoxamlenge, ai kodolenge kai solaxan bi malades, vai kodolenge kai keren so godi aver dieli ke so mothol o chacho zakono.

¹¹according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted.

¹¹Kado sicharimos ande lashi viasta lo kai sas ma dini, e lashi viasta kai si pa Del, O Del luvudime ai swuntsome.

¹²[And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him

¹²Me naisiv le Jesus Kristos amaro Devles, kai pherdia ma zor ande buchi kai dia ma. Me naisiv leske ke jindia pe mande, ai kai alosardia ma te kerav leski buchi.

¹³who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.

¹³Marka ke davas duma bi malades pa leste mai anglal, marka ke chinuisardem les, ai buzhukurisardem les. Numa O Del mila sas leske anda mande, ke nas ma o pachamos ai ke chi zhanavas so keravas.

¹⁴But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴Amaro Kristo shordia but pesko lashimos pe mande, ai dia ma o pachamos, ai e dragostia kai si ame andek than le Jesus Kristosa.

¹⁵Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am [the] first.

¹⁵Kadia vorba chachi la, ai trobul te avel premime, ai te pachanpe ande late le manush: ke O Jesus Kristo avilo ande lumia te skepil le bezexalen. Ai me simas iek baro bezexa lo mashkar le bezexale.

¹⁶But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal.

¹⁶Numa kodia le Devleske sas mila anda mande, manglia O Jesus Kristo te sikavel ke me sim o mai chorho andal bezexale, ai te sikavel peski rhavda sa kodolenge kai mai angle pachanpe ande leste, ai premina o traio kai chi mai getolpe.

¹⁷Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

¹⁷Tu amperatona kai ande swako vriama avesa, tu kai shoxar chi meres, tu kai chi dichos, ai tu san ferdi O Del kai zhanel swako fielo. Tuke te avel o respektimos, o luvudimos ande swako vriama. Amen.

¹⁸This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,

¹⁸O Timote, murho shav, mekav tuke, so sas tuke phendo palal vorbi kai sas ande profesi, kai sas phende mai anglal pa tute. Ankerdiol katar kadala vorbi saxke te zhas angle ai te niris.

¹⁹maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;

¹⁹Garav o pachamos, ai lashe ginduria, ke uni chi mangle te lenpe pala pende ginduria, ai porme xasarde pengo pachamos.

²⁰of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.

²⁰Mashkar lende si o Himenaeus ai o Alexander, kai meklem le le bengeske, saxke te sichon te na maren mui katar O Del.
