1Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2i gma-tneɣ Timuti f+ i d-ṛebbaɣ di liman am mmi n tideț, lbaṛaka, ṛṛeḥma ț-țalwit a k-d-țțunefkent s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi Baba-tneɣ akk-d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ Ssid-nneɣ.
2to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3Akken i k-nhiɣ uqbel ad ṛuḥeɣ ɣer tmurt n Masidunya qqim di temdint n Ifasus f+ iwakken ur tețțaǧǧaḍ ara kra n yemdanen ad slemden ayen i gxulfen tikli di liman,
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,
4ini-asen ad xḍun i tmucuha f+ d umeslay n zzux ɣef yizuṛan n tjaddit ur nețfaka, ayagi yețțawi-d lehduṛ ur nesɛi lfayda i ɣ-issebɛaden ɣef liman d lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi.
4nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
5A sen-tiniḍ annect-agi iwakken a d-tessakiḍ deg wulawen-nsen leḥmala yeṣfan, ad ithedden lxaṭer-nsen yerna ad sɛun liman n tideț ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
5But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
6Llan kra n yemdanen ffɣen i webrid, țmeslayen kan ɣef wayen ur nesɛi lmeɛna.
6which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
7Bɣan ad slemden i wiyaḍ ccariɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi, nutni s yiman-nsen ur fhimen d acu i d qqaṛen ur fhimen ayen i sselmaden.
7desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
8Neẓra belli ccariɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi d ayen yelhan ma yella netbeɛ-iț akken ilaq,
8Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
9meɛna ilaq daɣen a nẓer belli ccariɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi ur d-tețțunefk ara ɣef ddemma n iḥeqqiyen meɛna tețțunefk-ed ɣef ddemma n yemcumen, i wid iɛuṣan Ṛebbi, i imejhal, i imednuben akk-d wid ur nețțak ara lqima i wayen iqedsen, wid ur nețqadaṛ ara Ṛebbi, wid ineqqen imawlan-nsen akk-d iqettalen,
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,
10i wid yeffɣen i webrid, i wat lɛaṛ, i wid itjaṛen deg waklan akk-d i ikeddaben, i wid ur nețțaṭṭaf ara deg wawal-nsen neɣ wid yețxalafen aselmed n tideț i wen-d yețțunefken.
10fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11Akka i gella di lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i yi-d-ițțunefken, i d-isbegginen tamanegt n Sidi Ṛebbi ameɣlal.
11according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted.
12Ad ḥemdeɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ Ssid-nneɣ i yi-isǧehden, i yi-fkan laman iwakken ad iliɣ d aqeddac-is, yextaṛ-iyi-d ad iliɣ d aqeddac-is
12[And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
13ɣas akken zik regmeɣ-t yerna qehṛeɣ wid yumnen yis. Meɛna iɛfa-yi axaṭer imiren ur ẓriɣ ara d acu xeddmeɣ imi mazal ur sɛiɣ ara liman deg ul-iw.
13who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
14Tura ṛṛeḥma-s tameqqrant ters-ed fell-i s liman d leḥmala yellan deg-s.
14But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
15Awal-agi d awal n tideț yuklalen ad ițwaqbel s lekmal-is : « Ɛisa Lmasiḥ yusa-d ɣer ddunit iwakken ad isellek imednuben ».
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.
16Iḥunn-ed fell-i nekk yellan d amednub ameqqran iwakken a d-isbeggen ṛṛeḥma-s yerna ad iliɣ d lemtel sya ɣer zdat i wid ara yamnen yis ad sɛun tudert n dayem.
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.
17I ugellid n dayem, ameɣlal ur țwalint wallen, win yellan d yiwen, i nețța tamanegt d lɛezz si lǧil ɣer lǧil ! Amin !
17Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
18A Timuti a mmi, a k-weṣṣiɣ ɣef wayen i d-caren fell-ak s ɣuṛ Ṛebbi si zik. Eṭṭef deg imeslayen-nni, sseǧhed iman-ik di liman s wul yeṣfan tedduḍ akken ilaq,
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,
19axaṭer kra n yemdanen nniḍen wexxṛen i tikli yeṣfan armi i sṛuḥen liman-nsen.
19maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
20Llan gar-asen ?imni d Alixandru f+ sellmeɣ-ten i Cciṭan iwakken ad ẓren amek i tdeṛṛu d wid ireggmen Sidi Ṛebbi.
20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
