¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and 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 Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and 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.

³As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

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.

⁴neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, 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 goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere 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.

⁶from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

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

⁷desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly 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.

⁸But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,

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

⁹as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

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,

¹⁰for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

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

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

¹²And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

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.

¹³although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, 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.

¹⁴The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly 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.

¹⁵The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

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.

¹⁶However, 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 eternal life.

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 eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. 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 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;

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.

¹⁹holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the 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 delivered to Satan, that they might be taught 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.
