The First Letter Paul Write to Timothy
1 Da me Paul, God choose me to be Jesus Christ apostle. God will save us, and Jesus Christ da our hope. 2 I writing to Timothy* who serving God like me and he looking like my own child.
Let the special kindness, mercy, and peace da come from God and our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
3 When I wor getting ready to go to Mac·e·doʹni·a, I tell you to stay in Ephʹe·sus. Now, I want you to stay there again so da you can tell some people to not spread false teachings. 4 Also, tell them to not pay attention to lie-lie story dem and thing dem da people write about family history. Nothing good can come from this kindna thing dem. But it can only make people to talk about thing dem da they not get any proof for. And it not get anything to do with what God can do to help people get faith. 5 To tell you the truth, the reason why I giving this direction da for us to get love da come from our clean heart, good conscience and the faith da will make us to not pretend. 6 Because some people not follow this direction dem, they start talking thing dem da can’t benefit anybody. 7 They want teach people God law,* but they not understand the thing dem they saying or the thing dem they can be teaching with zeal.
8 But now we know da the Law good if somebody use it the right way. 9 Remember da people can’t make law for those who can do the right thing. But they can make law for people who can’t obey, people who hard head, wicked people, sinners, people who not loyal,* people da can’t show any respect for thing dem da holy, people who can kill their ma, people who can kill their pa, those who can kill other people, 10 people who can commit sexual immorality,* men dem who can love to other men dem, those who can kidnap other people, people who can lie, people who can break their promise, and any other thing da go against the correct teaching.* 11 This teaching go in line with the wonderful good news da come from the happy God. And he choose me to preach the good news.
12 Our Lord Jesus Christ give me strength, and I tell him thank you because he look at me to be somebody who faithful and give me this work. 13 He do this one even though I use to talk bad against God. I use to suffer his people dem and I wor not having respect for anybody. But God feel sorry for me because I never knew what I wor doing and I wor not having faith. 14 But our Lord show me special kindness more and more and I get faith and love because I Jesus Christ disciple. 15 This thing I coming say da true, and da something people mon believe with their whole heart. Jesus Christ came in the world to save sinners, and I the worse sinner among all of them. 16 But Jesus Christ feel sorry for me even though I the worse sinner. He do this one so da through me, he can show da he patient in everything. Da this one make me to be example to the people dem who will put their faith in Jesus for them to live forever.
17 Let the only God who will continue to be King forever, and who will never die and who nobody can see, get the honor and praise forever and ever. Amen
18 My son Timothy, I give this direction to you, and it in line with what the prophet dem say about you. This thing dem will help you to continue to fight like good soldier. 19 When you doing this one, you mon continue to get faith and good conscience. But some people na spoil their conscience and it na make them to lose their faith just like when ship spoil and go under the water. 20 Hy·me·naeʹus and Alexander among this people dem. I na give them to Satan so da the punishment will teach them to not talk bad against God.
