1 Timotawus 6
1 Du bi wa ba gran du ba toh ba ti koh ba ni daraja, duba ti naki saboda duba na kpa inde Irji ti meme ni blabla ma na.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and [his] doctrine may not be blasphemed.
2 Igran bi wa ba nei ni ba ti koh bi bangaskiya du ba na kpa ba tsir na don ba mri vayi kpaba, nakima baka ti dun ni kwazo ba tikoh waba ciriba idu bihu Irji kaunatatu ka koya di tsro ba ikpie bi yi
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 Inde ndi ri ye si bla kpie ri kan, dana kpa yeim ni tre Bachi bu Yesu Kristi, ni tre Irji.
If any man teacheth otherwise, and consenteth not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 Ani wur wo ni san da na to ikpie na, nakima a hei ni jayaya ni san yeiu, nitre, itre, itre bi yi ba jin hug, ni vie, ni mre, ni meme tre.
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Ani ji rashi jintuwa, ye ni mi ndi wa ba hei ni gigla hankula, ba kaba ni jaji da ni tre di hu Irji ahi koh u ti klen, iftlft ifqa wu ka chu tu me rhu ni mi ikpie baki ifqa
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 Ziza'a hu Irji di ghen a kikle riba.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Nakima kina ji kpie di ye ni gbugbulu na kina iya ji kpie di rhu ni mi na.
For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Nakima kika dagana ni biri ni kpie u' sur.
And having food and raiment, with these let us be content.
9 Naki biwa ba son zama biklen, ba joku ni mi jaraba ba trako, ba joku ni mi ikpie bi meme, ni sha'awoyi bi meme, ni ko gye wa ani jin ndi hi yo ni mi lalaci ni kug.
But they that will be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 Nakima son klen ahi ijah kowane meme kpie, ndi bari yadda ba wa klen, baka ikoh jaji ba ja nitu ba shijin ne gbugbuu.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Wu ndi u Irji, na ri iri kpie baki na, hu adalci, ikon irji, aminci, ison, vu suron, ni ti kpie didi.
But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Taku didima u' jaji, vu ivri u sise ni sei wa ba yo ye ni mi, itu wayi na shaida ni shishi ndi gbugbu'u nitu ipkie wa a didima (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Mo no u doka i ni shishi irji wa ani no vri ni kpie ba wawu'u, ni shi Almasihu Yesu, wa ahla kpie wa na didima ni Bilatus Babunti.
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession;
14 Hu doka dede du kpie u mre na hei ni mi na har ye Bachi bu Yesu Almasihu.
That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Irji ni tsro yema ni dede iton ma Irji u lulu, makadacin iko. Ichu wa ani yi sarauta, Bachi bu'u mulki.
Which in his times he will show [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Wa wu i ni kangrt ma ana kug na wa ani sun ni mi kpan, wa bana cih hi na. Ba ndi wa ani toh, ko ba hangi u' nikon a tabata ni 'u', ni iko u sisei ni sei Amin. (aiōnios g166)
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Hla ni bi kle ni mi gbugbulu i duba na zu tu na, duba na yo suron ni klen wa ana krie na, nakima baka yo suron ni Irji wa ani nota klen u jaji don kika ji dadi. (aiōn g165)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 Hla ni bawu duba ti nagarta, da ti klen ni du didima da ta zo ni bu wo.
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Naki bazi nituba harshashi u' didima, nitu ikpie wa'asi ye nibau' wa ba kpa rayuwa u kwarai.
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 Timotawus mla ikpie wa bana no. na cib hi ni bi tre ruru ni sen yieu ni kpie wa ani ga kpa ba, wa ba yo di ilimi u ce.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;
21 Indi bari basi duh iri kpie bi yi, don duba kauce ni jaji. Naki du alheri sun ni wa Amin.
Which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
