1 Timotheo 6
1 Ji duto manie tich mar misumba onego omi jotendgi luor mowinjore kodgi mondo nying Nyasaye kod puonj mwapuonjo kik yany.
LET as many slaves as are under the yoke account their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 Jogo man-gi ruodhi moyie kuom Kristo kik nyisgi achaya moro amora nikech gin jowete kuom Kristo. Kar timo kamano to owinjore gitinegi maber moloyo, nikech jogo mayudo ohala e tichgi gin owete kuom Kristo ma gihero. Magi e gik manyaka ipuonj ji kijiwogi matek.
But they who have believing masters, let them not think less of them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who have equally partaken of the benefit. These things teach and enjoin.
3 Ka ngʼato opuonjo gima opogore ma ok owinjore gi puonj ma adier mag Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo kendo mamiyo ji luoro Nyasaye,
If any man teach another doctrine, and attend not to the sound words, which are those of Jesus Christ our Lord, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 to ngʼeuru ni ngʼat ma kamano wuondore kende owuon bende onge gima ongʼeyo. Ngʼat ma kamano kasore gi mino wach kendo gigoyo mbaka manono makelo nyiego, gi dhawo, gi kuoth, kod chich maricho;
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but delirious with disputes and quarrels about words, from whence come wrath, contentions, evil speakings, wrong suspicions,
5 kod miero ma ok rum e kind joma pachgi osekethore kendo ma adiera oselalnigi. Giparo ni lamo Nyasaye en yor yudo mwandu.
perverse wranglings of men corrupt in mind, and destitute of truth, who think to make gain of godliness; depart from such men.
6 To geno Nyasaye gi chuny modhil en ohala maduongʼ.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Nimar onge gima ne wakelo e pinyni kendo onge gima wabiro kawo wadhigo.
For that we brought nothing into the world is evident, neither can we carry any thing out of it.
8 Omiyo ka wan gi chiemo kod lewni to mago mondo oromwa.
Having then food and raiment, let us be therewith content.
9 Joma gombo mondo obed gi mwandu nwangʼo tem kendo gimoko e obadho kuom gik mofuwo mangʼeny kod gombo mathoth kendo gombo ma kamano kelo kethruok kendo miyo ji lal.
For they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful passions, which sink men in the abyss of destruction and perdition.
10 Nikech hero pesa e chakruok mar kit richo duto. Jomoko ma chunygi osegedo e yore mag yudo pesa oseweyo yie mi gichwowo chunygi giwegi gi masiche mathoth.
For the love of money is the root of all evils, which some coveting, have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 To in, ngʼat Nyasaye, pogri gi mago duto kiketo chunyi kuom ngima makare kod luoro Nyasaye gi yie kod hera kendo kitimo kinda kod muolo.
But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; but pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Ked lweny maber mar yie, kendo mak matek wach ngima mochwere mane oluongine chiengʼ mane itimo neno maber e nyim joneno mathoth. (aiōnios g166)
Strain every nerve in the noble conflict of faith, lay fast hold on eternal life, unto which also thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 E nyim Nyasaye mamiyo gik moko duto ngima, kendo e nyim Kristo Yesu ma notimo neno maber kane owuoyo e nyim Pontio Pilato, achiki ni
I conjure thee in the presence of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who witnessed that noble confession before Pontius Pilate;
14 mondo irit Chikni ma ok iketho bende ma ok irem nyaka chop Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo fwenyre
that thou observe this injunction spotless, irreproachable, unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 ma Nyasaye nokel e kinde mochano owuon; Nyasaye mipako, ma en wuon Loch makende, kendo ma en Jaloch mar joloch kendo Ruoth mar ruodhi;
which in his own appointed times he will shew forth, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Jal ma ok tho kendo modak e ler ma dhano ok nyal ngʼiyo tir; kendo Jal maonge ngʼama oseneno kata manyalo neno. Duongʼ gi loch duto odogne nyaka chiengʼ. Amin. (aiōnios g166)
who alone possesseth immortality, inhabiting light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and glory eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nyis joma nigi mwandu e pinyni mondo kik gibed jongʼayi bende kik giket genogi kuom mwandu mabiro leny nono to giket genogi kuom Nyasaye mamiyowa gik moko duto mabup mondo wabedgo mamor. (aiōn g165)
Charge the rich in this world not to be lifted up with pride, nor to trust on the stability of wealth, but on the living God, who giveth us richly all things for our enjoyment; (aiōn g165)
18 Chikgi mondo gitim maber, ka gipongʼ gi mwandu mag timbe mabeyo kendo gibed mangʼwon ka giikore pogo mwandugi ne ji mochando gik ma gin-go.
to do good, to be rich in generous actions, to take pleasure in liberality, ready to distribute;
19 Ka gitimo kamano to gibiro kano mwandu ne gin giwegi, kendo mano nodognegi mise motegno e ndalo mabiro, mondo omi gibed gi ngima madiera man-gi tiende.
laying up treasure for themselves a noble foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 To in Timotheo, rit maber gima oseketi e lweti maber mondo iriti. Pogri gi mbekni manono mag piny gi gwenyo wach ma ji okawo ni rieko to ok gin rieko.
O Timothy, guard the sacred deposit, avoiding profane trifling talk, and antitheses of misnamed science:
21 Jomoko mawacho ni gin gi rieko ma kamano osebayo yo moweyo yie. Ngʼwono obed kodu un duto.
which some affecting have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.―Amen. The first epistle was written from Laodicea, which is the metropolis of Phrygia Pacatiana.
