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 as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be 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.

Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

3 Ka ngʼato opuonjo gima opogore ma ok owinjore gi puonj ma adier mag Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo kendo mamiyo ji luoro Nyasaye,

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

5 kod miero ma ok rum e kind joma pachgi osekethore kendo ma adiera oselalnigi. Giparo ni lamo Nyasaye en yor yudo mwandu.

constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

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 we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.

8 Omiyo ka wan gi chiemo kod lewni to mago mondo oromwa.

But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

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.

But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.

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 a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have 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 you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

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)

Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of 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 command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

14 mondo irit Chikni ma ok iketho bende ma ok irem nyaka chop Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo fwenyre

that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until 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 its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, 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 has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. 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 those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (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.

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

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 in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly 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.

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

21 Jomoko mawacho ni gin gi rieko ma kamano osebayo yo moweyo yie. Ngʼwono obed kodu un duto.

which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
