1 Timothy 6
1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.
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.
2 Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.
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
3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,
Inde ndi ri ye si bla kpie ri kan, dana kpa yeim ni tre Bachi bu Yesu Kristi, ni tre Irji.
4 he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,
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.
5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.
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
6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.
Ziza'a hu Irji di ghen a kikle riba.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
Nakima kina ji kpie di ye ni gbugbulu na kina iya ji kpie di rhu ni mi na.
8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
Nakima kika dagana ni biri ni kpie u' sur.
9 Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
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.
10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Nakima son klen ahi ijah kowane meme kpie, ndi bari yadda ba wa klen, baka ikoh jaji ba ja nitu ba shijin ne gbugbuu.
11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Wu ndi u Irji, na ri iri kpie baki na, hu adalci, ikon irji, aminci, ison, vu suron, ni ti kpie didi.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
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)
13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:
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.
14 Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Hu doka dede du kpie u mre na hei ni mi na har ye Bachi bu Yesu Almasihu.
15 which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.
Irji ni tsro yema ni dede iton ma Irji u lulu, makadacin iko. Ichu wa ani yi sarauta, Bachi bu'u mulki.
16 He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
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)
17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. (aiōn g165)
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)
18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
Hla ni bawu duba ti nagarta, da ti klen ni du didima da ta zo ni bu wo.
19 treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
Naki bazi nituba harshashi u' didima, nitu ikpie wa'asi ye nibau' wa ba kpa rayuwa u kwarai.
20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”
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.
21 which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
Indi bari basi duh iri kpie bi yi, don duba kauce ni jaji. Naki du alheri sun ni wa Amin.
