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.
Aoka izay andevo rehetra eo ambanin’ ny zioga hanao ny tompony ho miendrika hohajaina tsara, mba tsy hitenenana ratsy ny anaran’ Andriamanitra sy ny fampianarana.
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.
Ary izay manana tompo mino dia aoka tsy hanao tsinontsinona azy, satria rahalahy izy; fa vao mainka tokony hotompoiny aza izy, satria mino sy malala ilay mpandray ny soa atao. Izany zavatra izany no ampianaro sy ananaro.
3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,
Raha misy olona manao fampianarana hafa noho izany ka tsy manaiky ny teny tsy misy kilema, dia ny an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, sy ny fampianarana izay mahatonga ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
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,
dia mieboebo foana izy ka tsy mahalala na inona na inona, fa adala amin’ ny fiadian-kevitra sy ny fiadian-teny izay mahatonga fialonana, fifandirana, fanaratsiana, fiahiahian-dratsy,
5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.
fifandirana lalandava, fanaon’ ny olona vetaveta saina sady efa nialan’ ny fahamarinana, manao ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra ho fahazoan-javatra.
6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.
Fa misy tombony lehibe tokoa ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra omban’ ny fianinana.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
Fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona ho amin’ izao tontolo izao isika, sady hita fa tsy hahatondra na inona na inona hiala.
8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
Fa raha manan-kanina sy fitafiana isika, dia aoka hianina amin’ izany.
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.
Ary izay ta-hanan-karena dia latsaka amin’ ny fakam-panahy sy ny fandrika ary ny filàna maro tsy misy antony sady mandratra, izay mandentika ny olona ao amin’ ny fandringanana sy ny fahaverezana.
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.
Fa ny fitiavam-bola no fototry ny ratsy rehetra, koa ny sasany izay fatra-pitady izany dia efa voavily niala tamin’ ny finoana ka nanindrona ny tenany tamin’ ny alahelo be.
11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Fa ianao kosa, sy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, mandosira izany zavatra izany, ka miezaha mitady fahamarinana, toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra, finoana, fitiavana, faharetana, fahalemem-panahy.
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)
Miadia ny ady tsaran’ ny finoana, hazòny ny fiainana mandrakizay; fa ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anao koa sy nanaovanao ilay fanekena tsara teo imason’ ny vavolombelona maro. (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:
Izaho mananatra anao eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, Izay mamelona ny zavatra rehetra, ary eo anatrehan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nanao ilay fanekena tsara teo anatrehan’ i Pontio Pilato,
14 Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
mba hotehirizinao tsy hanan-tsiny amam-pondro hatramin’ ny fisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika izany didy izany;
15 which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.
ny Andriana finaritra sady tokana, Mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka sy Tompon’ ny tompo, no haneho izany amin’ ny fotoany;
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)
Izy ihany no manana ny tsi-fahafatesana, mitoetra eo amin’ ny mazava tsy azo hatonina, Izay tsy hitan’ olona sady tsy hainy jerena; ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay. Amena. (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)
Anaro ny mpanankarena amin’ izao fiainana ankehitriny izao mba tsy hiavonavona, na hatoky ny harena miovaova, fa Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika malalaka ny zavatra rehetra mba hifaliantsika, (aiōn g165)
18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
mba hanao soa, mba hanan-karena amin’ ny asa tsara, hazoto manome sy miantra,
19 treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
ka dia hihary fanorenana tsara ho an’ ny tenany ho amin’ ny andro ho avy, mba hihazonany ny tena fiainana.
20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”
Ry Timoty, tehirizo ilay natolotra anao, ka mialà amin’ ny fibedibedena foana sy ny fanoherana avy amin’ izay atao hoe fahalalana, kanjo tsy izy,
21 which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
izay neken’ ny sasany, ka nania tamin’ ny finoana izy. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.
