1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many bondmen as are under yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed.
Vavanda voha viganikiwa kuvatopesa neju vakulu vavi muni kukoto kuvya na vandu vevakuliliga liina la Chapanga na mawuliwu gitu.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them] because they are brethren; but let them the rather serve them with subjection, because they are faithful and beloved, who profit by the good and ready service [rendered]. These things teach and exhort.
Vavanda ndi vakulu vavi ndi vakilisitu vakoto kuvavevesa muni ndi valongo vavi mu Kilisitu. Pahala paki, viganikiwa hati kuvahengela bwina neju, muni venavo vipata chiyonjokesu chivaha kuhuma mulihengu levikita vavanda avo, ndava muni vasadika vevakuvagana. Uganikiwa kuwula na kukokosa mambu aga.
3 If any one teach differently, and do not accede to sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which [is] according to piety,
Mundu yoyoha mweiwula chimumbele na mambu aga, na mwangayidakila malovi ga chakaka ga Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu na mawuliwu ga kutama mukumganisa Chapanga,
4 he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,
mwenuyo amemili kumeka na ndi amanyi lepi chindu chochoha. Ndi mundu mweigana ndindani na kutovana kwa malovi gawaka, na chenicho chileta wihu na ngondo na maligu na mnogo uhakau,
5 constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.
na ndindani zangali mwishu kuhuma kwa vandu vangali luhala, na vangali uchakaka kangi. Viholalela kumhengela Chapanga ndi njila ya kupata vindu vyamahele.
6 But piety with contentment is great gain.
Chakaka kumhengela Chapanga yikumkita mundu avya na vindu vyamahele neju, ngati ikola na vindu vyeavili navyu.
7 For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.
Muni taletili lepi chindu chochoha pamulima apa, mewa tivya nakutola chindu chochoha.
8 But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.
Hunu ndi, ngati tivii na chakulya na nyula, genago gakutikola.
9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.
Nambu vala vevigana kuvya na vindu vyamahele vigwa mukulingiwa, na kuyonjwa mulikoka la mnogo wamahele wa chiyimu, weukuvahuta mbaka mukuhakala na kuhalabika.
10 For the love of money is [the] root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Muni kugana neju mashonga ndi kutumbula uhakau woha. Vandu vamahele vinogela neju kupata mashonga hati kung'ahika kutali na sadika, na kujihoma mumitima wavi kwa ungolongondi uvaha.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.
Nambu veve wamundu wa Chapanga, jivika kutali na mambu ago. Londa kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga na kutama wumi wa kumuhengela mwene mewawa uvya na sadika na uganu na ulindila na ungolongondi.
12 Strive earnestly [in] the good conflict of faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Tova ngondo yila yabwina ya sadika, muni upata njombi ya wumi wa magono goha, muni genago ndi gawakemeliwi na Chapanga, pewajovili wamwene ukumyidikila Kilisitu palongolo ya vandu vamahele. (aiōnios g166)
13 I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,
Palongolo ya Chapanga mweakuvipela vindu vyoha wumi, na palongolo ya Kilisitu Yesu mweavajovili vandu vangi mambu ga chakaka palongolo ya Ponsio Pilatu,
14 that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
nikulagiza ukamula mihilu yaku na kuyilanda kwa uchakaka mbaka ligono lila la leiwuya Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
15 which in its own time the blessed and only Ruler shall shew, the King of those that reign, and Lord of those that exercise lordship;
Kuwuya kwaki kukitika lukumbi lwaluganikiwa waupangiwi na Chapanga mwene mweilumbiwa na mweilongosa, Nkosi wa vankosi, na Bambu wa mabambu.
16 who only has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor is able to see; to whom [be] honour and eternal might. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Mwene ndu ihotola kutama magono goha gangali mwishu na ihotola kutama mu lumuli lwangahegelewa na mundu. Kawaka mundu mweamuwene amala mweihotola kumlola. Kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na uhotola wa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōnios g166)
17 Enjoin on those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust on the uncertainty of riches; but in the God who affords us all things richly for [our] enjoyment; (aiōn g165)
Valagiza vandu vevavili na vindu vyamahele magono aga, vakotoka kumeka, vakotoka kuhuvalila vindu vyangahuvalila, ndi vamuhuvalila Chapanga, mweakutipela vindu vyoha tivisangalukila ngati mashonga. (aiōn g165)
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],
Valagiza vakita gabwina, vavyai na vindu vyamahele mukukita gabwina, vavya na mtima wabwina muni vajitendekili kuvapela vangi vindu vyavi.
19 laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of [what is] really life.
Mukukita chenicho yati vakujivikila mkingisa kwa kugotola vindu vyamahele muwumi weubwela ndi wumi wa chakaka ndi ngati mundu mweakujilundikila vindu vyamahele kwa wumi wa palongolo.
20 O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge,
Timoti, vika bwina gala goha gewagotoliwi. Jivika kutali na majovesano ga pamulima na ng'omo ya chihomela ndava ya chila vandu vangi vakuchikemela “Umanya.”
21 of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace [be] with thee.
Muni vandu vangi vimeka ndava ya kuvya na umanya wenuwo, na kuyagisa sadika. Nikuvaganila voha ubwina wa Chapanga!
