< 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.
yāvantō lōkā yugadhāriṇō dāsāḥ santi tē svasvasvāminaṁ pūrṇasamādarayōgyaṁ manyantāṁ nō cēd īśvarasya nāmna upadēśasya ca nindā sambhaviṣyati|
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.
yēṣāñca svāminō viśvāsinaḥ bhavanti taistē bhrātr̥tvāt nāvajñēyāḥ kintu tē karmmaphalabhōginō viśvāsinaḥ priyāśca bhavantīti hētōḥ sēvanīyā ēva, tvam ētāni śikṣaya samupadiśa ca|
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,
yaḥ kaścid itaraśikṣāṁ karōti, asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya hitavākyānīśvarabhaktē ryōgyāṁ śikṣāñca na svīkarōti
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,
sa darpadhmātaḥ sarvvathā jñānahīnaśca vivādai rvāgyuddhaiśca rōgayuktaśca bhavati|
5 constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.
tādr̥śād bhāvād īrṣyāvirōdhāpavādaduṣṭāsūyā bhraṣṭamanasāṁ satyajñānahīnānām īśvarabhaktiṁ lābhōpāyam iva manyamānānāṁ lōkānāṁ vivādāśca jāyantē tādr̥śēbhyō lōkēbhyastvaṁ pr̥thak tiṣṭha|
6 But piety with contentment is great gain.
saṁyatēcchayā yuktā yēśvarabhaktiḥ sā mahālābhōpāyō bhavatīti satyaṁ|
7 For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.
ētajjagatpravēśanakālē'smābhiḥ kimapi nānāyi tattayajanakālē'pi kimapi nētuṁ na śakṣyata iti niścitaṁ|
8 But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.
ataēva khādyānyācchādanāni ca prāpyāsmābhiḥ santuṣṭai rbhavitavyaṁ|
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.
yē tu dhaninō bhavituṁ cēṣṭantē tē parīkṣāyām unmāthē patanti yē cābhilāṣā mānavān vināśē narakē ca majjayanti tādr̥śēṣvajñānāhitābhilāṣēṣvapi patanti|
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.
yatō'rthaspr̥hā sarvvēṣāṁ duritānāṁ mūlaṁ bhavati tāmavalambya kēcid viśvāsād abhraṁśanta nānāklēśaiśca svān avidhyan|
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.
hē īśvarasya lōka tvam ētēbhyaḥ palāyya dharmma īśvarabhakti rviśvāsaḥ prēma sahiṣṇutā kṣāntiścaitānyācara|
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 )
viśvāsarūpam uttamayuddhaṁ kuru, anantajīvanam ālambasva yatastadarthaṁ tvam āhūtō 'bhavaḥ, bahusākṣiṇāṁ samakṣañcōttamāṁ pratijñāṁ svīkr̥tavān| (aiōnios )
13 I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,
aparaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ jīvayiturīśvarasya sākṣād yaśca khrīṣṭō yīśuḥ pantīyapīlātasya samakṣam uttamāṁ pratijñāṁ svīkr̥tavān tasya sākṣād ahaṁ tvām idam ājñāpayāmi|
14 that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
īśvarēṇa svasamayē prakāśitavyam asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanaṁ yāvat tvayā niṣkalaṅkatvēna nirddōṣatvēna ca vidhī rakṣyatāṁ|
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;
sa īśvaraḥ saccidānandaḥ, advitīyasamrāṭ, rājñāṁ rājā, prabhūnāṁ prabhuḥ,
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 )
amaratāyā advitīya ākaraḥ, agamyatējōnivāsī, marttyānāṁ kēnāpi na dr̥ṣṭaḥ kēnāpi na dr̥śyaśca| tasya gauravaparākramau sadātanau bhūyāstāṁ| āmēn| (aiōnios )
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 )
ihalōkē yē dhaninastē cittasamunnatiṁ capalē dhanē viśvāsañca na kurvvatāṁ kintu bhōgārtham asmabhyaṁ pracuratvēna sarvvadātā (aiōn )
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],
yō'mara īśvarastasmin viśvasantu sadācāraṁ kurvvantu satkarmmadhanēna dhaninō sukalā dātāraśca bhavantu,
19 laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of [what is] really life.
yathā ca satyaṁ jīvanaṁ pāpnuyustathā pāratrikām uttamasampadaṁ sañcinvantvēti tvayādiśyantāṁ|
20 O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge,
hē tīmathiya, tvam upanidhiṁ gōpaya kālpanikavidyāyā apavitraṁ pralāpaṁ virōdhōktiñca tyaja ca,
21 of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace [be] with thee.
yataḥ katipayā lōkāstāṁ vidyāmavalambya viśvāsād bhraṣṭā abhavana| prasādastava sahāyō bhūyāt| āmēn|
