< 1 Timothy 6 >
1 Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
Wamanda woseri wafiruwa kuwagoya watuwa wawu, su nakuwera na toziya ya wantu kulihigilanga litawu lya Mlungu na kubeziya mafunda getu.
2 But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Wamanda weni watuwa wawu ndo wantu yawamjimira Yesu nawawabeziya toziya wawaholera womberi ndo walongu wayawu. Pambeli pakuwi, wafiruwa kuwatendera viherepa nentu, Kumbiti wafiruwa kuwatendera weri nentu, toziya awa wawapata ulunda kulinginirana na lihengu lyawu ndo wajimira weni wawafira. Gufiruwa kufunda na kubwera vitwatira avi.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
Handa muntu yoseri yakafunda mafundu gamonga, nayomberi kajimira ndiri visoweru vya nakaka vya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu na mafundu mumakaliru ga kumfiriziya Mlungu,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
yomberi kamema malingisi na wala kashimana ndiri shintu. Yomberi ndo yakafira likakatala na ndewu kwa visoweru vyahera na haga gajega weya na ndewu na umatu na mayigilangu na kupayirana,
5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
na likakatala lyangali kuwera na upereru wa wantu weni mahala gawu gaperiti, weni wahera kayi unakaka. Ndo walii yawalihola handa kutenda lihengu lya Mlungu ndo njira ya kulipatira ulunda.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Kutenda ntambu yakafira Mlungu pamuhera na kutosheka kwana mota nkulu.
7 For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
Toziya tujega ndiri shintu mupasipanu wala tuweza ndiri kuwuya na shintu.
8 But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
Kumbiti handa patuwera nashi shiboga na nguwu, tufiruwa tutosheki navi.
9 For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
Kumbiti walii yawafira kuwera walunda waguwira mumajera na mgomiziwu, na mumatamata ya uzigizigi yaujega kutenduwa guwakwega mukuguwa na uharabisiya.
10 For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
Toziya kufira mpiya nentu ndo shanziru sha ukondola woseri. Wantu wamonga wafiriti nentu kupata mpiya ata wayerayera kutali na njimiru, na wayitenduziya myoyu yawu kwa hinginika nkulu.
11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
Kumbiti gwenga muntu gwa Mlungu, gulikali kutali na vitwatira avi vya ukondola. Gutendi galii yagakutenda gujimiriki kwa Mlungu na gakumfiriziya Mlungu na ujimira na ufiru na uhepelera na unanaga.
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios )
Gutendi ngangamalu kugakanka majeru muujimira gwakalipananiri lifupu lya ukomu wa mashaka goseri lyagushemilitwi shipindi pagujimiriti njimiru yaku palongolu pa wakapitawu wavuwa. (aiōnios )
13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
Nukulagalira kulongolu kwa Mlungu yakavipananiti ukomu vintu vyoseri, na kulongolu kwa Kristu Yesu yakalaviyiti ukapitawu wa unakaka kulongolu kwa Pontiu Pilatu,
14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
nukulagalira gugakoli malagaliru aga pota likosa na kugajimira kwa kwaminika mpaka lishaka Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu pakalawira.
15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Kulawira kwakuwi hakutendeki shipindi shashifaa shitulitwi na Mlungu mpetelwa na yakawera mkolamlima gwa gweka, Mfalumi gwa wafalumi na Mtuwa gwa watuwa.
16 Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios )
Yomberi gweka yakuwi kalikala mashaka goseri muulangala gweni kwahera muntu yakaweza kugusegelera. Kwahera muntu yakamwoniti ama kwahera muntu yakaweziti kumwona. Kwa yomberi liweri ligoya na makakala gamashaka goseri! Yina haa. (aiōnios )
17 Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy, ) (aiōn )
Guwalagaliri wantu yawawera walunda muvitwatira vya makaliru ga vinu, nawalibinda ntumbiru lyawu muulunda ya vintu vyakulitumbira ndiri. Kumbiti wamtumbiliri Mlungu yakatupanana vintu vyoseri kwa uvuwa toziya tunemelerwi navi. (aiōn )
18 To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
Guwalagaliri watendi maheri, waweri watenda mafiliru gaherepa gavuwa, naweri wakalamuka na waweri kala kukolerana na wamonga ulunda wawu.
19 To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
Kwa kutenda hangu hakuwatangi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri handa vilii muntu hakalijojiniliri vintu vivuwa havimtangi shipindi shashisoka.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
Timotewu, gushikoleri weri shirii shagupananitwi. Gulishapiri matakuziyanu ga madoda na ukakatala wa shizyigizyigi wa shirii shawashema wantu wamonga “Umana,” Kumbiti umana ndiri.
21 Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
Toziya wamonga wajimira wawera na umana wa mpayu, kulawirana kwakuwi wahagamiziya njimiru. Nuwafilireni mwawoseri maheri ga Mlungu. Maheri ga Mlungu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
