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.
Vese vari varanda pasi pejoko, ngavaverenge vatenzi vavo sevanofanirwa nerukudzo rwese, kuti zita raMwari nedzidziso zvirege kunyombwa.
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.
Nevane vatenzi vanotenda ngavarege kuvazvidza, zvadziri hama, asi zvikuru ngavavashandire, nokuti vakatendeka uye vanodikanwa vagovani vemubairo. Dzidzisa zvinhu izvi ukurudzire.
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,
Kana munhu achidzidzisa zvakasiyana nezvizvi, uye asingabvumiri mashoko awa mapenyu, aIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, nekudzidziso inoenderana nekunamata Mwari,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
anongozvikudza, asingazivi chinhu, asi anongokarira mibvunzo nenharo dzemashoko, panobva godo, gakava, kutuka, kufungidzira kwakaipa,
5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
kukakavadzana kwevanhu vane murangariro wakaodzwa, vakarasikirwa nechokwadi, vachiti kunamata Mwari ndizvo zvinofumisa. Zviparadzanise nevakadaro.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Asi kunamata Mwari nekugutsikana ndizvo zvinofumisa kwazvo;
7 For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
nokuti hatina kuuya nechinhu panyika, zviri pachena kuti hatigoni kubuda nechinhu;
8 But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
asi kana tine kudya nezvekupfeka tichagutsikana neizvozvi.
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.
Asi vanoshuva kufuma vanowira mumuedzo nemumusungo, nemukuchiva kweupenzi kuzhinji kunokuvadza, zvinonyudza vanhu mukuparadzwa nekuputswa;
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.
nokuti kuda mari ndiwo mudzi wezvakaipa zvese; uyo vamwe vakati vachishuva vakatsauswa parutendo, vakazvibaya neshungu zhinji.
11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
Asi iwe, haiwa munhu waMwari, tiza zvinhu izvi; utevere kururama, kunamata Mwari, rutendo, rudo, moyo murefu, neunyoro.
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 g166)
Irwa kurwa kwakanaka kwerutendo, batisisa upenyu husingaperi, hwawakadanirwawo kwahuri, ukabvumawo kubvuma kwakanaka pamberi pezvapupu zvizhinji. (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
Ndinokuraira pamberi paMwari, anoraramisa zvinhu zvese, naKristu Jesu, wakapupura kupupura kwakanaka pamberi paPondiyo Pirato,
14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
kuti uchengete murairo usina gwapa, usina chaungapomerwa, kusvikira pakuonekwa kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
kwaacharatidza panguva dzake, iye Wakaropafadzwa neWemasimbaose ega, Mambo wemadzimambo naIshe wemadzishe,
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 g166)
iye ega ane kusafa, agere pachiedza chisingasvikiki, hakuna umwe wevanhu wakambomuona, kana kugona kuona; kukudzwa nesimba risingaperi zviri kwaari. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
Raira vakafuma panyika ino, kuti varege kuzvikudza, kana kuvimba nefuma isingavimbiki, asi muna Mwari mupenyu, anotipa zvinhu zvese achiwanza kuti tifare; (aiōn g165)
18 To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
vaite zvakanaka, kuti vave vafumi pamabasa akanaka, vagadzirire kupa, nekugovana;
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.
vazvirongedzere nheyo yakanaka yenguva inouya, kuti vabatisise upenyu husingaperi.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
Haiwa, Timotio, chengetedza icho chawakabatiswa, ufuratire kutaura kusina maturo nekupikisa kwezvinonzi ruzivo zviri zvenhema;
21 Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
irwo vamwe vakati vachibvuma vakarasika maererano nerutendo. Nyasha ngadzive newe. Ameni.
