1 Timothy 6
1 All who are bound under slavery should consider their masters worthy of respect, so that God's name and Christian beliefs won't be defamed.
Bhona bhanu bhali emwalo ya ingurwema lwa abhagaya bhalole abhakulu bhwebhwe kwe echibhalo, bhakolege kutyo koleleki lisina lya Nyamuanga na ameigisho gasiga okufumwa.
2 Slaves who have Christian masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead they should serve them even better, because those who are benefiting from their service are fellow-believers they should love. Teach these instructions, and encourage people to follow them.
Abhagaya bhanu bhali na abhakulu bhebhwe bhali bhekilisha bhasiga okubhagaya kunsonga ati ni bhaili bhebhwe. Tali bhabhakolele emilimu muno. Kulwokubha bhanu abhakolelwa emilimu ni bhekilisha na bhana elyenda. Nuwiigishe no okulasha emisango jinu
3 Those that teach different beliefs, and don't listen to good counsel, particularly the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the true teachings of God,
Akabha alio omunu undi neigisha kwo okuyabhisha na atakwikilishanya na obhutangasha bhwe echimali, bhunu bhusokele ku Yesu Kristo, na labha kalema eliigisho linu elitangasha okuja kwilamya.
4 are arrogant and don't understand anything. They're obsessed with speculation and philosophical debates which only lead to jealousy, arguments, malicious gossip and evil suspicions—
Mbe omunu oyo kekuyala atakumenya chonachona. Kemela okusamba no okuyakana ne emisango. Emisango ejo ejibhula olwiso, obhuyombo, amafumi, okwigata ne ebhibhibhi,
5 the constant arguing of people whose minds are totally corrupt and who have lost the truth, thinking that they can profit financially from religion…
na obhusambagani bhwa bhuli mwanya agati ya abhanu abho bhanyamukile obhwenge. Abhasiga echimali, Abhatoga ati okulamya ni njila yokubhona ebhinu.
6 But knowing and following God is so incredibly satisfying!
Mbe intungwa yokulamya no okwiyungwa kuli na ifaida nene.
7 For we didn't bring anything into the world, and we can't take anything out with us either.
Kunsonga chitejile na chona chona kuchalo. Nolwo chitakutula kugega chona chona okusoka kuchalo.
8 But if we have food and clothes then that's enough for us.
Kulwejo, chiyungwe ne ebhilyo na jingubho jinu chili najo.
9 Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
Mbe bhanu bhalibhaga ne ebhinu bhaligwa mumasakwa, na mumutego. Abhagwa mubhufila bhwafu na inamba mbibhi, na muchinu chona chona chinu echikola abhanu bhawelelele mu kusingalika no okunyamuka.
10 For the desire to be rich leads to many kinds of evil results. Some of those who longed for this have turned away from the truth, and have hurt themselves, experiencing a lot of pain.
Kulwokubha okwenda jimpilya ni bhwambilo bhwo okwenda jimbaga jona eja amabhibhi. Abhanu bhanu abhanambalila ago, bhali kumbali ne elikilisha na abheyocha abhene kwo obhusulumbaye bhwafu.
11 But you as a man of God should run away from such things. You should seek to do what is right, practice true religion, and trust in God. Aim to love, to be patient, and gentle.
Nawe awe omunu wa Nyamuanga, nubhe kula na amagambo ago. Nulubhe obhulengelesi, lilamya, elikilisha, elyenda, okwikomesha no obhufula.
12 Fight the good fight as you trust in God. Hold on tightly to the eternal life to which you were called. This is what you promised to do in front of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Nulwane obhulemo bhwekisi kulikilisha. Nugwatilile obhulame bhwa akajanende bhunu ubhilikiliwe. Kulwa injuno inu wasosishe ubhubhambasi imbele ya abhanu bhafu kulwe echinu chakisi. (aiōnios g166)
13 My charge to you before God the Life-giver, and before Christ Jesus who testified to the good news before Pontius Pilate,
Nakuyana echilagilo chinu imbele ya Nyamuanga, oyo kangalila ebhinu bhibhone okulama, na imbele ya Yesu Kristo, unu abhwiliye echimali echo Pontio Pilato:
14 is to follow faithfully what you've been told so you will be above criticism until our Lord Jesus Christ appears.
Gwatilila echilagilo ukomee, obhutabha na amashaka, okukingila okusubha kwo Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo.
15 At the right time Jesus will be revealed—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
Nyamuanga alitula abhwelu okuja kwaye ku katungu kekisi, Nyamuanga owalibhando, amanaga genyele, Omukama unu kakama, na Lata bhugenyi unu katangasha.
16 He is the only one who is immortal, and lives in unapproachable light. No one has seen him or can see him—honor and eternal power is his! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Omwene enyele kalama akajanende, ekaye mubhwelu bhunu bhutakulebhelelwa. Ataliwo omunu unu katula okumulola nolwo okumuta muliso. Kumwene chiliwo echibhalo no obhutulo bwa akajanende. Amina. (aiōnios g166)
17 Warn those who are rich in the present world not to become proud. Tell them not to place their trust in wealth that is so insecure but in God who so freely gives us everything for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
Nubhwile abhanibhi bhanu bhali muchalo chinu olyanu bhasiga okwikuya nolwo okutula obhwiikanyo bhwebhwe mubhunibhi, bhunu bhutali na bhusimbagililo, tali bhatule obhwiikanyo bhwebhwe ku Nyamuanga, unu kachiyana bhuli chinu echokuchikondelesha. (aiōn g165)
18 Tell them to do good, and to become rich in doing good things, ready to share what they have, and to be generous.
Nubhalagilile okukola ebhyekisi, bhanibhe okusoka kubhikolwa bhyekisi, bhabhe no obhwila no okutambula abhandi.
19 In this way they store up treasure that will provide a solid basis for the future, so that they can take hold of true life.
Munjila eyo abhebhikila ebhinu lwo omusingi mkomeye ku nsiku jinu ejija imbele, koleleki bhagwatilile obhulame bhwe echimali.
20 Timothy, take care of what's been given to you. Don't pay any attention to pointless chatter and arguments based on so-called “knowledge.”
Timoteo, nuchilinde chinu uyabhilwe. Ikenga no obhulomelesi bhwe echifila no obhuyakani bhwa jimamba jinu ejitogwa obhumenyi kwo olubheyi.
21 Some who promote these ideas have wandered away from their trust in God. May grace be with you.
Abhanu abhandi abhalibhasha amagambo ganu, na bhabhulilwe elikilisha. Echigongo chibhe amwi nawe.
