< 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.
Wamanda woseri wafiruwa kuwagoya watuwa wawu, su nakuwera na toziya ya wantu kulihigilanga litawu lya Mlungu na kubeziya mafunda getu.
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.
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 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,
Handa muntu yoseri yakafunda mafundu gamonga, nayomberi kajimira ndiri visoweru vya nakaka vya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu na mafundu mumakaliru ga kumfiriziya Mlungu,
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—
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 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 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 knowing and following God is so incredibly satisfying!
Kutenda ntambu yakafira Mlungu pamuhera na kutosheka kwana mota nkulu.
7 For we didn't bring anything into the world, and we can't take anything out with us either.
Toziya tujega ndiri shintu mupasipanu wala tuweza ndiri kuwuya na shintu.
8 But if we have food and clothes then that's enough for us.
Kumbiti handa patuwera nashi shiboga na nguwu, tufiruwa tutosheki navi.
9 Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
Kumbiti walii yawafira kuwera walunda waguwira mumajera na mgomiziwu, na mumatamata ya uzigizigi yaujega kutenduwa guwakwega mukuguwa na uharabisiya.
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.
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 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.
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 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)
Gutendi ngangamalu kugakanka majeru muujimira gwakalipananiri lifupu lya ukomu wa mashaka goseri lyagushemilitwi shipindi pagujimiriti njimiru yaku palongolu pa wakapitawu wavuwa. (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,
Nukulagalira kulongolu kwa Mlungu yakavipananiti ukomu vintu vyoseri, na kulongolu kwa Kristu Yesu yakalaviyiti ukapitawu wa unakaka kulongolu kwa Pontiu Pilatu,
14 is to follow faithfully what you've been told so you will be above criticism until our Lord Jesus Christ appears.
nukulagalira gugakoli malagaliru aga pota likosa na kugajimira kwa kwaminika mpaka lishaka Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu pakalawira.
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.
Kulawira kwakuwi hakutendeki shipindi shashifaa shitulitwi na Mlungu mpetelwa na yakawera mkolamlima gwa gweka, Mfalumi gwa wafalumi na Mtuwa gwa watuwa.
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)
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 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)
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 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.
Guwalagaliri watendi maheri, waweri watenda mafiliru gaherepa gavuwa, naweri wakalamuka na waweri kala kukolerana na wamonga ulunda wawu.
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.
Kwa kutenda hangu hakuwatangi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri handa vilii muntu hakalijojiniliri vintu vivuwa havimtangi shipindi shashisoka.
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.”
Timotewu, gushikoleri weri shirii shagupananitwi. Gulishapiri matakuziyanu ga madoda na ukakatala wa shizyigizyigi wa shirii shawashema wantu wamonga “Umana,” Kumbiti umana ndiri.
21 Some who promote these ideas have wandered away from their trust in God. May grace be with you.
Toziya wamonga wajimira wawera na umana wa mpayu, kulawirana kwakuwi wahagamiziya njimiru. Nuwafilireni mwawoseri maheri ga Mlungu. Maheri ga Mlungu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
