1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many seruaunts as are vnder the yoke, count their masters worthie of all honour, that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not euill spoken of.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ asomfo no nyinaa de nidi ma wɔn wuranom sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn mu bi nkasa ntia Onyankopɔn ne yɛn nkyerɛkyerɛ.
2 And they which haue beleeuing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren, but rather doe seruice, because they are faithfull, and beloued, and partakers of the benefite. These things teach and exhort.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ asomfo bu wɔn wuranom a wɔyɛ agyidifo no abomfiaa sɛ wɔyɛ anuanom nti. Mmom ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom wɔn yiye, efisɛ wɔn som no so wɔ mfaso ma agyidifo ne adɔfo bebree.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consenteth not to the wholesome wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ, and to the doctrine, which is according to godlinesse,
Ɛsɛ sɛ mokyerɛkyerɛ na moka eyinom nyinaa. Obiara a ɔbɛma nkyerɛkyerɛ foforo na ɔnka nokware a ɛfa yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo ne yɛn nyamesom ho no
4 He is puft vp and knoweth nothing, but doteth about questions and strife of words, whereof commeth enuie, strife, railings, euill surmisings,
yɛ ɔhantanni a onnim hwee. Ɔyɛ obi a ofi adwemmɔne mu gye akyinnye na ɔka nsɛm a ɛde anibere, akasakasa, kasafi, nnipa ho adwemmɔne
5 Frowarde disputations of men of corrupt mindes and destitute of ye trueth, which thinke that gaine is godlines: from such separate thy selfe.
ne mansotwe a efi adwene a emu nnɔ na nokware nni mu mu ba. Wodwen sɛ nyamesom yɛ ɔkwan bi a wɔfa so pɛ sika.
6 But godlinesse is great gaine, if a man be content with that he hath.
Onyamesom pa a abodwo wɔ mu yɛ adenya kɛse.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certaine, that we can carie nothing out.
Yɛamfa hwee amma wiase. Saa ara nso na yɛremfa hwee nkɔ.
8 Therefore when wee haue foode and raiment, let vs therewith be content.
Ɛno nti sɛ yɛwɔ aduan ne ntama a, ɛno nko dɔɔso ma yɛn.
9 For they that will be rich, fall into tentation and snares, and into many foolish and noysome lustes, which drowne men in perdition and destruction.
Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wonya wɔn ho no kɔtɔ sɔhwɛ mu na ɛdan ɔhaw ma wɔn ma ɛtwe wɔn kɔ ɔsɛe mu.
10 For the desire of money is the roote of all euill, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and pearced themselues through with many sorowes.
Na sikanibere yɛ bɔne nyinaa ntin. Nnipa bi de sikanibere asi wɔn ani so denneennen nam so ama wɔapa wɔn gyidi ama awerɛhow ahyɛ wɔn koma ma.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousnesse, godlines, faith, loue, patience, and meekenes.
Enti wo a woyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no, twe wo ho fi eyinom nyinaa ho. Di trenee, Onyamesom pa, gyidi, ɔdɔ, boasetɔ ne odwo akyi.
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay holde of eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bɔ gyidi mu mmirikatu no ho mmɔden na pere nya nkwa a enni awiei no ma wo ho, efisɛ saa abrabɔ yi nti na bere a wodaa wo gyidi adi wɔ nnansefo bebree anim no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ wo. (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all thinges, and before Iesus Christ, which vnder Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession,
Meka no Onyankopɔn a ɔma nneɛma nyinaa nkwa no ne Kristo Yesu a ɔkaa nokware wɔ Pontio Pilato anim no hyɛ wo sɛ,
14 That thou keepe this commandement without spot, and vnrebukeable, vntill the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ,
tie mmara a mahyɛ ama wo no na di so pɛpɛɛpɛ kosi da a Yesu Kristo bɛba.
15 Which in due time hee shall shewe, that is blessed and Prince onely, the King of Kings and Lord of Lordes,
Onyankopɔn a wɔahyira no na ne nkutoo di Hene, Ahene mu Hene ne Awura mu Awurade no bɛma no aba bere a ɛsɛ mu.
16 Who onely hath immortalitie, and dwelleth in the light that none can attaine vnto, whom neuer man sawe, neither can see, vnto whome bee honour and power euerlasting, Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Ɔno nko na ɔwɔ hɔ daa, na ɔte hann a obi ntumi mmɛn ho mu. Obiara nhuu no da na obiara nso rentumi nhu no da. Ɔno na nidi ne tumi a enni awiei wɔ no. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, and that they trust not in vncertaine riches, but in the liuing God, (which giueth vs aboundantly, all things to enioy) (aiōn g165)
Bɔ wiase yi mu ahonyafo kɔkɔ se wɔmmfa wɔn ahonya nhoahoa wɔn ho, na wɔmmfa wɔn anidaso nso nhyɛ adehunu te sɛ ahonya mu, na mmom wɔmfa wɔn ho nto Onyankopɔn a ɔnam nʼadɔe so maa yɛn asetena mu nneɛma pa nyinaa no so. (aiōn g165)
18 That they doe good, and be riche in good woorkes, and readie to distribute, and comunicate,
Hyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ papa na wɔnyɛ adefo wɔ nnwuma payɛ mu. Wɔnyɛ ayamye na wɔne afoforo nkyɛ nea wɔwɔ.
19 Laying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obteine eternall life.
Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛto fapem pa ama wɔn daakye. Na wɔnam so anya asetena pa.
20 O Timotheus, keepe that which is committed vnto thee, and auoide prophane and vaine babblings, and oppositios of science falsely so called,
Timoteo, hwɛ nea wɔde ahyɛ wo nsa no so yiye. Twe wo ho fi ahuhusɛm ne akyinnyehunu a wɔnam atoro so frɛ no “Nimdeɛ” no ho.
21 Which while some professe, they haue erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee, Amen. ‘The first Epistle to Timotheus, written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest citie of Phrygia Pacaciana.’
Nnipa bi gye to mu sɛ wɔwɔ saa nimdeɛ no nam so ahwere gyidi kwan no. Onyankopɔn adom nka mo.
