1 Timothy 6
1 LET as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
Bato nyonso oyo bazali bawumbu basengeli kotala bankolo na bango lokola bato oyo babongi na limemia makasi, mpo ete Kombo ya Nzambe mpe malakisi na biso efingama te.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Bawumbu oyo bankolo na bango bazali bandimi basengeli te kozanga kotosa bankolo na bango, atako bazali bandeko mpe balingami na bango kati na Klisto; nzokande, basengeli kutu kosalela bankolo na bango malamu koleka, pamba te bankolo, oyo bazali kozwa bolamu kowuta na mosala ya bawumbu, bazali motuya epai na bango bawumbu lokola bandeko balingami. Yango nde malakisi oyo osengeli kopesa mpe kosenga na bato ete batosa yango.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Soki moto apesi malakisi mosusu mpe aboyi kokangama na maloba ya solo ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, elongo na malakisi oyo ekoki na botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
azali moto na lolendo, ayebi eloko te, azali kobela bokono ya kotia tembe mpe ya koswana na tina na maloba oyo ebotaka zuwa, koswana, kofingana, kokaniselana mabe
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
mpe tembe oyo esilaka te kati na bato oyo mayele na bango ebeba, oyo bayebaka lisusu solo te mpe bakanisaka ete kozala sembo epai na Nzambe ezali nzela ya kozwa bomengo.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Solo, kozala sembo epai na Nzambe ezali nzela monene ya kozwa bomengo soki kaka oyebi kosepela na oyo ozali na yango.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Pamba te, toyaki maboko pamba kati na mokili, mpe tokozonga maboko pamba.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Mpe lokola tokozalaka na bilei mpe na bilamba, tokosepelaka na yango.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Bato oyo balingaka kokoma na bomengo bakweyaka kati na komekama mpe bakangamaka na mitambo ya baposa mingi ya bozoba mpe ya mabe, oyo ememaka bango na libebi mpe na kufa.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Pamba te lokoso ya mbongo ezali mosisa ya mabe nyonso. Mpo na lokoso ya mbongo, bato mingi babungisaki kondima na bango mpe bamipesaki minyoko ebele.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Kasi yo, moto na Nzambe, kima makambo nyonso wana; luka nde bosembo, botosi kati na makambo ya Nzambe, kondima, bolingo, molende mpe boboto.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Bunda etumba ya malamu ya kondima, zwa bomoi ya seko, pamba te Nzambe abengaki yo mpo oyeba yango tango otatolaki malamu kondima na yo liboso ya batatoli ebele. (aiōnios g166)
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
Tala makambo oyo nazali kotinda yo, liboso ya Nzambe oyo apesaka bomoi epai na bikelamu nyonso, mpe liboso ya Yesu-Klisto oyo atatolaki malamu bosolo liboso ya Ponse Pilato:
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Batela mobeko oyo, kokakola yango ata moke te, mpe sala ete bamona yo na pamela ata moko te, kino Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, akoya
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
na tango oyo ekatama na Ye oyo azali Nkolo-Na-Esengo, Nkolo se moko na nguya nyonso, Mokonzi ya bakonzi, Nkolo ya bankolo,
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Ye oyo azali se moko oyo akufaka te, avandaka kati na pole oyo moto ata moko te akoki kopusana pene na yango, Ye oyo moto ata moko te atikala komona, mpe oyo moto moko te akoki komona. Tika ete lokumu mpe nguya ezala ya Ye mpo na libela! Amen! (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Pesa mitindo epai ya bazwi kati na mokili oyo ete bazala na lolendo te mpe batia elikya te na bomengo, pamba te bomengo ekoki kosila; kasi tika ete batia elikya na bango kati na Nzambe oyo apesaka biso biloko nyonso, na bofuluki, mpo ete tosepela na yango. (aiōn g165)
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Pesa bango mitindo ete basalaka bolamu, batonda na misala malamu, bazala na motema ya kokaba mpe bakabelaka bato.
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Ezali na nzela wana nde bakomibombela bomengo lokola moboko ya makasi mpo na mikolo oyo ezali koya, mpo ete bakoka kozwa bomoi ya solo.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Timote, batela malamu nyonso oyo Nzambe apesa yo. Kima bilobaloba ya bato oyo bafingaka Nzambe, mpe makanisi ya oyo babengaka « Boyebi » na kozanga koyeba, pamba te etongaka kondima te.
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana. THE
Bato mingi babungisaki kondima na bango mpo ete bakangamaki na boyebi yango. Tika ete ngolu ezala elongo na bino nyonso!
