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.
Basha bonse bape bulemu bunene abo mbobalasebenselenga kwambeti, kapataba muntu eshasebanye Lina lya Lesa ne ciyisho cetu.
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.
Mobasha, na mbomulasebenselenga ni banse benu muliklistu kamutabanyanshanga cebo ca kwambeti nibaklistu banenu sobwe, amwe basebenseleni cena, pakwinga bakute kucanamo cena mu ncito shabo ni baklistu, kayi embobasuni. Kopitilisha kubeyisha malailile awa ngondakupa kwambeti bakonkelenga.
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;
Muntu leyishinga bintu byapusana ne ibi, lakananga kusuminisha maswi ancinencine a Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, ne ciyisho cekatana ne buyumi bulalemekeshenga Lesa,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
ulico ni muntu shikulisumpula utacishi ciliconse, shikutotekowa. Ici cikute kuletowa munyono, ne kutotekeshanya, ne kutukashana, kayi ne kuyeyelana byaipa.
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
Ici cikute kuletowa kulondola pa bantu bakute miyeyo yaipa batakonsho kwishiba ca ncinencine. Balo bakute kuyeyeti kupaila Lesa ni nshila ya kucaninamo bubile.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Ee, nicakubinga kupaila Lesa kukute kupa muntu kuba wakwana ne bintu mbyakute.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Sena pali cintu ncotwalaletelela pacinshi? Paliya! Sena pali cintu nceti tukamantilile pakufumapo? Paliya!
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Neco, na katukuteko cakulya, byakufwala ne pakona byopelebyo byakwana.
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.
Nomba bantu bakute kuyandishisha bubile bakute kuwila mumasunko angi, ne kwikatwa mu tose twabuluya tweshikononga twalunkumbwa lwa mubili lukute kubatwala kulufu.
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.
Pakwinga kusunisha mali emuyanda wa bintu bingi byaipa. Nabambi bantu pakusunisha mali balataya lushomo ne kuliletela mapensho pa mibili yabo.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Nomba obe muntu wa Lesa, kotamantamo lubasu mu bintu byaipa. Obe lwila bululami, kulemeka Lesa, lushomo, lusuno, kutalekela pakati, ne kuba wabomba moyo.
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)
Kolwana nkondo yaina ya lushomo, kwambeti ukatambule buyumi butapu, pakwinga ekubuyumi ubu nkwalakukuwila Lesa pasa mpowalikwambilila sha lushomo lwakobe pa menso abantu bangi. (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;
Pamenso pali Lesa ukute kupa buyumi bintu byonse, kayi ne pamenso pa Klistu Yesu uyo walapa bukamboni bwakendi pantangalala kuli Ponsho Pilato, ndakwambileti,
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
konkela byonse mbyowalambilwa kwinsa mwakubula kutonshanya mpaka pabusuba mbweshakabwele Mwami Yesu Klistu.
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Lesa ngobakute kulumbaisha bantu bonse, Mwendeleshi wancinencine, wa bendeleshi, Mwami wa bami bonse, endiyeti akapesheti Klistu akabwele kayi pa cindi celela.
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)
Lesa enkowa eutafu, ewekala mu mumuni utashikwa pepi, paliya muntu walamubonapo, kayi paliya wela kumubona. Lesa apewe bulemu, kayi shakendi ningofu shitapu kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (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)
Bacenjesheko bantu babile mucishi kwambeti, kabatatwanga nambi kucinka manungo mububile bwela kutaika cindi ciliconse, nsombi kabashoma Lesa ukute kutupa bintu byonse mwakutandabula cikasa kwambeti afwe tukondwe nebuyumi. (aiōn g165)
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Bambile kwambeti benshilenga byaina bantu, babe babile mu micito yaina, beshikupako banabo camoyo umo bintu mbyobakute.
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Uko ekubunganya bubile bwabo kwambeti bube pebakwa buyumi bwabo bwakuntangu mbweti bakalicanine, ee buyumi bwa ncinencine nditu.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Obe Timoti, kobamba cena bintu mbyolapewa mu makasa akobe. Talamuka ku mibandi ne kutotekeshanya kwabuluya kutalete bulemu kuli Lesa uko bantu nkobakute kuboneti, “Emano.”
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
Nabambi balataya lushomo cebo cakulibonesheti bakute mano amushoboyu. Nkumbo sha Lesa shibe nenjamwe.
