< 1 Timothy 6 >
1 As many as are servants under a yoke, let them reckon their own masters worthy of all honor, that evil may not be spoken of the Name of God and the teaching;
yāvantō lōkā yugadhāriṇō dāsāḥ santi tē svasvasvāminaṁ pūrṇasamādarayōgyaṁ manyantāṁ nō cēd īśvarasya nāmna upadēśasya ca nindā sambhaviṣyati|
2 and those having believing masters, do not let them slight [them], because they are brothers, but rather let them serve, because they are steadfast and beloved, who are partaking of the benefit. Be teaching and exhorting these things;
yēṣāñca svāminō viśvāsinaḥ bhavanti taistē bhrātr̥tvāt nāvajñēyāḥ kintu tē karmmaphalabhōginō viśvāsinaḥ priyāśca bhavantīti hētōḥ sēvanīyā ēva, tvam ētāni śikṣaya samupadiśa ca|
3 if anyone be teaching otherwise, and does not consent to sound words—those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and to the teaching according to piety,
yaḥ kaścid itaraśikṣāṁ karōti, asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya hitavākyānīśvarabhaktē ryōgyāṁ śikṣāñca na svīkarōti
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but unhealthy about questions and word-striving, out of which come envy, strife, slanders, evil-surmisings,
sa darpadhmātaḥ sarvvathā jñānahīnaśca vivādai rvāgyuddhaiśca rōgayuktaśca bhavati|
5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
tādr̥śād bhāvād īrṣyāvirōdhāpavādaduṣṭāsūyā bhraṣṭamanasāṁ satyajñānahīnānām īśvarabhaktiṁ lābhōpāyam iva manyamānānāṁ lōkānāṁ vivādāśca jāyantē tādr̥śēbhyō lōkēbhyastvaṁ pr̥thak tiṣṭha|
6 but it is great gain—the piety with contentment;
saṁyatēcchayā yuktā yēśvarabhaktiḥ sā mahālābhōpāyō bhavatīti satyaṁ|
7 for we brought nothing into the world—because neither are we able to carry out anything;
ētajjagatpravēśanakālē'smābhiḥ kimapi nānāyi tattayajanakālē'pi kimapi nētuṁ na śakṣyata iti niścitaṁ|
8 but having food and raiment—with these we will suffice ourselves;
ataēva khādyānyācchādanāni ca prāpyāsmābhiḥ santuṣṭai rbhavitavyaṁ|
9 and those intending to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,
yē tu dhaninō bhavituṁ cēṣṭantē tē parīkṣāyām unmāthē patanti yē cābhilāṣā mānavān vināśē narakē ca majjayanti tādr̥śēṣvajñānāhitābhilāṣēṣvapi patanti|
10 for the love of money is a root of all the evils, which certain [ones] longing for went astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows;
yatō'rthaspr̥hā sarvvēṣāṁ duritānāṁ mūlaṁ bhavati tāmavalambya kēcid viśvāsād abhraṁśanta nānāklēśaiśca svān avidhyan|
11 and you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
hē īśvarasya lōka tvam ētēbhyaḥ palāyya dharmma īśvarabhakti rviśvāsaḥ prēma sahiṣṇutā kṣāntiścaitānyācara|
12 Be striving the good strife of the faith; be laying hold on the continuous life to which you also were called, and did profess the right profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios )
viśvāsarūpam uttamayuddhaṁ kuru, anantajīvanam ālambasva yatastadarthaṁ tvam āhūtō 'bhavaḥ, bahusākṣiṇāṁ samakṣañcōttamāṁ pratijñāṁ svīkr̥tavān| (aiōnios )
13 I charge you, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the right profession before Pontius Pilate,
aparaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ jīvayiturīśvarasya sākṣād yaśca khrīṣṭō yīśuḥ pantīyapīlātasya samakṣam uttamāṁ pratijñāṁ svīkr̥tavān tasya sākṣād ahaṁ tvām idam ājñāpayāmi|
14 that you keep the command unspotted, unblameable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
īśvarēṇa svasamayē prakāśitavyam asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanaṁ yāvat tvayā niṣkalaṅkatvēna nirddōṣatvēna ca vidhī rakṣyatāṁ|
15 which He will show in His own times—the blessed and only sovereign, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
sa īśvaraḥ saccidānandaḥ, advitīyasamrāṭ, rājñāṁ rājā, prabhūnāṁ prabhuḥ,
16 having immortality alone, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one of men saw, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honor and perpetual might! Amen. (aiōnios )
amaratāyā advitīya ākaraḥ, agamyatējōnivāsī, marttyānāṁ kēnāpi na dr̥ṣṭaḥ kēnāpi na dr̥śyaśca| tasya gauravaparākramau sadātanau bhūyāstāṁ| āmēn| (aiōnios )
17 Charge those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment— (aiōn )
ihalōkē yē dhaninastē cittasamunnatiṁ capalē dhanē viśvāsañca na kurvvatāṁ kintu bhōgārtham asmabhyaṁ pracuratvēna sarvvadātā (aiōn )
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
yō'mara īśvarastasmin viśvasantu sadācāraṁ kurvvantu satkarmmadhanēna dhaninō sukalā dātāraśca bhavantu,
19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on [that which is] truly life.
yathā ca satyaṁ jīvanaṁ pāpnuyustathā pāratrikām uttamasampadaṁ sañcinvantvēti tvayādiśyantāṁ|
20 O Timotheus, guard the thing entrusted, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
hē tīmathiya, tvam upanidhiṁ gōpaya kālpanikavidyāyā apavitraṁ pralāpaṁ virōdhōktiñca tyaja ca,
21 which certain [ones] professing—swerved concerning the faith. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
yataḥ katipayā lōkāstāṁ vidyāmavalambya viśvāsād bhraṣṭā abhavana| prasādastava sahāyō bhūyāt| āmēn|
