1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
Nĩ kwagĩrĩire andũ arĩa ngombo, o acio maikaraga ta mekĩrĩtwo icooki rĩa ũkombo ngingo matuage atĩ aathani ao nĩ a kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo gĩothe, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na ũrutani witũ itikanacambio.
2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
Arĩa marĩ na aathani metĩkĩtie matikamaime gĩtĩĩo nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo atĩ nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wao. Handũ ha ũguo, nĩmamatungatagĩre wega makĩria, tondũ arĩa maragunĩka nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata wao nĩ andũ metĩkĩtie, na nĩ andũ mendetwo. Rutanaga maũndũ macio na ũmaringagĩrĩrie andũ.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩrutana ũrutani wa maheeni na akorwo ndetĩkanĩtie na ũrutani ũrĩa mwega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na ũrutani ũrĩa wa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai-rĩ,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
mũndũ ũcio nĩ mwĩtĩĩi na ndarĩ ũndũ oĩ. Ũcio endete o ngarari itarĩ kĩguni na njũgitano ikoniĩ ciugo iria irehaga ũiru, na ngũĩ, na mĩario mĩũru, na gwĩkũũa maũndũ mooru,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
na kũgiana gũtathiraga gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa marĩ meciiria mooru, arĩa mathirĩirwo nĩ ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma, na arĩa meciiragia atĩ ũhoro wa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai nĩ njĩra ya gũtũma mũndũ atonge.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
No rĩrĩ, kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai na kũiganwo nĩ kĩrĩa ũrĩ na kĩo, ũcio nĩ ũtonga mũnene.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ kĩndũ twarehire gũkũ thĩ, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ tũngĩhota kũruta kuo.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
No tũngĩgĩa na irio, na tũgĩe na nguo-rĩ, no tũiganwo nĩcio.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Andũ arĩa mendaga gũtonga-rĩ, nĩmagũũaga magerio-inĩ o na mũtego-inĩ wa merirĩria maingĩ ma ũrimũ ma kũmathũkia, marĩa mamagũithagia mwanangĩko-inĩ, makamaniina.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Tondũ kwenda mbeeca nĩkĩo kĩhumo kĩa mĩthemba yothe ya ũũru. Andũ amwe nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda mbeeca mũno-rĩ, nĩmatigĩte wĩtĩkio, na magetheeca ngoro na kĩeha kĩingĩ.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
No wee mũndũ wa Ngai-rĩ, ũrĩra maũndũ macio mothe, na ũthingatage ũthingu, na kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai, na wĩtĩkio, na wendani, na gũkirĩrĩria, na ũhooreri.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Rũaga mbaara ĩrĩa njega ya wĩtĩkio. Rũmia ũhoro wa muoyo wa tene na tene o ũrĩa wetĩirwo rĩrĩa woimbũrire wega wĩtĩkio waku mbere ya aira aingĩ. (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Messiah Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
Ningĩ ndĩ mbere ya Ngai, ũrĩa ũheaga indo ciothe muoyo, na mbere ya Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa warutire ũira mwega rĩrĩa aarutaga ũira mbere ya Pontio Pilato, nĩ ngũgwatha atĩ
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah;
ũrũmagie rĩathani rĩu wathĩtwo narĩo ũtarĩ na kĩmeni kana ũcuuke nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ akoonanio,
15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
ũrĩa Ngai akoonania ihinda rĩake rĩakinya. Ngai ũcio-rĩ, nĩwe mwene hinya ũrĩa wa kũgoocagwo, na nowe Mũthamaki wa athamaki, na Mwathani wa aathani.
16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Ningĩ nowe wiki ũtũũraga muoyo ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na agatũũra ũtheri-inĩ ũrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũũkuhĩrĩria. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ wamuona kana ũngĩhota kũmuona. Nake arotĩĩagwo, na arogĩa na wathani ũrĩa ũtathiraga nginya tene. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Athaga andũ arĩa itonga gũkũ thĩ ĩno tũrĩ matigage kwĩgaatha kana kũiga mwĩhoko wao harĩ thĩinĩ wa ũtonga ũcio ũtamenyagĩrwo, no maigage mwĩhoko wao harĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũtũheaga indo ciothe na ũtaana, nĩguo itũkenagie. (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Maathe mekage wega, na maingĩhĩrwo nĩ gwĩkaga ciĩko njega, na matuĩke andũ a gũtugana na kũgayagĩra andũ indo ciao na ũtaana.
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
Meka ũguo nĩmarĩĩigagĩra kĩgĩĩna kĩao ene kĩrĩ mũthingi mũrũmu nĩ ũndũ wa mahinda marĩa magooka, na nĩgeetha mahote kwĩgwatĩra muoyo, na nĩguo muoyo ũrĩa wa ma kũna.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
Atĩrĩrĩ, Timotheo, gitagĩra kĩrĩa wĩhokeirwo. Wĩthemage inegene rĩa arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai, na ngarari cia mathugunda ma maheeni marĩa matuagwo atĩ nĩmo ũmenyo na ti ũmenyo kũrĩ.
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
Andũ amwe metĩkĩtie atĩ marĩ na ũmenyo ũcio nĩmatũgũũgĩte na makoima wĩtĩkio-inĩ. Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ.
