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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
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 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
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 the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
Pamba te, toyaki maboko pamba kati na mokili, mpe tokozonga maboko pamba.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Mpe lokola tokozalaka na bilei mpe na bilamba, tokosepelaka na yango.
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.
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 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.
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 you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
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 of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of 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 command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Messiah Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the 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 you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah;
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 its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, 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 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)
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 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)
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, that they be 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 of that which is truly 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 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is 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 you.
Bato mingi babungisaki kondima na bango mpo ete bakangamaki na boyebi yango. Tika ete ngolu ezala elongo na bino nyonso!
