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.
Vavanda voha viganikiwa kuvatopesa neju vakulu vavi muni kukoto kuvya na vandu vevakuliliga liina la Chapanga na mawuliwu gitu.
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.
Vavanda ndi vakulu vavi ndi vakilisitu vakoto kuvavevesa muni ndi valongo vavi mu Kilisitu. Pahala paki, viganikiwa hati kuvahengela bwina neju, muni venavo vipata chiyonjokesu chivaha kuhuma mulihengu levikita vavanda avo, ndava muni vasadika vevakuvagana. Uganikiwa kuwula na kukokosa mambu aga.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Mundu yoyoha mweiwula chimumbele na mambu aga, na mwangayidakila malovi ga chakaka ga Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu na mawuliwu ga kutama mukumganisa Chapanga,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
mwenuyo amemili kumeka na ndi amanyi lepi chindu chochoha. Ndi mundu mweigana ndindani na kutovana kwa malovi gawaka, na chenicho chileta wihu na ngondo na maligu na mnogo uhakau,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
na ndindani zangali mwishu kuhuma kwa vandu vangali luhala, na vangali uchakaka kangi. Viholalela kumhengela Chapanga ndi njila ya kupata vindu vyamahele.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Chakaka kumhengela Chapanga yikumkita mundu avya na vindu vyamahele neju, ngati ikola na vindu vyeavili navyu.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
Muni taletili lepi chindu chochoha pamulima apa, mewa tivya nakutola chindu chochoha.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Hunu ndi, ngati tivii na chakulya na nyula, genago gakutikola.
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.
Nambu vala vevigana kuvya na vindu vyamahele vigwa mukulingiwa, na kuyonjwa mulikoka la mnogo wamahele wa chiyimu, weukuvahuta mbaka mukuhakala na kuhalabika.
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.
Muni kugana neju mashonga ndi kutumbula uhakau woha. Vandu vamahele vinogela neju kupata mashonga hati kung'ahika kutali na sadika, na kujihoma mumitima wavi kwa ungolongondi uvaha.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Nambu veve wamundu wa Chapanga, jivika kutali na mambu ago. Londa kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga na kutama wumi wa kumuhengela mwene mewawa uvya na sadika na uganu na ulindila na ungolongondi.
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)
Tova ngondo yila yabwina ya sadika, muni upata njombi ya wumi wa magono goha, muni genago ndi gawakemeliwi na Chapanga, pewajovili wamwene ukumyidikila Kilisitu palongolo ya vandu vamahele. (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
Palongolo ya Chapanga mweakuvipela vindu vyoha wumi, na palongolo ya Kilisitu Yesu mweavajovili vandu vangi mambu ga chakaka palongolo ya Ponsio Pilatu,
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
nikulagiza ukamula mihilu yaku na kuyilanda kwa uchakaka mbaka ligono lila la leiwuya Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Kuwuya kwaki kukitika lukumbi lwaluganikiwa waupangiwi na Chapanga mwene mweilumbiwa na mweilongosa, Nkosi wa vankosi, na Bambu wa mabambu.
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)
Mwene ndu ihotola kutama magono goha gangali mwishu na ihotola kutama mu lumuli lwangahegelewa na mundu. Kawaka mundu mweamuwene amala mweihotola kumlola. Kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na uhotola wa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (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)
Valagiza vandu vevavili na vindu vyamahele magono aga, vakotoka kumeka, vakotoka kuhuvalila vindu vyangahuvalila, ndi vamuhuvalila Chapanga, mweakutipela vindu vyoha tivisangalukila ngati mashonga. (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Valagiza vakita gabwina, vavyai na vindu vyamahele mukukita gabwina, vavya na mtima wabwina muni vajitendekili kuvapela vangi vindu vyavi.
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.
Mukukita chenicho yati vakujivikila mkingisa kwa kugotola vindu vyamahele muwumi weubwela ndi wumi wa chakaka ndi ngati mundu mweakujilundikila vindu vyamahele kwa wumi wa palongolo.
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;
Timoti, vika bwina gala goha gewagotoliwi. Jivika kutali na majovesano ga pamulima na ng'omo ya chihomela ndava ya chila vandu vangi vakuchikemela “Umanya.”
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
Muni vandu vangi vimeka ndava ya kuvya na umanya wenuwo, na kuyagisa sadika. Nikuvaganila voha ubwina wa Chapanga!
