1 Timothy 6
1 Let all who are under the yoke as bond-servants count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
Musiye bahikana vonse vena kwi jokwe kukuteka vayendisi vavo che kute lyulonse. Vaswanera kuchita ichi iri kuti izina lya Ireeza ni tuto yakwe kanji zi nyaziwa.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
Vahikana vena vayendisi vavo vachi vava zumini kavaswaneli kuva vuza ikute kakuli mizwale. linu, vaswanera kuva severeza monse ahulu. Kuva yendisi va tusiwa che misevezi yavo kuva zumine ni vasakiwa. Urute ni kutalusa izi zintu.
3 If any one teacheth other doctrine, and assenteth not to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Mwendi zumwi uruta zi chichana mi katambuli itayero zetu zi sepahala, nji kuti, manzwi a Simwine wetu Jesu Keresite. Mwendi mane kava tambuli i tuto zitwala kuvu halo bwa Ireeza.
4 he is puffed up with pride, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Uzo muntu uli kumusa mi kakwina chezi. nihakwina bulyo, u lwala cho kulyangana ni kukanana kuama ziyambo zi sena tuso. Azi ziyambo kazina ituso, ni muuna, ni mukutukana, ni mukuhupulera bantu vuvi, ni
5 incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain.
hape pahazwa ifapano i mbilala za vantu va maano a volete. Va sanduka kuzwa kwi niti. Vahupula kuti vulaperi nje nzira ifumiza mutu.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Linu vulaperi ni kusepa che nkulo chifumu chi kando.
7 For we brought nothing into the world; and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Kakuli kakwina chituva leti mwi Nkanda. Hape kakwina chituola kuhinda muili.
8 If we have, then, food and raiment, we will be therewith content.
Linu, tuli tumere che zilyo ni zizwato zitukwete.
9 But they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Hanu avo vasaka kuva vafumite vawiranga mumiiko, mukla swa. Vawiranga muma lava ovu hafu ni muzintu zi holofaza ni muzintu zonse zipanga vantu kuwira mu kusinyeha ni kufokola.
10 For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.
Kakuti i rato lya mashereñi njo muhisi we zivilala zonse. Vamwi vantu vazi lakamina ahulu chivavazwi mwi tumero mi chivavali hwezi avo vene ni masikuluko mangi ahulu.
11 But do thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Kono inwe, vakwame va Ireeza, muzwe kwezi zintu. Mungane kuluka, vulaperi, kusepahala, irato, kuwonderela, ni kulikwata.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on everlasting life, to which thou wast called, and didst profess the good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Mulwe inkondo i ndotu inkondo ye tumero. Mukwatirire kwi sepiso iya kuireisa mani iyo imuva supwa. I vaka lyechi kuti muvahi vupaki havusu bwe pankinzingi kwecho chili chiloto. (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee before God, who giveth life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who under Pontius Pilate testified the good profession,
Ni miha iyi itayero havusu Ireeza, yo leta kuti zintu zonse zihale, ni havusu bwa Keresite Jesu, yava wambi chivali che niti kwa Potisi Pilato:
14 that thou keep the commandment without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
muvike hande itayero, nikusena kunyazahala, kusikira ha kuvoneka kwa Simwine wetu Jesu Kiresite.
15 which in his own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
Ireeza kezivahaze kuvoneka kwakwe he nako i swanera - Ireeza, yo Fuyaulitwe, inzo ziho zonke, Simwine yo vunsa, Simwine yo yendisa.
16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man hath seen, or can see; to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Njiyena yenke yasa fwi mi uhala mwi seri lisa loliwa. Kakwina muntu yo mulola kamba kumuvona. Kwali kuve ni kute ni ziho zisa mani. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this world that they be not high-minded, nor place their hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, (aiōn g165)
Uwambire vafumi mweyinu inkanda kanji valikumusi, ni kusa vika i sepo yavo muchifumu, iri zintu zise kalilire. kono, vaswanera ku sepa mwe Ireeza. Utu newira vonse vuniti bwe chifumu kuti tulikole. (aiōn g165)
18 that they be rich in good works, liberal in imparting, willing to communicate,
Uva wambire kuti banpange hande, kufuma mukupanga zintu zilotu, kuli yumbula, ni kusaka kuliyavira.
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
Mweyo, inzira, muvali vikire musumo mulotu wezo zikezite, iri kuli niva kwatirire kuvuhalo sakata.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane babblings, and oppositions of the falsely-called knowledge;
Timoteya, uvavalere icho chiva hewa kwako. Uzwe kwi ngambolo zo buholo ni kani zisa tusi chimwi checo chiva supa kuti ingana.
21 which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.
Vamwi vantu vawamba inzi zintu mi chivava zwi mwi tumero. Mi chishemo chive nawe.
