1 Timothy 6
1 All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the name of God, and our teaching, may not be maligned.
avakami vooni avitiki, vijisyaghe kuvavombelua vaave, kuuti ilitavua lya Nguluve ni mbulanisio siitnasingabenapulwaghe.
2 Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are also followers of Christ, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians.
avakami vano avavombelua vaave vitiki, valekaghe pikuvabenapula ulwakuva va kipugha kimo. ulwene vanoghile kukuvavombela, vunofu na pikila, apuo viiva vikuvatanga avajanave mulwitio, kange avuo vaghanike vaave. isio uvulanisiaghe na kupavila.
3 Anyone who teaches otherwise, and refuses their assent to sound instruction – the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the teaching of religion,
kwevale avanhu vano vivulanisia imbulanisio sa vudesi. sino vivulanisia nasikwiting'hana na masio amanya vwumi agha Mmutwa ghwitu uYesu Kilisite, kange nasikwiting'hana nu vwimike.
4 is puffed up with conceit, not really knowing anything, but having a morbid craving for discussions and arguments. Such things only give rise to envy, quarreling, recriminations, base suspicions,
avuo vamemile ulughinio, kange navakagwile kimonga. avanhu avuo vikwumilila mulukaani ulusila luvumbulilo vwimila utusio utudebe. mu uluo jihumila igiila, amabaatu, amaligho, angananio,
5 and incessant wrangling on the part of these corrupt-minded people who have lost all hold on the truth, and who think of religion only as a source of gain.
kange jaatu ghinangania amapuling'ano. avaanhu avuo vanangiike uluhala, vasila vwakyang'ani visaagha kuuti kuvomba imbombo ija Nguluve je sila ija kukavila ikyuma.
6 Of course religion is a great source of gain – when combined with contentment!
ulwakuuva ni kyuma luvumbulilo, neke umuunhu iiva nu luvumbulilo ulukome, pano ikumwitika uNguluve na kukwilana ni fiinu fino ali nafyo.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.
ulwakuuva muiisi muno natwalisile na kimonga, kange natungavuuke na kimonga,
8 So, with food and shelter, we will be content.
looli tungave ni kyakulia ni fya kufwala tukwilanaghe nifio.
9 Those who want to be rich fall into the net of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into destruction and ruin.
neke vavo vali nu vunoghelua uvwa kyuma vwimila mungelo, nakughwilila munhegho na muvunoghelua uvwa kijasu vuno vukuvanangania. uluo lukuvapelela kupumuka kyongo.
10 Love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith, and have been pierced to the heart by many a regret.
ulwakuva kukusighana kyongo indalama vwe vutengulilo vwa vuvili vwinga. vamonga vinoghilue isio vasyangilue valulekile ulwitiko, pe vali muvuvafi uvukome hwene muunhu juno ikuhoma nu mmaghe.
11 But you must, servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
looli uve ghwe muunhu ghwa Nguluve, usikimbilaghe isio. uvingililaghe uvwimike, uvwimike, ulwitiko, ulughano, ulugudo nu vuhugu.
12 Run the great race of the faith, and win the eternal life. It was for this that you received the call, and, in the presence of many witnesses, made the great profession of faith. (aiōnios g166)
ghimbagha kukum'bingilila uNguluve ndavule lutalamu ndaani, neke ukolelelaghe uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila, vuno ghwa ghwakemelilue pala panoghwalyitike pavolesi avinga. (aiōnios g166)
13 I beg you, as in the sight of God, the source of all life, and of Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the great profession of faith –
nikukulaghila pamaaso gha Nguluve juno ikufiviika fyumi ifinu fyoni, na pamaaso gha Yeesu Kilisite, juno alyajovile uvwolesi uvwa kyanghaani pamaaso gha Pontio Pilato,
14 I implore you to keep his command free from stain or reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
niiti, ugadililaghe indaghilo isio muvunofu vwoni, kuhanga pano alaava ikwisa uMutwa ghwitu uYeesu Kilisite.
15 This will be brought about in his own time by the one ever-blessed Potentate, the king of all kings and Lord of all lords,
kukwisa kwa mwene kulaava unsiki ghuno ataviike uNguluve juno ighinisivua, unya ngufu juno mwene, uNtwa ghwa vatwa vooni.
16 who alone is possessed of immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or ever can see – to whom be ascribed honor and power for ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
ujuo ghwe juno uvufue navukam'bona, ikalile palumuli luno umuunhu nangaluvelelele. kange nakwale umuunhu juno amwaghile, nambe juno ndepoonu ikumwagha. uvwoghopua ni ngufu ali nafyo ifighono fyoni Ameni. (aiōnios g166)
17 Teach those who are wealthy in this life not to pride themselves, or fix their hopes, on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but on God, who gives us a wealth of enjoyment on every side. (aiōn g165)
vavuule avamofu valeke kukughinia, nambe kuhuviila uvumofu vwake uvwa muiisi iji, vuno vwa nsiki n'debe. looli vamhuvilaghe uNguluve juno ikutupeela iffinu fyoni muvukoola vwake, kuuti tufivombelaghe nu lukeelo. (aiōn g165)
18 Teach them to show kindness, to exhibit a wealth of good actions, to be open-handed and generous,
kange avavuule vavombaghe inofu neke vavisaghe vamofu mumbombo inofu ndavile avange vule vamofu mufiinu. vavisaghe vapeesi nakuhangilanila na vange ikyuma kyave.
19 storing up for themselves what in the future will prove to be a good foundation, so that they may gain the only true life.
kuvomba imbombo inofu isio, luli ndavule kuvuta ifiinu ifya kukutanga unsiki ghuno ghukwisa, ukuo kwe kukuvikila ulwalo ulukangafu ifighono fino fikwisa, apuo pepano valupila uvwumi uvwa kyang'haani.
20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane prattle and contradictions of what some miscall ‘theology,’
timoteo, gadililagha vunofu uvyakyang'haani vuno upelilue. ulekaghe kukujingisia mumasio ghano nagha Mutwa amasila luvumbulilo na makaning'hano agha kijasu, ghano avange viiti vwe vukagusi.
21 for there are those who, while asserting their proficiency in it, have yet, as regards the faith, gone altogether astray. God bless you all.
avaanhu avange vano vasikolile isio, valulekile ulwitiko lwave. ulusungu luvisaghe palikimo numue.
