1 Timothy 6

1 Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.

yaavanto lokaa yugadhaari. no daasaa. h santi te svasvasvaamina. m puur. nasamaadarayogya. m manyantaa. m no ced ii"svarasya naamna upade"sasya ca nindaa sambhavi. syati|

2 They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: —

ye. saa nca svaamino vi"svaasina. h bhavanti taiste bhraat. rtvaat naavaj neyaa. h kintu te karmmaphalabhogino vi"svaasina. h priyaa"sca bhavantiiti heto. h sevaniiyaa eva, tvam etaani "sik. saya samupadi"sa ca|

3 If anyone doth otherwise teach, and doth not adhere to healthful discourses—those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching that is, according to godliness,

ya. h ka"scid itara"sik. saa. m karoti, asmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya hitavaakyaanii"svarabhakte ryogyaa. m "sik. saa nca na sviikaroti

4 He is beclouded, knowing, nothing, rightly, but is diseased about questionings, and word-battles—out of which spring envy, strife, defamations, wicked surmising,

sa darpadhmaata. h sarvvathaa j naanahiina"sca vivaadai rvaagyuddhai"sca rogayukta"sca bhavati|

5 incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth, —supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!

taad. r"saad bhaavaad iir. syaavirodhaapavaadadu. s.taasuuyaa bhra. s.tamanasaa. m satyaj naanahiinaanaam ii"svarabhakti. m laabhopaayam iva manyamaanaanaa. m lokaanaa. m vivaadaa"sca jaayante taad. r"sebhyo lokebhyastva. m p. rthak ti. s.tha|

6 Now it is a great means of gain—godliness, with a sufficiency of one’s own;

sa. myatecchayaa yuktaa ye"svarabhakti. h saa mahaalaabhopaayo bhavatiiti satya. m|

7 For, nothing, brought we into the world, neither, to take anything out, are we able; —

etajjagatprave"sanakaale. asmaabhi. h kimapi naanaayi tattayajanakaale. api kimapi netu. m na "sak. syata iti ni"scita. m|

8 And, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content;

ataeva khaadyaanyaacchaadanaani ca praapyaasmaabhi. h santu. s.tai rbhavitavya. m|

9 But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction, —

ye tu dhanino bhavitu. m ce. s.tante te pariik. saayaam unmaathe patanti ye caabhilaa. saa maanavaan vinaa"se narake ca majjayanti taad. r"se. svaj naanaahitaabhilaa. se. svapi patanti|

10 For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.

yato. arthasp. rhaa sarvve. saa. m duritaanaa. m muula. m bhavati taamavalambya kecid vi"svaasaad abhra. m"santa naanaakle"sai"sca svaan avidhyan|

11 But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

he ii"svarasya loka tvam etebhya. h palaayya dharmma ii"svarabhakti rvi"svaasa. h prema sahi. s.nutaa k. saanti"scaitaanyaacara|

12 Be contesting the noble contest of the faith, —lay hold of the age-abiding life—unto which thou wast called, and didst make the noble confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,

apara. m sarvve. saa. m jiivayiturii"svarasya saak. saad ya"sca khrii. s.to yii"su. h pantiiyapiilaatasya samak. sam uttamaa. m pratij naa. m sviik. rtavaan tasya saak. saad aha. m tvaam idam aaj naapayaami|

14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ—

ii"svare. na svasamaye prakaa"sitavyam asmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaagamana. m yaavat tvayaa ni. skala"nkatvena nirddo. satvena ca vidhii rak. syataa. m|

15 Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will shew—the King of them that reign, and Lord of them that wield lordship,

sa ii"svara. h saccidaananda. h, advitiiyasamraa. t, raaj naa. m raajaa, prabhuunaa. m prabhu. h,

16 Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, —Whom no man hath seen—nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge—not to be high-minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches’, uncertainty, —but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying, (aiōn g165)

ihaloke ye dhaninaste cittasamunnati. m capale dhane vi"svaasa nca na kurvvataa. m kintu bhogaartham asmabhya. m pracuratvena sarvvadaataa (aiōn g165)

18 To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship, —

yo. amara ii"svarastasmin vi"svasantu sadaacaara. m kurvvantu satkarmmadhanena dhanino sukalaa daataara"sca bhavantu,

19 Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life [which is life] indeed.

20 O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, —

he tiimathiya, tvam upanidhi. m gopaya kaalpanikavidyaayaa apavitra. m pralaapa. m virodhokti nca tyaja ca,

21 Which, some professing, concerning the faith, have missed the mark! Favour be with you.
