< 1 Timothy 6 >

1 As for slaves [DOU] [who are believers, teach them that they] should consider that it is right for them to honor their masters in every way. If they do that, people will not speak (against/evil about) God [MTY] and they will not speak (against/evil about) that which [we apostles] teach, [because they will see that the slaves are being respectful of their masters].
همۀ غلامان مسیحی باید با اربابان خود در کمال احترام رفتار کنند تا مردم نام خدا و تعلیم او را بد نگویند.
2 [Slaves] who have masters who believe [in Christ] must not be disrespectful to their masters just because their masters are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve [their masters] even better because [their masters] are fellow believers whom [God] loves and who benefit when [the slaves] serve them well. As you teach these things [to your congregation], exhort/urge [people] that they do them.
اگر ارباب هم مسیحی باشد، نباید از او سوءاستفاده نمایند و از زیر کار شانه خالی کنند، بلکه برعکس باید بهتر کار کنند، چون به یک برادر مسیحی خدمت می‌کنند. این نکات را به ایمانداران تعلیم بده و ایشان را تشویق نما تا آنها را اجرا کنند.
3 Some people teach things that are different. What they teach (does not agree with/is not like) the correct teaching that our Lord Jesus Christ [taught] (OR, that is about our Lord Jesus Christ). They do not say that we should conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]).
اگر کسی تعلیم دیگری بدهد و با آموزشهای درست خداوند ما، عیسی مسیح، و با تعالیم دیندارانه موافق نباشد،
4 Such people are very proud and do not understand anything [HYP]. Instead, they abnormally/wrongly desire to [argue about unimportant] matters and about certain words. As a result, [people who listen to them] (envy [others/] to have what others have). They quarrel [with others and with one another]. They say bad things about [others. They] suspect/think that [others] have evil ([motives/reasons for doing what they do]).
چنین شخصی پر از تکبر شده و فاقد درک و فهم است، و علاقه‌ای ناسالم به مجادلات و نزاعها دربارۀ مفهوم کلمات دارد، چیزی که منجر می‌گردد به حسادت، مشاجرات، گفتگوهای بدخواهانه، بدگمانی‌های شرارت‌بار،
5 Their whole way of thinking has become completely wrong [because] they have rejected the true [doctrine/teaching]. As a result, they [mistakenly] think that (by practicing religion/by saying that they believe in God) they will gain a lot of [money].
و اصطکاک‌های دائمی میان افرادی که ذهنی فاسد دارند، و به حقیقت پشت کرده‌اند، و گمان می‌برند که دینداری وسیله‌ای است برای کسب منافع مالی!
6 [Well, we] truly do gain great [benefit] when we conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]) and we are content [with what we have].
اما دینداری به‌همراه قانع بودن، ثروت عظیمی است.
7 We brought nothing into the world [when we were born], and we cannot take anything out [of it when we die],
ما چیزی با خود به این دنیا نیاورده‌ایم و چیزی نیز نخواهیم برد.
8 so if we have food and clothing, we should be satisfied with these.
پس اگر خوراک و پوشاک کافی داریم، باید قانع و راضی باشیم.
9 But some people strongly desire to be rich. As a result, they [do wrong things to get money, and this will cause them to] be caught/trapped [MET] as animals get caught in traps. They foolishly desire many things, and those desires cause them to get hurt. And God will completely reject [them]!
زیرا آنانی که به دنبال ثروت‌اندوزی می‌دوند، دیر یا زود دست به کارهای نادرست می‌زنند؛ این کارها به خود ایشان صدمه زده، فکرشان را فاسد می‌کند و آنها را به تباهی و نابودی می‌کشد.
10 All kinds of bad things will happen to people who [PRS] desire to have a lot of money. Because some people longed for money, they have stopped believing the doctrine/teaching [that all of us believe] and they have caused themselves much grief/sadness.
زیرا عشق به ثروت، ریشۀ انواع شرارت‌هاست. بعضی‌ها که در آرزوی ثروت بوده‌اند، از ایمان رویگردان شده، خود را گرفتار انواع دردها کرده‌اند.
11 But as for you, who are a man who [serves God], (keep completely away from such love of money/do not be like the people who love money). Decide that you will do what is right, and that you will (be godly/do what pleases God). Decide that you will trust [God], and that you will love [others]. Endure [difficult circumstances]. Always be gentle [with people].
ای تیموتائوس، تو مرد خدایی! از این کارهای زشت بگریز، و راستی و تقوا را پیشهٔ خود ساز؛ به خدا اعتماد کن؛ انسان‌ها را محبت نما؛ صبور و مهربان باش.
12 Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
در جنگ نیکوی ایمان به‌خوبی بجنگ و به دست آور آن زندگی جاوید را که خدا تو را به آن فراخواند، آن هنگام که در حضور گواهان بسیار، اعتراف نیکو کردی. (aiōnios g166)
13 God, who gives life to all things, knows everything that you do. Christ Jesus also knows everything that you do. He strongly declared what was true when [he was on trial before] Pontius Pilate.
در حضور خدایی که به همه زندگی می‌بخشد، و در حضور مسیح عیسی که با دلیری در برابر پُنتیوس پیلاتُس شهادت داد، به تو سفارش می‌کنم
14 I command you that as you keep all that in mind, in every way you (hold fast/obey) to what Christ has commanded us [DOU]. (Hold fast/obey) to those teachings in a way that our Lord Jesus Christ cannot (criticize you about/say that what you did was wrong), until he comes again.
که تمامی اوامر خدا را انجام دهی، تا کسی نتواند از حال تا بازگشت خداوند ما عیسی مسیح، عیبی در تو بیابد؛
15 [Remember that God] will cause Jesus to come again at the proper time. God is awesome! He is the only Ruler! He rules over all other people who rule!
زیرا خدای متبارک که تنها قادر متعال و شاه شاهان و سَرور سَروران است، در زمان معین مسیح را خواهد فرستاد.
16 He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
تنها اوست که فناناپذیر است، و در نوری سکونت دارد که کسی را یارای نزدیک شدن به آن نیست، و هیچ بشری او را ندیده و نخواهد دید. عزت و قدرت تا به ابد بر او باد. آمین. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
به کسانی که در این دنیا ثروتی دارند بگو که مغرور نشوند و به آن امید نبندند چون دیر یا زود از بین خواهد رفت، بلکه امیدشان به خدا باشد که هر چه لازم داریم سخاوتمندانه برای ما فراهم می‌سازد تا از آنها لذّت ببریم. (aiōn g165)
18 Also, tell them that their good deeds must be as plentiful [as their money]. Specifically, they should share very generously with others [what they have].
به ایشان بگو دارایی خود را در راه خیر صرف کنند و در نیکوکاری ثروتمند باشند؛ با شادی به محتاجان کمک نمایند، و همیشه آماده باشند تا از ثروتی که خدا به ایشان عطا کرده است، به دیگران نفعی برسانند.
19 If they do that, [Jesus will give them a great reward. It will be as though] they are piling up [in heaven] treasure for themselves that will (be a good [basis on which they may rely] for/result in their) receiving a great reward in the future (OR, which will be [as] solid [as] the foundation [MET] [of a house]). By doing this they will experience what real life is like.
با این کارهای نیک، ایشان گنجی واقعی برای خود ذخیره می‌کنند که بنیان خوبی برای آینده است، تا آن حیاتی را به دست آورند که زندگی واقعی است.
20 Timothy, faithfully proclaim/protect the true message (OR, do the work) that [Jesus] has given [to you]. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who want to] chatter about things that are not important to God. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who claim/say that they have] ‘true knowledge’ but who say things that oppose/contradict [our true teaching].
ای تیموتائوس، آنچه را که خدا به تو به امانت سپرده است، حفظ کن. خود را درگیر بحث‌های بیهوده نکن، به‌خصوص با کسانی که دم از علم و دانش می‌زنند.
21 ([Keep completely away from/Reject completely]) [such teaching. Remember that] some people who claim [to have this ‘knowledge’] have stopped believing what [all of us] believe. ([I desire that/May]) [God continue to act] kindly toward you all.
بعضی از این دسته افراد، در اثر همین بحث‌ها، ایمانشان را از دست داده‌اند. فیض خداوند با تو باد.
