1 Timothy 6
1 Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor. They should do this so that the name of God and the teaching might not be blasphemed.
Jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí i ṣe ẹrú lábẹ́ ìsìnrú máa ka àwọn olówó tí ó ni wọ́n yẹ sí ọlá gbogbo, kí a má bà á sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí orúkọ Ọlọ́run àti ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ̀.
2 The slaves who have believing masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them all the more. For the masters who are helped by their work are believers and are loved. Teach and declare these things.
Àwọn ti ó ní ọ̀gá onígbàgbọ́, kí wọn má ṣe ṣàìbọ̀wọ̀ fún wọn nítorí tí wọn jẹ́ arákùnrin; ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn túbọ̀ máa sìn wọ́n, nítorí àwọn tí í ṣe alábápín iṣẹ́ rere wọn jẹ́ onígbàgbọ́ àti olùfẹ́. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni kí ó máa kọ́ ni, kí o sì máa fi gbani níyànjú.
3 If anyone teaches something that does not agree with the reliable instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń kọ́ni ní ẹ̀kọ́ mìíràn, ti kò sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ ti ó yè kooro, ti Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, àti ẹ̀kọ́ ti ó bá ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run mu,
4 he is proud and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words that result in envy, strife, insults, evil suspicions,
Ó gbéraga, kò mọ̀ nǹkan kan, bí kò ṣe ìyànjú àti ìjà nípa ọ̀rọ̀ èyí tí ó ń mú ìlara, ìjà, ọ̀rọ̀ búburú wá,
5 and constant conflict between people with depraved minds. They have lost the truth and they think that godliness is a way to get more money.
àti ọ̀rọ̀ àríyànjiyàn àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́kàn èérí ti kò sí òtítọ́ nínú wọn, tiwọn ṣe bí ọ̀nà sí èrè ni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run; yẹra lọ́dọ̀ irú àwọn wọ̀nyí.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run pẹ̀lú ìtẹ́lọ́rùn èrè ńlá ni.
7 For we have brought nothing into the world. Neither are we able to take out anything.
Nítorí a kò mú ohun kan wá sí ayé, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì lè mu ohunkóhun jáde lọ.
8 Instead, let us be satisfied with food and clothing.
Bí a sì ni oúnjẹ àti aṣọ, ìwọ̀nyí yẹ́ kí ó tẹ́ wa lọ́rùn.
9 Now those who want to become wealthy fall into temptation, into a trap. They fall into many foolish and harmful passions, and into whatever else makes people sink into ruin and destruction.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ń fẹ́ di ọlọ́rọ̀ a máa bọ́ sínú ìdánwò àti ìdẹ̀kùn, àti sínú òmùgọ̀ ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ púpọ̀ tí í pa ni lára, irú èyí tí ó máa ń ri ènìyàn sínú ìparun àti ègbé.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people who desire it have been mislead away from the faith and have pierced themselves with much grief.
Nítorí ìfẹ́ owó ni gbòǹgbò ohun búburú gbogbo; èyí tí àwọn mìíràn ń lépa tí a sì mú wọn ṣìnà kúrò nínú ìgbàgbọ́, wọ́n sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ìbànújẹ́ gún ara wọn lọ́kọ̀.
11 But you, man of God, flee from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, sá fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí; kí ó sì máa lépa òdodo, ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, ìgbàgbọ́, ìfẹ́ sùúrù, ìwà tútù.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and about which you gave the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Máa ja ìjà rere ti ìgbàgbọ́, di ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun mú nínú èyí tí a pè ọ sí, ti ìwọ sì ṣe ìjẹ́wọ́ rere níwájú ẹlẹ́rìí púpọ̀. (aiōnios g166)
13 I give you this command before God, who causes all things to live, and before Christ Jesus, who spoke what is true to Pontius Pilate:
Mo pàṣẹ fún ọ níwájú Ọlọ́run, tí ń sọ ohun gbogbo di ààyè, àti níwájú Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́rìí níwájú Pọntiu Pilatu,
14 Keep the commandment without spot or blame until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ.
kí ìwọ pa àṣẹ wọ̀nyí mọ́ ní àìlábàwọ́n, ní àìlẹ́gàn, títí di ìfarahàn Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
15 God will reveal Christ's appearing at the right time—God, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King who reigns and the Lord who rules.
Èyí ti yóò fihàn ní ìgbà tirẹ̀, Ẹni tí í ṣe Olùbùkún àti Alágbára kan ṣoṣo náà, ọba àwọn ọba, àti Olúwa àwọn Olúwa.
16 Only he has immortality and dwells in inapproachable light. No man sees him or is able to view him. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Ẹnìkan ṣoṣo tí ó jẹ àìkú, tí ń gbé inú ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí a kò lè súnmọ́, ẹni tí ènìyàn kan kò rí rí, tí a kò sì lè rí: ẹni tí ọlá àti agbára títí láé ń ṣe tirẹ̀. Àmín. (aiōnios g166)
17 Tell the rich in this world not to be proud, and not to hope in riches, which are uncertain. Instead, they should hope in God. He offers to us all the true riches to enjoy. (aiōn g165)
Kìlọ̀ fún àwọn tí ó lọ́rọ̀ ní ayé ìsinsin yìí kí wọn ma ṣe gbéraga, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí wọn má ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ àìdánilójú, bí kò ṣe lé Ọlọ́run alààyè, tí ń fi ohun gbogbo fún wa lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ láti lò; (aiōn g165)
18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and willing to share.
kí wọn máa ṣoore, kí wọn máa pọ̀ ní iṣẹ́ rere, kí wọn múra láti pín fún ni, kí wọn ni ẹ̀mí ìbá kẹ́dùn;
19 In that way, they will store up for themselves a good foundation for what is to come, so that they will take hold of real life.
kí wọn máa to ìṣúra ìpìlẹ̀ rere jọ fún ara wọn dé ìgbà tí ń bọ̀, kí wọn lè di ìyè tòótọ́ mú.
20 Timothy, protect what was given to you. Avoid the foolish talk and conflicting ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.
Timotiu, máa ṣọ ohun tí a fi sí ìkáwọ́ rẹ, yà kúrò nínú ọ̀rọ̀ asán àti ìjiyàn ohun tí a ń fi èké pè ni ìmọ̀;
21 Some men proclaim these things and so they have missed the faith. May grace be with you.
èyí tí àwọn ẹlòmíràn jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ṣìnà ìgbàgbọ́. Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.
