1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed.
Vavanda voha viganikiwa kuvatopesa neju vakulu vavi muni kukoto kuvya na vandu vevakuliliga liina la Chapanga na mawuliwu gitu.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Vavanda ndi vakulu vavi ndi vakilisitu vakoto kuvavevesa muni ndi valongo vavi mu Kilisitu. Pahala paki, viganikiwa hati kuvahengela bwina neju, muni venavo vipata chiyonjokesu chivaha kuhuma mulihengu levikita vavanda avo, ndava muni vasadika vevakuvagana. Uganikiwa kuwula na kukokosa mambu aga.
3 If any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Mundu yoyoha mweiwula chimumbele na mambu aga, na mwangayidakila malovi ga chakaka ga Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu na mawuliwu ga kutama mukumganisa Chapanga,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,
mwenuyo amemili kumeka na ndi amanyi lepi chindu chochoha. Ndi mundu mweigana ndindani na kutovana kwa malovi gawaka, na chenicho chileta wihu na ngondo na maligu na mnogo uhakau,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
na ndindani zangali mwishu kuhuma kwa vandu vangali luhala, na vangali uchakaka kangi. Viholalela kumhengela Chapanga ndi njila ya kupata vindu vyamahele.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Chakaka kumhengela Chapanga yikumkita mundu avya na vindu vyamahele neju, ngati ikola na vindu vyeavili navyu.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Muni taletili lepi chindu chochoha pamulima apa, mewa tivya nakutola chindu chochoha.
8 And having food and raiment with these let us be content.
Hunu ndi, ngati tivii na chakulya na nyula, genago gakutikola.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Nambu vala vevigana kuvya na vindu vyamahele vigwa mukulingiwa, na kuyonjwa mulikoka la mnogo wamahele wa chiyimu, weukuvahuta mbaka mukuhakala na kuhalabika.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Muni kugana neju mashonga ndi kutumbula uhakau woha. Vandu vamahele vinogela neju kupata mashonga hati kung'ahika kutali na sadika, na kujihoma mumitima wavi kwa ungolongondi uvaha.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Nambu veve wamundu wa Chapanga, jivika kutali na mambu ago. Londa kuvya mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga na kutama wumi wa kumuhengela mwene mewawa uvya na sadika na uganu na ulindila na ungolongondi.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Tova ngondo yila yabwina ya sadika, muni upata njombi ya wumi wa magono goha, muni genago ndi gawakemeliwi na Chapanga, pewajovili wamwene ukumyidikila Kilisitu palongolo ya vandu vamahele. (aiōnios g166)
13 I command thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
Palongolo ya Chapanga mweakuvipela vindu vyoha wumi, na palongolo ya Kilisitu Yesu mweavajovili vandu vangi mambu ga chakaka palongolo ya Ponsio Pilatu,
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
nikulagiza ukamula mihilu yaku na kuyilanda kwa uchakaka mbaka ligono lila la leiwuya Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
15 Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Kuwuya kwaki kukitika lukumbi lwaluganikiwa waupangiwi na Chapanga mwene mweilumbiwa na mweilongosa, Nkosi wa vankosi, na Bambu wa mabambu.
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Mwene ndu ihotola kutama magono goha gangali mwishu na ihotola kutama mu lumuli lwangahegelewa na mundu. Kawaka mundu mweamuwene amala mweihotola kumlola. Kwaki kuvya kutopeswa na uhotola wa magono goha gangali mwishu! Ena. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Valagiza vandu vevavili na vindu vyamahele magono aga, vakotoka kumeka, vakotoka kuhuvalila vindu vyangahuvalila, ndi vamuhuvalila Chapanga, mweakutipela vindu vyoha tivisangalukila ngati mashonga. (aiōn g165)
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share;
Valagiza vakita gabwina, vavyai na vindu vyamahele mukukita gabwina, vavya na mtima wabwina muni vajitendekili kuvapela vangi vindu vyavi.
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Mukukita chenicho yati vakujivikila mkingisa kwa kugotola vindu vyamahele muwumi weubwela ndi wumi wa chakaka ndi ngati mundu mweakujilundikila vindu vyamahele kwa wumi wa palongolo.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Timoti, vika bwina gala goha gewagotoliwi. Jivika kutali na majovesano ga pamulima na ng'omo ya chihomela ndava ya chila vandu vangi vakuchikemela “Umanya.”
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
Muni vandu vangi vimeka ndava ya kuvya na umanya wenuwo, na kuyagisa sadika. Nikuvaganila voha ubwina wa Chapanga!
