1 Timothy 6
1 Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against.
avakami vooni avitiki, vijisyaghe kuvavombelua vaave, kuuti ilitavua lya Nguluve ni mbulanisio siitnasingabenapulwaghe.
2 And those who have believing masters should not be wanting in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers and are friends.
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 So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions--those of our Lord Jesus Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness,
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 he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured 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 persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that godliness means 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 And godliness is gain, when associated 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, nor can we carry anything out of it;
ulwakuuva muiisi muno natwalisile na kimonga, kange natungavuuke na kimonga,
8 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.
looli tungave ni kyakulia ni fya kufwala tukwilanaghe nifio.
9 But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in 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 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows.
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, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.
looli uve ghwe muunhu ghwa Nguluve, usikimbilaghe isio. uvingililaghe uvwimike, uvwimike, ulwitiko, ulughano, ulugudo nu vuhugu.
12 Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses. (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 charge you--as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble 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 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
niiti, ugadililaghe indaghilo isio muvunofu vwoni, kuhanga pano alaava ikwisa uMutwa ghwitu uYeesu Kilisite.
15 For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
kukwisa kwa mwene kulaava unsiki ghuno ataviike uNguluve juno ighinisivua, unya ngufu juno mwene, uNtwa ghwa vatwa vooni.
16 who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and power! 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 Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches--that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment. (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 They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;
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 that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.
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 O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called 'knowledge';
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 of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all.
avaanhu avange vano vasikolile isio, valulekile ulwitiko lwave. ulusungu luvisaghe palikimo numue.
