1 Timothy 6
1 As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;
Du bi wa ba gran du ba toh ba ti koh ba ni daraja, duba ti naki saboda duba na kpa inde Irji ti meme ni blabla ma na.
2 and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;
Igran bi wa ba nei ni ba ti koh bi bangaskiya du ba na kpa ba tsir na don ba mri vayi kpaba, nakima baka ti dun ni kwazo ba tikoh waba ciriba idu bihu Irji kaunatatu ka koya di tsro ba ikpie bi yi
3 if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words — those of our Lord Jesus Christ — and to the teaching according to piety,
Inde ndi ri ye si bla kpie ri kan, dana kpa yeim ni tre Bachi bu Yesu Kristi, ni tre Irji.
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,
Ani wur wo ni san da na to ikpie na, nakima a hei ni jayaya ni san yeiu, nitre, itre, itre bi yi ba jin hug, ni vie, ni mre, ni meme tre.
5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
Ani ji rashi jintuwa, ye ni mi ndi wa ba hei ni gigla hankula, ba kaba ni jaji da ni tre di hu Irji ahi koh u ti klen, iftlft ifqa wu ka chu tu me rhu ni mi ikpie baki ifqa
6 but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;
Ziza'a hu Irji di ghen a kikle riba.
7 for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;
Nakima kina ji kpie di ye ni gbugbulu na kina iya ji kpie di rhu ni mi na.
8 but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;
Nakima kika dagana ni biri ni kpie u' sur.
9 and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,
Naki biwa ba son zama biklen, ba joku ni mi jaraba ba trako, ba joku ni mi ikpie bi meme, ni sha'awoyi bi meme, ni ko gye wa ani jin ndi hi yo ni mi lalaci ni kug.
10 for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;
Nakima son klen ahi ijah kowane meme kpie, ndi bari yadda ba wa klen, baka ikoh jaji ba ja nitu ba shijin ne gbugbuu.
11 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
Wu ndi u Irji, na ri iri kpie baki na, hu adalci, ikon irji, aminci, ison, vu suron, ni ti kpie didi.
12 be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Taku didima u' jaji, vu ivri u sise ni sei wa ba yo ye ni mi, itu wayi na shaida ni shishi ndi gbugbu'u nitu ipkie wa a didima (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,
Mo no u doka i ni shishi irji wa ani no vri ni kpie ba wawu'u, ni shi Almasihu Yesu, wa ahla kpie wa na didima ni Bilatus Babunti.
14 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Hu doka dede du kpie u mre na hei ni mi na har ye Bachi bu Yesu Almasihu.
15 which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
Irji ni tsro yema ni dede iton ma Irji u lulu, makadacin iko. Ichu wa ani yi sarauta, Bachi bu'u mulki.
16 who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honour and might age-during! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Wa wu i ni kangrt ma ana kug na wa ani sun ni mi kpan, wa bana cih hi na. Ba ndi wa ani toh, ko ba hangi u' nikon a tabata ni 'u', ni iko u sisei ni sei Amin. (aiōnios g166)
17 Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; — (aiōn g165)
Hla ni bi kle ni mi gbugbulu i duba na zu tu na, duba na yo suron ni klen wa ana krie na, nakima baka yo suron ni Irji wa ani nota klen u jaji don kika ji dadi. (aiōn g165)
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
Hla ni bawu duba ti nagarta, da ti klen ni du didima da ta zo ni bu wo.
19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.
Naki bazi nituba harshashi u' didima, nitu ikpie wa'asi ye nibau' wa ba kpa rayuwa u kwarai.
20 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
Timotawus mla ikpie wa bana no. na cib hi ni bi tre ruru ni sen yieu ni kpie wa ani ga kpa ba, wa ba yo di ilimi u ce.
21 which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
Indi bari basi duh iri kpie bi yi, don duba kauce ni jaji. Naki du alheri sun ni wa Amin.
