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;
Basha bonse bape bulemu bunene abo mbobalasebenselenga kwambeti, kapataba muntu eshasebanye Lina lya Lesa ne ciyisho cetu.
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;
Mobasha, na mbomulasebenselenga ni banse benu muliklistu kamutabanyanshanga cebo ca kwambeti nibaklistu banenu sobwe, amwe basebenseleni cena, pakwinga bakute kucanamo cena mu ncito shabo ni baklistu, kayi embobasuni. Kopitilisha kubeyisha malailile awa ngondakupa kwambeti bakonkelenga.
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,
Muntu leyishinga bintu byapusana ne ibi, lakananga kusuminisha maswi ancinencine a Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, ne ciyisho cekatana ne buyumi bulalemekeshenga Lesa,
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,
ulico ni muntu shikulisumpula utacishi ciliconse, shikutotekowa. Ici cikute kuletowa munyono, ne kutotekeshanya, ne kutukashana, kayi ne kuyeyelana byaipa.
5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
Ici cikute kuletowa kulondola pa bantu bakute miyeyo yaipa batakonsho kwishiba ca ncinencine. Balo bakute kuyeyeti kupaila Lesa ni nshila ya kucaninamo bubile.
6 but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;
Ee, nicakubinga kupaila Lesa kukute kupa muntu kuba wakwana ne bintu mbyakute.
7 for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;
Sena pali cintu ncotwalaletelela pacinshi? Paliya! Sena pali cintu nceti tukamantilile pakufumapo? Paliya!
8 but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;
Neco, na katukuteko cakulya, byakufwala ne pakona byopelebyo byakwana.
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,
Nomba bantu bakute kuyandishisha bubile bakute kuwila mumasunko angi, ne kwikatwa mu tose twabuluya tweshikononga twalunkumbwa lwa mubili lukute kubatwala kulufu.
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;
Pakwinga kusunisha mali emuyanda wa bintu bingi byaipa. Nabambi bantu pakusunisha mali balataya lushomo ne kuliletela mapensho pa mibili yabo.
11 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
Nomba obe muntu wa Lesa, kotamantamo lubasu mu bintu byaipa. Obe lwila bululami, kulemeka Lesa, lushomo, lusuno, kutalekela pakati, ne kuba wabomba moyo.
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)
Kolwana nkondo yaina ya lushomo, kwambeti ukatambule buyumi butapu, pakwinga ekubuyumi ubu nkwalakukuwila Lesa pasa mpowalikwambilila sha lushomo lwakobe pa menso abantu bangi. (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,
Pamenso pali Lesa ukute kupa buyumi bintu byonse, kayi ne pamenso pa Klistu Yesu uyo walapa bukamboni bwakendi pantangalala kuli Ponsho Pilato, ndakwambileti,
14 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
konkela byonse mbyowalambilwa kwinsa mwakubula kutonshanya mpaka pabusuba mbweshakabwele Mwami Yesu Klistu.
15 which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
Lesa ngobakute kulumbaisha bantu bonse, Mwendeleshi wancinencine, wa bendeleshi, Mwami wa bami bonse, endiyeti akapesheti Klistu akabwele kayi pa cindi celela.
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)
Lesa enkowa eutafu, ewekala mu mumuni utashikwa pepi, paliya muntu walamubonapo, kayi paliya wela kumubona. Lesa apewe bulemu, kayi shakendi ningofu shitapu kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (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)
Bacenjesheko bantu babile mucishi kwambeti, kabatatwanga nambi kucinka manungo mububile bwela kutaika cindi ciliconse, nsombi kabashoma Lesa ukute kutupa bintu byonse mwakutandabula cikasa kwambeti afwe tukondwe nebuyumi. (aiōn g165)
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
Bambile kwambeti benshilenga byaina bantu, babe babile mu micito yaina, beshikupako banabo camoyo umo bintu mbyobakute.
19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.
Uko ekubunganya bubile bwabo kwambeti bube pebakwa buyumi bwabo bwakuntangu mbweti bakalicanine, ee buyumi bwa ncinencine nditu.
20 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
Obe Timoti, kobamba cena bintu mbyolapewa mu makasa akobe. Talamuka ku mibandi ne kutotekeshanya kwabuluya kutalete bulemu kuli Lesa uko bantu nkobakute kuboneti, “Emano.”
21 which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
Nabambi balataya lushomo cebo cakulibonesheti bakute mano amushoboyu. Nkumbo sha Lesa shibe nenjamwe.
