1 Timotheo 6
1 Nĩ kwagĩrĩire andũ arĩa ngombo, o acio maikaraga ta mekĩrĩtwo icooki rĩa ũkombo ngingo matuage atĩ aathani ao nĩ a kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo gĩothe, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na ũrutani witũ itikanacambio.
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.
2 Arĩa marĩ na aathani metĩkĩtie matikamaime gĩtĩĩo nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo atĩ nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wao. Handũ ha ũguo, nĩmamatungatagĩre wega makĩria, tondũ arĩa maragunĩka nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata wao nĩ andũ metĩkĩtie, na nĩ andũ mendetwo. Rutanaga maũndũ macio na ũmaringagĩrĩrie andũ.
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.
3 Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩrutana ũrutani wa maheeni na akorwo ndetĩkanĩtie na ũrutani ũrĩa mwega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ na ũrutani ũrĩa wa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai-rĩ,
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,
4 mũndũ ũcio nĩ mwĩtĩĩi na ndarĩ ũndũ oĩ. Ũcio endete o ngarari itarĩ kĩguni na njũgitano ikoniĩ ciugo iria irehaga ũiru, na ngũĩ, na mĩario mĩũru, na gwĩkũũa maũndũ mooru,
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,
5 na kũgiana gũtathiraga gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa marĩ meciiria mooru, arĩa mathirĩirwo nĩ ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma, na arĩa meciiragia atĩ ũhoro wa kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai nĩ njĩra ya gũtũma mũndũ atonge.
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.
6 No rĩrĩ, kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai na kũiganwo nĩ kĩrĩa ũrĩ na kĩo, ũcio nĩ ũtonga mũnene.
And godliness is gain, when associated with contentment;
7 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ kĩndũ twarehire gũkũ thĩ, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ tũngĩhota kũruta kuo.
for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it;
8 No tũngĩgĩa na irio, na tũgĩe na nguo-rĩ, no tũiganwo nĩcio.
and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.
9 Andũ arĩa mendaga gũtonga-rĩ, nĩmagũũaga magerio-inĩ o na mũtego-inĩ wa merirĩria maingĩ ma ũrimũ ma kũmathũkia, marĩa mamagũithagia mwanangĩko-inĩ, makamaniina.
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.
10 Tondũ kwenda mbeeca nĩkĩo kĩhumo kĩa mĩthemba yothe ya ũũru. Andũ amwe nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda mbeeca mũno-rĩ, nĩmatigĩte wĩtĩkio, na magetheeca ngoro na kĩeha kĩingĩ.
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.
11 No wee mũndũ wa Ngai-rĩ, ũrĩra maũndũ macio mothe, na ũthingatage ũthingu, na kwĩyamũrĩra Ngai, na wĩtĩkio, na wendani, na gũkirĩrĩria, na ũhooreri.
But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.
12 Rũaga mbaara ĩrĩa njega ya wĩtĩkio. Rũmia ũhoro wa muoyo wa tene na tene o ũrĩa wetĩirwo rĩrĩa woimbũrire wega wĩtĩkio waku mbere ya aira aingĩ. (aiōnios g166)
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)
13 Ningĩ ndĩ mbere ya Ngai, ũrĩa ũheaga indo ciothe muoyo, na mbere ya Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa warutire ũira mwega rĩrĩa aarutaga ũira mbere ya Pontio Pilato, nĩ ngũgwatha atĩ
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--
14 ũrũmagie rĩathani rĩu wathĩtwo narĩo ũtarĩ na kĩmeni kana ũcuuke nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ akoonanio,
that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 ũrĩa Ngai akoonania ihinda rĩake rĩakinya. Ngai ũcio-rĩ, nĩwe mwene hinya ũrĩa wa kũgoocagwo, na nowe Mũthamaki wa athamaki, na Mwathani wa aathani.
For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
16 Ningĩ nowe wiki ũtũũraga muoyo ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na agatũũra ũtheri-inĩ ũrĩa gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũũkuhĩrĩria. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ wamuona kana ũngĩhota kũmuona. Nake arotĩĩagwo, na arogĩa na wathani ũrĩa ũtathiraga nginya tene. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)
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)
17 Athaga andũ arĩa itonga gũkũ thĩ ĩno tũrĩ matigage kwĩgaatha kana kũiga mwĩhoko wao harĩ thĩinĩ wa ũtonga ũcio ũtamenyagĩrwo, no maigage mwĩhoko wao harĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũtũheaga indo ciothe na ũtaana, nĩguo itũkenagie. (aiōn g165)
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)
18 Maathe mekage wega, na maingĩhĩrwo nĩ gwĩkaga ciĩko njega, na matuĩke andũ a gũtugana na kũgayagĩra andũ indo ciao na ũtaana.
They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;
19 Meka ũguo nĩmarĩĩigagĩra kĩgĩĩna kĩao ene kĩrĩ mũthingi mũrũmu nĩ ũndũ wa mahinda marĩa magooka, na nĩgeetha mahote kwĩgwatĩra muoyo, na nĩguo muoyo ũrĩa wa ma kũna.
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.
20 Atĩrĩrĩ, Timotheo, gitagĩra kĩrĩa wĩhokeirwo. Wĩthemage inegene rĩa arĩa matetigĩrĩte Ngai, na ngarari cia mathugunda ma maheeni marĩa matuagwo atĩ nĩmo ũmenyo na ti ũmenyo kũrĩ.
O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called 'knowledge';
21 Andũ amwe metĩkĩtie atĩ marĩ na ũmenyo ũcio nĩmatũgũũgĩte na makoima wĩtĩkio-inĩ. Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ.
of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all.
