1 Timote 6

1 Yaaba n ye ti yonbidi lolimanni n yaa nua ke bi canbaa ba pundi ban kpiagiba li bonla kuli nni. Ke ban da sugidi UTienu yeli leni obangima

Let them who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their masters in all honor; lest the name of God and his doctrine be reproached.

2 yaa yonbi n tuuni yaa canbaan ba n daani po n dafaliba kelima bi tie kpiiba, Ama ban yaa tuuni bi po ki cie kelima bi tie niginkaaba ki go tie bi bua kaaba. Han bangi laa bonla ki go ñii li po.

And let them who have believing masters, not treat them with disrespect, because they are their brethren; but let them be more obedient, because they are believers and beloved, in whose service they enjoy quietness. These things teach thou, and request of them.

3 O nilo yaa bangi bangitoama, kaa hua O DIEDO JESU maama leni obangima leni o teginma.

But if there be any one, who teacheth a different doctrine, and doth not accede to the salutary words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God,

4 O tie japaadaano, kaa bani li ba, ke li tie po nani Uyienu yen, opia mi niama, li nunponli, li koanli kulinkundu leni a yanjagibiada.

he is one that exalteth himself, while he knoweth nothing; and he languisheth in the search and inquiry about words, from which come envy, and contention, and railing, and evil surmising,

5 Mi mafanma leni yaaba yaa yantiana n joagini bi luo imoamoani bi nua ke Ke UTienu teginma n tie ti ñuadi hiali.

and the disputation of men, whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth, and who suppose that gain is godliness. But from these stand thou aloof.

6 Li tie ñuaciandi hiali a ya mangi apali han pia yaala.

But great is our gain, which is the fear of God, with the use of our competence.

7 Kelima tii den cua leni ba kuli li handunli nni, li go doagidi cain ke ti kan fidi ki taa li ba kuli lienni.

For we brought nothing into the world; and we know that we can carry nothing out of it.

8 Lani wani ti ya pia mi jiema leni ti tiayiekaadi li baa dagidi ti po.

Therefore, food and clothing satisfy us.

9 Ama yaababa n bua ki tua piada baa ba mi tulinma nni. Bi yankuabiada, ya n kaa pia fuoma ki baa biidi ba yeni, cuoba nani ku diagu yeni ki teni ke bi feli ki bodi cain.

But they who desire to become rich, fall into temptations, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and which drown men in destruction and perdition:

10 Kelima mi ligi buama tie li bonbiadi kuli yaa jiinu; Bi tianba den kuani bi yula lienni ki yaadi ki li dandanli, ki kuani bi yama lienni ki yaadi ki ha li dandanli ki kuani bi yula ti yan yangidi nni.

for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows.

11 Ama fini U Tienu nilo ŋan sani ki ŋa laa bonla ki lingi mi teginma, mi gagidiŋanma, li dandanli nni, mi buama li juuli, mi dingima.

But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, and rectitude, and faith, and love, and patience, and humility.

12 Han koani li dandanli koanŋanli, ki cuo ya miali n kangbeni, U Tienu n den yini a yaala yaapo ŋan go den tieni yaala ya seediŋamo bi niba boncianla nintuali. (aiōnios g166)

And contend in the good contest of faith; and lay hold of life eternal, to which thou art called, and of which thou hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 N teni a li ñoabonli U Tienu yua n tendi li bonla kuli li miali leni Jesu kilisiti yua n den doagidi li dandanmoanli Ponisa Pilata nuntuali, ŋan kubi laa ñoabonli.

I charge thee, before God, who quickeneth all, and before Jesus the Messiah who attested a good testimony before Pontius Pilate,

14 Ke han ya ŋua min teni a ya ñoabonli na cain, ki da tudi ba waamu ŋali ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti n baa doagidi o yuli yaa yogunu.

that thou keep the injunction, without stain, and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

15 Li yogunu ya pundi U Tienu baa teni o doagidima yeni n tieni, wani yua n pia u paalu kuli ki tie bi badiba kuli bado leni bi diediba kuli diedo.

which God will, in due time make visible; God the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords;

16 Wani yua n ki pia kuuma, ki ye ya yenma n gagidi nni, oba kuli nki la yua ki kan fidi ki le o mo, wani yua n die ti kpiagidi leni u paalu ŋali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōnios g166)

who only is incorruptible, and dwelleth in light to which no one can approach; and whom no man hath seen, or even can see: to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Han tundi ya nifiima n tie na piada ke ban da tua japaadanba. Ki da kuani bi suginma bi piama nni, ama ban kuani ma U Tienu yaa niinni, wani yua n puuni ti li bonla kuli ŋali ke li kandi ke tin ya pia li pamanli. (aiōn g165)

Charge the rich of this world, that they be not uplifted in their minds; and that they confide not in riches, in which is no security; but in the living God, who giveth us all things abundantly for our comfort: (aiōn g165)

18 Han waani ba ban ya tiedi mi ŋanma, ki ya pia a tuonŋama, ti bulicindi ki ya puuni.

and that they do good works, and be rich in well-doings; and be ready to give and to communicate:

19 Ban ya tiedi yeni ki biliti bi yula po o ŋalimanmoano ya yogunu n ba ti cua po ki fidi ki cuo li miamoanli.

and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life.

20 Fini Timote ŋan ya gu U Tienu pianli ki foagidi leni bi nisaaliba n pia ya niama ke maa ŋua i moamoani.

O Timothy, be careful of that which is committed to thee; and shun vain words, and the oppositions of false science:

21 Bi nitianba ŋoadi laa bonla ki yaadi ki ŋa li dandanli. U Tienu ŋanbili n yaa ye leni yi kuli.

for they who profess it, have erred from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
