Προς Τιμοθεον Α΄ 6
1 Ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι, τοὺς ἰδίους δεσπότας πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίους ἡγείσθωσαν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται.

2 οἱ δὲ πιστοὺς ἔχοντες δεσπότας μὴ καταφρονείτωσαν, ὅτι ἀδελφοί εἰσιν· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον δουλευέτωσαν, ὅτι πιστοί εἰσιν καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι. Ταῦτα δίδασκε καὶ παρακάλει.

3 εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσιν λόγοις τοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ τῇ κατ᾽ εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ,
Mme bangwe ba ka gana dilo tse, mme ke dithuto tse di nonofileng tse di tshedileng tsa Morena Jesu Keresete ebile ke motheo wa botshelo jwa Semodimo.
4 τετύφωται, μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλὰ νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας, ἐξ ὧν γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί,
Le fa e le mang yo o buang sengwe se sele se se farologanyeng le se, o a ikgantsha ebile o seeleele. O tila se mafoko a ga Keresete a se rayang le dikganetsanyo tse di felelang mo mafufeng le mo bosilong, tse di isang fela mo go bidiweng ka maina a e seng one, dipateletso le dipelaelo tse di bosula.
5 διαπαρατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν.
Baganetsi ba, ba ditlhaloganyo tsa bone di bo filweng ke sebe, ga ba itse go bolela boammaruri; mo go bone go bolela Mafoko a a Molemo ke leano la go dira madi fela. Ikgapheng mo go bone.
6 ἔστιν δὲ πορισμὸς μέγας ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας.
A o batla go huma? O setse o humile fa o itumela ebile o siame.
7 οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα·
Le gone ebile ga re a ka ra tla le madi fa re tla mo lefatsheng leno gape ga re kake ra tsaya le fa e le ledinyana le le lengwe fa ree swa.
8 ἔχοντες δὲ διατροφὰς καὶ σκεπάσματα, τούτοις ἀρκεσθησόμεθα.
Jalo re tshwanetse go itumela fela kwa ntle ga madi fa re na le dijo le diaparo tse di lekanyeng.
9 οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι πλουτεῖν ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν καὶ παγίδα καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς, αἵτινες βυθίζουσιν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν.
Mme batho ba ba eletsang go huma ka bonako ba simolola go dira mefuta yotlhe ya dilo tse di sa siamang gore ba bone madi, dilo tse di ba utlwisang botlhoko di bile di sulafatsa ditlhaloganyo tsa bone mme kwa bofelong di ba ise kwa moleting.
10 ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστιν ἡ φιλαργυρία, ἧς τινες ὀρεγόμενοι ἀπεπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως καὶ ἑαυτοὺς περιέπειραν ὀδύναις πολλαῖς.

11 Σὺ δέ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε, δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πραϋπάθειαν·

12 ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως, ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, εἰς ἣν ἐκλήθης καὶ ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων. (aiōnios g166)
Tlhabanela Modimo thata. Tshwara thata botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo Modimo o bo go neileng, jo o bo ipoleletseng ka boipolelo jo bogolo mo ponong ya basupi ba le bantsi. (aiōnios g166)
13 παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζωογονοῦντος τὰ πάντα καὶ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν,
Ke go laya fa pele ga Modimo o o nayang botlhe botshelo, le fa pele ga ga Ponto Pilatwe,
14 τηρῆσαί σε τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον ἀνεπίλημπτον μέχρι τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ,

15 ἣν καιροῖς ἰδίοις δείξει ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος δυνάστης, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων,
Gonne mo lobakeng lo lo tshwanetseng, Keresete o tlaa senolwa mo legodimong ke Modimo Mothatayotlhe, Kgosi ya dikgosi le Morena wa Barena,
16 ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται, ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος αἰώνιον· ἀμήν. (aiōnios g166)
yo ka esi a se ka keng a swa, yo o nnang mo leseding le legolo le go senang ope yo o ka mo atamelang. Ga go na ope yo o kileng a mmona, kgotsa yo o tlaa mmonang. Mo go ene a go nne tlotlo le nonofo e e sa feleng le puso ka metlha le metlha. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε μὴ ὑψηλοφρονεῖν, μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ θεῷ τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν πάντα πλουσίως εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν· (aiōn g165)
Bolelela ba ba humileng gore ba se ka ba ikgantsha le go ikanya madi a bone, a a tlogang a nyelela ka bonako, mme boikgantsho jwa bone le boikanyo bo tshwanetse go nna mo Modimong o o tshelang o o re nayang tsotlhe tse re di tlhokang ka metlha yotlhe go di itumelela. (aiōn g165)
18 ἀγαθοεργεῖν, πλουτεῖν ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς, εὐμεταδότους εἶναι, κοινωνικούς,
Ba bolelele gore ba dirise madi a bone go dira tshiamo. Ba tshwanetse go huma mo ditirong tse di molemo mme ba naya ka boitumelo ba ba tlhokang, ba aga ba ipaakanyeditse go abalana le ba bangwe sengwe le sengwe se Modimo o se ba neileng.
19 ἀποθησαυρίζοντας ἑαυτοῖς θεμέλιον καλὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται τῆς ὄντως ζωῆς.
Ka go dira jalo ba tlaa bo ba ipolokela dikhumo kwa legodimong, ke yone fela polokelo ya bosakhutleng! Mme ba tlaa tshela botshelo jwa Sekeresete jo bo nang le maungo mono lefatsheng le kwa legodimong.
20 Ὦ Τιμόθεε, τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον, ἐκτρεπόμενος τὰς βεβήλους κενοφωνίας, καὶ ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως,
Oo, Timotheo, o se ka wa tlhoka go dira dilo tse, tse Modimo o di go neetseng. Ikgaphe mo dikganetsanyong tsa boeleele le mo go ba ba ipelafatsang ka “kitso” ya bone mme seo se supa fa ba sena nayo.
21 ἥν τινες ἐπαγγελλόμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἠστόχησαν. Ἡ χάρις μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν. ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΝ Αʹ.
Bangwe ba batho ba, ba latlhegetswe ke selo sa botlhokwa mo botshelong, ga ba itse Modimo. A kutlwelo botlhoko ya Modimo e nne mo go wena.
