1 Timoti 6
1 Ndị niile bụ ohu ga-ahụ ndị nwe ha dị ka ndị ekwesiri inye ugwu na nsọpụrụ, ka a ghara ikwujọ aha Chineke na ozizi anyị.
Let as many as are servants under the yoke account their own masters worthy of all honor; that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed:
2 Ndị nke nwere ndị kwere ekwe dịka ndị nwe ha ekwesighị ilelị ha anya nʼihi na ha bụ ụmụnna ha. Kama, ha kwesiri ijere ndị nwe ha ozi nke ọma karịa, nʼihi na ndị na-erite uru nʼọrụ ha bụ ndị kwere ekwe bụrụkwa ndị anyị hụrụ nʼanya. Ihe ndị a ka ị ga-akụziri ha, dụkwaa ha ọdụ banyere ime nke a.
and let not those who have believing masters, despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them more readily, because they are faithful and beloved by God, partakers of his grace.
3 Onye ọbụla na-ezi ihe ọzọ nke na-adabaghị nʼokwu ezi ntọala na-enye ndụ nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, ya na ozizi nke ibi ndụ kwesiri onye nke Chineke,
These things teach and exhort. If any one teach otherwise, and adhere not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 bụ onye nganga na-afụli elu, ma bụrụkwa onye na-amaghị ihe. Ọchịchọ obi ya bụ nke na-ezighị ezi ma jupụtakwa nʼịrụ ụka na ekworo nke na-eweta ịkpọ asị na esemokwu, na nkwulu nakwa ajọ echiche,
he is proud, knowing nothing, but is delirious about questions and strifes of words: from which cometh envy, contention, calumnies, wicked suspicions, perverse debates of men corrupted in mind,
5 na isi ịrụ ụka niile nke na-esite nʼaka ụmụ mmadụ ndị echiche ha na-enweghịkwa eziokwu. Ha na-eche na ife Chineke bụ ụzọ e si aba ọgaranya.
and void of truth, accounting gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 Ma ikpere Chineke bara uru nke ukwuu nye onye nwere afọ ojuju nʼihe ọbụla o nwere.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Nʼihi na o nweghị ihe anyị ji nʼaka mgbe anyị bịara nʼụwa, otu a kwa, o nweghị ihe anyị ga-ewerekwa mgbe anyị ga-esi nʼụwa pụọ.
For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out:
8 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na anyị enwe ihe oriri na uwe anyị ji ekpuchi ọtọ anyị, afọ kwesiri iju anyị nʼihe anyị nwere.
having therefore food and raiment, let us be herewith content.
9 Ma ndị na-achọ ịba ọgaranya na-adaba nʼọnwụnwa na nʼime ọnya na ọtụtụ ihe nzuzu na ọchịchọ ọjọọ niile dị iche iche nke na-enubanye ha nʼịla nʼiyi na mbibi.
But they, that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into ruin and perdition.
10 Nʼihi na ịhụ ego nʼanya bụ mgbọrọgwụ nke ime ihe ọjọọ niile dị iche iche. Ụfọdụ ndị hụrụ ego nʼanya, ndị na-achọsi ya ike, adapụla nʼokwukwe ha, si otu a tinye onwe ha nʼọtụtụ ọnọdụ na-ewetara ha obi ọjọọ na iru ụjụ.
For the love of money is the root of all evils, which some coveting after have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Ma gị bụ onye nke Chineke, gbaara ihe ndị a niile ọsọ. Ma chụsoo ezi omume na iyi Chineke, na okwukwe, na ịhụnanya, na ntachiobi, na ịdị nwayọ.
But do thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, piety, fidelity, love, patience, meekness.
12 Na-agbasi mgba ọma nke okwukwe gị ike, jidesiekwa ndụ ebighị ebi ahụ aka ike bụ nke a kpọrọ gị oku maka ya mgbe i mere ezi nkwupụta gị nʼihu ọtụtụ ndị akaebe. (aiōnios g166)
Maintain the glorious combat of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast made a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Nʼihu Chineke, onye na-enye ihe niile ndụ, na nʼihu Kraịst Jisọs onye gbara ama nkwupụta ọma nʼihu Pọntiọs Pailet. Ana m enye gị iwu
I charge thee before God, who giveth life to all, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed a good confession before Pontius Pilate,
14 ka i debezuo ihe niile e nyere nʼiwu na-enweghị ntụpọ ọbụla maọbụ ịta ụta ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst ga-apụta ihe.
that thou keep this commandment, unspotted and blameless, till the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 Nke a ga-emezu mgbe oge zuru site nʼike ya, Chineke, onye dị ngọzị na onye naanị ya na-achị, Eze kachasị eze niile, na Onyenwenụ kachasị ndị nwenụ niile.
which He will manifest in his own times, who is the blessed and only potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
16 Onye naanị ya na-adịghị anwụ anwụ. Onye na-ebikwa nʼime ìhè nke mmadụ ọbụla na-apụghị ịbịaru nso. Onye mmadụ ọbụla na-ahụbeghị anya mgbe ọbụla, onye a na-apụghịkwa ịhụ anya. Ọ bụ ya ka nsọpụrụ na ike dịrị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Nye ndị bụ ọgaranya nʼoge ugbu a iwu ka ha ghara ịnya isi, maọbụ tụkwasị obi ha nʼakụnụba, nke a na-ejighị aka. Kama ka ntụkwasị obi ha dịrị na Chineke onye na-enyezu anyị ihe niile site nʼakụ ya nʼihi ime anyị obi ụtọ. (aiōn g165)
Charge them, that are rich in this world, not to be high-minded nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who richly affords us all things for enjoyment: charge them to do good, (aiōn g165)
18 Gwa ha ka ha na-eme ezi ihe, ka ha bụrụ ọgaranya nʼọrụ ọma niile, ka ha nwee obiọma na inyere ndị ọzọ aka, dịkwa njikere ikenye ndị ọzọ ihe site nʼihe ha nwere.
to be rich in good works, to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha na-akpadoro onwe ha akụ nke ga-abụrụ ha ntọala siri ike nʼọgbọ dị nʼihu, nke a ga-eme ka ha rite ndụ ahụ nke bụ ezigbo ndụ nʼuru.
treasuring up to themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may obtain eternal life.
20 Timoti chebekwa ihe ndị ahụ e nyefere gị nʼaka, wezuga onwe gị site nʼokwu nzuzu nke rụrụ arụ, na ịrụ ụka nzuzu nke ha na-akpọ ihe ọmụma,
O Timothy, keep that with which thou art entrusted, avoiding profane empty babblings, and the oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 bụ nke ụfọdụ kwupụtara, ma na ime nke a, ha esitela nʼụzọ okwukwe kpafuo. Ka amara dịnyere gị. Amen.
which some pretending to, have erred from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
