1 Timoti 6

1 Hagi hakare mono nentahi'za zago e'ori kazokzo eri'za enerimo'za kva vahezamia razampi antahinezamisage'za, nege'za Anumzamofo agi'ane, tagrama knare kema rempima hunezamuna kea huhavizana osugahaze.

All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the name of God, and our teaching, may not be maligned.

2 Iza'o amentintima nehania ne'mo kva'a mani'nesigeno'a, kea ruha'ontagino, na'ankure zamagra neramafuze. Hianagi hakare zupa knare hu'za eriza'zmia eriho, na'ankure e'ima e'nerina eri'zana amentinti nehigeta tavesi'nentona kva ne'mo azahuzana erigahie. Ama'i naneke rempi hunezminka zamasmio.

Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are also followers of Christ, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians.

3 Hanki mago'a vahe'mo havige naneke nehnigeno, Ranti Jisas Kraisi nanekene, mago'zahu nosnigenka, e'inahu nanekemo'a knare Anumzamofo avu'ava enena trago'otene,

Anyone who teaches otherwise, and refuses their assent to sound instruction – the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the teaching of religion,

4 agra agu'agesa eri antemrenerino mago'zana antahi ama nosie, hianagi agra mago arimpa osu nanekere agenoka nehuno, nanekegu ke hakare nehigeno, e'i anampinti'ma efore hiana rumofo zanku kesane nehuno, fra nevzino, rimpa oti'oti nehinkeno, vahe'ku huhaviza hunenteno, vahe antahi haviza hunenteno,

is puffed up with conceit, not really knowing anything, but having a morbid craving for discussions and arguments. Such things only give rise to envy, quarreling, recriminations, base suspicions,

5 maka'zupa zamagu'amo knare osu'nea vahe'ene fra nevziza, zamagu zamagesamo haviza hu'nea vahe'mo'za tamage kea nosaze. Zamagrama antahi'zana Anumzamofo nanekefintira feno erisanti haregahune nehaze.

and incessant wrangling on the part of these corrupt-minded people who have lost all hold on the truth, and who think of religion only as a source of gain.

6 Ana hu'neanagi Anumzamofo avu'ava'ma nehu'za agazone hu'za mani'snamo'za, knare zantfa erigahaze.

Of course religion is a great source of gain – when combined with contentment!

7 Kasema nerantageta ama mopafina mago'zana erineta ome'none, hagi ama mopama atresuta mago'zana erita ovugahune.

For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.

8 Hagi ne'zantine kukenatima me'nenigeta, e'i ana zankura agazone huta nemanita muse hanune.

So, with food and shelter, we will be content.

9 Ana hianagi feno vahe maniku hanaza vahe'mo'za, rezmatagafi evurami'za krifu aheaza hanageno, maka havi avu'avazamofo zamesizampi negi vahe kna nehu'za, zamazeri haviza huzante kezmasane hanageno, ana vahera zamahe haviza huno havi kampi zamavreno uramigahie.

Those who want to be rich fall into the net of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into destruction and ruin.

10 Zagogu avesi avesihu avu'avazamo'a maka havi avu'avazamofo agafa'e. Mago'a vahe'mo'za zagogu nehakre'za zamentintia atre'za afete nevazageno, zamasuzamo manizazamifina agonazamo kota zamaheankna nehie.

Love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith, and have been pierced to the heart by many a regret.

11 Hu'neanagi havizampintira atrenka nefrenka, Anumzamofo vahe mani'nananki, fatgo zanke nehunka, Anumzamofo avu'ava nehunka, kamentintia nehunka, vahera kavesi nezmantenka, hanavetinka nevunka fru hunka manio.

But you must, servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.

12 Kamentintimofo hara knare ha' nehunka, kagima higenka manivava asimu'ma eri'nanana azeri hanavetio, hakare vahe zamufi kagra ko huama hu'nane. (aiōnios g166)

Run the great race of the faith, and win the eternal life. It was for this that you received the call, and, in the presence of many witnesses, made the great profession of faith. (aiōnios g166)

13 Nagra Anumzamofo avufi negasamue, maka'zama asimu ami'nea ne'ene, Krais Jisasi tamage kema Pontias Pailoti avufima huama hu'negu,

I beg you, as in the sight of God, the source of all life, and of Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the great profession of faith –

14 kagra ana kasegea eri haviza osunka kva hu'negeno, tagri Rantimo Jisas Kraisi efore hino.

I implore you to keep his command free from stain or reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Agra knama ante'nere fatgo huno egahie, Agrake asomu'ane vugota hu'nea kva ne'ma (sovereign) kinimo'kizmi Kinie, ramokizmi Rane.

This will be brought about in his own time by the one ever-blessed Potentate, the king of all kings and Lord of all lords,

16 Agrake'za ofrino manivava hugahie. Tusi'a masa'afi mani'neankiza vahe'mo'za urva'o osugahaze. Mago'mo'e huno onkeneanki'za onkegahaze. Agripina Ra agine, hanave'anena mevava hugahie. Tamage. (aiōnios g166)

who alone is possessed of immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or ever can see – to whom be ascribed honor and power for ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Ama mopafi feno vahe mani'naza vahera huzamasmige'za, ana fenozantera zamufa ra osu'za, ana fenozantera zamentinti osiho, hianagi Anumzamofonte zamentintia hiho, Agrama maka'zama tamigeta enerunazanku huta muse hugahune. (aiōn g165)

Teach those who are wealthy in this life not to pride themselves, or fix their hopes, on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but on God, who gives us a wealth of enjoyment on every side. (aiōn g165)

18 Zamagrira huzamasmige'za knare'za nehu'za, knare eri'zamo fenozamigna hanige'za, atupama hu'nesaza vahema zamaza hu'zanku nentahi'za, feno zamia retro hiho.

Teach them to show kindness, to exhibit a wealth of good actions, to be open-handed and generous,

19 E'inama hanu'za, zamagra henka'a esnia knafima erisnaza zamofo agafa'a knare hu'za eri atru nehu'za, ana hu'za azerisaza zanteti tamage mani'zana erigahaze.

storing up for themselves what in the future will prove to be a good foundation, so that they may gain the only true life.

20 Hagi Timotiga, Anumzamo antahi kamino kami'nea eri'zantera kvagri fatgo huo, avufa'a omne'nea nanekegu hafra hugante'nazana, kamefi hunezminka havigema hanaza vahera antahi'ozamio.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane prattle and contradictions of what some miscall ‘theology,’

21 Ana nehu'za mago'amo'za zamentintia atre'za ru'are vu'naze. Anumzamofo asunku'zamo kagrane mesie.

for there are those who, while asserting their proficiency in it, have yet, as regards the faith, gone altogether astray. God bless you all.
