< 1 Timoseewo 6 >

1 Abo bonna abali mu kikoligo ky’obuddu, basaana okussaamu bakama baabwe ekitiibwa, erinnya lya Katonda, awamu n’okuyigiriza kwaffe bireme kuvvoolebwa.
Let those who are under the yoke of servitude hold their masters in all honour, that the name of Aloha and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 Abaddu abalina bakama baabwe abakkiriza tebabanyoomanga, okubanga baganda baabwe, wabula bonna bongere bwongezi okubaweereza, kubanga bakkiriza era baagalwa, era be bayambibwa olw’okuweereza kwabwe okulungi. Bino bibayigirizenga era obibakuutirenga.
But let not those who have believing masters slight them, because they are their brethren; but serve them the more, because they are believers, and beloved who are refreshed by their ministry. These things teach and require of them.
3 Omuntu yenna bw’ayigirizanga mu ngeri endala, nga takkiriziganya na bigambo ebya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo ebireeta obulamu n’okugobereranga enjigiriza ey’okutya Katonda,
But if there be a man who teacheth other doctrine, and who accedeth not to the healthful words of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and to the doctrine of the fear of Aloha,
4 aba ajjudde okwekuluntaza era aba taliiko ky’ategeera naye aba aguddemu akazoole ak’okubuzaabuza mu buli kintu, n’okuwakana ku buli kigambo n’ekivaamu bwe buggya, n’okuyomba, n’okuvuma, n’okuwaayira,
this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,
5 n’okukaayana. Ebyo bikolebwa abantu abaayonooneka ebirowoozo, abatakyalina mazima, abalowooza ng’okufuna amagoba kwe kutya Katonda.
and conflicts of men whose minds are corrupt and deprived of the truth, and who consider that gain is the fear of Aloha.
6 Weewaawo okutya Katonda kulimu amagoba mangi, omuntu bw’amalibwa mu ekyo ky’alina.
But thou, remove thyself from them. For our gain is great which is the fear of Aloha, with the use of our sufficiency.
7 Kubanga tetulina kye twajja nakyo mu nsi, era tetuliiko kye tuliggyamu nga tuvaamu.
For nothing brought we into the world, and we know that nothing we are able to take from it.
8 Naye bwe tuba n’emmere, n’ebyokwambala ebyo bitumalenga.
Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment.
9 Abo abaagala okugaggawala bagwa mu kukemebwa ne mu katego ak’okwegomba okw’obusirusiru era okw’akabi, okunnyika abantu mu kubula ne mu kuzikirira.
But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into destruction and perdition.
10 Kubanga okululunkanira ensimbi y’ensibuko y’ebibi byonna, era olw’okululunkana okwo abamu bawabye, ne bava mu kukkiriza, ne beereetera obulumi bungi mu mitima gyabwe.
For the root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows.
11 Naye ggwe, omuntu wa Katonda, ddukanga ebintu ebyo, ogobererenga obutuukirivu, n’okutya Katonda, n’okukkiriza, n’okwagala, n’okugumiikiriza, n’obuwombeefu.
But thou, O man of God, from these things flee, and follow after righteousness, and after equity, and after faith, and after charity, and after patience, and after meekness.
12 Lwananga okulwana okulungi okw’okukkiriza, nywezanga obulamu obutaggwaawo bwe wayitirwa, n’oyatula okwatula okulungi mu maaso g’abajulirwa abangi. (aiōnios g166)
And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Nkukuutira mu maaso ga Katonda, awa byonna obulamu, ne mu maaso ga Kristo Yesu eyayatula okwatula okulungi mu maaso ga Pontiyo Piraato,
I ATTEST thee before Aloha, who vivifieth all, and Jeshu Meshiha, who witnessed before Pontius Pilatos the good testimony,
14 okuumenga ekiragiro nga tekiriiko bbala, wadde eky’okunenyezebwa okutuusa ku kulabika kwa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo,
that thou keep (this) commandment without spot and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
15 kw’aliraga mu ntuuko zaakwo, aweebwa omukisa era nnannyini buyinza yekka, Kabaka wa bakabaka bonna, era Mukama wa bakama,
whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 ye yekka atafa era atuula mu kwakaayakana okutasemberekeka, era tewali n’omu yali amulabye, so tewali asobola kumulaba, oyo aweebwe ekitiibwa, n’obuyinza obutaggwaawo, Amiina. (aiōnios g166)
he who only is incorruptible, and (who) dwelleth in light which no man can approach; whom no man of men hath seen, nor is able to see: to him be honour and power for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Okuutirenga abagagga ab’omu mirembe gya kaakano, obuteekuluntaza, wadde okwesiga obugagga kubanga si bwa lubeerera, wabula beesige Katonda atuwa byonna olw’okwesanyusanga, (aiōn g165)
The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; (aiōn g165)
18 bakole ebirungi, babe bagagga mu bikolwa ebirungi, nga bagabi, era abaagala okugabana n’abalala.
and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,
19 Bwe batyo beeterekere obugagga obw’engeri eyo nga gwe musingi omulungi ogw’ebiseera ebigenda okujja, balyoke banywezenga obulamu bwennyini.
and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20 Timoseewo, kuumanga kye wateresebwa. Weewalenga ebigambo ebivvoola, era ebitaliimu nsa, n’empaka ez’ebigambo ebiyitibwa eby’amagezi naye nga bya bulimba,
O Timothy, watch over that which is confided to thee, and fly from vain words, and the turnings of false knowledge.
21 abantu abamu ge balowooza okuba nago, ne basubwa ekigendererwa mu kukkiriza. Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe.
For they who pursue it err from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
