1 Timoty 6
1 Aoka izay andevo rehetra eo ambanin’ ny zioga hanao ny tompony ho miendrika hohajaina tsara, mba tsy hitenenana ratsy ny anaran’ Andriamanitra sy ny fampianarana.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God, and his teaching, be not reviled.
2 Ary izay manana tompo mino dia aoka tsy hanao tsinontsinona azy, satria rahalahy izy; fa vao mainka tokony hotompoiny aza izy, satria mino sy malala ilay mpandray ny soa atao. Izany zavatra izany no ampianaro sy ananaro.
And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren: but rather let them serve them, because they who partake of the benefit of their service, are believers and beloved brethren. These things enforce in your teaching and exhortation.
3 Raha misy olona manao fampianarana hafa noho izany ka tsy manaiky ny teny tsy misy kilema, dia ny an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, sy ny fampianarana izay mahatonga ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra,
If any one teaches other things, and does not assent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according to godliness,
4 dia mieboebo foana izy ka tsy mahalala na inona na inona, fa adala amin’ ny fiadian-kevitra sy ny fiadian-teny izay mahatonga fialonana, fifandirana, fanaratsiana, fiahiahian-dratsy,
he is mad with conceit, knowing nothing, but has a morbid fondness for questions and contentions about words, out of which come envy, strife, railing, evil suspicions,
5 fifandirana lalandava, fanaon’ ny olona vetaveta saina sady efa nialan’ ny fahamarinana, manao ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra ho fahazoan-javatra.
and wranglings, on the part of men who are corrupt in mind, and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a source of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 Fa misy tombony lehibe tokoa ny toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra omban’ ny fianinana.
But godliness, with a contented disposition, is great gain.
7 Fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona ho amin’ izao tontolo izao isika, sady hita fa tsy hahatondra na inona na inona hiala.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out.
8 Fa raha manan-kanina sy fitafiana isika, dia aoka hianina amin’ izany.
And having food and raiment, with these let us be content.
9 Ary izay ta-hanan-karena dia latsaka amin’ ny fakam-panahy sy ny fandrika ary ny filàna maro tsy misy antony sady mandratra, izay mandentika ny olona ao amin’ ny fandringanana sy ny fahaverezana.
But those who will be rich fail into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 Fa ny fitiavam-bola no fototry ny ratsy rehetra, koa ny sasany izay fatra-pitady izany dia efa voavily niala tamin’ ny finoana ka nanindrona ny tenany tamin’ ny alahelo be.
For the love of money is the root of all evil; through the desire of which, some have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Fa ianao kosa, sy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, mandosira izany zavatra izany, ka miezaha mitady fahamarinana, toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra, finoana, fitiavana, faharetana, fahalemem-panahy.
But do you, O man of God, shun these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, patience, meekness.
12 Miadia ny ady tsaran’ ny finoana, hazòny ny fiainana mandrakizay; fa ho amin’ izany no niantsoana anao koa sy nanaovanao ilay fanekena tsara teo imason’ ny vavolombelona maro. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on eternal life, to which you have been called, and for which you confessed the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Izaho mananatra anao eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra, Izay mamelona ny zavatra rehetra, ary eo anatrehan’ i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nanao ilay fanekena tsara teo anatrehan’ i Pontio Pilato,
I charge you, in the sight of God, who makes all things alive, and before Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, confessed a good confession,
14 mba hotehirizinao tsy hanan-tsiny amam-pondro hatramin’ ny fisehoan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika izany didy izany;
that you keep this commandment, so that you may be spotless and blameless till the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 ny Andriana finaritra sady tokana, Mpanjakan’ ny mpanjaka sy Tompon’ ny tompo, no haneho izany amin’ ny fotoany;
which, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Izy ihany no manana ny tsi-fahafatesana, mitoetra eo amin’ ny mazava tsy azo hatonina, Izay tsy hitan’ olona sady tsy hainy jerena; ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Anaro ny mpanankarena amin’ izao fiainana ankehitriny izao mba tsy hiavonavona, na hatoky ny harena miovaova, fa Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika malalaka ny zavatra rehetra mba hifaliantsika, (aiōn g165)
Charge those who are rich in this age, that they be not proud, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us all things richly for our enjoyment, (aiōn g165)
18 mba hanao soa, mba hanan-karena amin’ ny asa tsara, hazoto manome sy miantra,
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, liberal,
19 ka dia hihary fanorenana tsara ho an’ ny tenany ho amin’ ny andro ho avy, mba hihazonany ny tena fiainana.
treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 Ry Timoty, tehirizo ilay natolotra anao, ka mialà amin’ ny fibedibedena foana sy ny fanoherana avy amin’ izay atao hoe fahalalana, kanjo tsy izy,
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your charge, avoiding those profane and empty babblings, and disputations about knowledge falsely so called;
21 izay neken’ ny sasany, ka nania tamin’ ny finoana izy. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.
by making a profession of this knowledge, some have erred as it respects the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
