1 Timoty 6
1 Soa re te songa hanao ty tompo’e ho mañeva asiñe o ambanen-jokam-pañondevozañeo, soa tsy injeñe ty tahinan’ Añahare naho o fañòhañeo.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 Le o aman-tompo mpiatoo, ehe tsy haketra’e ty asiñe ama’e katao mpilongo, fe antsake te itoroñañe soa, amy te mpiato kokoañe o mpitraoke amy vokatseio. Ianaro naho osiho.
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 Aa naho eo ty mañoke raha hafa, tsy miantoke ty venten-tsaontsy nitsarae’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, naho ty fañòhañe milahatse aman-Kake,
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 ie mpibohaboha naho bahimo, mitolom-pañontane raha mampitrabike, mpifandietse saontsy, le mivariñ’ am-piriàñe, naho ali-troke naho teratera vaho kilily,
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 ie mifamotepotetse tsy vente’e am’ondaty aman-kilala vìlañeo, o kòake tsy aman-katòo, vaho atao’e te fanontonam-bara ty fañambenan-Kake.
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 Toe mampiraorao ty fañorihañe Hake an-kaehake.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Amy te tsy eo ty nindesen-tikañe ami’ty voatse toy, vaho tsy eo ty hindesen-tika hiakatse ama’e.
For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Ie aman-ko kamaeñe naho saroñe tika, le tsy iereñañe.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 Fe mijoñe am-panjiziañe naho am-pandrike naho am-pipaian-katsivokarañe naho amo raha mavoiñe mampijoro t’indaty an-karotsahañe naho an-koromahañe ao ze misalala ho mpañaleale.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 Toe vaha’ ze atao haratiañe i hatea varay, le fa nisitak’ amy fatokisañey ty ila’ o mañiriñe azeo, ie mampitsipo-batañe an-kaoreañe maro.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Aa ihe, zatovon’ Añahare, ibotitsiho le heaño ty havantañañe, ty fañorihañe Hake, ty figahiñañe, ty fikokoañe, ty fifeahañe vaho ty hamoràn-troke.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Mifanehafa amy aly soa’ i fatokisañeiy, tambozoro i haveloñe nainai’e nikanjiañe azoy, i nitaroñe’o soa añatrefam-balolombeloñe màroy. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Le afantoko ama’o am-pivazohoan’ Añahare mpameloñe ze he’e naho Iesoà Norizañe nitaroñe o talili-soa aolo’ i Pontio Pilatoo,
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 ty hambena’o tsy aman-kandra ndra fitsikoañe i nafantokey, ampara’ ty fitotsaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey,
That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 fa an-tsa do’e ty hampibentara’ i Tsitongerè tokañe andriañeñey, Mpanjaka’ o mpanjakao, Talèn-talè,
Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Ie avao ro tsy aman-kamodoañe, mimoneñe an-kazavàñe tsy lefe harineañe, mboe tsy niisa’ ondaty naho tsy mete isaheñe; ama’e ty asiñe naho ty haozarañe nainai’e. Amena. (aiōnios g166)
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Lilio o mpañaleale ami’ty haveloñe toio ty tsy hiebotsebotse, tsy hiato vara tsy azo antoke, fa aman’ Añahare veloñe mpandogologo amantika ze hene mahaehake antikañe. (aiōn g165)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 Le ty hanao soa, t’ie ho mpañaleale am-pitoloñan-tsoa, matarike, naho veka’e hanolotse,
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 mamandroñe manantañe soa mihaja ho amy añey, hamejañe i toe haveloñey.
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 O Timoty! ambeno i nafantoke ama’oy, iholiaro ze rehake borosode naho kòake naho o fifandierañe tsy vente’e atao hilalao.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Ie niantofa’ ty ila’e le fa nandrìke amo fatokisañeo. Hasoa ama’o. Amena
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
