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.
As many as are servants under a yoke, let them reckon their own masters worthy of all honor, that evil may not be spoken of the Name of God and the teaching;
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 those having believing masters, do not let them slight [them], because they are brothers, but rather let them serve, because they are steadfast and beloved, who are partaking of the benefit. Be teaching and exhorting these things;
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 anyone be teaching otherwise, and does not consent to sound words—those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and to the teaching according to piety,
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 unhealthy about questions and word-striving, out of which come envy, strife, slanders, 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.
wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
6 Toe mampiraorao ty fañorihañe Hake an-kaehake.
but it is great gain—the piety with contentment;
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 the world—because neither are we able to carry out anything;
8 Ie aman-ko kamaeñe naho saroñe tika, le tsy iereñañe.
but having food and raiment—with these we will suffice ourselves;
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.
and those intending to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,
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 a root of all the evils, which certain [ones] longing for went astray 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.
and you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
12 Mifanehafa amy aly soa’ i fatokisañeiy, tambozoro i haveloñe nainai’e nikanjiañe azoy, i nitaroñe’o soa añatrefam-balolombeloñe màroy. (aiōnios g166)
Be striving the good strife of the faith; be laying hold on the continuous life to which you also were called, and did profess the right 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 charge you, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the right profession before Pontius Pilate,
14 ty hambena’o tsy aman-kandra ndra fitsikoañe i nafantokey, ampara’ ty fitotsaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey,
that you keep the command unspotted, unblameable, 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 He will show in His own times—the blessed and only sovereign, the King of the kings and Lord of the 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)
having immortality alone, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one of men saw, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honor and perpetual might! 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 those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment— (aiōn g165)
18 Le ty hanao soa, t’ie ho mpañaleale am-pitoloñan-tsoa, matarike, naho veka’e hanolotse,
to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
19 mamandroñe manantañe soa mihaja ho amy añey, hamejañe i toe haveloñey.
treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on [that which is] truly life.
20 O Timoty! ambeno i nafantoke ama’oy, iholiaro ze rehake borosode naho kòake naho o fifandierañe tsy vente’e atao hilalao.
O Timotheus, guard the thing entrusted, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
21 Ie niantofa’ ty ila’e le fa nandrìke amo fatokisañeo. Hasoa ama’o. Amena
which certain [ones] professing—swerved concerning the faith. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
