1 Timoti 6
1 Basha bonse bape bulemu bunene abo mbobalasebenselenga kwambeti, kapataba muntu eshasebanye Lina lya Lesa ne ciyisho cetu.
Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 Mobasha, na mbomulasebenselenga ni banse benu muliklistu kamutabanyanshanga cebo ca kwambeti nibaklistu banenu sobwe, amwe basebenseleni cena, pakwinga bakute kucanamo cena mu ncito shabo ni baklistu, kayi embobasuni. Kopitilisha kubeyisha malailile awa ngondakupa kwambeti bakonkelenga.
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 Muntu leyishinga bintu byapusana ne ibi, lakananga kusuminisha maswi ancinencine a Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, ne ciyisho cekatana ne buyumi bulalemekeshenga Lesa,
If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 ulico ni muntu shikulisumpula utacishi ciliconse, shikutotekowa. Ici cikute kuletowa munyono, ne kutotekeshanya, ne kutukashana, kayi ne kuyeyelana byaipa.
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 Ici cikute kuletowa kulondola pa bantu bakute miyeyo yaipa batakonsho kwishiba ca ncinencine. Balo bakute kuyeyeti kupaila Lesa ni nshila ya kucaninamo bubile.
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6 Ee, nicakubinga kupaila Lesa kukute kupa muntu kuba wakwana ne bintu mbyakute.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Sena pali cintu ncotwalaletelela pacinshi? Paliya! Sena pali cintu nceti tukamantilile pakufumapo? Paliya!
For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
8 Neco, na katukuteko cakulya, byakufwala ne pakona byopelebyo byakwana.
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 Nomba bantu bakute kuyandishisha bubile bakute kuwila mumasunko angi, ne kwikatwa mu tose twabuluya tweshikononga twalunkumbwa lwa mubili lukute kubatwala kulufu.
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 Pakwinga kusunisha mali emuyanda wa bintu bingi byaipa. Nabambi bantu pakusunisha mali balataya lushomo ne kuliletela mapensho pa mibili yabo.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 Nomba obe muntu wa Lesa, kotamantamo lubasu mu bintu byaipa. Obe lwila bululami, kulemeka Lesa, lushomo, lusuno, kutalekela pakati, ne kuba wabomba moyo.
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
12 Kolwana nkondo yaina ya lushomo, kwambeti ukatambule buyumi butapu, pakwinga ekubuyumi ubu nkwalakukuwila Lesa pasa mpowalikwambilila sha lushomo lwakobe pa menso abantu bangi. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Pamenso pali Lesa ukute kupa buyumi bintu byonse, kayi ne pamenso pa Klistu Yesu uyo walapa bukamboni bwakendi pantangalala kuli Ponsho Pilato, ndakwambileti,
I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Meshikha Yeshua, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 konkela byonse mbyowalambilwa kwinsa mwakubula kutonshanya mpaka pabusuba mbweshakabwele Mwami Yesu Klistu.
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;
15 Lesa ngobakute kulumbaisha bantu bonse, Mwendeleshi wancinencine, wa bendeleshi, Mwami wa bami bonse, endiyeti akapesheti Klistu akabwele kayi pa cindi celela.
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Lesa enkowa eutafu, ewekala mu mumuni utashikwa pepi, paliya muntu walamubonapo, kayi paliya wela kumubona. Lesa apewe bulemu, kayi shakendi ningofu shitapu kucindi ca cindi. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Bacenjesheko bantu babile mucishi kwambeti, kabatatwanga nambi kucinka manungo mububile bwela kutaika cindi ciliconse, nsombi kabashoma Lesa ukute kutupa bintu byonse mwakutandabula cikasa kwambeti afwe tukondwe nebuyumi. (aiōn g165)
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 Bambile kwambeti benshilenga byaina bantu, babe babile mu micito yaina, beshikupako banabo camoyo umo bintu mbyobakute.
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Uko ekubunganya bubile bwabo kwambeti bube pebakwa buyumi bwabo bwakuntangu mbweti bakalicanine, ee buyumi bwa ncinencine nditu.
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
20 Obe Timoti, kobamba cena bintu mbyolapewa mu makasa akobe. Talamuka ku mibandi ne kutotekeshanya kwabuluya kutalete bulemu kuli Lesa uko bantu nkobakute kuboneti, “Emano.”
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
21 Nabambi balataya lushomo cebo cakulibonesheti bakute mano amushoboyu. Nkumbo sha Lesa shibe nenjamwe.
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
