1 Timothy 6
1 Jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí i ṣe ẹrú lábẹ́ ìsìnrú máa ka àwọn olówó tí ó ni wọ́n yẹ sí ọlá gbogbo, kí a má bà á sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí orúkọ Ọlọ́run àti ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ̀.
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 Àwọn ti ó ní ọ̀gá onígbàgbọ́, kí wọn má ṣe ṣàìbọ̀wọ̀ fún wọn nítorí tí wọn jẹ́ arákùnrin; ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn túbọ̀ máa sìn wọ́n, nítorí àwọn tí í ṣe alábápín iṣẹ́ rere wọn jẹ́ onígbàgbọ́ àti olùfẹ́. Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni kí ó máa kọ́ ni, kí o sì máa fi gbani níyànjú.
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 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń kọ́ni ní ẹ̀kọ́ mìíràn, ti kò sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ ti ó yè kooro, ti Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, àti ẹ̀kọ́ ti ó bá ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run mu,
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, (logos) even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 Ó gbéraga, kò mọ̀ nǹkan kan, bí kò ṣe ìyànjú àti ìjà nípa ọ̀rọ̀ èyí tí ó ń mú ìlara, ìjà, ọ̀rọ̀ búburú wá,
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil questionings,
5 àti ọ̀rọ̀ àríyànjiyàn àwọn ènìyàn ọlọ́kàn èérí ti kò sí òtítọ́ nínú wọn, tiwọn ṣe bí ọ̀nà sí èrè ni ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run; yẹra lọ́dọ̀ irú àwọn wọ̀nyí.
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run pẹ̀lú ìtẹ́lọ́rùn èrè ńlá ni.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 Nítorí a kò mú ohun kan wá sí ayé, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò sì lè mu ohunkóhun jáde lọ.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 Bí a sì ni oúnjẹ àti aṣọ, ìwọ̀nyí yẹ́ kí ó tẹ́ wa lọ́rùn.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ń fẹ́ di ọlọ́rọ̀ a máa bọ́ sínú ìdánwò àti ìdẹ̀kùn, àti sínú òmùgọ̀ ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ púpọ̀ tí í pa ni lára, irú èyí tí ó máa ń ri ènìyàn sínú ìparun àti ègbé.
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 Nítorí ìfẹ́ owó ni gbòǹgbò ohun búburú gbogbo; èyí tí àwọn mìíràn ń lépa tí a sì mú wọn ṣìnà kúrò nínú ìgbàgbọ́, wọ́n sì fi ọ̀pọ̀ ìbànújẹ́ gún ara wọn lọ́kọ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, sá fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí; kí ó sì máa lépa òdodo, ìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run, ìgbàgbọ́, ìfẹ́ sùúrù, ìwà tútù.
But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, (agape) patience, meekness.
12 Máa ja ìjà rere ti ìgbàgbọ́, di ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun mú nínú èyí tí a pè ọ sí, ti ìwọ sì ṣe ìjẹ́wọ́ rere níwájú ẹlẹ́rìí púpọ̀. (aiōnios g166)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, unto which you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 Mo pàṣẹ fún ọ níwájú Ọlọ́run, tí ń sọ ohun gbogbo di ààyè, àti níwájú Jesu Kristi, ẹni tí ó jẹ́rìí níwájú Pọntiu Pilatu,
I give you charge in the sight of God, who replenishes life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 kí ìwọ pa àṣẹ wọ̀nyí mọ́ ní àìlábàwọ́n, ní àìlẹ́gàn, títí di ìfarahàn Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
That you keep this commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Èyí ti yóò fihàn ní ìgbà tirẹ̀, Ẹni tí í ṣe Olùbùkún àti Alágbára kan ṣoṣo náà, ọba àwọn ọba, àti Olúwa àwọn Olúwa.
Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Ẹnìkan ṣoṣo tí ó jẹ àìkú, tí ń gbé inú ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí a kò lè súnmọ́, ẹni tí ènìyàn kan kò rí rí, tí a kò sì lè rí: ẹni tí ọlá àti agbára títí láé ń ṣe tirẹ̀. Àmín. (aiōnios g166)
Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Kìlọ̀ fún àwọn tí ó lọ́rọ̀ ní ayé ìsinsin yìí kí wọn ma ṣe gbéraga, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí wọn má ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ àìdánilójú, bí kò ṣe lé Ọlọ́run alààyè, tí ń fi ohun gbogbo fún wa lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ láti lò; (aiōn g165)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 kí wọn máa ṣoore, kí wọn máa pọ̀ ní iṣẹ́ rere, kí wọn múra láti pín fún ni, kí wọn ni ẹ̀mí ìbá kẹ́dùn;
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 kí wọn máa to ìṣúra ìpìlẹ̀ rere jọ fún ara wọn dé ìgbà tí ń bọ̀, kí wọn lè di ìyè tòótọ́ mú.
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20 Timotiu, máa ṣọ ohun tí a fi sí ìkáwọ́ rẹ, yà kúrò nínú ọ̀rọ̀ asán àti ìjiyàn ohun tí a ń fi èké pè ni ìmọ̀;
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 èyí tí àwọn ẹlòmíràn jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ṣìnà ìgbàgbọ́. Kí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
