1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
Elos nukewa su mwet kohs elos in akilen lah fal elos in sunakin mwet leum lalos, tuh mwet uh in tia kaskas koluk ke Inen God ac ke kas in luti lasr.
2 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.
Ac elos su mwet kohs lun mwet lulalfongi elos in tia pilesralos, mweyen elos ma wialos in lulalfongi. Na elos in kulansupwalos in wo, mweyen elos su eis woiyen orekma lalos elos mwet lulalfongi su elos lungse. Kom enenu in luti ac fahkak kas inge.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Kutena mwet fin luti sie pacna kas in luti, ac tia insese nu ke mwe luti pwaye lun Jesus Christ Leum lasr ac kas in luti ke ouiyen alu lasr uh,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
el sie mwet filang ac wangin etu lal. El lungse kusen siyuk wel ac akukuin ke kalmen kas, ac ouiya inge purakak sok, amei, sufan, ac fweni koluk,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
ac kwacna alein yurin mwet su lofongla ac wangin pwaye yoro. Elos nunku mu alu uh mwe akkasrupye mwet.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Pwaye, alu uh oru sie mwet in arulana kasrup, el fin falkin ma su oasr yorol.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
Tuh wangin ma kut tuh us tuku nu faclu, ac wangin pac ma kut fah usla liki faclu!
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Ouinge fin oasr yorosr mwe mongo nasr ac nuknuk lasr, lela kut in falkin ma inge.
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
A elos su lungse in kasrup, elos putatyang nu in mwe sruhf, ac sremla ke lung lun ikwa puspis lun ma lalfon ac mwe fosrnga, su amakunulosi ac kunauselosla.
10 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.
Tuh lungse mani uh okan kain koluk nukewa, ac ke nunkun mani lun kutu mwet uh, oru elos fuhleak lulalfongi lalos ac sokoela nunak lalos ke mwe asor puspis.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
A kom, Timothy, kom mwet lun God, na kom in sensenkin kom liki ma inge nukewa. Kwafeang tuh kom in suwoswos, mutal, lulalfongi, lungse, muteng, ac fakpap.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Kom in sang kuiyom ke kasrusr lun lulalfongi, ac sruokya ku moul ma pahtpat su kom pangonyuk nu kac ke kom tuh pulaik in fahkak lulalfongi lom ye mutun mwet loh puspis. (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
Ye mutun God, su asang moul nu ke ma nukewa, ac ye mutun Christ Jesus, su tuh pulaik in fahkak ma el lulalfongi ye mutal Pontius Pilate, nga sap nu sum,
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
kom in liyaung ma sapkinyuk nu sum, tuh in nasnas moul lom ac wangin mwatum nu ke Len se Jesus Christ, Leum lasr, el ac sikme.
15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Sikme lal ac fah tuku ke pacl fal, su ma ac srisrngiyuki sin God — El su fal in kaksakinyuk, ac wangin pac sie Leum saya, Tokosra lun tokosra uh, ac Leum lun leum uh.
16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
El mukena pa moul oemeet me ac nu tok ma pahtpat, ac tia ku in misa. El muta in kalem su mwet uh tia ku in ngetang nu kac. Soenna oasr mwet liyal; ac wangin pac mwet ac fah ku in liyal. Lela mwet uh in akfulatyal ac etu lah ku lal oan ma pahtpat! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
Kom in sap nu selos su kasrupkin ma lun moul se inge elos in tia inse fulat, a elos in filiya finsrak lalos, tia ke mwe kasrup ma sukawil, a ke God, su ase yohk nu sesr ma nukewa in akenganye kut. (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
Sap nu selos in oru ma wo, in kasrup ke orekma wo, in insewowo in sang, ac akola in sang ma lalos in kasru mwet.
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
Elos fin oru ouinge, elos ac fah oakiya sie pwelung wo nu selos sifacna nu ke pacl fahsru, na elos fah ku in sruokya moul pwaye su moul ma pahtpat.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
Timothy, liyaung ma itukot kom in karingin. Forla liki sramsram lusrongten ac akukuin wangin sripa, ma kutu mwet uh tafongla in nunku mu “Etauk” pa ingan.
21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
Kutu mwet uh fahk mu etauk ouinge oasr selos, oru elos tuhlac liki inkanek in lulalfongi. Lungkulang lun God in wi kowos nukewa.
