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.

Vose varanda vari pasi pejoko rouranda vanofanira kukudza vatenzi vavo zvizere, kuitira kuti zita raMwari nedzidziso yedu zvirege kumhurwa.

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.

Avo vana vatenzi vanotenda ngavarege kuvazvidza nokuda kwokuti ihama. Asi kutoti vanofanira kuvashumira zviri nani, nokuti vaya vanobatsirwa nebasa ravo vatendi, uye vadikanwi kwavari. Izvi ndizvo zvinhu zvaunofanira kuvadzidzisa uye nokuvarayira.

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,

Kana munhu achidzidzisa dzidziso dzenhema uye asingabvumi dzidziso yakanaka yaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu uye nedzidziso youmwari,

4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

anongozvikudza uye haazivi chinhu. Anongofarira nharo nokukakavara pamusoro pamashoko asingabatsiri, anongomutsa godo, gakava, kutukana nokufungirana zvakaipa,

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.

uye nokupesana kusingaperi pakati pavanhu vane murangariro wakaora, vakabirwa zvokwadi uye vanofunga kuti umwari inzira yokuwana nayo mari.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Asi umwari nokugutsikana nezvatinazvo zvinopfumisa kwazvo.

7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

Nokuti hatina kuuya nechinhu panyika, uye hatigoniwo kubuda nechinhu kubva mairi.

8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Asi kana tine zvokudya nezvokupfeka, tichagutsikana nazvo.

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.

Vanhu vanotsvaka kupfuma vanowira mukuedzwa nomumusungo uye nomukuchiva kwoupenzi kuzhinji kunokuvadza uye kunoisa vanhu mukuparadzwa nokuraswa.

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.

Nokuti kuda mari ndiwo mudzi wezvakaipa zvose. Vamwe vanhu vanoda mari zvikuru, vakatsauka kubva pakutenda uye vakazvibaya neshungu zhinji.

11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

Asi iwe, munhu waMwari, tiza kubva pane izvi zvose, uye utevere kururama, umwari, kutenda, rudo, kutsungirira nounyoro.

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)

Irwa kurwa kwakanaka kwokutenda. Ubatisise upenyu husingaperi hwawakadanirwa kwahuri pawakapupura kupupura kwakanaka pamberi pezvapupu zvizhinji. (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,

Ndinokurayira, pamberi paMwari, anopa upenyu kuzvinhu zvose, napamberi paKristu Jesu akapupura zvakanaka paakapa uchapupu pamberi paPondio Pirato,

14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

kuti uchengete murayiro uyu, usina chinongo kana chaungapomerwa kusvikira pakuonekwa kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,

15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

uyo achazoratidzwa naMwari panguva yake iye Mwari, iye oga Mutongi akaropafadzwa, Mambo wamadzimambo naIshe wamadzishe.

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)

Iye oga ndiye asingafi uye agere pachiedza chisina angaswedera pachiri, uyo asina akambomuona kana angamuona. Kukudzwa nesimba ngazvive kwaari nokusingaperi. Ameni. (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)

Rayira vapfumi panyika ino kuti varege kuzvikudza kana kuisa tariro yavo mupfuma, isingagari, asi kuti vaise tariro yavo kuna Mwari, anotipa zvose zvizhinji kuti tifare nazvo. (aiōn g165)

18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

Varayire kuti vaite zvakanaka, uye kuti vafarire kupa vamwe uye nokugoverana.

19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

Vachazviunganidzira pfuma senheyo yakasimba kunguva dzinouya, kuti vagobatisisa upenyu hunova upenyu kwechokwadi.

20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

Timoti, chengeta icho chawakapiwa. Furatira zvokutaura mashoko asina umwari nepfungwa dzinopikisa, dzezvinonzi pakutaura kwenhema zivo,

21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

idzo dzakapupurwa navamwe uye nokudaro vakatsauka kubva pakutenda. Nyasha ngadzive newe.
