1 Timothawus 6

1 Vat nale na idi licin, na ini an cinilari mine uzazunu ule na ukulun, bara iwa zoguzo lisa Kutellẹ nin liru mẹ.

All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.

2 Anung acin alenge na an Cinilari mine di nin yinnu sa uyenu, zazinan nani bara na inung nuanari, na idirtin nsu nani katuwa vat, bara na an Cinilari mine anan yinnu sa uyenuari, anan su minere. Dursuzo, ubellu ile imone.

Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

3 Asa umon dursuzo imoin imon ugang, na ayina nin liru ucine bite ba, ulirun Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi, nin dursuzun liru ucine.

If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,

4 Adin fo figiri na ayiru imon ba, unan rusuzu nanit nin suzu mayardang nin tigbulang tinanzang kika na ivira din nucuku, nin fiu kibinai, tizogo nin vuruzu unanzang,

he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,

5 a mayardang nanit asurne nin nibinai nibishe, anan diru kidegen, alenge na iyira libau Kutellẹ nafo lin sesu nikurfungha.

and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

6 Liru Kutellẹ nin kibinyi kirum useri udia.

Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 Bara natina danin mon nyaya nyi ulele ba tutung na tima nyiu nin nimon ba.

For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.

8 Nonkon nari nibineyi bite nin nimon nowo ille na tidumon nin nimon nli.

But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

9 Alenge na idunin su ise imon na cara assa ideu nanya tikanci nin libarda Nshitang, udu nanya tilalang tidiya nin kuna nizin nlanzu, nkul, umusu inrika na assi uwultino anit udu nanya nkul.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

10 Usu nikurfung unin nere ucizunun katah kananzang vat. Among allenge na ina tinibineyi ku, ina lasin nnannya nyinnu sa uyenu, ina kulzu atimine nin na buri asirne saliga.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

11 Fe unit Kutellẹ na uwa ti kibineyi fe kitene nile imone ba, pizira nlau kibineyi, udoruu Kutellẹ, uyinnu sa uyenu, usuu, nsheu kibineyi nin nonku liti.

But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

12 Su liyisin licine lin yinnu sa uyenu. Use ulai salingang ule na iwa yicilla fimu. Ukuru ubellu imong i cine nbung nan nizi iba gbardang. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 Ntafi nbun Kutellẹ unan nimon nlai vat nin kirrsifi Yesu ulenge na awa belling kidegen nbun Buntus Bilatus.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

14 Bara nani dorto udukye gegeme, sa uvurzu, udu kube ko na cikilari bite Yesua madak.

Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Udak me mayitu kubi kucine nafo na unan nmare na cheu, ame unan ulikara chas ugo unan tigo nin cikilari unan tigo.

which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.

16 Ame unan salin nkul nin nle na assosin nnanya nkanan mo na umong wanya a do kupowe ba. Na unit wanyaa ayeneghe ba sa ayeneghe piit ba uzazinu nin likara saligeng di kitime. Uso nanin. (aiōnios g166)

He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Belle anan seh nanya nyi ulele na iwa fo igiri ba, sa it nibinnei mine nimon nyi ille na ima malu. Nin nani icheu nibineyi mine kiti Kutellẹ. Ule na adin nizauri uuse kidegen vat tilanza imang. (aiōn g165)

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. (aiōn g165)

18 Belle nanin isuu imon icine, iso nan se nanya katuwa kacine, iyit washalang, nin nibineyi nnizu.

Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,

19 Nloli libower inug ma ciw atimine imon icine ule na idin cinu, ima se ullai ucine.

treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

20 Timitawus, mino ille moa na iwa nifi, suna uliru kinu nin manyardang mananza man kinu na idin suu mun uyiru.

O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”

21 Among anit din bellu alle adwade inani nazu nnanya nyinnu sa uyenu. Na ubolu Kutellẹ so nan ghinu vat.

which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
