1 Timoti 6

1 Leka boonse balimunsi ejogwe mbuli bazike babone basimalelo babo kabeelela boonse bulemu. Beelede kuchita eechi kuchitila kuti izina lyaLeza alimwi aluyiisyo lutakasampawulwi.

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 may not be blasphemed.

2 Bazike bali abasimalelo babo basyoma tabeelede kutondezya kutabalemeka nkaambo mbananyina. Aboobo, beelede kubabelekela milimu mukwiindilila. Nkaambo basimalelo bagwasikana amilimu yabo mbasyomi alimwi mbayandisi. Yiisya alimwi waambe eezi zintu.

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 Na umwi wayiisya injiisyo yakubeja alimwi katazuminani amajwi aalamunse aMwaami wesu Jesu Kkilisito alimwi ayabunaleza injiisyo,

If any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 ulalisumpula alimwi takwe nchamvwisisisya pe. Uli aachiyandisyo chisofweede mukukazyanya akubonisyanya aatala amajwi ayeta lunyemo, kulwana, zisapi, kuyeeyelana bubi,

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,

5 alimwi akulwana kutamani aakati kabantu bali aabuntu bwamiyeyo mibi. Bakasweekelwa simpe alimwi bayeya kuti bunaleza ninzila yakujanisya mali nyingi. Amwi malembe achiindi alayungizizya mukulumbayizya, Musosoloke kuzwa kuzintu ziliboobu. Pesi malembe mabotu achiindi lok taajisi.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

6 Lino bunaleza buli aakukkutisikana nkulijanina kupati,

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 nkaambo takwe nchitwakeeta munyika, alimwi takwe nchiinga tulakonzya kugwisya mulinjiyo.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 Aboobo, ngatukakkutisikane achakulya akuzisamo.

And having food and raiment with these let us be content.

9 Lino aabo bayanda kuba bavubi bawida mumasunko, mukakole. Bawida mubufubafuba bwiingi amuziyandisyo zinyonyoona, alimwi kufumbwa mulizimwi zibbizya bantu mukunyonyooka amukumwaya.

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 Nkaambo luyando lwemali muyanda wamisyobo yoonse yabubi. Bamwi bantu bayiyanda bakasowegwa kulusyomo alimwi bakaliyasa akumvwa machise mapati.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 Pesi iwe, muntu waLeza, chija kulizeezi zintu. Tobela bululami, bunaleza, kusyomeka, luyando, lukakatilo, alimwi a bubombe.

But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Lwana kulwana kubotu kwalusyomo. Jatisya buumi butamani ooko nkuwakiitwa, alimwi ooko nkuwakapa kwaamba kabotu kunembo lyabakamboni biingi. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 Ndapa malayilile aaya kulinduwe kunembo lyaLeza, uupa buumi kuli zyoonse zintu, alimwi kunembi lyaKkilisito Jesu, wakaamba chakasimpe kuzumina kubotu kunembo lyaPontiyasi Pilato,

I command thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

14 kuti abambe mulawu kakutakwe kampenda na kusolwa, kusikila kukuboneka kwaMwaami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Leza uyootondezya kuboneka kwaKkilisito aachiindi cheelede - Leza, wakalongezegwa alimwi Singuzu alike, Mwaami weendelezya aMwaami uutonga.

Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 Alike utafwi alimwi uukkala mumumuni utakonzyi kuswenegwa aafwifwi. Tawo pe muntu kumubona na ukonzya kumulanga. Kulinguwe akube bulemu abweendelezi butamani. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 Mubululami layilila ibanotede munyika iino kuti batabi balisumpula alimwi batabi balangilila kubunoti, butazibinkene. Aboobo, beelede kuba aabulangilizi muliLeza. Ulapa kulindiswe toonse bunoti bwanchoonzyo kuti tunonenwe. (aiōn g165)

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)

18 Baambile bachite bubotu, banote mumilimu miubotu, akupa kwiindilide alimwi bayandisye kwaabana.

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

19 Munzila eeyo bayoolilondweda beni intalisyo mbotu yacheecho chizoosika, kuti bakalijatile buumi loko.

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

20 Timiti, kkwabilila chakapegwa kulinduwe. Kaka kubula bunaleza, kwaambula kutasalali amiyeeyo iikazyanya kulicheecho chibejelwa kuti nduzibo.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

21 Bamwi baalumi baamba eezi bakasweeka kuzwa kulusyomo. Luzyalo lube aandinywe.

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
