1 Timothy 6
1 All who are bound under slavery should consider their masters worthy of respect, so that God's name and Christian beliefs won't be defamed.
LADU kan karos en wauneki melel ar saumas akan, pwe mar en Kot o lamalam der lalauela.
2 Slaves who have Christian masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead they should serve them even better, because those who are benefiting from their service are fellow-believers they should love. Teach these instructions, and encourage people to follow them.
A irail me ar saumas akan kin poson ren der mamale kin ir aki ar saulang, a mak eta ren peiki ong irail, pweki ar lelapok o kompokelar. Mepukat padapadakiki o panauiki.
3 Those that teach different beliefs, and don't listen to good counsel, particularly the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the true teachings of God,
A ma amen kin wia eu padak toror, o a sota pan dadaurata masan mau en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus o lamalam, me kon ong Kot,
4 are arrogant and don't understand anything. They're obsessed with speculation and philosophical debates which only lead to jealousy, arguments, malicious gossip and evil suspicions—
Nan a aklapalap o sota weweki meakot, a somauki akamai o lokaia sued, me kin kareda peirin, kapei lokaia, lalaue, o karaune mal.
5 the constant arguing of people whose minds are totally corrupt and who have lost the truth, thinking that they can profit financially from religion…
O song en akamai en aramas akan, me kin suedela ni lol arail, re liki sang melel, re kiki ong, me pai ren Kot pan kareda kapwa.
6 But knowing and following God is so incredibly satisfying!
A pai ren Kot o lolapot, iei me pai kasampwalia.
7 For we didn't bring anything into the world, and we can't take anything out with us either.
Pwe sota, me kitail wa dong sappa a sansal, me kitail pil sota pan wawei sang meakot.
8 But if we have food and clothes then that's enough for us.
A ma kan atail kisin manga o at likau mia, kitail en insenemauki.
9 Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
A irail, me inong iong kapwapwala, pan lodi ong songesong, o kotauepa kan, o inong sued, o kamatok, me kakirdilang aramas akan, wasan kamekam o sued.
10 For the desire to be rich leads to many kinds of evil results. Some of those who longed for this have turned away from the truth, and have hurt themselves, experiencing a lot of pain.
Pwe limpok ong moni me tapin song sued karos, me akai inong iong, rap salongala sang poson o kare ong pein irail kamadak toto.
11 But you as a man of God should run away from such things. You should seek to do what is right, practice true religion, and trust in God. Aim to love, to be patient, and gentle.
A koe aramas en Kot amen, tang wei sang mepukat, a inong iong me pung o pai ren Kot, poson, limpok, kanongama, opampap en Ngen.
12 Fight the good fight as you trust in God. Hold on tightly to the eternal life to which you were called. This is what you promised to do in front of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Wiada pei mau en poson, aneki maur soutuk, me koe pil paeker ong o kadededa kadede mau o mon saunkadede toto. (aiōnios g166)
13 My charge to you before God the Life-giver, and before Christ Jesus who testified to the good news before Pontius Pilate,
I kakaliki ong uk mon Kot, me kotin kamaureda meakaros o mon Kristus Iesus, me kotin kadededa mon Pontius Pilatus kadede mau o.
14 is to follow faithfully what you've been told so you will be above criticism until our Lord Jesus Christ appears.
Koe en kanikid kusoned, o so samin, o so sapung, lao en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus a kotin pwarado,
15 At the right time Jesus will be revealed—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
Me Kaun iasanai pan kasansaleda ni a ansau, iei Nanmarki en nanmarki kan o Kaun en kaun akan,
16 He is the only one who is immortal, and lives in unapproachable light. No one has seen him or can see him—honor and eternal power is his! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Pwe i eta ieias soutuk, me kotikot nan marain, me sota meamen kak ong, me sota aramas kilanger, o so kak kilang, i en waunla manaman soutuk! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Warn those who are rich in the present world not to become proud. Tell them not to place their trust in wealth that is so insecure but in God who so freely gives us everything for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
Koe en kapung ong me kapwapwaki dipisou en sappa et, me re der aklapalap o pil der kaporoporeki kapwa somelel, a Kot, me kupurai ong kitail sapan meakan karos, pwe kitail en paie kida. (aiōn g165)
18 Tell them to do good, and to become rich in doing good things, ready to share what they have, and to be generous.
Irail en dadaureta ni arail wiawia mau kan, o ren rokekila dok mau kan, o nek pasang, o sapan men sauasa.
19 In this way they store up treasure that will provide a solid basis for the future, so that they can take hold of true life.
Wiawia ong pein irail pason mau eu o ki pena ong ansau kokodo pwe irail en konodi maur melel.
20 Timothy, take care of what's been given to you. Don't pay any attention to pointless chatter and arguments based on so-called “knowledge.”
O Timoteus, pereki pai, me pangalang re om, ni om liki sang poupou mal kai o padak likam en me aklolekong.
21 Some who promote these ideas have wandered away from their trust in God. May grace be with you.
Me akai lodi ong ap salongala sang poson. Mak o en me re om!
