1 Timothy 6
1 All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the name of God, and our teaching, may not be maligned.
Hambu tuan aten ruma mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ara musi fee hadꞌa-hormat neu tuan na, naa fo atahori deaꞌ ra nda hambu dalaꞌ fo olaꞌ raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ Lamatualain naran, ma nda raloe-radꞌae hita nenorin sa.
2 Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are also followers of Christ, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians.
Hambu ate ruma tuan na namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ate ra nda bole raloe-radꞌae tuan naa, huu namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ara musi mete-seꞌu malolole lenaꞌ tuan nara, huu basa sira atahori mamahereꞌ, de musi rasodꞌa esa sue esa. Tius! Munori basa ia ra, ma huhuar jamaꞌat ra fo tao tungga basa naa ra.
3 Anyone who teaches otherwise, and refuses their assent to sound instruction – the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the teaching of religion,
Hita nenori matetun, dadꞌi netehuuꞌ mia dala masodꞌaꞌ fo tao nemehoꞌo Lamatuaꞌ ralan. Te atahori mana nanori fea no ia, ara piru hendi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Kristus nenori matetun ena.
4 is puffed up with conceit, not really knowing anything, but having a morbid craving for discussions and arguments. Such things only give rise to envy, quarrelling, recriminations, base suspicions,
Atahori mataꞌ naa, koao, te uta nara rouꞌ! Sira hedꞌin, naeni hiiꞌ a sangga netofaꞌ ma nereresiꞌ dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ ra. Basa ia ra tao fee atahori ralan mera, ratofa, tao ralutu atahori laen nara malolen, ma rundu salaꞌ neu atahori laen.
5 and incessant wrangling on the part of these corrupt-minded people who have lost all hold on the truth, and who think of religion only as a source of gain.
Atahori mataꞌ naa ra akaꞌ taoꞌ a nemuet rakandooꞌ a. Rala nara deꞌulakaꞌ. Nda rahine bee maloleꞌ sa ena. Ara duꞌa rae mete ma sira nggate-nggate ro agama, na ramasuꞌi.
6 Of course religion is a great source of gain – when combined with contentment!
Memaꞌ, agama bisa tao atahori duꞌa rae sira ramasuꞌi. Huu, mete ma tasodꞌa tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun ma tamedꞌa saa fo hita taꞌenaꞌ naa dai ena, naa fo agama matetuꞌ!
7 For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.
Misinedꞌa malolole! Leleꞌ bꞌonggi hita, nda tendi saa nisiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia sa boe. Ma mete ma hita mate o, nda tendi saa mia raefafoꞌ ia sa boe.
8 So, with food and shelter, we will be content.
Dadꞌi, sadꞌi nanaat no bꞌua-bꞌaꞌus dai, naa dai ena!
9 Those who want to be rich fall into the net of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into destruction and ruin.
Te atahori mana nae namasuꞌi, ana hambu sosobꞌaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ no mudꞌaꞌ, losa ana tudꞌa nenenoreꞌ mia dꞌii-ona, huu duꞌa a hata-hetoꞌ a. Basa naa ra rendi sosoeꞌ ma ralutu masodꞌa nara.
10 Love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith, and have been pierced to the heart by many a regret.
Te sue dꞌoiꞌ naa, dadꞌi okaꞌ mia basa tatao deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ ra. Hambu atahori ruma sangga dꞌoiꞌ onaꞌ naa, de ara dinggoꞌ raꞌadꞌodꞌoꞌ mia nemehere matetu nara. No taꞌo naa, ralutu baliꞌ sira masodꞌan.
11 But you must, servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
Timotius! Ho ia, Lamatualain enan. Dadꞌi dinggoꞌ muꞌudꞌodꞌoꞌ mia basa deꞌulakaꞌ ra. Musodꞌa meumareꞌ. Musodꞌa tao nemehoꞌo Lamatualain ralan sia basa dalaꞌ ra. Mumuhere mukundoo neu Yesus Kristus. Sue basa atahori. Muꞌutataaꞌ sia sususaꞌ. Musodꞌa maloleꞌ mo basa atahori.
12 Run the great race of the faith, and win the eternal life. It was for this that you received the call, and, in the presence of many witnesses, made the great profession of faith. (aiōnios g166)
Muꞌutataaꞌ tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ, fo munori basa nenoriꞌ fo hita tamahereꞌ a. Lamatualain noꞌe nggo misiꞌ masodꞌaꞌ nda mana basaꞌ sa. Ma mufadꞌe nemehere ma neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus taꞌo naa sia atahori hetar matan. De holu mihereꞌ masodꞌaꞌ naa, afiꞌ mboꞌi e. (aiōnios g166)
13 I beg you, as in the sight of God, the source of all life, and of Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the great profession of faith –
Ia naa, au oꞌe nggo helu-fuli taꞌo ia: tao tungga basa Lamatuaꞌ Yesus parendan. Afiꞌ mulena-langga parendaꞌ esa boe, naa fo atahori afiꞌ hambu sala ma. Tao tungga basa naa ra no tetebꞌes, losa hita Malanggan Yesus Kristus, fai neneman. Au oꞌe nggo helu-fuli taꞌo naa sia Lamatualain matan. Huu ana mana fee ao samanaꞌ soaꞌ neu basa mana masodꞌaꞌ ra. Au o oꞌe nggo helu-fuli taꞌo naa sia Yesus Kristus matan. Huu Eni mana nafadꞌe relo-relo soꞌal aon sia hofernor Pontius Pilatus matan.
14 I implore you to keep his command free from stain or reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 This will be brought about in his own time by the one ever-blessed Potentate, the king of all kings and Lord of all lords,
Lamatuaꞌ Yesus manaseliꞌ naa, toꞌu koasa! Eni, Mane Monaeꞌ mia basa maneꞌ ra. Eni o, Malangga Monaeꞌ mia basa malangga ra. Nandaa no fai na ma, Lamatuaꞌ nae tao natudꞌu dalaꞌ ia ra.
16 who alone is possessed of immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or ever can see – to whom be ascribed honour and power for ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Akaꞌ a mesaꞌ ne nda mate sa. Nasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ fo atahori nda raꞌatataaꞌ meteꞌ a sa. Nda hambu atahori esa mete nita E sa boe. Basa e fee hadꞌa-hormat neu E! Basa koasa sia liman losa doo nduꞌu doon neu! Baꞌu a naa! Amin. (aiōnios g166)
17 Teach those who are wealthy in this life not to pride themselves, or fix their hopes, on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but on God, who gives us a wealth of enjoyment on every side. (aiōn g165)
Mufadꞌe atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ ra sia raefafoꞌ ia, fo ara afiꞌ koao, ma afiꞌ ramahena suꞌi nara. Te basa suꞌi naa ra dei fo mana sambu-laloꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ ramahena neu Lamatualain masodꞌaꞌ a. Te Eni mana mbori fee hita, basa saa fo hita parluꞌ a, naa fo hita tamedꞌa masodꞌaꞌ ia nemehoꞌon. (aiōn g165)
18 Teach them to show kindness, to exhibit a wealth of good actions, to be open-handed and generous,
Nefadꞌe se fo tao maloleꞌ rendiꞌ sira suꞌi nara. Ara musi nggate-nggate tao maloleꞌ. Ara musi hii tulu-fali atahori no rala teme-aoꞌ, ma hiiꞌ a banggi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ fee seꞌ a.
19 storing up for themselves what in the future will prove to be a good foundation, so that they may gain the only true life.
No taꞌo naa, ara radꞌuru suꞌi nara fo dadꞌi netehuuꞌ manggateeꞌ soaꞌ neu masodꞌa nara sia fai mana nemaꞌ ia. Dadꞌi ara rafefela masodꞌa mana naꞌena sosoa-ndandaaꞌ.
20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane prattle and contradictions of what some miscall “theology,”
Tius! Munea mulolole basa saa fo Lamatualain fee sia limam. Afiꞌ sordꞌodꞌodꞌo mo mana pepeko-lelekoꞌ ra. Afiꞌ olaꞌ tungga-tunggaꞌ mo dedꞌea nda mana nendi hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain sa. Musunedꞌa, e! Hambu atahori rae sira mahineꞌ. Tao-tao te mahine nara nda naꞌena netehuuꞌ saa sa boe. Afiꞌ mireresi mo se.
21 for there are those who, while asserting their proficiency in it, have yet, as regards the faith, gone altogether astray. God bless you all.
Te ara ramahere nenori pepeko-lelekoꞌ ra, de ara dinggoꞌ hela nemehere nara neu Lamatualain ena. Au oꞌe fo Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Sodꞌa moleꞌ Paulus
