1 Timothy 6

1 Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.

Yaaba n ye ti yonbidi lolimanni n yaa nua ke bi canbaa ba pundi ban kpiagiba li bonla kuli nni. Ke ban da sugidi UTienu yeli leni obangima

2 They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: —

yaa yonbi n tuuni yaa canbaan ba n daani po n dafaliba kelima bi tie kpiiba, Ama ban yaa tuuni bi po ki cie kelima bi tie niginkaaba ki go tie bi bua kaaba. Han bangi laa bonla ki go ñii li po.

3 If anyone doth otherwise teach, and doth not adhere to healthful discourses—those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching that is, according to godliness,

O nilo yaa bangi bangitoama, kaa hua O DIEDO JESU maama leni obangima leni o teginma.

4 He is beclouded, knowing, nothing, rightly, but is diseased about questionings, and word-battles—out of which spring envy, strife, defamations, wicked surmising,

O tie japaadaano, kaa bani li ba, ke li tie po nani Uyienu yen, opia mi niama, li nunponli, li koanli kulinkundu leni a yanjagibiada.

5 incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth, —supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!

Mi mafanma leni yaaba yaa yantiana n joagini bi luo imoamoani bi nua ke Ke UTienu teginma n tie ti ñuadi hiali.

6 Now it is a great means of gain—godliness, with a sufficiency of one’s own;

Li tie ñuaciandi hiali a ya mangi apali han pia yaala.

7 For, nothing, brought we into the world, neither, to take anything out, are we able; —

Kelima tii den cua leni ba kuli li handunli nni, li go doagidi cain ke ti kan fidi ki taa li ba kuli lienni.

8 And, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content;

Lani wani ti ya pia mi jiema leni ti tiayiekaadi li baa dagidi ti po.

9 But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction, —

Ama yaababa n bua ki tua piada baa ba mi tulinma nni. Bi yankuabiada, ya n kaa pia fuoma ki baa biidi ba yeni, cuoba nani ku diagu yeni ki teni ke bi feli ki bodi cain.

10 For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.

Kelima mi ligi buama tie li bonbiadi kuli yaa jiinu; Bi tianba den kuani bi yula lienni ki yaadi ki li dandanli, ki kuani bi yama lienni ki yaadi ki ha li dandanli ki kuani bi yula ti yan yangidi nni.

11 But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

Ama fini U Tienu nilo ŋan sani ki ŋa laa bonla ki lingi mi teginma, mi gagidiŋanma, li dandanli nni, mi buama li juuli, mi dingima.

12 Be contesting the noble contest of the faith, —lay hold of the age-abiding life—unto which thou wast called, and didst make the noble confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Han koani li dandanli koanŋanli, ki cuo ya miali n kangbeni, U Tienu n den yini a yaala yaapo ŋan go den tieni yaala ya seediŋamo bi niba boncianla nintuali. (aiōnios g166)

13 I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,

N teni a li ñoabonli U Tienu yua n tendi li bonla kuli li miali leni Jesu kilisiti yua n den doagidi li dandanmoanli Ponisa Pilata nuntuali, ŋan kubi laa ñoabonli.

14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ—

Ke han ya ŋua min teni a ya ñoabonli na cain, ki da tudi ba waamu ŋali ti diedo Jesu Kilisiti n baa doagidi o yuli yaa yogunu.

15 Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will shew—the King of them that reign, and Lord of them that wield lordship,

Li yogunu ya pundi U Tienu baa teni o doagidima yeni n tieni, wani yua n pia u paalu kuli ki tie bi badiba kuli bado leni bi diediba kuli diedo.

16 Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, —Whom no man hath seen—nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

Wani yua n ki pia kuuma, ki ye ya yenma n gagidi nni, oba kuli nki la yua ki kan fidi ki le o mo, wani yua n die ti kpiagidi leni u paalu ŋali yaa yogunu kuli. Amina! (aiōnios g166)

17 Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge—not to be high-minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches’, uncertainty, —but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying, (aiōn g165)

Han tundi ya nifiima n tie na piada ke ban da tua japaadanba. Ki da kuani bi suginma bi piama nni, ama ban kuani ma U Tienu yaa niinni, wani yua n puuni ti li bonla kuli ŋali ke li kandi ke tin ya pia li pamanli. (aiōn g165)

18 To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship, —

Han waani ba ban ya tiedi mi ŋanma, ki ya pia a tuonŋama, ti bulicindi ki ya puuni.

19 Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life [which is life] indeed.

Ban ya tiedi yeni ki biliti bi yula po o ŋalimanmoano ya yogunu n ba ti cua po ki fidi ki cuo li miamoanli.

20 O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, —

Fini Timote ŋan ya gu U Tienu pianli ki foagidi leni bi nisaaliba n pia ya niama ke maa ŋua i moamoani.

21 Which, some professing, concerning the faith, have missed the mark! Favour be with you.

Bi nitianba ŋoadi laa bonla ki yaadi ki ŋa li dandanli. U Tienu ŋanbili n yaa ye leni yi kuli.
