1 Timothy 6

1 As many as are under a yoke [as] slaves, [their] own masters of all honor worthy they should esteem, so that not the name of God and the teaching may be denigrated.

Vese vari varanda pasi pejoko, ngavaverenge vatenzi vavo sevanofanirwa nerukudzo rwese, kuti zita raMwari nedzidziso zvirege kunyombwa.

2 Those now believing having masters not they should despise [them] because brothers they are; but rather they should serve [them], because believing [ones] they are and beloved by the good service being helped. These things do teach and do exhort.

Nevane vatenzi vanotenda ngavarege kuvazvidza, zvadziri hama, asi zvikuru ngavavashandire, nokuti vakatendeka uye vanodikanwa vagovani vemubairo. Dzidzisa zvinhu izvi ukurudzire.

3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and not he draws near to sound words of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and the according to godliness teaching,

Kana munhu achidzidzisa zvakasiyana nezvizvi, uye asingabvumiri mashoko awa mapenyu, aIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, nekudzidziso inoenderana nekunamata Mwari,

4 he has been puffed up nothing knowing but unhealthy about controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, slander, suspicions evil,

anongozvikudza, asingazivi chinhu, asi anongokarira mibvunzo nenharo dzemashoko, panobva godo, gakava, kutuka, kufungidzira kwakaipa,

5 [and] constant frictions corrupted among men in mind and defrauded of the truth, holding a means of gain to be godliness (do depart from [one of] such. *K*)

kukakavadzana kwevanhu vane murangariro wakaodzwa, vakarasikirwa nechokwadi, vachiti kunamata Mwari ndizvo zvinofumisa. Zviparadzanise nevakadaro.

6 Is however gain great godliness with contentment.

Asi kunamata Mwari nekugutsikana ndizvo zvinofumisa kwazvo;

7 No [thing] for we brought into the world, (evident *K*) because neither to carry out anything are we able;

nokuti hatina kuuya nechinhu panyika, zviri pachena kuti hatigoni kubuda nechinhu;

8 Having however sustenance and coverings, with these we will be content.

asi kana tine kudya nezvekupfeka tichagutsikana neizvozvi.

9 Those however desiring to be rich they fall into temptation and a snare and desires many foolish and harmful, which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

Asi vanoshuva kufuma vanowira mumuedzo nemumusungo, nemukuchiva kweupenzi kuzhinji kunokuvadza, zvinonyudza vanhu mukuparadzwa nekuputswa;

10 A root for of all kinds of evils is the love of money, which some stretching after were seduced away from the faith and themselves pierced with sorrows many.

nokuti kuda mari ndiwo mudzi wezvakaipa zvese; uyo vamwe vakati vachishuva vakatsauswa parutendo, vakazvibaya neshungu zhinji.

11 You yourself however, O man (*k*) of God, these things do flee, do pursue now righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, ([and] gentleness; *N(K)O*)

Asi iwe, haiwa munhu waMwari, tiza zvinhu izvi; utevere kururama, kunamata Mwari, rutendo, rudo, moyo murefu, neunyoro.

12 do fight the good fight of the faith, do lay hold of the eternal life to which (also *k*) you were called and did confess the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Irwa kurwa kwakanaka kwerutendo, batisisa upenyu husingaperi, hwawakadanirwawo kwahuri, ukabvumawo kubvuma kwakanaka pamberi pezvapupu zvizhinji. (aiōnios g166)

13 I charge you before God who (is giving life *N(k)O*) to all things and Christ Jesus the [One who] having testified before Pontius Pilate the good confession

Ndinokuraira pamberi paMwari, anoraramisa zvinhu zvese, naKristu Jesu, wakapupura kupupura kwakanaka pamberi paPondiyo Pirato,

14 to keep you the commandment without stain, above reproach until the appearing of the Lord of us Jesus Christ,

kuti uchengete murairo usina gwapa, usina chaungapomerwa, kusvikira pakuonekwa kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,

15 which in seasons [their] own He will display the blessed and alone Sovereign, the King of those being kings and [the] Lord of those being lords,

kwaacharatidza panguva dzake, iye Wakaropafadzwa neWemasimbaose ega, Mambo wemadzimambo naIshe wemadzishe,

16 alone having immortality, in light dwelling unapproachable, whom has seen no [one] of men nor to see is able, to whom [be] honor and dominion eternal, Amen. (aiōnios g166)

iye ega ane kusafa, agere pachiedza chisingasvikiki, hakuna umwe wevanhu wakambomuona, kana kugona kuona; kukudzwa nesimba risingaperi zviri kwaari. Ameni. (aiōnios g166)

17 To the rich in the present age do instruct [them] not to be high-minded nor to have hope in of riches [the] uncertainty but (on *N(k)O*) (*k*) God (who is living *K*) who is providing us all things richly for enjoyment, (aiōn g165)

Raira vakafuma panyika ino, kuti varege kuzvikudza, kana kuvimba nefuma isingavimbiki, asi muna Mwari mupenyu, anotipa zvinhu zvese achiwanza kuti tifare; (aiōn g165)

18 to do good, to be rich in works good, generous in distributing to be, ready to share,

vaite zvakanaka, kuti vave vafumi pamabasa akanaka, vagadzirire kupa, nekugovana;

19 treasuring up for themselves a foundation good for the future, so that they may take hold of that which ([is] truly *N(K)O*) life.

vazvirongedzere nheyo yakanaka yenguva inouya, kuti vabatisise upenyu husingaperi.

20 O Timothy, the (deposit committed [to you] *N(k)O*) do guard avoiding the profane empty babblings and opposing arguments falsely called knowledge,

Haiwa, Timotio, chengetedza icho chawakabatiswa, ufuratire kutaura kusina maturo nekupikisa kwezvinonzi ruzivo zviri zvenhema;

21 which some professing from the faith went astray. Grace [be] with (you [all] *N(k)O*) (Amen. *KO*) (to Timothy first it was written from Laodicea which is capital of Phrygia of Pacatiana. *K*)

irwo vamwe vakati vachibvuma vakarasika maererano nerutendo. Nyasha ngadzive newe. Ameni.
