1Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1 Borey kulu kaŋ go bannyataray calu* ra ma ngey koyey lasaabu kaŋ i to beeray kulu cine, zama borey ma si Irikoy maa d'iri dondonandiyaŋo jance.
2And 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.
2 Bannyey kaŋ koyey ga cimandi ma si donda ngey koyey zama nya-izeyaŋ no. A ga bisa zaati i ma may ka tonton i se, zama borey kaŋ goono ga du i goyo albarka ga ti cimandikoy kaŋ i ga baa gumo. Ma hayey din dondonandi k'i waazu mo.
3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
3 Boro kulu kaŋ goono ga dondonandiyaŋ waani fo te, nga no, bora si g'iri Rabbi Yesu Almasihu sanni cimikoyey ta, da dondonandiyaŋo kaŋ ga saba nda Irikoy ganayaŋ,
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
4 bora din furo boŋbeeray ra. A si hay kulu bay, amma yanje nda kakaw sanni no a ga ba gumo. Woodin yaŋ mo no ga kande canse, da yanje, da alaasiray, da sikkayaŋ laaley,
5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
5 da kakawey kaŋ si ban, kaŋ yaŋ fun borey kaŋ laakaley sara yaŋ do. I si cimi bay koyne. I ga tammahã kaŋ Irikoy ganayaŋ ya riiba ceeciyaŋ fondo no.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6 Haciika, Irikoy ganayaŋ da bine kaŋ ga ne a wasa nga se, ya riiba bambata no.
7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
7 Zama iri mana furo ndunnya ra da hay kulu. Iri si fun a ra mo da hay kulu.
8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
8 Amma d'iri gonda ŋwaari nda bankaaray, woodin yaŋ ga wasa iri se.
9But 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.
9 Amma borey kaŋ ga ba ngey ma ciya arzakanteyaŋ go ga kaŋ siyaŋ da hirrimi da bine ibaay laalo yaamo boobo ra kaŋ yaŋ ga borey candi ka daŋ hasaraw da halaciyaŋ ra.
10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
10 Zama nooru baakasinay ga ti laala dumi kulu kaaji. Woodin ceeciyaŋ do mo no boro fooyaŋ daray ka kamba cimi fonda ganayaŋ gaa, ka ngey boŋ gooru mo da bine saray boobo.
11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
11 Amma nin wo, Irikoy bora, kala ni ma zuru hayey din se. Ma adilitaray, da Irikoy ganayaŋ, da baakasinay, da suuru, da lalabu mo gana.
12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
12 Ma cimbeeri wongo kaŋ ga ti ihanna te. Ma fundi hal abada di, kaŋ se Irikoy na ni ce, hala ni na seeda hanno no seeda boobo yaŋ jine.
13I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
13 Ay ga ni lordi Irikoy jine, nga kaŋ ga hay kulu funandi, da Almasihu Yesu jine mo kaŋ na seeda hanno te Bilatos Buntus jine:
14That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
14 ni ma lordo wo gaay ka goro mo taali nda jance hari si, hala zaaro kaŋ iri Rabbo Yesu Almasihu ga bangay.
15Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
15 Irikoy g'a cabe a alwaato kaŋ ga hagu ra, Irikoy kaŋ ga ti Dabariko follonka, kaŋ albarka go a se, nga kaŋ ga ti bonkooney Bonkoono da koyey Koyo.
16Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
16 Nga hinne se no buuyaŋ-jaŋay go, nga kaŋ go annura ra kaŋ boro kulu si du ka to a gaa, nga kaŋ boro kulu mana du ka di a baa ce fo, i si hin ka di a mo. Darza nda dabari mo ma bara a gaa hal abada. Amin!
17Charge 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;
17 Ma zamana woone arzakantey lordi ka ne i ma si te boŋbeeray. I ma si ngey beeje daŋ arzaka kaŋ sinda naanay gaa, amma kala Irikoy gaa. Nga no g'iri no hay kulu nda baayaŋ, iri ma maa i kaani se.
18That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
18 M'i lordi ka ne i ma gomni te, ka ciya arzakanteyaŋ goy hanney ra. I ma bara nda nooyaŋ anniya, i ma bara mo soolante ka borey gaakasinay.
19Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
19 Woodin gaa no i ga albarka jisi ngey boŋ se kaŋ ga ciya daba hanno alwaatey kaŋ ga kaa se. Yaadin gaa mo no i ga du fundi, cimi wano.
20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
20 Ya Timotiyos, ni ma jisiro kaŋ Irikoy talfi ni gaa gaay. Ma banda bare sanney kaŋ yaŋ sinda nafa gaa, da wo kaŋ manti Irikoy wane yaŋ gaa, da bayray kakawey kaŋ i ga ne cimiyaŋ no, amma tangari no.
21Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
21 Boro fooyaŋ ne ngey go ga cimo din gana, amma i harta cimi fonda ganayaŋ gaa. Gomni ma bara araŋ banda.
