¹As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

¹In alla intii addoommo ah oo ka hoosaysa harqoodka addoonnimada, sayidyadooda ha ku tiriyeen kuwo maamuus oo dhan istaahila, si aan magaca Ilaah iyo cilmiga loo caayin.

²and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

²Kuwii sayidyo rumaysan lahu yaanay quudhsan, maxaa yeelay, waa walaalo; laakiin ha u adeegeen intay quudhsan lahaayeen, maxaa yeelay, kuwa shuqulkooda wanaagsan ka faa'iidaa waa kuwa rumaysan oo la jecel yahay. Dadka waxyaalahan bar oo ku waani.

³if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words — those of our Lord Jesus Christ — and to the teaching according to piety,

³Haddii nin dadka cilmi kale baro oo uusan u oggolaan hadalka runta ah oo Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix iyo cilmiga raacsan cibaadada,

⁴he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

⁴kaasu waa kibirsan yahay, oo waxba garan maayo. Wuxuuna u jeellan yahay su'aalo iyo hadal-iskuqabasho, waxaana ka yimaada hinaaso iyo dirir iyo cay iyo tuhun xun,

⁵wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

⁵iyo murannada dadka maankoodu kharribmay oo runta waayey, iyagoo u malaynaya in cibaadadu tahay wax faa'iido laga helo.

⁶but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;

⁶Laakiin cibaadadu waa faa'iido weyn markii waxa la haysto raalli lagu yahay;

⁷for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;

⁷waayo, dunida waxba ma aynu keenin, waxbana ka qaadan kari mayno.

⁸but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;

⁸Laakiinse haddaynu haysanno dhar iyo dhuuni, way inagu filnaan doonaan.

⁹and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

⁹Laakiin kuwa doonaya inay taajir noqdaan, waxay ku dhacaan duufsasho iyo dabin iyo damacyo badan oo nacasnimo ah waxyeellona leh, oo dadka ku hafiya baabbi'in iyo halaag.

¹⁰for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹⁰Waayo, jacaylka lacagtu waa xididka xumaatooyinka oo dhan, oo qaar intay higsanayeen ayay iimaankii ka ambadeen, oo waxaa muday tiiraanyo badan.

¹¹and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

¹¹Laakiinse adigu, nin yahow Ilaah, waxyaalahan ka carar; oo raac xaqnimada, iyo cibaadada, iyo iimaanka, iyo jacaylka, iyo dulqaadashada, iyo qabownimada.

¹²be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.

¹²Dagaalka wanaagsan oo iimaanka dagaallan, oo qabso nolosha weligeed ah, oo laguugu yeedhay, oo aad qirashada wanaagsan ku hor qiratay markhaatiyaal badan.

¹³I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

¹³Ilaah hortiis kan wax kasta nooleeya, iyo Ciise Masiix hortiis, kan Bontiyos Bilaatos hortiisa qirashada wanaagsan ku qirtay, waxaan kugu amrayaa

¹⁴that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁴inaad amarka ku xajisid iinla'aan iyo ceebla'aan ilaa Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix muuqdo,

¹⁵which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,

¹⁵muuqashadaas uu wakhtigiisa muujin doono, kan ammaanta leh oo keligiis xoogga leh, oo ah Boqorka boqorrada iyo Sayidka sayidyada,

¹⁶who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honour and might age-during! Amen.

¹⁶kan keligiis aan dhimanayn, oo ku dhex jira nuurka aan loo dhowaan karin, oo aan ninna arkin, lana arki karin; isagu ha lahaado ciso iyo itaal weligiis. Aamiin.

¹⁷Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; —

¹⁷Kuwa dunidatan haatan la joogo hodanka ku ah waani inayan iskibrin oo ayan maalka aan la hubin isku hallayn, laakiinse ay isku halleeyaan Ilaaha wax kasta si deeqsinimo ah inoo siiya si aynu ugu raaxaysanno.

¹⁸to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,

¹⁸Oo waani inay wax san sameeyaan, oo ay shuqullo wanaagsan hodan ku ahaadaan, oo ay deeqsi ahaadaan, oo ay dadka kale wax siiyaan,

¹⁹treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.

¹⁹iyagoo wakhtiga imanaya u dhiganaya aasaas wanaagsan, inay nolosha runta ah qabsadaan.

²⁰O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,

²⁰Timoteyosow, wixii laguu dhiibay ilaali, oo ka leexo hadalka aan micnaha lahayn oo nijaasta ah iyo muranka aqoonta beenta ah,oo qaar qirashadeeda aawadeed iimaanka ku gafeen.

²¹which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.

²¹oo qaar qirashadeeda aawadeed iimaanka ku gafeen.
