¹Let as many bondmen as are under yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the teaching be not blasphemed.

¹Sa kodola kai si slugi trobul te avel le penge gazdange baro respektimos, saxke khonik te na mothol nasulimos pa anav le Devlesko ai pa so sicharas.

²And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them] because they are brethren; but let them the rather serve them with subjection, because they are faithful and beloved, who profit by the good and ready service [rendered]. These things teach and exhort.

²Le slugi kai lenge gazda pachanpe ando Del, trobul te avel le respektimos lenge, ke lenge phral si; ai trobul te podain le mai mishto, ke kodola kai si podaime lendar pachan pe ando Del ai drago sas le. So trobul te sichares ai te mothos.

³If any one teach differently, and do not accede to sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which [is] according to piety,

³Te sicharela vari kon aver diela, ke so sicharen tume, ai te na pachalpe andel chache vorbi le Jesus Kristoske, ai ando sicharimos amare pachamasko;

⁴he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,

⁴Kodo manush si baro barimatango, ai chi zhanel kanchi, ai ande leste si o naswalimos te tsipil, ai te xalpe andal vorbi, ai kotsar avel le zhaluzi, le chingara, kai maren mui, kai si ginduria chorhe pe iek kavreste,

⁵constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.

⁵ai kerdiol divanuria kai chi mai getonpe mashkar le manush kai ma nai le e goji vorta, ai chi mai zhanen o chachimos. Ai gindin ke le pachamasa sa barvalos.

⁶But piety with contentment *is* great gain.

⁶Ke chaches ke o pachamos baro barvalimos si le manusheske, kai mishto leske so sa si les.

⁷For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.

⁷Ke chaches chi andiam kanchi ande kadia lumia, ai nashti angeras kanchi.

⁸But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.

⁸Numa te si ame o xaben ai le tsalia, kodia si dosta amenge.

⁹But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

⁹Numa kodola kai mangen te barvalon, peren ande zumaimos ai line le ande atsaimos katar but dieli bi malade, ai chorhe kai ingeren le manushen te xasavon.

¹⁰For the love of money is [the] root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

¹⁰Ke e dragostia le lovenge si kai ingerel ka but nasulimos, ke uni manush kadia de zurales mangen te avel le love kai durile katar o pachamos, ai thode ande penge ile but nekazo.

¹¹But *thou*, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.

¹¹Numa tu, manusha, kai pachas tu ando Del, duriol katar kadala dieli; ai rode o chachimos, besh pasha Del, rode o pachamos, e dragostia, e rhavda, ai o lashimos.

¹²Strive earnestly [in] the good conflict of faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

¹²Mar tu o lasho marimos le pachamasko, ai le o traio kai chi mai getolpe; ke O Del akhardia tu te zhanes kado traio kana phendian o shukar divano po cho pachamos angla but marturia.

¹³I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,

¹³Mangav ma tutar angla Del kai del o traio ka sa le dieli, ai angla Jesus Kristo, kai dia peske shukare divanosa pa pesko pachamos angla Pontius Pilate; garav E Vorba le Devleski,

¹⁴that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ai garav la vuzhi, ai bi doshako zhi ka dies kai amaro Devles O Jesus Kristo avela.

¹⁵which in its own time the blessed and only Ruler shall shew, the King of those that reign, and Lord of those that exercise lordship;

¹⁵Kana avela e vriama O Del kerela kodia diela, wo kai ferdi poronchil, ai kai si swuntsome, o amperato le amperatongo, ai o gazda le gazdengo.

¹⁶who only has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor is able to see; to whom [be] honour and eternal might. Amen.

¹⁶Ke ferdi wo si kai chi merel; ai traiil andek vediara kai khonik nashtil te pashol. Khonik shoxar chi dikhlia les, ai khonik nashti te dikhel les, ai leske te avel o luvudimos ai e putiera ande swako vriama. Amen.

¹⁷Enjoin on those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust on the uncertainty of riches; but in the God who affords us all things richly for [our] enjoyment;

¹⁷Phen kodolenge kai si le le barvalimata kadala lumiake, te na aven barimatange, ai phen lenge te na thon pengo pachamos andel barvalimata kai nai gor so avela, numa te thon pengo pachamos ando Del, wo kai del ame swako fielo ai but saxke te avas raduime.

¹⁸to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],

¹⁸Phen lenge te keren o mishtimos, ai te aven barvale ando mishtimos, ai te zhutin but, ai te hulaven le kolavrensa.

¹⁹laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of [what is] really life.

¹⁹Kadia won chidena penge iek lasho ai zuralo barvalimos pe mai angle, ai antunchi avela le o traio o chacho.

²⁰O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge,

²⁰O Timote, garav mishto so sas tu dino, ai durios katar le divanuria le bi malade, kodolenge kai keren barimata ande so zhanen, ke kodia sikavel ke chi zhanen.

²¹of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace [be] with thee.

²¹Uni phende ke zhanenas kadala dieli, ai duri le katar o pachamos. O lashimos le Devlesko te avel tumensa.
