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.
2Wid yesɛan imɛellmen i gețțamnen s Lmasiḥ ur ilaq ara ad kksen fell-asen leqdeṛ imi d atmaten-nsen i llan, lameɛna ad qedcen fell-asen seg ul imi d wid yumnen s Lmasiḥ, d wid eɛzizen ara yesfayden si leqdic-nsen. Atah wayen ara tweṣṣiḍ d wayen ara teslemdeḍ :
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.
3win ara yeslemden ayen ixulfen liman-nneɣ, ur neqbil ara awal imqeddes n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ,
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,
4yeččuṛ d zzux ur yessin kra ; iḥemmel ad ikețțeṛ awal, yețnaɣ ɣef ddemma n yimeslayen. Seg wannect-agi i d-itekk umennuɣ, tismin, lekfeṛ d ccekk,
4he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,
5imeslayen nsen ur țfakan ara axaṭer ččuṛen s yir ixemmimen teɛṛeq-asen tideț, ɣilen s ṭṭaɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi ara uɣalen d imeṛkantiyen.
5constant quarrellings of men corrupted in mind and destitute of the truth, holding gain to be [the end of] piety.
6?-țideț abrid n Sidi Ṛebbi yețțawi-d rrbeḥ ameqqran, meɛna ma yella nesteqniɛ s wayen nesɛa.
6But piety with contentment *is* great gain.
7Axaṭer ur d-newwi yid-nneɣ acemma ɣer ddunit, akken daɣen ur nezmir a nawi acemma yid-nneɣ m'ara nemmet.
7For we have brought nothing into the world: [it is] [manifest] that neither can we carry anything out.
8Ihi ma yella nesɛa ayen ara nečč d wayen ara nels, ilaq a nesteqneɛ.
8But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.
9Ma d wid yettabaɛen cci n ddunit ɣellin deg ujeṛṛeb akk-d tfextin n yir ccehwat n tnefsit-nsen, i gețțawin imdanen ɣer txeṣṣart akk-d nnger.
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.
10Axaṭer ṭṭmeɛ n idrimen d sebba n kra n wayen yellan diri-t. Llan kra i gtebɛen cci-yagi n ddunit, ffɣen i webrid n Lmasiḥ, ḍuṛṛen tiṛwiḥin nsen, sseɣlin-d lhemm ɣef yiman nsen.
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.
11Ma d kečč ay aqeddac n Sidi Ṛebbi ssebɛed iman-ik ɣef wannect agi meṛṛa, nadi ɣef lḥeqq d ṭṭaɛa, liman, lmaḥibba, ṣṣbeṛ d wannuz.
11But *thou*, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.
12Sseǧhed iman-ik deg umenɣi ɣef liman, eṭṭef di tudert n dayem i ɣer k-d-issawel Sidi Ṛebbi, asm'akken i d-cehdeḍ s wayen tumneḍ zdat yemdanen meṛṛa.
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.
13A k-weṣṣiɣ zdat Sidi Ṛebbi i d-yețțaken tudert, zdat Ɛisa Lmasiḥ i gcehden ɣef liman akken ilaq zdat Bunṭus Bilaṭus.
13I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,
14Tbeɛ lewṣayat-agi, iwakken aț-țeqqimeḍ d azedgan, ur a k-d-issukus yiwen kra alamma d ass n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ
14that thou keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15ara d-yuɣalen di lweqt i d-ihegga Sidi Ṛebbi awḥid Bab n tezmert, Agellid n igelliden d Ssid n ssyadi,
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;
16win yeddren i dayem, i gellan di tafat ur yezmir yiwen aț-țyaweḍ, ulac win i t-iwalan neɣ i gzemren a t-iwali. I nețța tamanegt ț-țezmert i dayem ! Amin.
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.
17Weṣṣi imeṛkantiyen n ddunit-agi iwakken ur ssemɣaṛen ara iman-nsen, ur țkalayen ara ɣef cci n ddunit ur nesɛi laman, meɛna ad țeklen ɣef Sidi Ṛebbi i ɣ-d-ițțaken lxiṛ s tugeț iwakken a nili di lfeṛḥ.
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;
18Weṣṣi-ten ad xeddmen lxiṛ, ad ilin d imeṛkantiyen s lecɣal lɛali, ad țseddiqen mbla cceḥḥa, ad bḍun d wiyaḍ ayen sɛan.
18to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],
19S wakka, ad jemɛen i yiman-nsen agerruj yelhan i wussan i d-iteddun iwakken ad sɛun tudert n tideț.
19laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of [what is] really life.
20A Timuti eɛzizen, eḥrez ayen i tlemdeḍ, ssebɛed iman-ik ɣef yimeslayen ur nesɛi lmeɛna, ɣef yimennuɣen yeɛnan tamusni n lekdeb.
20O Timotheus, keep the entrusted deposit, avoiding profane, vain babblings, and oppositions of false-named knowledge,
21Wid i gtebɛen tamusni-agi, sṛuḥen liman-nni i sɛan di Lmasiḥ. Ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi aț-țili yid-wen !
21of which some having made profession, have missed the faith. Grace [be] with thee.
