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.

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

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.

²Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

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;

³If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

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,

⁴he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

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.

⁵constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such. NU omits “Withdraw yourself from such.”

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

⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

⁷For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

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

⁸But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

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.

⁹But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

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.

¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

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.

¹¹But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

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.

¹²Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

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,

¹³I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

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

¹⁴that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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.

¹⁵which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

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.

¹⁶who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

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.

¹⁷Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

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

¹⁸that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

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

¹⁹laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

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.

²⁰Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

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

²¹which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
