1 Timothy 6 (YER)

1Nkpaktak onəm va̱ ka̱ anung izwal te, re oza̱ a yar pa̱ a məma pa̱ oza̱ a na ichumchum ônəm oga nzhi oza̱ pa̱ makmak. Ka̱kul le kan ma a vyap aɗin Inan nzəng ka̱ nvyap nnap nɗyang va̱ ta̱ ka̱t.All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.

2Ozwal va̱ onəm oga nzhí oza̱ onəm oga ngwa Inan te, kan oza̱ a ɓák ntan ôza̱ ka̱kul pa̱ oza̱ ogənan ka̱t. Nva̱ pa̱ oza̱ ka̱ nəm pa te, re oza̱ a nəm inok a ɓyen pa̱ gənggəng a ji mmatmat ji. Ka̱kul onəm va̱ ka̱ nfe nchang inok va̱ ta te, onəm oga nna nnandər va tong chit onəm ma̱nma̱n ka̱ atak oza̱ a. Wa ɗyang iya̱m va̱ ta ôza̱ nzəng ka̱ nna ichən ôza̱ ka̱ apəpal.Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

3Unəm va pa̱ kpaktak ka̱ nɗyang iya̱m iro pa̱ ɗi, ka̱t te uza̱ ma̱n ka̱ oga nnap-nlà ngga nnandər nja aPonzhi uYesu Kəristi ka̱ nɗyang va mà ka̱ nnap ngwa Inan ka̱t te,If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,

4ya uza̱ ka̱ mɓul ntəm ka̱ ashe nrup ká̱ ishi, uza̱ nyi iya̱m ro ka̱t. Uza̱ ká̱ nnap nnəm mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng ngga nɗom ngbá̱ng ikum, ka̱ ndáp izər ka̱ apal ishi nnap-nlàla na pa mwang. Iya̱m va i ɓa ká̱ ìkpar, ká̱ ngbá̱ng ìkum, ká̱ nvyap aɗin owan onəm, ká̱ ngga̱m owan onəm mɓá̱ngɓa̱ng,he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,

5ká̱ ngbak izər kà̱ ishimshe onəm oga nrəng nnap nkúkú va nnandər kùn ka̱ oza̱. Onəm oga nrəng pa̱ ntəm ka̱ ashe nnap nnəm ngga ngwa Inan pa te, i ɓa ka̱ nya iya̱m a.and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

6Nwa Inan kang nzəng ka̱ nɗom ka̱ anung iya̱m ka̱t te, idur imakmak.Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.

7Ka̱kul í wong mɓa ka̱ ashe apambin va̱ ta̱ te, í ɓa ká̱ iya̱m iro ka̱wo ka̱t. Nna kang í wong nle te, í yar iya̱m iro ka̱ awo ka̱t na kpa.For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.

8A yà pa̱ nna i yà ká̱ iya̱m-nrì, ká̱ ilukwán imwakmwak te, re oza̱ á kúr yi.But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

9Onəm oga nɗom ndur te, oza̱ i tar ka̱ ashe mmà ká̱ ajəp. Oza̱ i təm ka̱ ashe aɗom pa̱ kyák aga nyà ká̱ ipir ka̱t, ká̱ aga nnak ɓan ûnəm. I nak na uza̱ i ta nkətkət i ɓun i zhì.Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

10Ka̱kul nchang mbwai nna akum ìjili nza̱ iya̱m iɓá̱ngɓa̱ng nggo. Ka̱ atak aɗom va ta na oro le ka̱ nnap nna nnandər swang ka̱ cho. Oza̱ nak ishi oza̱ ka̱ ashe apir nlak ìgwak pa̱ ɗongɗong ngga nkyep anung igwák.For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

11Ázwal Inan, mmaɓu ji ɓu te, kan wa dat ka̱ apir iya̱m wa iva̱ ta ka̱t. Wa cher ishi nzwan wa təm ka̱ ashe nnap nnəm nnəna̱n, ka̱ ngwa Inan, ka̱ ntəm ka̱ ashe nna nnandər, ka̱ mma̱n, ka̱ nsar ìgwak, ka̱ nra ká̱ ishi.But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

12Wa lung ka̱ nnandər ka̱kul nnap nna nnandər. Yichi awo kpán irirì iga mbyet mbyet va̱ ta ka̱. Ka̱kukul na ma wór ɓu nva̱ ká̱ u là nnap-nlà va ɓyen pari ka̱ mpyal onəm pa̱ kyák va fife a.Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.

13N gwang ɓu ká̱ Inan va i na irirì îya̱m pa̱ kpaktak. N gwang ɓu kpa ka̱ uYesu Kəristi va ka̱ atak nnap-nlà nnap-nla ka̱ mpyal aBilatus unəm uga aPontus te, uza̱ là nnap-nlà va ɓyen pari.I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

14Mmami ka̱ nla aɓu a kəkam pa̱ u kpak nnap-nlà va̱ ta̱ pa̱ dakdak. Kang adak ro ka̱ mpat ro a yà ka̱ ka̱t, har a ga a chu alum va uPonzhi yi uYesu Kəristi i nyám ishi wò ka̱ mban a.Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15Iya̱m va Inan i nak i fa ka̱ alum va mà dakdak ka̱ na. Re aɗəngchi a təm aji Inan. Inan va Unəm uga nnəm ká̱ iya̱m pa̱ kpaktak, uPonzhi oponzhi, Unəm ga nzhi onəm ga nzhí.which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.

16Uwa byet pa̱ uzəngtəng i kú ka̱t. Uza̱ təm ka̱ ashe atak atántàn va mí ɓa dat ka̱ ka̱t. Unəm ro uwa ya na ká̱ iwu chit ka̱t. Nna kan unəm kúr nya na ká̱ iwu ka̱t. Re ma nak inəm á na nzəng ka̱ nna ichumchum á na mbyet mbyet. Nna a təm.He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

17Là ônəm oga ndur oga apambin va̱ ta̱ pa̱ kan oza̱ a fam ká̱ idur ka̱t. Kang oza̱ a da̱r nkam oza̱ ká̱ idur va ma nyi nsəsat ka̱t a. Oza̱ a da̱r nkam oza̱ ká̱ izər Inan va i na nza̱ iya̱m nggo ayi pa̱ makmak na i fe nchəchang.Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.

18Oza̱ a nəm iya̱m inəna̱n. Oza̱ a dur ká̱ iya̱m inəmnəm inəna̱n. Kang oza̱ a ɓa̱ng afu ka̱t. Oza̱ a na iya̱m na ônəm.Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,

19Oza̱ i nəm pa te, ya oza̱ ka̱ mban akum anəna̱n ka̱kul ishi oza̱ ka̱kul nra ngga mɓa, na oza̱ a yichi awo a kpán irirì ka̱. Iriri va irirì iga nnandər a.treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

20ÁTimoti, pángchí pa̱ dakdak iya̱m va̱ ma nak iɗəɗək aɓu chit ka̱ ashe awo. Kang iya̱m ro a yar ɓu ka̱ nnap anung va ngwa Inan ka̱t a. Kang iya̱m ro a yar ɓu ka̱t kpa ka̱ ndap izər ka̱ apal ishi iya̱m va mí nap akwam mí wór pa̱ nnyi.O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”

21Oro ka̱ atak nna nnandər ká̱ nnà te, oza̱ làr chit le ka̱ asa̱l nnap nna nnandər re. Re nnap-nnəna̱n a təm nzəng ka̱ ɓu.which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
