I Timothy 6

Aoka izay andevo rehetra eo ambanin'ny zioga hanao ny tompony ho miendrika hohajaina tsara, mba tsy hitenenana ratsy ny anaran'Andriamanitra sy ny fampianarana.

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

Ary izay manana tompo mino dia aoka tsy hanao tsinontsinona azy, satria rahalahy izy; fa vao mainka tokony hotompoiny aza izy, satria mino sy malala ilay mpandray ny soa atao. Izany zavatra izany no ampianaro sy ananaro.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

Raha misy olona manao fampianarana hafa noho izany ka tsy manaiky ny teny tsy misy kilema, dia ny an'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, sy ny fampianarana izay mahatonga ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra,

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

dia mieboebo foana izy ka tsy mahalala na inona na inona, fa adala amin'ny fiadian-kevitra sy ny fiadian-teny izay mahatonga fialonana, fifandirana, fanaratsiana, fiahiahian-dratsy,

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

fifandirana lalandava, fanaon'ny olona vetaveta saina sady efa nialan'ny fahamarinana, manao ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra ho fahazoan-javatra.

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Fa misy tombony lehibe tokoa ny toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra omban'ny fianinana.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Fa tsy nitondra na inona na inona ho amin'izao tontolo izao isika, sady hita fa tsy hahatondra na inona na inona hiala.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Fa raha manan-kanina sy fitafiana isika, dia aoka hianina amin'izany.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Ary izay ta-hanan-karena dia latsaka amin'ny fakam-panahy sy ny fandrika ary ny filàna maro tsy misy antony sady mandratra, izay mandentika ny olona ao amin'ny fandringanana sy ny fahaverezana.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Fa ny fitiavam-bola no fototry ny ratsy rehetra, koa ny sasany izay fatra-pitady izany dia efa voavily niala tamin'ny finoana ka nanindrona ny tenany tamin'ny alahelo be.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Fa ianao kosa, sy lehilahin'Andriamanitra, mandosira izany zavatra izany, ka miezaha mitady fahamarinana, toe-panahy araka an'Andriamanitra, finoana, fitiavana, faharetana, fahalemem-panahy.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Miadia ny ady tsaran'ny finoana, hazòny ny fiainana mandrakizay; fa ho amin'izany no niantsoana anao koa sy nanaovanao ilay fanekena tsara teo imason'ny vavolombelona maro.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Izaho mananatra anao eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra, Izay mamelona ny zavatra rehetra, ary eo anatrehan'i Kristy Jesosy, Izay nanao ilay fanekena tsara teo anatrehan'i Pontio Pilato,

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

mba hotehirizinao tsy hanan-tsiny amam-pondro hatramin'ny fisehoan'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika izany didy izany;

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

ny Andriana finaritra sady tokana, Mpanjakan'ny mpanjaka sy Tompon'ny tompo, no haneho izany amin'ny fotoany;

Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Izy ihany no manana ny tsi-fahafatesana, mitoetra eo amin'ny mazava tsy azo hatonina, Izay tsy hitan'olona sady tsy hainy jerena; ho Azy anie ny voninahitra sy ny fanjakana mandrakizay. Amena.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Anaro ny mpanankarena amin'izao fiainana ankehitriny izao mba tsy hiavonavona, na hatoky ny harena miovaova, fa Andriamanitra, Izay manome antsika malalaka ny zavatra rehetra mba hifaliantsika,

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

mba hanao soa, mba hanan-karena amin'ny asa tsara, hazoto manome sy miantra,

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

ka dia hihary fanorenana tsara ho an'ny tenany ho amin'ny andro ho avy, mba hihazonany ny tena fiainana.

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

Ry Timoty, tehirizo ilay natolotra anao, ka mialà amin'ny fibedibedena foana sy ny fanoherana avy amin'izay atao hoe fahalalana, kanjo tsy izy,

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

izay neken'ny sasany, ka nania tamin'ny finoana izy. Ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana.

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
