1 TIMOTHEO 6

Ditshwanelo tsa batlhanka

1 Botlhe ba e leng batlhanka ba ba mo jokweng a ba kaye beng ba bone e le ba ba tshwanetsweng ke tlotlo yotlhe gore go se kgalwe leina la Modimo le thuto.t

2 Bone ba ba nang le beng ba ba dumelang a ba se ka ba ba tlhokisa tlotlo, ka e le badumedi-ka-bone, mme a ba ba direle bogolo; ka gonne ba ba amogelang tirelo e e molemo ke badumedi le barategi.
Dilo tseo o di ba rute, o ba laye.t

Dikaelo le dikgakololo tse dingwe

5 le diphapaang tse di sa feleng tsa batho ba ba senyegileng tlhaloganyo, ba ba amogilweng boammaaruri, ka ba itlhoma poifo-Modimo e le papadi.
6 Papadi e kgolo ke poifo-Modimo e e nang le pelo e e thethebetseng.t 7 Gonne ga re a ka ra tsisa sepe mo lefatsheng, mme go bonala gore ga re ka ke ra ntsha sepe mo go lone.t 8 Mme fa re na le dijo le diaparo a go re lekane.t 9 Ba ba ratang go huma ba wela mo thaelong le mo serung le mo dikeletsong tse dintsi tsa bosilo tse di senyang, tse di nwetsang batho mo tshenyegong le mo tatlhegong.t

10 Gonne bopelotshetlha ke modi wa masula otlhe; e rile batho bangwe ba ineela mo go jona, ba fapoga tumelo, ba itirela matlhoko a mantsi.t
11 Mme wena, motho wa Modimo, tshaba dilo tseo! O tsôtelele tshiamo le poifo-Modimo le tumelo le lorato le boitshoko le bopelonolo.t 12 Tlhabana tlhabano e e molemo ya tumelo, phamola bophelo jo bo sa khutleng jo o bo bileditsweng, wa ba wa ipolela boipolelo jo bo molemo fa pele ga basupi ba le bantsi.t 13 Ke go laya fa pele ga Modimo o o phedisang dilo tsotlhe le fa pele ga Keresete Jesu yo o supileng boipolelo jo bo molemo fa pele ga Pontio Pilato,t 14 ka re: Tshegetsa taolo eo ka mokgwa o o se nang sebala le nyatsego go fitlha ponatshegong ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, 15 e e tla bonatsiwang mo metlheng ya teng ke yo e leng Mmusi a le esi wa masego le Kgosi ya dikgosi le Morena wa barena.t

16 Ke ene fela yo o nang le bosasweng, yo o agileng mo leseding le le sa ka keng la atamelwa, yo o iseng a ke a bonwe ke motho ope, yo o sa ka keng a bonwa ke ope. Ke ene yo o tshwanetsweng ke tlotlo le puso e e sa khutleng. Amen.t
17 Bahumi ba lefatshe leno o ba laye gore ba se ka ba ikgodisa le e seng go ikanya khumo e e se nang tlhomamo, mme a ba solofele mo Modimong o o re abelang dilo tsotlhe ka botlalo gore di re jese monate.t 18 O be o ba laye gore ba dire molemo, ba hume ka fa ditirong tse di molemo, ba itumelele go atswa le go abelana,

19 ba be ba iphuthele mahumo a mothao o o siameng wa tse di tlang gore ba tle ba bone botshelo jwa nnete.t
20 Timotheo, boloka se o se neilweng, o thibogele dipalabalo tsa boithamako le dikganetsanyo tsa se se bidiwang kitso, etswe e se yona,t

21 e bangwe e rileng ba ineetse mo go yona, ba timela ntlheng ya tumelo.
A bopelotlhomogi bo nne le lona!t

1 Timothy 6

1 Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.3 If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;4 he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,5 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.6 But godliness with contentment is great gain:7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.9 But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;14 that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:15 which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.17 Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.20 O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto thee, turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
