6:1
Ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι, τοὺς ἰδίους δεσπότας πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίους ἡγείσθωσαν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται.
Quicumque sunt sub jugo servi, dominos suos omni honore dignos arbitrentur, ne nomen Domini et doctrina blasphemetur.
ወኵሉ ነባሪ ወቅኑይ አክብሩ አጋእዝቲክሙ በኵሉ ከመ ኢይፅርፉ ላዕለ ስመ እግዚአብሔር ወላዕለ ትምህርቱ።
Let 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.
6:2
οἱ δὲ πιστοὺς ἔχοντες δεσπότας μὴ καταφρονείτωσαν, ὅτι ἀδελφοί εἰσιν· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον δουλευέτωσαν, ὅτι πιστοί εἰσιν καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι. Ταῦτα δίδασκε καὶ παρακάλει.
Qui autem fideles habent dominos, non contemnant, quia fratres sunt : sed magis serviant, quia fideles sunt et dilecti, qui beneficii participes sunt. Haec doce, et exhortare.
ወእለሰ ቦሙ አጋእዝት መሃይምናን ኢያስተሐቅሩ እስመ አኀዊሆሙ እሙንቱ በሃይማኖት ዓዲ ፈድፋደ ይትቀነዩ ሎሙ እስመ ምእመናን ወፍቁራን እሙንቱ ወለእሉ ይትወከፉ ወይትለአኩ በፍሥሓ ሎሙ ከመዝ መሀር ወገሥጽ ወአስተብቍዖሙ።
Those 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.
6:3
εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσιν λόγοις, τοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ τῇ κατ’ εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ,
Si quis aliter docet, et non acquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ei, quae secundum pietatem est, doctrinae :
ወእመሰ ቦ ዘይሜህር ካልአ ወኢይገብእ ኀበ ትምህርተ ነገረ ሕይወት ዘውእቱ ቃለ እግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ወኀበ ትምህርተ ጽድቅ።
If 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,
6:4
τετύφωται, μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλὰ νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας, ἐξ ὧν γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί,
superbus est, nihil sciens, sed languens circa quaestiones, et pugnas verborum : ex quibus oriuntur invidiae, contentiones, blasphemiae, suspiciones malae,
ውእቱኬ ዘይትዔበይ እንዘ አልቦ ዘየአምር ዘእንበለ መቅሠፍተ ዘየኀሥሥ ወነገረ ጋዕዝ ዘእምኔሁ ይመጽእ ተሓምሞ ወተቃንኦ ፀሪፍ ወምክር እኩይ ወአስተዳጕጾ ሰብእ።
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
6:5
διαπαρατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν.
conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum, et qui veritate privati sunt, existimantium quaestum esse pietatem.
ወእሉ ሙሱናን ወውፁኣን እምጽድቅ ወይሬስይዎ ለጽድቀ እግዚአብሔር ተግባረ ተገኀሦሙ ለእሉ።
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
6:6
ἔστιν δὲ πορισμὸς μέγας ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας·
Est autem quaestus magnus pietas cum sufficientia.
እስመ ለነሰ ተግባርነ ዐቢይ ውእቱ ፈሪሀ እግዚአብሔር።
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6:7
οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα·
Nihil enim intulimus in hunc mundum : haud dubium quod nec auferre quid possumus.
እስመ አልቦ ዘአምጻእነ ውስተ ዓለም ወአልቦ ዘንክል ነሢአ እምኔሁ።
For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
6:8
ἔχοντες δὲ διατροφὰς καὶ σκεπάσματα, τούτοις ἀρκεσθησόμεθα.
Habentes autem alimenta, et quibus tegamur, his contenti simus.
እምከመ ረከብነ ሲሳየነ ወዐራዘነ የአክለነ።
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
6:9
οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι πλουτεῖν ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν καὶ παγίδα καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς, αἵτινες βυθίζουσιν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν·
Nam qui volunt divites fieri, incidunt in tentationem, et in laqueum diaboli, et desideria multa inutilia, et nociva, quae mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem.
ወእለሰ ይፈቅዱ ይብዐሉ ይወድቁ ውስተ መንሱት ወብዙኅ መሣግረ ፍትወት ዘእበድ ዘይብእሶሙ ወዘያሠጥሞሙ ለሰብእ ውስተ ተሠርዎ ወሞት።
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
6:10
ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστιν ἡ φιλαργυρία, ἧς τινες ὀρεγόμενοι ἀπεπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως καὶ ἑαυτοὺς περιέπειραν ὀδύναις πολλαῖς.
Radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas : quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide, et inseruerunt se doloribus multis.
እስመ ሥርዉ ለኵሉ እኩይ አፍቅሮ ንዋይ እስመ ብዙኃን እለ በዛቲ ስሕቱ ወዐለዉ ሃይማኖቶሙ ወኀሠሡ ለርእሶሙ ብዙኀ መቅሠፍተ።
For 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.
6:11
Σὺ δέ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε· δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πραϋπαθίαν.
Tu autem, o homo Dei, haec fuge : sectare vero justitiam, pietatem, fidem, caritatem, patientiam, mansuetudinem.
ወአንተሰ ብእሴ እግዚአብሔር ጕየይ እምዝ ወዴግን ጽድቀ ወምሂረ ወሃይማኖተ ወተፋቅሮ ወትዕግሥተ ወትሕትና።
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
6:12
ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως, ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, εἰς ἣν ἐκλήθης καὶ ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων.
Certa bonum certamen fidei, apprehende vitam aeternam, in qua vocatus es, et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus.
ተጋደል ሠናየ ገድለ በሃይማኖት ለተመጥዎ ሕይወት ዘለዓለም ዘሎቱ ተጸዋዕከ ወአመንከ ሠናየ አሚነ በቅድመ ብዙኃን ሰማዕት።
Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
6:13
παραγγέλλω ἐνώπιον θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳογονοῦντος τὰ πάντα καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πειλάτου τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν,
Praecipio tibi coram Deo, qui vivificat omnia, et Christo Jesu, qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato, bonam confessionem,
ከመዝ እኤዝዘከ በቅድመ እግዚአብሔር ዘኵሎ ሙታነ ያሐዩ ወኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ዘኮነ ሰማዕተ በቅድመ ጲላጦስ ጴንጤናዊ።
I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
6:14
τηρῆσαί σε τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον ἀνεπίλημπτον μέχρι τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
ut serves mandatum sine macula, irreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
በሠናይ አሚን ከመ ትዕቀብ ዘንተ ትእዛዘ በንጽሕ እንዘ ኢታደሉ እስከ ምጽአቱ ለእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
6:15
ἣν καιροῖς ἰδίοις δείξει ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος δυνάστης, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων,
quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens, Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium :
ዘያስተርኢ በዕድሜሁ ዘባሕቲቱ ብፁዕ ወኀያል ንጉሠ ነገሥት ወእግዚአ አጋእዝት።
which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
6:16
ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται· ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος αἰώνιον· ἀμήν.
qui solus habet immortalitatem, et lucem inhabitat inaccessibilem : quem nullus hominum vidit, sed nec videre potest : cui honor, et imperium sempiternum. Amen.
ውእቱ ባሕቲቱ ዘኢይመውት ወቦቱ ብርሃን ዘኢይጠፍእ እምቅድመ ዓለም ዘአልቦ ዘርእዮ ሰብእ ወአልቦ ዘይክል ርእዮቶ ዘሎቱ ክብር ወስብሐት ወኀይል ለዓለመ ዓለም አሜን።
He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
6:17
Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε μὴ ὑψηλὰ φρονεῖν μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι, ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ θεῷ τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν πάντα πλουσίως εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν,
Divitibus hujus saeculi praecipe non sublime sapere, neque sperare in incerto divitiarum, sed in Deo vivo (qui praestat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum)
ለአብዕልተ ዝንቱኒ ዓለም አዝዞሙ ከመ ኢይትዐበዩ ወኢይትአመንዎ ለብዕሎሙ ኀላፊ ዘእንበለ በእግዚአብሔር ሕያው ዘውእቱ ይሁበነ በብዝኀ ብዕሉ ኵሎ ከመ ንትፈሣሕ።
Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;
6:18
ἀγαθοεργεῖν, πλουτεῖν ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς, εὐμεταδότους εἶναι, κοινωνικούς,
bene agere, divites fieri in bonis operibus, facile tribuere, communicare,
ከመ ይግበሩ ግብረ ሠናየ ወይብዐሉ በገቢረ ጽድቅ ወይኩኑ ራትዓነ፥ ወጸጋውያነ ወሱቱፋነ።
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
6:19
ἀποθησαυρίζοντας ἑαυτοῖς θεμέλιον καλὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται τῆς ὄντως ζωῆς.
thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum, ut apprehendant veram vitam.
ወይሣርሩ ለርእሶሙ መሠረተ ሠናየ ለዘይመጽእ ዓለም ከመ ይርከቡ ሕይወተ ዘበአማን።
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
6:20
Ὦ Τιμόθεε, τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον, ἐκτρεπόμενος τὰς βεβήλους κενοφωνίας καὶ ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως,
O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans profanas vocum novitates, et oppositiones falsi nominis scientiae,
ኦ! ጢሞቴዎስ ዕቀብ ማሕፀንተከ ተገኀሦሙ ለርኩሳን እለ ያመጽኡ ነገረ ከንቶ ወያሴስልዋ ለጽድቅ በሐሰት።
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
6:21
ἥν τινες ἐπαγγελλόμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἠστόχησαν. Ἡ χάρις μεθ’ ὑμῶν.
quam quidam promittentes, circa fidem exciderunt. Gratia tecum. Amen.
እስመ እሉ ስሕቱ እምተስፋ ሃይማኖት ጸጋ ምስሌከ አሜን። ተፈጸመት መልእክት ቀዳማዊት ኀበ ጢሞቴዎስ ወተጽሕፈት በአቴና ወተፈነወት በእደ ቲቶ። ወስብሐት ለእግዚአብሔር አሜን።
which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
