1 Timoteovi 5
1 Staršího zuřivě netresci, ale napomínej jako otce, mladších jako bratří,
Do not rebuke/scold older men. Instead, exhort/advise them [respectfully] as you would [exhort/advise] your father. Exhort/advise younger men [gently] as you would exhort/advise your brothers.
2 Starých žen jako matek, mladic jako sestr, ve vší čistotě.
[Exhort/advise] older women [respectfully] as [you would exhort/advise] your mother. [Exhort/advise] younger women [gently] as [you would exhort/advise] your sisters; but you must act in a completely proper way as you do that.
3 Vdovy měj v uctivosti, kteréž pravé vdovy jsou.
[Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.
4 Pakli která vdova syny nebo vnuky má, nechažť se oni učí předně k svému domu pobožnosti dokazovati, a zase rodičům se odplacovati; neboť jest to chvalitebné a vzácné před obličejem Božím.
If a widow has children or grandchildren, these [children or grandchildren] should learn that they are to take care of their own family first. By doing that they can repay their parents and grandparents for all that they did for them when they were young, because doing that pleases God.
5 Kterážť pak právě vdova jest a osaměla, máť naději v Bohu, a trváť na modlitbách a svatých žádostech dnem i nocí.
The widows who are really alone and have no one [to help them] confidently expect that God [will help them]. So night and day they pray, earnestly asking [DOU] [God that he will help them and others].
6 Ale rozkošná, ta živa jsuci, již umřela.
But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.
7 Protož jim to přikaž, ať jsou bez úhony.
And tell [the congregation] that [the children or grandchildren should do] these things in order that [no one] can (criticize the believers/say that the believers are doing anything that is wrong).
8 Jestliže pak kdo o své, a zvláště o domácí péče nemá, zapřelť jest víry, a jest horší nežli nevěřící.
If anyone does not take care of those who live in his own house, and especially if he does not take care of his own family, he has (denied/quit believing) what we believe and [we should consider that] he is worse than a person who does not believe [in Christ].
9 Vdova buď vyvolená, kteráž by neměla méně šedesáti let, kteráž byla jednoho muže manželka,
[You have a list of] widows [who will do work for the congregation and receive money]. Put women’s names on the list [only if] they are more than 60 years old, and if they were faithful to their husbands.
10 O níž by svědectví bylo, že dobré skutky činila; a jestliže dítky své zbožně vychovala, do domu pocestné přijímala, jestliže svatým nohy umývala, jestliže bídným posluhovala, jestliže každého skutku dobrého pilná byla.
[Put women’s names on that list only] if it is known that they have wholeheartedly done every kind of good deed, if they have helped [children] who were afflicted/suffering, if they have (brought up/cared for) their children [properly/well], if they have welcomed and cared for guests, and if they have humbly served [MTY] other believers.
11 Ale mladých vdov nepřijímej; nebo když, nedbajíce na Krista, v chlipnost se vydadí, teprv se vdávati chtějí,
As for younger widows, do not put their names on that list, because they [promise to do work for the congregation, but instead of doing that, they usually] want to marry [again] (OR, marry an unbeliever) when they have a strong desire to get married.
12 Jsouce již hodné odsouzení, protože první víru zrušily.
If that happens, they may become guilty of not having done what they had promised [to do for the congregation] (OR, promised [Christ that they would do].)
13 Nýbrž také i zahálejíce, učí se choditi po domích; a netoliko nedělné, ale jsou i klevetné a všetečné, mluvíce, což nesluší.
In addition, they [generally] become lazy. Specifically, as they [just] go about from house to house, they also begin (to gossip/to talk about people) and to meddle in other people’s affairs, saying what they should not say.
14 Protož chci, aby se mladší vdávaly, děti rodily, hospodyně byly, a tak žádné příčiny protivníku nedávaly ku pomlouvání.
So I advise that [instead of putting the names of younger widows on the list, they] marry again, that they bear/have children, that they manage their homes [well], and that they do nothing for which an enemy can say bad things about [them].
15 Nebo již se některé uchýlily zpět po satanovi.
[I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.
16 Protož má-liť kdo věřící neb která věřící vdovy, opatrujž je, a nebuď obtěžována církev, aby těm, kteréž právě vdovy jsou, postačilo.
If any woman who believes [in Christ] has widows [in her household/family], she should take care of them. The congregation should not be burdened by having {She should not depend on the congregation} to take care of their [needs]. The congregation should take care of the widows who truly [have no one to care for them].
17 Předložení, kteříž dobře spravují, dvojí cti hodni jmíni buďte, zvláště ti, kteříž pracují v slovu Božím a v učení.
[Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.
18 Nebo praví Písmo: Volu mlátícímu nezavížeš úst. A hodenť jest dělník své mzdy.
[Long ago Moses] wrote in the Scriptures, “While an ox is threshing [grain], you must not tie its mouth [so that it cannot eat the grain],” and [Jesus said], “[People] should pay those who work [for their benefit].” [So we know that congregations should support their leaders].
19 Proti staršímu žaloby nepřijímej, leč pode dvěma nebo třmi svědky.
When some person accuses an elder [about doing wrong], accept what he says only if there are [at least] two or three persons who (testify/say [that]) [they saw him do that wrong].
20 Ty pak, kteříž hřeší, přede všemi tresci, aby i jiní bázeň měli.
But as for any [elder] who repeatedly sins, rebuke him before the whole congregation, in order that the rest [of the elders] will be afraid [to sin].
21 Osvědčujiť před obličejem Božím a Pána Jezukrista, i vyvolených andělů jeho, abys těchto věcí ostříhal bez přijímání osob, nic nečině podle náchylnosti.
I solemnly tell you that [as you keep in mind that] God and Christ Jesus and the holy angels know everything that you do, obey these commands [about elders]! [As you consider what others say about an elder doing wrong], do not easily/quickly decide that what they say is true. And treat them all equally.
22 Nevzkládej rukou rychle na nižádného, a nepřiúčastňuj se hříchům cizím. Sebe samého ostříhej v čistotě.
Do not be in a hurry to put your hands on a man ([to set him apart/to appoint him]) [as an elder. Wait until you have examined him to see how he conducts his life], because [God will consider] that you are responsible if [you approve] a person who sins, saying that he should [become an elder]. Keep your life pure in every way.
23 Nepij již více vody, ale vína skrovně užívej, pro svůj žaludek a časté nemoci své.
[And Timothy], no longer drink [only] water, but instead, drink a little wine [also], because [that may help to cure] your stomach’s frequent illnesses.
24 Některých lidí hříchové prve zjevní jsou, předcházející soud, některých pak i následují.
[I tell you not] ([to set apart/appoint]) [elders hastily, without seeing how they conduct their lives, because] some people [sin secretly], so that it is not known what they have done until after someone examines them (OR, before God judges them). But some people sin openly, so that people know what they have done before anyone examines them.
25 A takž také i skutkové dobří prve zjevní jsou. Což pak jest jinak, ukrýti se nemůže.
Similarly, although [some people] do good things openly, with the result that people know what they have done, some people [do good things secretly], yet the good things that they have done cannot remain secret either.
