1 Timotheo 5
1 Kik idhaw gi ngʼama duongʼ gi dwol makwiny, to wuo kode mamuol giluor mana ka wuonu monywoli. Kaw yawuowi matindo ka oweteni,
Do not chide a senior, but exhort him as a father; and younger men as brethren:
2 to mon madongo kaw ka mineni, kendo mon matindo kaw ka nyimineni, e yo maler chutho.
the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Nyaka ipar mon ma chwogi otho modongʼ kendgi madwaro kony e yor adiera.
Honour widows who are widows indeed.
4 To ka dhako ma chwore otho moro nigi nyithindo kata nyikwayo to ber mondo gitingʼ nying Nyasaye malo kuom rito joodgi ka gikonyo jonywolgi gi kweregi kod deyegi, nikech timo kamano longʼo ni Nyasaye.
But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let these learn first to shew piety at home, and to make suitable returns to their parents: for this is becoming, and acceptable in the sight of God.
5 Dhako ma chwore otho keto genone duto kuom Nyasaye, kendo osiko olamo odiechiengʼ gotieno kokwayo Nyasaye mondo okonye.
Now she, that is really a widow and desolate, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 To dhako ma chwore otho mohero mor mar piny, osetho kata obedo ni pod ongima.
But she that indulgeth to luxury, is dead while she liveth.
7 Puonj ji wechegi bende, mondo kik ngʼato obed gi bura.
These things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Ka ngʼato ok orito wedene, to moloyo ka ok orito joode owuon, to osekwedo yie marwa, kendo orach moloyo japiny.
But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he hath renounced the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Dhako moro amora ma chwore otho ok nyal ndik nyinge kama indike nying mon ma chwogi otho ka hikgi ok oloyo higni piero auchiel, to bende nyaka bed ni ne osebedo ja-adiera e dakne gi chwore,
Let not a widow be chosen into the number under sixty years old,
10 kendo ongʼeye kuom timbene mabeyo kaka oserito nyithindo e yo mowinjore kendo osebedo kohero rwako welo e ode, kendo osebedo ka olwoko tiend jomaler kendo ka okonyo joma ni e chandruok, kochiwore chuth ni timo gik mabeyo duto.
having been the wife of one man: in repute for good actions, if she have educated children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, and diligently followed every good work.
11 Kik iyie mondo mon ma chwogi otho ma pod tindo ndik nying-gi kama indikoe nying mon ma chwogi otho. Nikech ka ringregi ohewogi gi gombo to giweyo Kristo ka gimanyo chwo mondo okendgi.
But the younger widows refuse: for when they grow wanton against Christ, they will needs marry:
12 Kuom mano gikelo kum kuomgi giwegi, nikech giseketho singruokgi mokwongo.
and are therefore to be condemned, because they violate their first faith.
13 To bende ewi mano, gibedo jo-samuoyo ma budho abudha, ka gibayo abaya e ute ji koni gi koni. Ok gibed mana jo-samuoyo ma budho abudha kende, to bende gibedo jokuoth ka gichuogore e weche ji mamoko kendo ka giwuoyo e weche ma ok onego giwuoye.
And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tatlers also and busy-bodies, talking of things unbecoming them.
14 Kuom mano daher mondo mon ma chwogi otho matindo okendi, mondo ginywol nyithindo, kendo girit utegi mondo kik gimi jasigu thuolo mar ketho nying joma oyie.
I would therefore have the younger widows marry, bear children, manage houshold affairs, and give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.
15 Chutho, moko odok chien mi koro giluwo Satan.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 To ka ngʼama oyie moro odak gi mon ma chwogi otho e dalane, onego okonygi en owuon mondo kik kanisa bed gi tingʼ mapek mar ritogi, eka kanisa okony mon ma chwogi otho mamoko man kendgi chuth maonge ngʼama nyalo konyogi.
And if any believer have relations widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve those that are indeed widows and desolate.
17 Jodong kanisa morito weche mag kanisa onego yud pok margi nyadiriyo, to moloyo jodongo ma tichgi en yalo kod puonjo wach Nyasaye.
Let the elders, who preside well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those that labour in preaching and teaching.
18 Nimar Ndiko owacho niya, “Kik utwe dho dhiangʼ kaywayo lodi ma idinogo cham,” kendo niya, “Jatich ber gi chudo kuom tije motiyo.”
For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn:" and, "The workman is worthy of his hire."
19 Kik iyie gi ketho modonjnego jaduongʼ kanisa kaonge joneno ariyo kata adek.
Receive not an accusation against an elder, unless from two or three witnesses.
20 Joma osiko timo richo nyaka kwer ratiro e nyim ji eka joma moko obed maluor.
Those that offend reprove before all, that others also may fear.
21 Achiki e nyim Nyasaye kendo e nyim Kristo Yesu, kaachiel gi malaika moyier, ni mondo ilu puonjgi adimba ma ok idewo wangʼ ngʼato kendo ma ok idok kor ngʼato angʼata.
I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou keep to these things without preference of persons, doing nothing with partiality.
22 Kik irikni yieyo lwedo kuom ji, kendo kik iriwri e richo ji mamoko. Ritri mondo ngimani osik kaler.
Lay hands on no man precipitately, and be not hereby a partaker in the sins of others. Keep thyself pure.
23 Ok onego imodh pi kende, to madh divai matin mondo okonyni iyi nikech midekre ma in-go pile.
Drink no longer water only, but use a little wine with it, for the sake of thy stomach and thy frequent infirmities.
24 Jomoko richogi ongʼongʼore kendo otelo nyimgi ka terogi e bura to richo jomoko to opondo kendo luwo bangʼ-gi.
The sins of some men are notorious, leading as it were to their condemnation; and some more artful they follow after.
25 Mano bende e kaka tim ngʼato makare bende ongʼongʼore, kendo kata mana mago motimo mopondo fwenyore bangʼe.
So also the good works of some are manifest; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
