1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:
tvaM prAcInaM na bhartsaya kintu taM pitaramiva yUnazca bhrAtRniva
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
vRddhAH striyazca mAtRniva yuvatIzca pUrNazucitvena bhaginIriva vinayasva|
3 Honor widows that are widows indeed.
aparaM satyavidhavAH sammanyasva|
4 But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
kasyAzcid vidhavAyA yadi putrAH pautrA vA vidyante tarhi te prathamataH svIyaparijanAn sevituM pitroH pratyupakarttuJca zikSantAM yatastadevezvarasya sAkSAd uttamaM grAhyaJca karmma|
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
aparaM yA nArI satyavidhavA nAthahInA cAsti sA IzvarasyAzraye tiSThantI divAnizaM nivedanaprArthanAbhyAM kAlaM yApayati|
6 But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.
kintu yA vidhavA sukhabhogAsaktA sA jIvatyapi mRtA bhavati|
7 These things also command, that they may be without reproach.
ataeva tA yad aninditA bhaveyUstadartham etAni tvayA nidizyantAM|
8 But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
yadi kazcit svajAtIyAn lokAn vizeSataH svIyaparijanAn na pAlayati tarhi sa vizvAsAd bhraSTo 'pyadhamazca bhavati|
9 Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man,
vidhavAvarge yasyA gaNanA bhavati tayA SaSTivatsarebhyo nyUnavayaskayA na bhavitavyaM; aparaM pUrvvam ekasvAmikA bhUtvA
10 well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.
sA yat zizupoSaNenAtithisevanena pavitralokAnAM caraNaprakSAlanena kliSTAnAm upakAreNa sarvvavidhasatkarmmAcaraNena ca satkarmmakaraNAt sukhyAtiprAptA bhavet tadapyAvazyakaM|
11 But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
kintu yuvatI rvidhavA na gRhANa yataH khrISTasya vaiparItyena tAsAM darpe jAte tA vivAham icchanti|
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
tasmAcca pUrvvadharmmaM parityajya daNDanIyA bhavanti|
13 And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
anantaraM tA gRhAd gRhaM paryyaTantya AlasyaM zikSante kevalamAlasyaM nahi kintvanarthakAlApaM parAdhikAracarccAJcApi zikSamANA anucitAni vAkyAni bhASante|
14 I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:
ato mameccheyaM yuvatyo vidhavA vivAhaM kurvvatAm apatyavatyo bhavantu gRhakarmma kurvvatAJcetthaM vipakSAya kimapi nindAdvAraM na dadatu|
15 for already some are turned aside after Satan.
yata itaH pUrvvam api kAzcit zayatAnasya pazcAdgAminyo jAtAH|
16 If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
aparaM vizvAsinyA vizvAsino vA kasyApi parivArANAM madhye yadi vidhavA vidyante tarhi sa tAH pratipAlayatu tasmAt samitau bhAre 'nAropite satyavidhavAnAM pratipAlanaM karttuM tayA zakyate|
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
ye prAJcaH samitiM samyag adhitiSThanti vizeSata IzvaravAkyenopadezena ca ye yatnaM vidadhate te dviguNasyAdarasya yogyA mAnyantAM|
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire.
yasmAt zAstre likhitamidamAste, tvaM zasyamarddakavRSasyAsyaM mA badhAneti, aparamapi kAryyakRd vetanasya yogyo bhavatIti|
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses.
dvau trIn vA sAkSiNo vinA kasyAcit prAcInasya viruddham abhiyogastvayA na gRhyatAM|
20 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
aparaM ye pApamAcaranti tAn sarvveSAM samakSaM bhartsayasva tenApareSAmapi bhIti rjaniSyate|
21 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
aham Izvarasya prabho ryIzukhrISTasya manonItadivyadUtAnAJca gocare tvAm idam AjJApayAmi tvaM kasyApyanurodhena kimapi na kurvvana vinApakSapAtam etAna vidhIn pAlaya|
22 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
kasyApi mUrddhi hastAparNaM tvarayA mAkArSIH| parapApAnAJcAMzI mA bhava| svaM zuciM rakSa|
23 Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
aparaM tavodarapIDAyAH punaH puna durbbalatAyAzca nimittaM kevalaM toyaM na pivan kiJcin madyaM piva|
24 Some men’s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after.
keSAJcit mAnavAnAM pApAni vicArAt pUrvvaM keSAJcit pazcAt prakAzante|
25 In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
tathaiva satkarmmANyapi prakAzante tadanyathA sati pracchannAni sthAtuM na zaknuvanti|
