1 Timothy 5
1 You should not rebuke an old man, but rather plead with him, as if he were your father; with young men, like brothers;
Kaua e whakatupehupehu ki te kaumatua; engari ata korerotia atu ano he matua; ko nga taitamariki hoki ano he teina;
2 with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters.
Ko nga ruruhi ano he whaea; ko nga wahine taitamariki ano he tuahine, i runga i nga whakaaro ma katoa.
3 Honor those widows who are true widows.
Whakahonoretia nga pouaru, ara nga tino pouaru.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let her first learn to manage her own household, and to fulfill, in turn, her own obligation to her parents; for this is acceptable before God.
Ki te mea ia he tamariki, he mokopuna ranei a tetahi pouaru, kia whakaakona ratou i te tuatahi kia whakaaro tika ki to ratou whare ake, kia utua hoki ta nga matua; he mea pai hoki tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua.
5 But she who is truly a widow and is destitute, let her hope in God, and let her be urgent in supplications and prayers, night and day.
Na ko te tino pouaru, ko te mea mokemoke, e tumanako ana ia ki te Atua, e mau tonu ana ki nga inoi, ki nga karakia, i te po, i te ao.
6 For she who is living in pleasures is dead, while living.
Ko te pouaru ia e whai ana ki nga ahuareka a te tinana he tupapaku ia, ahakoa ora.
7 And give instruction in this, so that they may be beyond reproach.
Akona atu enei mea, kei ekengia ratou e te kupu.
8 But if anyone has no concern for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.
Engari ki te kore tetahi e whakaaro ki ona ake, a ki te hunga rawa ano o tona whare, kua whakakahoretia e ia te whakapono, a he kino atu tana i ta te tangata whakaponokore.
9 Let a widow be chosen who is no less than sixty years of age, who was the wife of one husband,
Kaua tetahi e whakaurua ki te rarangi o nga pouaru i te mea kahore ano ona tau i ona tekau, hei te wahine i tuturu ki te tane kotahi,
10 who has testimony of her good works: whether she has educated children, or has provided hospitality, or has washed the feet of the saints, or has ministered to those suffering tribulation, or has pursued any kind of good work.
Hei te mea e whakaaetia ana ana mahi pai; mehemea ia i whakatupu tamariki, mehemea ia i atawhai manuhiri, mehemea i horoi i nga waewae o te hunga tapu, mehemea i manaaki i te hunga e tukinotia ana, mehemea ia i whai ki nga mahi pai katoa.
11 But avoid the younger widows. For once they have flourished in Christ, they will want to marry,
Ko nga pouaru taitamariki ia me whakarere; ki te tupu hoki to ratou whakaaro poauau takahi i ta te Karaiti, ka hiahia ki te marena;
12 resulting in damnation, because they have disregarded the primacy of faith.
Ka tau te he ki a ratou, no te mea kua whakarerea e ratou to ratou whakapono tuatahi.
13 And being at the same time also idle, they learn to go from house to house, being not only idle, but also talkative and curious, speaking of things which do not concern them.
Ka ako ano hoki ratou ki te noho mangere, ki te haereere noa ki tetahi whare, ki tetahi whare: a ehara i te mea ko te mangere kau, he mate korerorero ano ia to ratou, he pokanoa ki ta tera, ki ta tera, ko ta ratou e korero ai ko nga mea e kore e tika.
14 Therefore, I want the younger women to marry, to procreate children, to be mothers of families, to provide no ready opportunity for the adversary to speak evil.
Koia ahau ka mea ai kia marena nga pouaru taitamariki, kia whanau tamariki, kia tohutohu i nga mea o te whare, kia kaua e hoatu ki te hoariri tetahi take tawai:
15 For certain ones have already been turned back to Satan.
Kua tahuri ke nei hoki etahi ki te whai i a Hatana.
16 If any among the faithful have widows, let him minister to them and not burden the Church, so that there may be enough for those who are true widows.
Ki te mea he pouaru a tetahi tangata whakapono, a tetahi wahine whakapono ranei, mana ano ratou e atawhai, kaua hoki te hahi e whakataimahatia; ko ana hoki e atawhai ai ko nga tino pouaru.
17 Let priests who lead well be held worthy of twice the honor, especially those who labor in the Word and in doctrine.
Kia nui ake te honore mo nga kaumatua e tohutohu pai ana; engari rawa ia mo te hunga ko ta ratou nei mahi ko te kupu, ko te whakaako.
18 For Scripture says: “You shall not muzzle an ox as it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his pay.”
E mea ana hoki te karaipiture, Kaua e whakamokatia te mangai o te kau patu witi: me tenei hoki, Ka tika te utu mo te kaimahi.
19 Do not be willing to accept an accusation against a priest, except under two or three witnesses.
Kaua e whakarongo ki te whakawa mo te kaumatua, kia puta ra ano i nga mangai o etahi kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei.
20 Reprove sinners in the sight of everyone, so that the others may have fear.
Ko te hunga hara riria i te aroaro o te katoa, kia mataku ai hoki era atu.
21 I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect Angels, that you should observe these things without prejudgment, doing nothing which shows favoritism to either side.
Ko taku kupu nui tenei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Ihu hoki, a o nga anahera whiriwhiri, puritia enei mea, kaua e pokaia he tikanga, kaua e mahi i runga i te whakahoa.
22 You should not be quick to impose hands on anyone, nor should you take part in the sins of outsiders. Keep yourself chaste.
Kei hohoro te whakapa i nga ringaringa ki tetahi tangata, kaua ano e uru ki nga hara o te tangata ke: kia mau tou harakore.
23 Do not continue to drink only water, but make use of a little wine, for the sake of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.
Kati tou inu wai; engari hei te waina mau, kia iti, hei mea mo tou puku, mo ou mate e honohono na.
24 The sins of some men have been made manifest, preceding them to judgment, but those of others are manifested later.
Ko nga hara o etahi tangata marama noa ake, e haere ana i mua ki te whakawakanga; ko o etahi ia e whai mai ana i muri i a ratou.
25 Similarly, too, good deeds have been made manifest, but even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.
Waihoki ko nga mahi pai e marama noa ake ana; a, ko nga mea e rere ke ana e kore e taea te huna.
