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;
Kadi temina nunu mu kingolo vayi wunlubula banga dise diaku. Lubula bamatoko banga bakhomba zi babakala;
2 with old women, like mothers; with young women, in all chastity, like sisters.
baketo bayunduka banga zingudi; bandumba banga bakhomba zi baketo, mu buvedila boso.
3 Honor those widows who are true widows.
Kinzikanga mafuola, momo madi mafuola mu bukiedika.
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.
Vayi enati difuola dibeki bana voti batekolo, buna bika balonguka theti mu tuama vanga mavanga mawu ma kinzambi kuidi basi nzo awu. Buna buawu bobo bela vutudila mambote kuidi bambuta ziawu ayizikhaya ziawu bila diambu diodi dimmonisanga Nzambi khini.
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.
Difuola diodi didi difuola di kiedika ayi widi niandi veka, wuntulanga diana diandi mu Nzambi builu ayi muini. Wuntatamananga mu zindombolo ayi mu lusambulu.
6 For she who is living in pleasures is dead, while living.
Vayi difuola dinzingilanga mu makhini didi difua, ka diambu ko dilembo zingi.
7 And give instruction in this, so that they may be beyond reproach.
Kindisa mambu mama muingi bakambu tsembolo.
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.
Vayi enati mutu kasadisanga ko basi dikanda diandi, viokila basi nzo andi buna niandi wuluzodi minu ayi mutu wowo viatukidi mutu wukambuwilukila mu mambu mambimbi.
9 Let a widow be chosen who is no less than sixty years of age, who was the wife of one husband,
Kadi difuola dilendi sonoko ko mu nkanda wu mafuola enati kadukisi ko makumasambanu ma mimvu ayi enati kasia kuelo ko kuidi bakala dimosi.
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.
Kafueti telumunu kimbangi mu diambu di mavanga mandi mambote, enati wuyundula bumboti bana bandi, enati wuyakula bumboti banzenza, enati wusukula malu ma banlongo, enati wusadisa batu baba mu ziphasi voti wuvanga mavanga mambote ma phila mu phila.
11 But avoid the younger widows. For once they have flourished in Christ, they will want to marry,
Vayi kadi kikinina sonika mafuola makidi bana balezi; bila zitsatu ziawu zilenda ku bavambisa mu kisalu ki Klisto ayi belabuela tomba kuela.
12 resulting in damnation, because they have disregarded the primacy of faith.
Buna bela tambula thumbudulu bila baloza minu kiawu kithete.
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.
Baketo beni beti longuka bumolo bu beti viokisa thangu mu kuenda diengilanga mu zinzo zingana; bika zia ti bumolo kaka vayibeti kotanga mu mambu mangana, bu beti tuba mambu makambulu fuana.
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.
Diawu thidi ti mafuola makidi bana balezi makuela kuawu; mabuta bana, makeba zinzo ziawu mu diambu di bika vana diluaku kuidi bambeni mu diambu di vueza.
15 For certain ones have already been turned back to Satan.
Bila bawombo bankaka bavengama mu diambu di landakana Satana.
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.
Enati nkhuikizi wu bakala voti wu nketo beki mafuola mu nzo andi, buna bika kama sadisanga ayi mabika singimina mu dibundu muingi dibundu dibaka bu sadisila momo madi khatika mafuola.
17 Let priests who lead well be held worthy of twice the honor, especially those who labor in the Word and in doctrine.
Bika bakulutu bobo bandiatisanga bumboti dibundu batambula mfutu mu zikhumbu zizole, viokila bobo bakiyekula mu samuna mambu ma Nzambi ayi mu longa.
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.”
Bila masonuku meta tuba ti: Kadi kanga munu wu ngombi bu kandiata zitheti zi ble ayi kisadi kifueni mu tambula mfutu andi.
19 Do not be willing to accept an accusation against a priest, except under two or three witnesses.
Enati biza kufundila nkulutu wu Dibundu, lenda kikinina mambu beni enati mfundi neti bambangi buadi voti zitatu.
20 Reprove sinners in the sight of everyone, so that the others may have fear.
Mu diambu di batu bobo bamvolanga masumu, wuba temina va meso mabatu boso muingi bankaka bamona boma.
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.
Minu ndikutumina va meso ma Nzambi ayi ma Klisto Yesu ayi mazimbasi zisobolo, mu keba mambu momo mu kambu thalu zizi ayi mu kambu tulaluviakunu kuidi batu.
22 You should not be quick to impose hands on anyone, nor should you take part in the sins of outsiders. Keep yourself chaste.
Kadi kuenda thinu mu tetika mutu mioko, kadi fubakana mu masumu ma batu bankaka. Wukikeba ngeyo veka wuvedila.
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.
Bika buela nuanga wo nlangu yi nlangu kaka vayi nuanga ndambu yi vinu mu diambu di dikutu diaku, ayi mu diambu di kambu kuaku ku buvini ku zithangu ka thangu.
24 The sins of some men have been made manifest, preceding them to judgment, but those of others are manifested later.
Masumu ma batu bankaka meta monika tuamina basambusu vayi bankakamamonikanga ku nzimunina.
25 Similarly, too, good deeds have been made manifest, but even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.
Bobuawu, mavanga mamboti meti monikanga mu nsualu vayi momo mambimbi malendi baka bu suamina ko.
