1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder sharply, but exhort [him] as a father, younger [men] as brethren,
Cima addeta ne aawada bonchchafe attin hanqettofa. Yalaga addeta ne ishada oothada xeella.
2 elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
Cima maccasata ne aayida, yalaga maccasata ne michchida, polo geeshshatethan oykka.
3 Honour widows who are really widows;
Azini hayqqida tuma am77eta bonchcha.
4 but if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to [their] parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
Shin am77ees nayti woykko nayta nayti de7ikko, he nayti tuma ayyaana de7on de7eyssa bessanaw banttana yelidayssatanne, bantta wogga aayiwunne wogga aawa maaddidi kushe zaaro tamaaro. Hessi Xoossaa ufayssiyabaa.
5 Now she who [is] a widow indeed, and is left alone, has put [her] hope in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
Barkka de7iya tuma am77iya Xoossafe maade demmanaw ufayssan naagasu. Gallasinne qamma Xoossay bana maaddana mela woossawusunne oychchawusu.
6 But she that lives in habits of self-indulgence is dead [while] living.
Shin ha alamiyan lo77o duussaa xalaala koyaa am77iya paxa de7ashe hayqqidaaro.
7 And these things enjoin, that they may be irreproachable.
Oonikka entta boronna mela ha kiitaa enttaw imma.
8 But if any one does not provide for his own, and specially for those of [his] house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbeliever.
Shin ba dabbotas, ubbaafe aathidi ba soo asaas qopponna oonikka ba ammanuwa kaddidayssa; ammanonna asappeka aadhdhida iita.
9 Let a widow be put upon the list, being of not less than sixty years, [having been] wife of one man,
Laythi usuppun tammu kumiboonna am77ee sunthaa mazggaban xaafoppa. Qassi hessa bolla iya ba azinaas ammanettidaaro gidanaw koshshees.
10 borne witness to in good works, if she have brought up children, if she have exercised hospitality, if she have washed saints' feet, if she have imparted relief to the distressed, if she have diligently followed every good work.
Nayta dishon, imatha mokon, geeshshata tohuwa meechchan, metootiya asaa maaden, lo77o ooso ubbaas bana aatha immidaaronne lo77o ooson erettidaaro gidanaw bessees.
11 But younger widows decline; for when they grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
Shin yalaga am77eta sunthaa mazggaban xaafoppa. Enttana azina gelo gelo giya asho amoy oykkiya wode Kiristtoosa aggana.
12 being guilty, because they have cast off their first faith.
Entti koyro gelida qaala menthida gisho pirddettana.
13 And, at the same time, they learn also [to be] idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming.
Hessa bolla entti ooso dhayidi keethafe keethe yuuyana. Yuushsha xalaala gidonnashin, zigirssaninne bantana gathonnaban gelidi bessonnabaa odettoosona.
14 I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach.
Hessa gisho, nu morkketi nu bolla odettiya iitabaa demmonna mela yalaga am77eti azina gelidi, na7a yelidi, bantta keethaa aysana mela zorays.
15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
Hayssafe kase guutha am77eti Xalahe kaallanaw guye simmidosona.
16 If any believing man or woman have widows, let them impart relief to them, and let not the assembly be charged, that it may impart relief to those [that are] widows indeed.
Issi ammaniyaa maccasees soo asaa giddon am77eti de7ikko iya entta maaddanaw bessees. Hessada oothiko, woosa keethaas toohoy kawuyees. He wode woosa keethay maade bessiya tuma am77eta maaddanaw dandda7awusu.
17 Let the elders who take the lead [among the saints] well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and teaching;
Woosa keethi loythi heemmiya cimati, ubbaafe aathidi, qaala sabbakoninne tamaarsson daabureyssati dakko bonchcho ekkanaw bessees.
18 for the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman [is] worthy of his hire.
Geeshsha Maxaafay, “Wudumman kathaa yedhdhiya booraa doona qachchofa” hessadakka, “Oosanchchoy ba damooziya ekkanaw bessees” yaagees.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation unless where there are two or three witnesses.
Nam77u woykko heedzu markki baynna, woosa keetha cima mootiyabaa si7oppa.
20 Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear.
Harati yayyana mela nagara oothiya oonakka asa ubbaa sinthan hanqetta.
21 I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour.
Neeni asa som77o be7onna, issuwa issuwafe dummayonna ha kiitaa naagana mela Xoossaa, Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosanne doorettida kiitanchchota sinthan ta nena zorays.
22 Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' sins. Keep thyself pure.
Oode bollaka ne kushiya wothada shuumanaw ellessoppa. Harata nagaran geloppa; nena geeshshatethan naaga.
23 Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.
Neeni ubba wode harggettiya gishonne ne ulo harggiya gisho haatha xalaala uyoppa; guutha woyne uya.
24 Of some men the sins are manifest beforehand, going before to judgment, and some also they follow after.
Issi issi asata nagaray qoncce; entta nagaray entta pirddanaw enttafe sinthe aadhdhees, shin harata nagaray guyeppe gam77idi qonccees.
25 In like manner good works also are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Hessada, lo77o oosoykka qoncce; qoncconna ixxikokka geemmanaw dandda7enna.
