1 Timothy 5
1 An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
Utanokkalalili mwaalumi mupati. Aboobo, komunyampula mbuli mukuti ngundeende. Kobanyampula baalumi banini mbuli bakulana,
2 Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
banakazi bapati mbuli mamama, alimwi basimbi banini mbuli bachizi, mubusalali boonse.
3 Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
Lemeka bamukabafu, bamukabafu banchoonzyo.
4 But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
Pesi kuti mukamufu kali aabana na bazukulu, ngabatangune lwabo kwiiya kutondezya kulemeka mun'anda yabo beni. Ngababweedezezye bazyali babo nkaambo eechi chilbotezya kuli Leza.
5 But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
Pesi kulooyo mukamufu wanchoonzyo, uucheede kali alike, ubikide bulangilizi bwakwe kuliLeza akwwinkilila kunembo mukuchita nkumbizyo alimwi akupa nkombyo mansiku a sikati.
6 For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
Nikubaboobo, mwanakazi uupona chakulikondelezya ulifwide nikuba kachipona.
7 And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
Mubululami layilila eezi lubo, kuchitila kuti batabi amulandu.
8 But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Pesi na umwi katakonzyi kupa banzubo zyakwe, kapati kuli aabo bamun'anda yakwe, unoli wakaka lusyomo alimwi wabija kwiinda utasyomi.
9 Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
Leka mwanakazi alembwe mbuli mukamufu utali munini kuminyaka iili makkumi aali musanu alimwi kukomena, kali mwanakazi wa mulumi uumwi.
10 Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.
Uli aampuwo yakuchita milimu mibotu, nikuba kuti wakabambide bana, na wakali kusamawusya beenzu, na wali kusanzya mawulu aabasalali baLeza, na wakalikulemutuzya bali aamapenzi, na wakalilipedelede kumilimu yoonse mibotu.
11 But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
Pesi kuli bamukabafu bachili banini, kaka kubalemba mulibamwi. Nkaambo elyo bakuzundwa kuziyandisyo zyanyama kukubukila Kkilisito bayanda kukkwatwa.
12 Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
Muliyeeyi nzila bayojana milandu nkaambo banoli bakachilwa mukulipeda kwabo kutaanzi.
13 And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Muchiindi nchicheecho, bayoyiya kuba bakandu akweenda chakuzyunguluka kuzwa kun'anda akun'anda. Tabakoyooba bakandu biyo pe, pesi bayowambuula zitakwe munse akunjila zyaambo zyabamwi, kabaamba zintu nzibateelede kwaamba.
14 I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
Nkinkaako ndiyanda banakazi banini kuti bakkwatwe kuti bazyale bana, kuti babambe mpuli, alimwi akutapa mweenya kuli sinkondonyina kuti atwaambe bubi.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Mbuli bamwi mbubakabwedela kuli Satani.
16 If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.
Na kuti kakuli mwanakazi musyomi uli abamukabafu, ngabagwasye, kuchitila kuti imbungano itabi aamukuli, kuti igwasizye bamukabafu banchoonzyo.
17 Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
Leka bapati bembungano beendelezya kabotu bapegwe bulemu bwiindulwidwe, kwaambisya aabo babeleka ajwi alimwi amukuyiisya.
18 For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
Mbuli makani mabotu mbawamba kuti, “Utamwaangi kumulomo musune aawo nachilyatila zilyo” alimwi “Similimu uleelede kujana mpindu yakwe.”
19 Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
Utatambuli kubejelezya kwiiminana abapati, adukuti kube babili na batatu bapa bukamboni.
20 Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
Lulamika basizibi kunembo lyabantu boonse kuchitila kuti bamwi bayowe.
21 I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.
Mubululami ndakulayilila iwe, kunembo lyaLeza aJesu Kkilisito akubangelo basale, kukubamba malayilile chakutabasikusaluuzya, akutachita chimwi chintu chakuteelanya.
22 Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.
Utabiki maanza chakufwambana aluumwi. Utaabilani muzibi zyawumwi muntu. Weelede kulibamba chabusalali.
23 Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
Tucheelede limbi kunywa manzi. Aboobo, uyeelede kunywa wayini muche kuchitila bula amalwazi aako akkala kakuchisa.
24 Some men’s sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
Zibi zyabamwi bantu zilizibikene aantanganana, alimwi zyeenda kunembo lyabo mulubeta. Pesi zibi zimwi zitobela musule.
25 In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
Mbubonya oobo, imwi milimu mibotu ilizibidwe antaanganana, pesi nikuba imwi tikonzyi kusisigwa.
