1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,
Han da tundi o nikpelo leni ku fuugu. Ama han tundi o nani o tie a baa yeni, han tundi bi jawaaba nani bi tie a waamu yeni.
2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
Ki tundi apociana nani bi tie a naanba yeni bi jafanba mo nani bi tie anataanpola yeni, leni li pienli kuli.9
3 Give financial support to widows who are really ‘widows’.
Han yaa jigini yaa kpepuona n ki pia kubikaaba.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to demonstrate piety in their own household by repaying their parents, for this is pleasing to God.
Li kpepuoli ya pia a bila, bi yaa bila, li pundi ban bandi ki yaa tiendi yaala n pundi yua nhua U Tienu n baa tiendi yaala o danba po, ki guani bi danba bi hanma. Kelima lani ntie yaala n mani U Tienu.
5 Now she who is really a widow and desolate has set her hope on God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
Ya kpepuoli n ye o bebe kaa pia kubikoa ki bili o suginma U T ienu kani, ki miadi o u yensiinu leni ku ñiagu kuli ke wan yaa todi o.
6 But she who indulges in pleasure is dead while she lives.
Ya kpepuoli n puni o yuli li handunli jeligu po kpe baa ke o da fo.
7 You should even command these things, so that they may be blameless.
Han ya wangi ba lan kuli ki tundi ba, ki tundiba ke ban da pia ban baa fidi ki kuliba leni yaala.
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
O nilo yaa kubi o niba, yaala n tugi liyuli tie o dieceli niba, o nia li dandanli, o go bia ki cie yua n kaa daani.
9 No widow should be enrolled unless she is at least sixty, a one man wife,
Han da diani kpepuoli yeli akpepuona tili nni o yaa pundi bina piiluoba, ki den pia ja yendo,
10 known for good works—she brought up children, she lodged strangers, she washed saints' feet, she relieved the afflicted, she devoted herself to every good work.
ki tie bi niba n pagi yua o tuohanma po, ki go tie yua n den wubi abila, ki gaani bi canba cangu leni ma buama, ki nigidi bi nigagidihanba taana, ki todi yaaba n ye leni fala ki tieni a tuonhanma buolu kuli.
11 As for younger widows, do not enroll them; because whenever they are controlled by sensual desires rather than by Christ, they want to marry,
Han da tuo ki diani ya kpepuoli n da paani kelima o gbannandi ya paadi o ke obua ki kuni ojoa, o baa lebidi ki ha kilisiti ki, baa
12 coming under judgment because they have broken their first commitment.
itagili nni ki ha wan den kpa niani yaa ñoanianu.
13 Not only that, they learn to be idle, going around from house to house; and not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.
Bi go tua bi kpadijedanba ki goadi ki gaandi ti diedi nni, lani bebe ka bi go tua maciandanba leni kulikundi niba ki maadi lan kaa pundi ban maadi ya maama.
14 So I want the younger widows to marry, to bear children, to manage the home, to give the adversary no occasion for caustic comments.
Lani yaapo, n bua ke yaa kpuona n da paani n kuni bi jaba, ki maa a bila, ki kubi bi diegu han taadi ki da pa yibali usanu ban sugiba.
15 (In fact, some have already turned aside after Satan.)
Kelima baa moala akpepuotiama lebidi ki hua sutaani.
16 If any man or woman who is a believer has widows, let them relieve them and not burden the congregation, so that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.
Yapua bi ya joa n daani ya pia o danba ke bi tie kpepuona wan yaa todi ba ki da tuni Kilisiti n yini yaaba tugili, ke ban fidi ki todi ya kpepuona n kaa pia kubikaaba.
17 Let the elders who lead well be counted worthy of a double honorarium, especially those who labor in word and teaching.
Li pundi ke kilisiti n yini yaaba nikpeliba yaaba n gobidi bohanla n baa ti jigidi ki cie. Lan pundi yaaba n ki cie tie yaaba n kuani bi yama U Tienu maama wangima nni leni U Tienu maama banmgima nni.
18 For the Scripture says: “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain,” and “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
kelima li diana yi diani nni ki yedi: han da loli o nua ñoabu wan ŋmaadi ti di siandi ya yogunu. Li go diani ki yedi li pundi o tuonsoanlo n baa o panpaani.
19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.
Han da ga ma kuligaba kuli Kilisiti n yini yaaba nikpelo po, li yaa tie siedinba lie yaa ka siedinba taa ya ñoana nni.
20 Those who are sinning rebuke publicly, so that the rest also may be in fear.
ŋa fu leni yaaba n tieni ti tuonbiadi bi niba kuli nintuali, yaaba n sieni n jie.
21 I charge you in the presence of God and Sovereign Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudgment, doing nothing by partiality.
N teni a yaa ñoabonli n tiena U Tienu nintuali leni Jesu Kilisiti nintuali, leni bi maleki gagidikaaba nintuali, ke han ya hua laa maama kuli ki dagagidi niba leni yaba, han tieni bikuli po yenma.
22 Do not lay hands [in ordination] hastily on anyone, do not thereby participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Han da jaligi ki maani a nii nilo ba po ki da taani leni nitoa o tuonbiadi nni. Fini aba mo nkubi ayuil ki ya hani.
23 Stop drinking only water; use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent infirmities.
Han da go ñu mi ñima bebe, han ya ñu duven waamu waamu yaala n baa todi a a tugiyianu po leni yaa yiani n lindi ki co ha po.
24 The sins of some men are obvious, leading the way into judgment, while those of others trail behind.
Bi nitianba tuonbiadi doagidi bi kuli po baa ke bi daa biigiba. Ama nitianba ya tuonbiandi kan doagidi kali bi biigi ba.
25 So also the good works are obvious; even the ones that are not, cannot be hidden.
Li go tie yeni leni atuonhama, yaa n doagidi bohanla bi niba kuli po ye. yaa n duagi mo kan yaa wuo hali ya yogunu kuli po ka.
