1 Timothy 5
1 Don't rebuke a man who is older than you. Instead, encourage him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,
Wasiga okulundumila omukaruka. Tali umusimbagilishe omwoyo kuti ni esomwana. Nusimbagilishe omwoyo abhasigaji kuti ni bhamula bhanyu.
2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with the highest standards of decency.
Usimbagilishe omwoyo abhagasi abhakokolo kuti nibha nyokomwana, na abhagasi bhanu bhachali kwikula bhabhe kuti bhayala bhanyu kwisima lyona.
3 Help widows who don't have a family.
Nuyane echibhalo abhagasi abhafwilwa, bhanu bhafwiliwe chimali mali.
4 For the Christian responsibility of a widow's children or grandchildren is to do their duty for their own family, and repay their parents by helping them out. This is what pleases God.
Nawe omugasi omufwilwa akasanga ali na abhana na abhechukulu, bhasige okwamba bhakole jinu jiile okusakila emisi jebhwe. Bhakakola kutyo abhaliya abhebhusi bhebhwe na bhajaji bhwebhwe, nejo kutyo nijo ejikondelesha Nyamuanga.
5 Now a real widow, having no family, alone and without support, puts her hope in God and prays for help night and day.
Omugasi omusigwa ni unu asigilwe kuluyando wenyele. Omugasi nkoyo ubhwisige bhwaye bhuli ku Nyamuanga. Omwene nsiku jona atulile kwisabhwa no okulembeleja mungeta na mumwisi.
6 But a widow who concentrates on pleasing herself is already dead, even though she's still physically alive.
Nolwo jili kutyo, omugasi unu ekaye kwo okunyenyega afuye, nolwo kutyo kalibhata ali muwanga.
7 Give people these instructions so that they will be above criticism.
Mbe ulashe amagambo ganu koleleki abhanu bhasiga okwikujula.
8 But those who don't look after their relatives, especially their own family, have denied their beliefs, and are worse than those who don't believe.
Tali omunu akabhula okusakila abhaili bhaye, muno muno abhaika owaye, omunu oyo alemele elikilisha na ni mubhibhi okukila unu atekilisishe.
9 Only widows over sixty who have been faithful to their husbands should be put on the list.
Mbe omugasi unu afwiliwe omulume, andikwe muchitabho cha abhasigwa akakingya myaka makumi mukaga, na aliga atwalibhwe na mulume umwi.
10 The widow should have a reputation for doing good. Did she bring up children properly? Has she been hospitable? Has she washed the feet of church members? Has she helped those who were in trouble? Has she really tried to do good in every way?
Na nibhusi bhusi abhe amenyekene ati ebhikolwa bhaye nibhyakisi, achumaga abhana, amo aliga nakumilila abhagenyi, amo aliga nosha amagulu ga abhekilisha, amo asakilaga bhanu bhaliga bhali munyako, hamo aliga nesosha kumulimu gwona gwona ogwekisi.
11 Don't take on widows who are younger, because when their physical desires make them want to re-marry they abandon their dedication to Christ.
Nawe abhagasi abhafwila bhanu bhachalimo obhuyalakaji, utabhandika mulwandiko lwa abhagasi abhafwila. Kulwokubha bhakanambaalila ejo omubhili okutasikana na Kristo, nibhenda okutwalwa.
12 In this they are guilty of breaking their previous commitment.
Kunjila eyo abhengila muntambala, okubha abhatambuka okwisosha kwebhwe okwa kubhwambilo.
13 They also get used to a lazy life, just visiting each other in their homes. Not only lazy, but they gossip and meddle, talking about things they shouldn't.
Na abhengila muntungwa yo obhulenga. Nibheinda inda bhuli nyumba. Itali ati ni bhalenga ala, tali abhabha bhalomi bha abhanu no kwiingisha mumisango ja abhandi.
14 So my best advice is that younger widows marry and have children and take care of the home. That way there's no opportunity for criticism from the Enemy.
Kulwejo anye enenda abhagasi bhanu bhachali bhatwalwe, bhebhule abhana, bhombake emisi jebhwe, koleleki chitayana omusoko omwanya ogwo okuchitonganya chikakola ebhibhi.
15 However, some have already gone the way of Satan.
Kulwokubha abhandi bhaindukiye ku Syetani.
16 Any Christian woman who has widows in the family should help them, so that the church is not burdened with the responsibility, and can help those widows who are truly in need.
Labha omugasi wona wona omwikilisha ekaye na abhagasi abhafwilwa, mbe nabhasakile, koleleki likanisa lyasiga okukubhwa, koleleki litule okusakila abhasigwa chimwi chimwi.
17 Elders who direct the church well should be seen as doubly valuable, particularly those who work in speaking the Word and in teaching.
Mbe abhakaluka bhanu abhatangasha kisi mubhayane echibhalo kwiya kabhili, muno muno bhanu abhakola emilimu jo okwiyigisha Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
18 As Scripture says, “Don't muzzle the ox when it's threshing out the grain.” Also, “The worker deserves to be paid.”
Kulwokubha Amandiko agaika ati, “Wasiga okubhoya ing'a omunwa ukasanga niyo nitaja taja obhulo akatungu ka liula,” no omukosi we emilimu jiile okuyanwa omuyelo gwaye.”
19 Don't entertain any accusation against an elder unless two or three witnesses support it.
Wasiga okulamila intongana yo omukaluka ukasanga bhatabhao bhamasaidi bhabhili hamo bhafu.
20 Censure those who sin in front of everyone as a warning to others as well.
Nugonye bhanu abhakola ebhibhibhi imbele ya abhejabho koleleki bhanu bhachali okukola kutyo amo bhobhaye.
21 Before God and Christ Jesus, and the holy angels, I instruct you to follow these instructions without bias. Don't do anything from an attitude of favoritism.
Enikulagilila chimwi imbele ya Nyamuanga, na imbele ya Yesu Kristo, na bhamalaika abhasolwa, ugabhike amalagililo ganu obhutabha na solole yona yona, na utakola musango gwona gwona kwo okusolola.
22 Don't be in a hurry to lay hands on anyone; and don't get involved in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Utatelakoga omunu wonawona amabhoko bhwangu bhwangu. Wasiga okwiswasha muchibhibhi cho omunu undi. Jikwiile witunje omwene ubhe wekisi.
23 Don't just drink water, but use a little bit of wine because of your bad stomach—you're sick so often!
Utanywaga amanji genyele. Ukasiga amanji, unywega nomulamba mutoto kulwa injuno ya inda na amalwaye gawo aga bhuli mwanya.
24 The sins of some people are really obvious, and they are clearly guilty, but the sins of others are not seen until later.
Ebhibhi bhya abhanu abhandi jili abhwelu na jimenyekene, jelabhileyo mundamu. Nawe ebhibhi ebhindi ebbhisoka inyuma.
25 Similarly some good works are obvious, and even those that are hidden won't be for long.
Nikwo kutyo ona, emilimu ejindi ejekisi ejimenyekana bhwangu, nawe nolwo ejindi jitakwiseleka.
