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,
Ulekhe ukhupwa tila ubaba ugogo. Udwandage ndu dadayo upape amakha avafijana avademi vope valukolo lwakho.
2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with the highest standards of decency.
Uvape amakha ava vanyokho avagogolo nda va vanyokho vakho, na vadala avachebe manya ava vahanchavo nu vugolofu woni.
3 Help widows who don't have a family.
Uvagane avafyile vala avafyuelweli lweli.
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.
Pangave ufyule alina vana navakhukhu, valeghe taasi vamanyile ukhuvonesya elisima khuvanu va munyumba vavevene.
5 Now a real widow, having no family, alone and without support, puts her hope in God and prays for help night and day.
Pakhuva ufyile lwelweli viula uvaalimawene uyu ivikha amasage goni khwa Nguluve. Hange itama isikhunchoni munyesayo pakilo na pamusi.
6 But a widow who concentrates on pleasing herself is already dead, even though she's still physically alive.
Pakhuva udala uvi itama mombutula nongwa ufyile ndagave mwumii.
7 Give people these instructions so that they will be above criticism.
Numayisyage umbombo nchi vasite ukhuva nulukuto.
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.
Pakhuva umunu uvisakhuva tunja avalukololwe, vala avamunyumba vavene uyu alubelile ulwidikho, imbivi ndavasavi khwidekha.
9 Only widows over sixty who have been faithful to their husbands should be put on the list.
Uno avadala visimbi wage ndavafyile avanya vigono ifi safi pungukha emiakha sitini vwlala va gosi yumo.
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?
Panogilenchumanyi khe nanchi mbombo cha mwene inonu, ingave avatunchinche avana, hange avile nikhisa khuva genji apange akalifye amatunde ga videkhi, apange agelile ukhwihumya pambombo yoni enonu.
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.
Pu nita khuvala avafyele avadebe, ubelage ukhuvasimba mukala ya vafyile. Pakhuva vingingele mutamaa cha mbili vinogwaga ukhutoliwa.
12 In this they are guilty of breaking their previous commitment.
Khunjila iye vikhwingila munongwa nukhudenya indagilo n'cha lutanchi.
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.
Nukhhwingila mumbu chovele wa wolo avene vigenda munyomba neinyumba saviva volo. Pakhuva vikwingila musolo nimbombo inchingu vichovaga inongwa in'chi tawajinogiwa ukhuvuchova.
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.
Pu une ninogwa avadala avadebe vatoli wage, avagogolo avana vimelile unyumba n'cha vene vasile ukhupa enafasi usetano yakhutusitakha nukhuvumba imbivi.
15 However, some have already gone the way of Satan.
Pakhuva vingi hata lino vapendwighe kwa setano.
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.
Angave pwale udala umwidekhu alina va fyile avatange pakhuva elikanisa yaligatala ukhuvatanga avafyile lweli lweli.
17 Elders who direct the church well should be seen as doubly valuable, particularly those who work in speaking the Word and in teaching.
Lino avagogolo vala avilongoncha vunonu vavaliliwage ukhuva vinogwa elisima maraghangi, nasavala avivomba imbombo ya khumanyisya elimenyu lya Nguluve.
18 As Scripture says, “Don't muzzle the ox when it's threshing out the grain.” Also, “The worker deserves to be paid.”
Pakhuva elivangili lita “usite ukhuchendula undomo gwa senga vuyila elinyasi” nu “mbombo vulikava uluhombo lwa mwene.”
19 Don't entertain any accusation against an elder unless two or three witnesses support it.
Usite ukhupokhela inongwa n'cha gogolo pange vave avasaidi vavili vadatu.
20 Censure those who sin in front of everyone as a warning to others as well.
Vavunge avayagile pamoho ga vanu voni apange avasigile ya vipona.
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.
Nikhukhulagile pamiho ga Nguluve nu Yesu Kelisiti, na vasungwa avaha uwe ukhuta vabate indagilo nchi bila khubagula, nu site ukhuvomba ekhinu kyo kyoni nukhulola vupande.
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.
Usite ukhusaya umunu khimbive usite ukhuhanga nuvatulanongwa wa munu kyunge.
23 Don't just drink water, but use a little bit of wine because of your bad stomach—you're sick so often!
sapanogile ukhunywa amagosi gene unywi n'chage nuvubaga khunjola ya vutamu wa litumbu lyakho khila isikhi.
24 The sins of some people are really obvious, and they are clearly guilty, but the sins of others are not seen until later.
Inongwa n'cha vanu avange nchi vonekha pavu valafu, mn'chinge nchilongo la khuvu hegi ni n'chinge nchikonga khusana.
25 Similarly some good works are obvious, and even those that are hidden won't be for long.
Vivule vule imbombo n'chinge inonu n'chivonekha pavu valafu nin'chinge n'chifihekha.
