1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the yonger men as brethren,
Patong te tluung boeh. Tedae pa pakhat bangla, tanoe thai manuca bangla hloephoelh lah.
2 The elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purenesse.
Hamca te manu bangla, tanoe rhoek te ngannu rhoek bangla cilpoenah cungkuem neh hloep.
3 Honour widowes, which are widowes in deede.
Nuhmai rhoek khaw nuhmai taktak te tah hinyah lah.
4 But if any widowe haue children or nephewes, let them learne first to shewe godlinesse towarde their owne house, and to recompense their kinred: for that is an honest thing and acceptable before God.
Tedae nuhmai khat khat loh a ca rhoek mai khaw a cadil rhoek mai khaw a khueh atah amah imkhui ah thothueng ham neh buhungnah te a manu napa taengah thuung ham lamhma la cang sak. He tah Pathen hmuhah mikcop la om.
5 And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day.
Tedae nuhmai taktak tih aka omdam loh Pathen soah lat a ngaiuep tih rhenbihnah neh thangthuinah dongah khoyin khothaih om.
6 But shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead, while shee liueth.
Tedae omthen aka bawn tah a hing pueng thuem ah duek coeng.
7 These things therefore warne them of, that they may be blamelesse.
Te rhoek khaw na uen daengah ni hmabuet la a om uh eh.
8 If there bee any that prouideth not for his owne, and namely for them of his housholde, hee denieth the faith, and is worse then an infidell.
Tedae khat khat loh amah huiko neh olpuei la imkhuikho te kho a khan pawt atah tangnah te a hno tih aka tangnahmueh lakah a thae la om.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene the wife of one husband,
Nuhmai la hlum ham tah kum sawmrhuk hmuiah om mahpawh. Va pakhat bueng aka khueh huta,
10 And well reported of for good woorkes: if shee haue nourished her children, if shee haue lodged the strangers, if shee haue washed the Saintes feete, if shee haue ministred vnto them which were in aduersitie, if shee were continually giuen vnto euery good woorke.
Ca a khut atah, yinlai a sawtlet atah, hlangcim rhoek kah kho a silh atah, aka patang rhoek te a sawtlet atah, khoboe then cungkuem neh a rhoih atah khoboe then la phong pai saeh.
11 But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie,
Tedae a haw vaengah tah Khrih hmanah vasak a ngaih dongah nuhmai tanoe rhoek te rhoe dae.
12 Hauing damnation, because they haue broken the first faith.
Lamhma kah tangnah te a phae uh dongah laitloeknah a yook uh.
13 And likewise also being idle they learne to goe about from house to house: yea, they are not onely ydle, but also pratlers and busibodies, speaking things which are not comely.
Te vaengah palyal khaw pahoi a cang uh, im te a hil uh. Te bueng pawt tih palyal neh hlangthet vueihnam, tomban rhuikha neh a kuek pawt te a thui uh.
14 I will therefore that the yonger women marie, and beare children, and gouerne the house, and giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake euill.
Te dongah tanoe rhoek tah vasak sak ham, cacun sak ham, cangbam sak ka ngaih. Thuithetnah dongah thimkalh te rhoirhinah paek ham moenih.
15 For certaine are alreadie turned backe after Satan.
Hlangvang loh Satan hnukah oepsoeh la hoi uh.
16 If any faithfull man, or faithfull woman haue widowes, let them minister vnto them, and let not the Church bee charged, that there may bee sufficient for them that are widowes in deede.
Uepom pakhat loh nuhmai rhoek a khueh atah amih te sawtlet saeh lamtah hlangboel te bakbahap boel saeh. Te daengah ni nuhmai tang rhoek te a sawtlet thai eh.
17 The Elders that rule well, let them be had in double honour, specially they which labour in the worde and doctrine,
A then la aka mawt patong neh olpuei la olka neh thuituennah dongah aka thakthae rhoek tah rhaepnit la hinyahnah ham tueng pai.
18 For the Scripture sayeth, Thou shalt not mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthie of his wages.
Cacim loh a ti coeng ta. Cangtil vaito pin boeh, “Bibikung tah a thapang nen khaw tiing pai.”
19 Against an Elder receiue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses.
Laipai panit pathum pawt atah a ham kah lai te doe boeh.
20 Them that sinne, rebuke openly, that the rest also may feare.
Aka tholh rhoek te hlang boeih hmaiah na toeltham daengah ni a tloe long khaw rhihnah a khueh eh.
21 I charge thee before God and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these thinges without preferring one to an other, and doe nothing partially.
Pathen, Khrih Jesuh neh puencawn a coelh rhoek kah a hmaiah ka laipai. He rhoek he hlaangnah kolla tuem mai, maelhmai sawt nen khaw saii boeh.
22 Lay handes suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy selfe pure.
Kut he tokrhat la tloeng thil boeh. Hlanglang rhoek kah tholhnah te boek pah boeh. Namah te a cuem la tuem uh.
23 Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities.
Tui bueng te o boeh. Tedae na bung dongah puet na tloh te khaw misurtui bet saem pah.
24 Some mens sinnes are open before hand, and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens folowe after.
Hlang a ngen kah tholhnah tah laitloeknah la a pha hlanah lohaa coeng. Tedae a ngen kah tah a hnong pah.
25 Likewise also the good woorkes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
Khoboe then khaw lohaa van. Te dongah thuh hamla tloekloek aka om rhoek loh noeng uh pawh.
