1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the yonger men as brethren,
Usatuka mukuru, asi umutsiure sababa, vadiki sevanin'ina,
2 The elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purenesse.
vakadzi vakuru sanamai; vakadzi vadiki sehanzvadzi, pakuchena kwese.
3 Honour widowes, which are widowes in deede.
Kudza chirikadzi dziri chirikadzi zvirokwazvo.
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.
Asi kana imwe chirikadzi ine vana kana vazukuru, ngavatange kudzidza kuratidza rukudzo kumba kwavo pachavo, vadzosere zvakafanira kuvabereki; nokuti ndizvo zvakanaka zvinogamuchirwa pamberi paMwari.
5 And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day.
Zvino uyo ari chirikadzi zvirokwazvo yakasiiwawo yega anovimba naMwari, anogarawo pamikumbiro neminyengetero siku nesikati.
6 But shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead, while shee liueth.
Asi uyo anozvipira kuzvifadza, wakafa ari mupenyu.
7 These things therefore warne them of, that they may be blamelesse.
Uye raira zvinhu izvi, kuti varege kuva nechavangapomerwa.
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.
Asi kana munhu asingachengeti vekwake, zvikuruwo veimba yake, waramba rutendo, uye wakaipa kukunda asingatendi.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene the wife of one husband,
Chirikadzi ngainyorwe pasi ine makore asiri pasi pemakumi matanhatu, yaiva mukadzi wemurume umwe,
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.
inopupurirwa mabasa akanaka, kana yakarera vana, kana yakagamuchira vaeni, kana yakashambidza tsoka dzevatsvene, kana yakabatsira vari mumatambudziko, kana yakateverera basa rese rakanaka.
11 But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie,
Asi chirikadzi diki urambe, nokuti kana dzochiva zvinopesana naKristu, dzinoda kuwanikwa;
12 Hauing damnation, because they haue broken the first faith.
dzava nemhosva, nokuti dzarasa rutendo rwekutanga.
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.
Neipapowo dzinodzidza usimbe dzichipotedza dzimba; uye hadzisi simbe chete, asi vezvisina maturo, vanopindira zvisi zvavo, vachitaura zvavasingafaniri.
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.
Naizvozvo ndinoda kuti chirikadzi diki dziwanikwe, dzibereke vana, dzibate dzimba dzadzo, dzirege kutongopa muvengi mukana wekutuka.
15 For certaine are alreadie turned backe after Satan.
Nokuti vamwe vatotsauka vachitevera Satani.
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.
Kana murume upi neupi kana mukadzi anotenda ane chirikadzi, ngaadzibatsire, nekereke irege kuremedzwa, kuti ibatsire chirikadzi chaidzo.
17 The Elders that rule well, let them be had in double honour, specially they which labour in the worde and doctrine,
Vakuru vanobata zvakanaka ngavaverengerwe sevanofanirwa nekukudzwa kwakapetwa, zvikuru avo vanobata nesimba pashoko nepadzidziso.
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.
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti: Usasunga muromo wenzombe inopura; uye: Mushandi wakafanirwa nemubairo wake.
19 Against an Elder receiue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses.
Usangogamuchira mhaka inopomerwa mutariri, kunze kana kuri mberi kwezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu.
20 Them that sinne, rebuke openly, that the rest also may feare.
Vanotadza utsiure pamberi pevese, kuti vamwewo vave nekutya.
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.
Ndinokurairisa kwazvo pamberi paMwari naIshe Jesu Kristu, nevatumwa vakasanangurwa, kuti uchengete zvinhu izvi usingagari watotonga, kana kuita chinhu uchitsaura vanhu.
22 Lay handes suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy selfe pure.
Usakurumidza kuisa maoko pamusoro pemunhu, kana kugovana pazvivi zvevamwe; uzvichengete iwe uri mutsvene.
23 Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities.
Usachiramba uchinwa mvura chete, asi ushandise waini shoma, nekuda kwemudumbu mako neundonda hwako hwekazhinji.
24 Some mens sinnes are open before hand, and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens folowe after.
Zvivi zvevamwe vanhu zviri pachena, zvinotungamirira kukutongwa; zvevamwewo zvichiteverawo.
25 Likewise also the good woorkes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
Saizvozvowo mabasa akanaka ari pachena, neasina kudaro haagoni kuvanzwa.
