1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers:
Pa bay repwòch ki di a yon granmoun, men, de preferans, rezone ak li tankou yon papa, a jèn mesye yo tankou frè yo,
2 the elderly women as mothers; the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
a fanm avanse nan laj yo tankou manman, e jèn fanm yo tankou sè. Ak tout, san tach.
3 Honor widows who are truly widows.
Onore vèv ki vrèman vèv yo;
4 But if any widow has children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own house, and to give benefactions to their ancestors: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
men si yon vèv gen pitit, oswa pitit pitit, yo dwe, dabò, aprann pratike respè anvè pwòp fanmi pa yo, e repaye pwòp paran pa yo, paske sa akseptab devan zye Bondye.
5 She who is truly a widow, and left alone, hopes in God, and abides in prayers and supplication night and day;
Alò, sila ki vrèman yon vèv, e ki kite sèl la, fikse tout espwa l sou Bondye e kontinye nan siplikasyon ak lapriyè lajounen kon lannwit.
6 but she who is wanton is dead though living.
Men sila ki viv nan plezi a, mouri menm pandan ke li ap viv la.
7 Indeed command these things, in order that they may be blameless.
Preskri bagay sa yo tou pou yo kapab vin san repwòch.
8 But if any one provides not for his own, and especially those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Men si yon moun pa bay soutyen a sila ki pou li yo, e sitou a sila ki lakay li yo, li gen tan kite lafwa e vin pi mal ke yon enkwayan.
9 Let a widow not be taken into account under three score years, the wife of one husband,
Yon vèv dwe mete nan lis la sèlman si li pa gen mwens ke swasant ane, e te madanm a yon sèl moun,
10 being witness in beautiful works; if she has brought up children, if she has entertained strangers, if she has washed the feet of saints, if she has succored those in tribulation, if she has followed in every good work.
avèk repitasyon bon zèv, si li te elve timoun, si li te konn resevwa etranje byen, si li te lave pye a sen yo, si li te konn ede sila ki nan gwo pwoblèm yo, e si li te devwe tèt li a tout bon zèv.
11 But reject the younger widows: for when they may wax wanton against Christ, they wish to marry;
Men refize mete jèn vèv nan lis la, paske lè yo vin gen dezi sansyèl kont Kris la, y ap vle marye.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first faith:
Konsa y ap vin merite kondanasyon paske yo mete sou kote ve ke yo te fè deja a.
13 and at the same time they learn to be idle, going about houses; and not only idle, but also loquacious even busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
An menm tan an, yo va aprann vin parese, pandan yo prale de kay an kay. E pa senpleman parese, men osi nan fè tripotay ak antre bouch nan zafè a moun, nan pale bagay ki pa bon pou pale.
14 Therefore I wish the younger women to marry, to raise up children, to rule the house, to give no occasion to the adversary for the sake of reproach;
Konsa, mwen vle jèn vèv yo marye, fè pitit, okipe kay, pou pa bay lènmi an plas pou repwòch.
15 for already certain ones have turned away after Satan.
Paske kèk nan yo deja detounen pou swiv Satan.
16 If any faithful woman has widows, let her support them, and let not the church be burdened; in order that she may give her attention to those who are truly widows.
Si yon fanm ki se yon kwayan gen vèv ki depann de li, li dwe asiste yo e legliz la pa dwe pote chaj sa a, pou li kapab asiste sila ki vrèman vèv yo.
17 Let the elders who stand before the people beautifully, be considered worthy of double remuneration, especially those laboring in the word and teaching.
Ansyen ki dirije byen yo, dwe konsidere dign de doub onè, sitou sila ki travay di nan predikasyon ak enstriksyon yo.
18 For the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The laborer is worthy of his hire.
Paske Lekriti a di: “Nou pa dwe mete mizo nan bouch a bèf la pandan l ap moulen sereyal la,” epi: “Ouvriye a dign de salè li.”
19 Bring not an accusation against an elder, except before two or three witnesses.
Pa resevwa yon akizasyon kont yon ansyen eksepte sou baz a de oswa twa temwen.
20 Convict those who sin before all, in order that the rest may also have fear.
Sila ki kontinye nan peche yo repwoche yo nan prezans a tout moun, pou lòt yo tou kapab pè fè peche.
21 I testify before God, and Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that you must guard these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Mwen solanèlman chaje ou nan prezans a Bondye, a Kris Jésus e a zanj chwazi Li yo, pou kenbe prensip sa yo san favorize pèsòn, e pa fè anyen nan yon lespri patipri.
22 Lay hands quickly on no one, and be not partaker of other men's sins.
Pa poze men sou okenn moun twò vit, e konsa vin pataje nan peche a lòt yo. Kenbe tèt ou lib de peche.
23 Keep yourself pure. No longer drink water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and on account of your frequent sickness.
Pa bwè dlo sèl ankò, men pran yon ti diven pou koz a vant ou ak maladi yo k ap boulvèse ou.
24 The sins of some men are manifest beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they also follow after:
Peche kèk moun vin toutafè klè, li ale devan yo pou jijman. Pou lòt yo, peche pa yo vini aprè yo.
25 likewise truly are good works manifested beforehand; and those which are otherwise are not able to be hidden.
Menm jan an tou, zèv ki bon yo toutafè klè, e sila ki pa konsa yo, p ap kapab kache.
