1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
Usatuka mukuru, asi umutsiure sababa, vadiki sevanin'ina,
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
vakadzi vakuru sanamai; vakadzi vadiki sehanzvadzi, pakuchena kwese.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
Kudza chirikadzi dziri chirikadzi zvirokwazvo.
4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before YHWH.
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 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in YHWH, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
Zvino uyo ari chirikadzi zvirokwazvo yakasiiwawo yega anovimba naMwari, anogarawo pamikumbiro neminyengetero siku nesikati.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
Asi uyo anozvipira kuzvifadza, wakafa ari mupenyu.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
Uye raira zvinhu izvi, kuti varege kuva nechavangapomerwa.
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Asi kana munhu asingachengeti vekwake, zvikuruwo veimba yake, waramba rutendo, uye wakaipa kukunda asingatendi.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
Chirikadzi ngainyorwe pasi ine makore asiri pasi pemakumi matanhatu, yaiva mukadzi wemurume umwe,
10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
inopupurirwa mabasa akanaka, kana yakarera vana, kana yakagamuchira vaeni, kana yakashambidza tsoka dzevatsvene, kana yakabatsira vari mumatambudziko, kana yakateverera basa rese rakanaka.
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against the Messiah, they will marry;
Asi chirikadzi diki urambe, nokuti kana dzochiva zvinopesana naKristu, dzinoda kuwanikwa;
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
dzava nemhosva, nokuti dzarasa rutendo rwekutanga.
13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Neipapowo dzinodzidza usimbe dzichipotedza dzimba; uye hadzisi simbe chete, asi vezvisina maturo, vanopindira zvisi zvavo, vachitaura zvavasingafaniri.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Naizvozvo ndinoda kuti chirikadzi diki dziwanikwe, dzibereke vana, dzibate dzimba dzadzo, dzirege kutongopa muvengi mukana wekutuka.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Nokuti vamwe vatotsauka vachitevera Satani.
16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
Kana murume upi neupi kana mukadzi anotenda ane chirikadzi, ngaadzibatsire, nekereke irege kuremedzwa, kuti ibatsire chirikadzi chaidzo.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Vakuru vanobata zvakanaka ngavaverengerwe sevanofanirwa nekukudzwa kwakapetwa, zvikuru avo vanobata nesimba pashoko nepadzidziso.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti: Usasunga muromo wenzombe inopura; uye: Mushandi wakafanirwa nemubairo wake.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Usangogamuchira mhaka inopomerwa mutariri, kunze kana kuri mberi kwezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Vanotadza utsiure pamberi pevese, kuti vamwewo vave nekutya.
21 I charge thee before YHWH, and the Master Yahushua the Messiah, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
Ndinokurairisa kwazvo pamberi paMwari naIshe Jesu Kristu, nevatumwa vakasanangurwa, kuti uchengete zvinhu izvi usingagari watotonga, kana kuita chinhu uchitsaura vanhu.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
Usakurumidza kuisa maoko pamusoro pemunhu, kana kugovana pazvivi zvevamwe; uzvichengete iwe uri mutsvene.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
Usachiramba uchinwa mvura chete, asi ushandise waini shoma, nekuda kwemudumbu mako neundonda hwako hwekazhinji.
24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
Zvivi zvevamwe vanhu zviri pachena, zvinotungamirira kukutongwa; zvevamwewo zvichiteverawo.
25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Saizvozvowo mabasa akanaka ari pachena, neasina kudaro haagoni kuvanzwa.
