1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;
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 elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
a fanm avanse nan laj yo tankou manman, e jèn fanm yo tankou sè. Ak tout, san tach.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
Onore vèv ki vrèman vèv yo;
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 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 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers 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 that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
Men sila ki viv nan plezi a, mouri menm pandan ke li ap viv la.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
Preskri bagay sa yo tou pou yo kapab vin san repwòch.
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.
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 not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
Yon vèv dwe mete nan lis la sèlman si li pa gen mwens ke swasant ane, e te madanm a yon sèl moun,
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.
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 the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will 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 damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
Konsa y ap vin merite kondanasyon paske yo mete sou kote ve ke yo te fè deja a.
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.
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 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Konsa, mwen vle jèn vèv yo marye, fè pitit, okipe kay, pou pa bay lènmi an plas pou repwòch.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Paske kèk nan yo deja detounen pou swiv Satan.
16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
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 that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
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 saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
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 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Pa resevwa yon akizasyon kont yon ansyen eksepte sou baz a de oswa twa temwen.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Sila ki kontinye nan peche yo repwoche yo nan prezans a tout moun, pou lòt yo tou kapab pè fè peche.
21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, 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 suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
Pa poze men sou okenn moun twò vit, e konsa vin pataje nan peche a lòt yo. Kenbe tèt ou lib de peche.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
Pa bwè dlo sèl ankò, men pran yon ti diven pou koz a vant ou ak maladi yo k ap boulvèse ou.
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they 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 also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise can not be hid.
Menm jan an tou, zèv ki bon yo toutafè klè, e sila ki pa konsa yo, p ap kapab kache.
