1 Timothy 5
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;
Kanji ukalimeri mukwame mukulwana. Kono, umuhinde naye uvu avali nji veso. Uhinde milombwana uvu vache banko ve chikwame.
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
U hinde vakulwakazi uvu vashemi ve chanakazi, mi vakazana uvu bachizyako muku jolola konse.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
Mukuteke va shaminine, vashamine luli.
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.
Kono haiva va shamine vena vana kapa vehwa, muva siye pili va tondeze ikute mu mazuvo avo. Muva siye va vozekeze vashemi vavo, kakuli ichi chi tavisa kwe Ireeza.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
Kono yo shamine ze niti mi ushele yenke. U vika insempo yakwe kwa Ireeza. Inako yonse ushala ni nkupo ni ntapelo masiku ni kamwi konse.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
Nihakuva vulyo, mukulwakazi uhala che minyaka ufwire, nanga ha sihala.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
Mi ukutaze izi zintu ili kuti kanji vavi niku nyazwa.
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.
Kono haiva zumwi ka lukisezi va kwakwe, sihulu vana vo mwi nzuvo yakwe, wa sampula intumelo mi uswana fela sina ya seli mulumeli mane ni kuhita.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
Muzuminine mukulwakazi ku ñoliswa kuva hava ni zirimo zi sena mwikonde yezirimo ziska he kumi lyeminwe ye yaza lyonke ni chonke, yo sestwe kumukwame yenke.
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.
Uswanera kwiziveka che mitendo milotu, nangati kuti yo kuvavalera vahwire, kamba avali ku amuhera bazwahule, kamba ava kushanja matende ava vazumini, kamba ava tusi ni kuhoza vanyandiswe, kamba avali kulitulite ku misevezi yonse milotu.
11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
Kona kuva fwamini vasiri bahwire, uva kanine kuva ñola ha mukoloko. Kakuli chiva tambika miviri yavo kwi takazo kulwisa Keresite, va sisaka kusesa.
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
Cheyi inzira baliwana va ni mulandu kakuli chiva chola itayero ya matangiro.
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.
Hape valiwana chive na kumilapero ya maswaniso. Vatanga kuya vuzimboka zimboka muma zuvo ni mazuvo. Insiñi fera kusanduka vasekali, kono vasanduka va soha ni valeta i fapano. Vatanga kuwamba zintu ziva swaneri kuwamba.
14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Iri linu nisaka vakulwakazana kusesa, kuzala vana, ku vavalera mazuvo, iri kuli kanji vahi muvilala chivaka cho kutu nyasa mukupanga vuvi.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Kakuli bamwi chivava sanduki kuya kwa Satani.
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.
Haiva kuvamwi vanakazi vazumine kwina wina vava shaminini, mumusiye ava tuse, iri kuli ikereke kanji i lemezwa ahulu, iri kuli ikereke i tuse vana vasena vava tusa.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Uzuminine va kulwana va vusa hande kuti vahewe ikute kovere, sihulu hulu avo vasebeza mu linzwi ni mukuli ruta.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
Kakuti iñolo liti, “kanji uviki muhala kukaholo ke mpulu chiyi kwete kusinza vuheke,” mi “Yoseveza uswanera itifo yakwe.”
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Kanji utambuli muzeko u yama muntu mukulwana kwanda yokuti kwina impanki zo vere kamba zo tatwe.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
U kalimere vapanga chivi havusu bwa vonse iri kuli vamwi valitute kiuvali.
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.
Ime ni kulayera havusu bwa Ireeza ni havusu bwa Keresite Jesu mane vulyo nihavusu bwa mañiroyi aketetwe,
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
kuti u kwate inzi tayero nikusena kulikumusa mi kanji upangi chihi ne chihi cheva ni chiyaluluti. Kanji uli yaviri muchivi cho zumwi miuntu. Uvone kuti uli chenisa.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
Kanji uzwiri havusu kunwa menzi vulyo. linu, u swanera kunwa ni waine inini kupangira ivumo lyako ni kulwalanga kwako.
24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
Zivi zabamwi vantu ziziveka niku boneka hanze, mi vayenda muzili kuya mwikantulo. Kono zimwi zivi zichilira inako zana.
25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise can not be hid.
Chokuswana, Imwi misevezi milotu iyalukite ivoneka hekanza, mi yimwi kaioloi ku ungulwa.
