1 Timothy 5
1 You may not rebuke an elder, but exhort [him] as a father, younger persons as brothers,
Aza mamely mafy loatra ny anti-panahy, fa anaro toy ny ray izy, ny tanora fanahy toy ny rahalahy,
2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters—in all purity;
ny vehivavy anti-panahy toy ny reny, ny tanora fanahy toy ny anabavy, amin’ ny fahadiovana rehetra.
3 honor widows who are really widows;
Omeo voninahitra ny mpitondratena izay efa mpitondratena tokoa.
4 and if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own house, and to give back a repayment to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
Fa raha misy mpitondratena manana zanaka na zafy, aoka ireo hianatra aloha haneho izay toe-panahy araka an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny ao an-tranony ka hamaly soa ny rainy aman-dreniny; fa izany no ankasitrahana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
5 And she who is really a widow and desolate, has hoped on God, and remains in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,
Fa izay efa mpitondratena tokoa ka irery tena dia efa manantena an’ Andriamanitra ka maharitra amin’ ny fangatahana sy ny fivavahana andro aman’ alina
6 but she given to luxury [while] living has died;
Fa izay vehivavy manaram-po amin’ ny fahafinaretana dia maty fahavelony.
7 and charge these things, that they may be blameless;
Ary izany zavatra izany no andidio, mba tsy hananany tsiny.
8 and if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of the household, he has denied the faith, and he is worse than an unbeliever.
Fa raha misy tsy mamelona ny azy, indrindra fa ny ankohonany, dia efa nandà ny finoana izy ka ratsy noho ny tsy mino aza.
9 A widow—do not let her be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,
Aza soratana ho isan’ ny mpitondratena izay latsaka noho ny enim-polo taona sady efa nanam-bady indray mandeha ihany
10 being testified to in good works: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if she washed holy ones’ feet, if she relieved those in tribulation, if she followed after every good work;
ary tsara laza amin’ ny asa tsara; raha namelon-jaza izy, raha nampiantrano vahiny, raha nanasa ny tongotry ny olona masìna, raha namonjy ny nozoim-pahoriana, raha nazoto nanaraka ny asa tsara rehetra.
11 and be refusing younger widows, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
Fa mandava ny mpitondra-tena tanora; fa raha tsy maharitra ny fifehezan’ i Kristy izy, dia ta-hanam-bady
12 having judgment, because they cast away the first faith,
ka hahazo fanamelohana, satria nandà ny finoany voalohany izy.
13 and also at the same time, they learn [to be] idle, going around the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking things they should not;
Sady mianatra ho malaina koa izy ka mandehandeha mitety trano; ary tsy malaina ihany, fa mpilazalaza sy mpandehandeha miraharaha ny an’ olona ka manao teny tsy mety.
14 I intend, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer of reviling;
Koa tiako ny mpitondratena tanora fanahy hanam-bady sy hanana zanaka sy hanapaka ny tranony ka tsy hanome vava ny fahavalo hiteny ratsy.
15 for some already turned aside after Satan.
Fa ny sasany efa nivily sahady nanaraka an’ i Satana.
16 If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the assembly be burdened, that it may relieve those [who are] really widows.
Raha misy vehivavy mino manana mpitondratena, aoka izy hamelona azy, ary aza avela hahavaky tratra ny fiangonana, mba hamelomany izay efa mpitondratena tokoa.
17 Let them, the well-leading elders, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in word and teaching,
Aoka ny loholona izay mitondra tsara hatao tokony hahazo fanajana roa heny indrindra fa izay nikely aina amin’ ny teny sy ny fampianarana.
18 for the Writing says, “You will not muzzle an ox treading out,” and, “Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.”
Fa hoy ny Soratra Masìna: “Aza manakombona ny vavan’ ny omby mively vary ianao” Ary koa: “Ny mpiasa miendrika hahazo ny karamany”.
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on two or three witnesses.
Aza mandray teny hiampangana loholona, raha tsy misy vavolombelona roa na telo.
20 Reprove those sinning before all, that the others may also have fear;
Izay manota dia anaro eo anatrehan’ ny olona rehetra, mba hatahotra koa ny sasany.
21 I fully testify, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen messengers, that you may keep these things, without prejudging, doing nothing by partiality.
Mananatra anao mafy aho eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra sy Kristy Jesosy ary ny anjely voafidy mba hotandremanao izany zavatra izany, tsy manao olon-tiana, na manao na inona na inona amin’ ny fiangarana.
22 Be quickly laying hands on no one, nor be having fellowship with [the] sins of others; be keeping yourself pure;
Aza malaky mametra-tanana amin’ olona na iza na iza, ary aza miombona ota amin’ ny sasany; tehirizo madio ny tenanao.
23 no longer be drinking water, but be using a little wine, because of your stomach and of your frequent sicknesses;
Aza misotro rano intsony fa misotroa divay kely noho ny vava-fonao sy ny fahosaosanao matetika.
24 the sins of certain men are evident beforehand, leading before to judgment, but some also they follow after;
Ny fahotan’ ny olona sasany miharihary ka mialoha ho amin’ ny fitsarana, fa ny an’ ny sasany kosa manaraka ato aoriana.
25 in like manner the right works are also evident beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
Ary miharihary toy izany koa ny asa tsara; ary izay tsy toy izany dia tsy ho azo afenina.
