1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Kik idhaw gi ngʼama duongʼ gi dwol makwiny, to wuo kode mamuol giluor mana ka wuonu monywoli. Kaw yawuowi matindo ka oweteni,
2 the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
to mon madongo kaw ka mineni, kendo mon matindo kaw ka nyimineni, e yo maler chutho.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Nyaka ipar mon ma chwogi otho modongʼ kendgi madwaro kony e yor adiera.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
To ka dhako ma chwore otho moro nigi nyithindo kata nyikwayo to ber mondo gitingʼ nying Nyasaye malo kuom rito joodgi ka gikonyo jonywolgi gi kweregi kod deyegi, nikech timo kamano longʼo ni Nyasaye.
5 Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
Dhako ma chwore otho keto genone duto kuom Nyasaye, kendo osiko olamo odiechiengʼ gotieno kokwayo Nyasaye mondo okonye.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
To dhako ma chwore otho mohero mor mar piny, osetho kata obedo ni pod ongima.
7 Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
Puonj ji wechegi bende, mondo kik ngʼato obed gi bura.
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
Ka ngʼato ok orito wedene, to moloyo ka ok orito joode owuon, to osekwedo yie marwa, kendo orach moloyo japiny.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Dhako moro amora ma chwore otho ok nyal ndik nyinge kama indike nying mon ma chwogi otho ka hikgi ok oloyo higni piero auchiel, to bende nyaka bed ni ne osebedo ja-adiera e dakne gi chwore,
10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
kendo ongʼeye kuom timbene mabeyo kaka oserito nyithindo e yo mowinjore kendo osebedo kohero rwako welo e ode, kendo osebedo ka olwoko tiend jomaler kendo ka okonyo joma ni e chandruok, kochiwore chuth ni timo gik mabeyo duto.
11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Christ, they desire to marry;
Kik iyie mondo mon ma chwogi otho ma pod tindo ndik nying-gi kama indikoe nying mon ma chwogi otho. Nikech ka ringregi ohewogi gi gombo to giweyo Kristo ka gimanyo chwo mondo okendgi.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
Kuom mano gikelo kum kuomgi giwegi, nikech giseketho singruokgi mokwongo.
13 Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
To bende ewi mano, gibedo jo-samuoyo ma budho abudha, ka gibayo abaya e ute ji koni gi koni. Ok gibed mana jo-samuoyo ma budho abudha kende, to bende gibedo jokuoth ka gichuogore e weche ji mamoko kendo ka giwuoyo e weche ma ok onego giwuoye.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
Kuom mano daher mondo mon ma chwogi otho matindo okendi, mondo ginywol nyithindo, kendo girit utegi mondo kik gimi jasigu thuolo mar ketho nying joma oyie.
15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
Chutho, moko odok chien mi koro giluwo Satan.
16 If any believing woman has widows, she must assist them, and do not let the church be burdened; that it might help those widows who are truly in need.
To ka ngʼama oyie moro odak gi mon ma chwogi otho e dalane, onego okonygi en owuon mondo kik kanisa bed gi tingʼ mapek mar ritogi, eka kanisa okony mon ma chwogi otho mamoko man kendgi chuth maonge ngʼama nyalo konyogi.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Jodong kanisa morito weche mag kanisa onego yud pok margi nyadiriyo, to moloyo jodongo ma tichgi en yalo kod puonjo wach Nyasaye.
18 For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
Nimar Ndiko owacho niya, “Kik utwe dho dhiangʼ kaywayo lodi ma idinogo cham,” kendo niya, “Jatich ber gi chudo kuom tije motiyo.”
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Kik iyie gi ketho modonjnego jaduongʼ kanisa kaonge joneno ariyo kata adek.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Joma osiko timo richo nyaka kwer ratiro e nyim ji eka joma moko obed maluor.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Achiki e nyim Nyasaye kendo e nyim Kristo Yesu, kaachiel gi malaika moyier, ni mondo ilu puonjgi adimba ma ok idewo wangʼ ngʼato kendo ma ok idok kor ngʼato angʼata.
22 Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Kik irikni yieyo lwedo kuom ji, kendo kik iriwri e richo ji mamoko. Ritri mondo ngimani osik kaler.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
Ok onego imodh pi kende, to madh divai matin mondo okonyni iyi nikech midekre ma in-go pile.
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
Jomoko richogi ongʼongʼore kendo otelo nyimgi ka terogi e bura to richo jomoko to opondo kendo luwo bangʼ-gi.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
Mano bende e kaka tim ngʼato makare bende ongʼongʼore, kendo kata mana mago motimo mopondo fwenyore bangʼe.
