1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Usatuka mukuru, asi umutsiure sababa, vadiki sevanin'ina,
2 the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
vakadzi vakuru sanamai; vakadzi vadiki sehanzvadzi, pakuchena kwese.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Kudza chirikadzi dziri chirikadzi zvirokwazvo.
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.
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 who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
Zvino uyo ari chirikadzi zvirokwazvo yakasiiwawo yega anovimba naMwari, anogarawo pamikumbiro neminyengetero siku nesikati.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Asi uyo anozvipira kuzvifadza, wakafa ari mupenyu.
7 Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
Uye raira zvinhu izvi, kuti varege kuva nechavangapomerwa.
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.
Asi kana munhu asingachengeti vekwake, zvikuruwo veimba yake, waramba rutendo, uye wakaipa kukunda asingatendi.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Chirikadzi ngainyorwe pasi ine makore asiri pasi pemakumi matanhatu, yaiva mukadzi wemurume umwe,
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.
inopupurirwa mabasa akanaka, kana yakarera vana, kana yakagamuchira vaeni, kana yakashambidza tsoka dzevatsvene, kana yakabatsira vari mumatambudziko, kana yakateverera basa rese rakanaka.
11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Christ, they desire to marry;
Asi chirikadzi diki urambe, nokuti kana dzochiva zvinopesana naKristu, dzinoda kuwanikwa;
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
dzava nemhosva, nokuti dzarasa rutendo rwekutanga.
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.
Neipapowo dzinodzidza usimbe dzichipotedza dzimba; uye hadzisi simbe chete, asi vezvisina maturo, vanopindira zvisi zvavo, vachitaura zvavasingafaniri.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
Naizvozvo ndinoda kuti chirikadzi diki dziwanikwe, dzibereke vana, dzibate dzimba dzadzo, dzirege kutongopa muvengi mukana wekutuka.
15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
Nokuti vamwe vatotsauka vachitevera Satani.
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.
Kana murume upi neupi kana mukadzi anotenda ane chirikadzi, ngaadzibatsire, nekereke irege kuremedzwa, kuti ibatsire chirikadzi chaidzo.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Vakuru vanobata zvakanaka ngavaverengerwe sevanofanirwa nekukudzwa kwakapetwa, zvikuru avo vanobata nesimba pashoko nepadzidziso.
18 For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
Nokuti rugwaro rwunoti: Usasunga muromo wenzombe inopura; uye: Mushandi wakafanirwa nemubairo wake.
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Usangogamuchira mhaka inopomerwa mutariri, kunze kana kuri mberi kwezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Vanotadza utsiure pamberi pevese, kuti vamwewo vave nekutya.
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.
Ndinokurairisa kwazvo pamberi paMwari naIshe Jesu Kristu, nevatumwa vakasanangurwa, kuti uchengete zvinhu izvi usingagari watotonga, kana kuita chinhu uchitsaura vanhu.
22 Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Usakurumidza kuisa maoko pamusoro pemunhu, kana kugovana pazvivi zvevamwe; uzvichengete iwe uri mutsvene.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
Usachiramba uchinwa mvura chete, asi ushandise waini shoma, nekuda kwemudumbu mako neundonda hwako hwekazhinji.
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
Zvivi zvevamwe vanhu zviri pachena, zvinotungamirira kukutongwa; zvevamwewo zvichiteverawo.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
Saizvozvowo mabasa akanaka ari pachena, neasina kudaro haagoni kuvanzwa.
