1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Man ko taj kachꞌabꞌej ri e nimaq taq winaq, xane chaya unoꞌj, jer kabꞌan atat che.
2 the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
Jer chaꞌwila anan ri e nimaq taq chuchuibꞌ, ri akꞌal taq alitomabꞌ jer chaꞌwila awanabꞌ, nim chaꞌwilaꞌ rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌojil.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Utz chabꞌana che kilik ri e malkaꞌn taq ixoqibꞌ ri qas e tzaqtal kanoq.
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.
We kꞌu kꞌo jun malkaꞌn ri e kꞌo ral o e kꞌo riꞌ taq umam, nabꞌe ketaꞌmaj ri rajawaxik kakibꞌan kukꞌ taq ri e winaq ri e kꞌo pa kachoch, ri e kitat kinan, xuqujeꞌ ri e kimam, rumal are waꞌ kaqaj cho ri Dios.
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.
Ri malkaꞌn ixoq ri tzaqtal kanoq, kakubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ are karilij ubꞌanik chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kuta tobꞌanik che ri Dios.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Are kꞌu ri malkaꞌn ixoq ri xaq are karilij ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx, xkam riꞌ pune kꞌaslik kabꞌantajik.
7 Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
Chachilibꞌej chike are kakibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ, rech maj mak kariqitaj chike.
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.
Ri man kuya ta ri jastaq ri kajawataj chike ri winaq ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa ri rachoch, ukꞌekꞌem ri ukojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj ajmak na choch ri winaq ri man kojonel taj.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Chikixoꞌl ri e malkaꞌn taq ixoqibꞌ xwi yaꞌtalik kakꞌojiꞌ ri ixoq ri oxkꞌal chik ujunabꞌ ri qas xa jun rachajil xkꞌojiꞌk,
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.
xuqujeꞌ etaꞌmatal uwach rumal ri utz laj taq chak ubꞌanom, jas ta ne ri kikꞌiyisaxik ri ral, yoꞌj kiwa xuqujeꞌ kachoch nikꞌaj winaq chik, chꞌajoj kaqan ri e kojonelabꞌ, yoꞌj tobꞌanik chike ri kakiriq kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan ri utzilal pa ronojel qꞌotaj.
11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Messiah, they desire to marry;
Man kaya ta chikixoꞌl ri malkaꞌnibꞌ ri akꞌal taq ixoqibꞌ malkaꞌn, rumal cher are keqꞌat bꞌik che ri Cristo rumal ri urayibꞌal kikꞌuꞌx kakaj kekꞌuliꞌ chi na.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
Jeriꞌ kuꞌx aꞌjmakibꞌ, man kakibꞌan ta ri xkibꞌij chi kakibꞌano.
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.
Kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌaman chike xaq e saqꞌoribꞌ, kewaꞌkatilobꞌ cho taq ri ja. Man xaq xwi ta kꞌut kuꞌx saqꞌoribꞌ, xane e tzijtaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ kakitzijoj taq ri man yaꞌtal ta chike.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
Rumal kꞌu waꞌ keꞌntaqchiꞌj ri akꞌal taq ixoqibꞌ ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ, rech kekꞌuliꞌk xuqujeꞌ kekꞌojiꞌ kal, utz kaꞌna chi rilik ri uwo kachoch, makiya bꞌe che ri yoqꞌbꞌal rech ri kꞌulel.
15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
Kinbꞌij waꞌ rumal cher e kꞌo jujun ri xkijelechꞌuj kan ri kibꞌe chutereneꞌxik ri Itzel.
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.
We kꞌo jun kojonel ri e kꞌo malkaꞌnibꞌ pa rachoch, rajawaxik kuꞌtoꞌo rech man e jun eqaꞌn taj che ri komontyox, jeriꞌ ri komontyox kakwinik keꞌril ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ ri e tzaqtal kanoq.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ri utz kakibꞌan che ri jastaq pa ri komontyox, kamul yaꞌtal kiqꞌij, sibꞌalaj e kꞌo na ri kakitzijoj ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri kakiya kꞌutuꞌn.
18 For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Makoj chim puꞌwiꞌ utzaꞌm ri wakax are tajin kuyaqꞌ ri tiriko, rumal cher ri ajchak taqal che chi katojik.
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Maya bꞌe xaq katzujux jun kꞌamal bꞌe, we man e kꞌo kebꞌ o oxibꞌ winaq ri xiꞌlowik.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Chaꞌyaja chikiwach konojel ri winaq rech ri komontyox ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe ri kemakunik rech kux jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chikiwach konojel.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and Messiah Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Qas cho ri Dios katintaqchiꞌj, xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri Jesús rachiꞌl ri angelibꞌ ri e chaꞌtalik, chatereneꞌj we kinbꞌij chawe, man kaya ta bꞌe xaq kakꞌutwachin apanoq jastaq chawach, xuqujeꞌ man xaq ta kꞌyaqal winaq kaꞌchaꞌo.
22 Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Qas chachomaj na are kaya aqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri winaq ri kawaj kok che kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri komontyox, rech man kaꞌwachiꞌlaj ta pa ri kimak. Qas chatkꞌol pa chꞌajchꞌojil.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
Man xwi ta katij jaꞌ, chatija jubꞌiqꞌ vino, rumal chi kꞌax ri apam xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel tajin katyawajik.
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
Ri kimak e jujun kaqꞌalajinik pune majaꞌ kasol rij. Are kꞌu ri kimak nikꞌaj kꞌa te ketaꞌmatajik ikꞌowinaq chi ri qꞌotaj.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
Je xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj taq chak, pune aꞌwatalik xa kꞌu we aninaq o kꞌamaꞌtam kakikꞌut wi na kibꞌ keqꞌalajin wi na.
