1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Usatsiura murume mukuru nehasha, asi utaure naye sounotaura nababa vako. Vaduku uvabate savanunʼuna vako.
2 the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
Vakadzi vakuru savanamai, uye vakadzi vaduku sehanzvadzi, nokuchena kwose kwomwoyo.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Ipa rukudzo rwakafanira kuchirikadzi dziri chirikadzi chaidzo.
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 chirikadzi ina vana kana vazukuru, ava ngavatange ivo kudzidza kurarama chinamato chavo kumhuri dzavo uye vadzosere zvakafanira kuvabereki vavo uye navakwegura, nokuti izvi zvinofadza Mwari.
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.
Chirikadzi iri chirikadzi chaiyo uye yakasara ichingova yoga inoisa tariro yayo kuna Mwari uye inogara ichinyengetera nokukumbira kuna Mwari usiku namasikati.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Asi chirikadzi inoraramira kuzvifadza yakafa ichiri mhenyu.
7 Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
Rayirawo vanhu zvinhu izvi, kuitira kuti kurege kuva nomunhu angapomerwa.
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.
Kana munhu asingachengeti hama dzake, uye zvikuru sei veimba yake, arasa kutenda, uye akaipa kukunda asingatendi.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Hakuna chirikadzi inganyorwa pamazita echirikadzi kana isina makore anopfuura makumi matanhatu, yakanga yakatendeka kumurume wayo,
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.
uye ichinyatsozivikanwa pamabasa ayo akanaka, akafanana nokurera vana, nokubata vaeni zvakanaka, kushambidza tsoka dzavatsvene, kubatsira vaya vari mumatambudziko, uye yakazvipira kuita pamabasa ose akanaka.
11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Christ, they desire to marry;
Asi kana dziri chirikadzi duku usadzinyora pamazita aya. Nokuti kana nyama yadzo yakunda kuzvipira kwadzo kuna Kristu, dzichazotsvaka kuwanikwa.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
Naizvozvo dzichazvivigira kutongwa, nokuti dzinenge dzaputsa kutenda kwadzo kwokutanga.
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.
Pamusoro pezvo, dzinoita tsika dzokuva nousimbe uye dzichipota nedzimba. Uye hadzizi simbe bedzi, asi vaitiwo vamakuhwa, uye vasina basa ravanoita, vachitaura zvisakafanira.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
Naizvozvo ndinoti kuchirikadzi duku ngadziwanikwe, kuti dzibereke vana, dzichengete dzimba dzadzo uye kuti dzisapa muvengi mukana wokupomera nawo.
15 For already some have turned aside after Satan.
Vamwe vakatotsauka kare 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 mukadzi upi zvake mutendi aine chirikadzi mumhuri yake, anofanira kudzibatsira uye arege kuita kuti kereke iremedzwe nadzo, kuitira kuti kereke igone kubatsira chirikadzi dziri kushayiwa zvechokwadi.
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 kereke zvakanaka vakafanira kukudzwa zvakapetwa kaviri, zvikuru sei vaya vanoita basa rokuparidza nokudzidzisa.
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 runoti, “Usasunga muromo wenzombe kana ichipura zviyo,” uye “Mushandi akafanirwa nomubayiro wake.”
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Usagamuchira mhaka inopomerwa mukuru kunze kwokunge yauyiswa nezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Avo vanotadza vanofanira kutsiurwa pamberi pavanhu, kuitira kuti vamwe vagoyambirwa.
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.
Ndinokurayira, pamberi paMwari naKristu Jesu uye napamberi pavatumwa vakasanangurwa, kuti uchengete mirayiro iyi zvakanaka, uye usingaiti uchitsaura vanhu.
22 Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Usakurumidza kuisa maoko pamusoro pomunhu, uye usabatana nezvivi zvavamwe. Zvichengete kuti uve wakachena.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
Rega kunwa mvura yoga, uye unwe waini shoma nokuda kwomudumbu mako uye nokurwara-rwara kwako.
24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
Zvivi zvavamwe vanhu zvinoonekwa pachena, zvichivatangira kusvika panzvimbo yokutongwa; zvivi zvavamwe zvinotevera mushure mavo.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
Nenzira imwe cheteyo, mabasa akanaka anoonekwawo pachena, uye kunyange naasina kudaro haangavanziki.
