1 Timothy 5
1 Do not sharply rebuke an aged man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men, as brethren;
Lekakumukenela umugoha numunyampala. Inge mutie umoyo anga Tata ako. Anga nueatia umoyo iakumba niakigoha anga kina aluna ako.
2 the elder women, as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity.
Uatie umoyo iasungu niakombi anga aia ako, nianso anga adada ako kuuza wehi.
3 Honor as widows those that are widows indeed.
Akulye niashiewe niagoha ao, awa niashiewe etaitaai.
4 But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety to their own family, and to requite their parents; for this is acceptable before God.
Kuite ang'wi nushiewe ukete ana ang'wi inzukulu, aalekehanza amanye kupumya ikulyo kuantu amunyumbao ienso. Aleke aape nialeli ikinyamolimo nikiza, kuite inge inonee ntongela ang'wi Tunda.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and left alone, hath set her hope on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day;
Kuite nushiewe taitaai suyu nulekilwe win'wene du. Nung'wenso wezuekile imasigo akwe kung'wi Tunda. Mahiku ehi wikae musela nimalompi utiku numung'wi.
6 but she that giveth herself up to pleasure is dead while she liveth.
Ata uu, umusungu uyu nuikie muusambo ukule, hateze ukole mupanga.
7 These things also enjoin, that they may be blameless.
Hange umatanantya aya imakani aya kina ezeagila nukumelwa.
8 But if any one provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
Ila ang'wi umuntu singaukuitumila eatuma alewe, lukulu awa niakole munyumba akwe, wauhita uuhueli hange mube kukela umuntu nushuhuie.
9 Let a widow be put on the list when not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband,
Inge gwa umusungu waandekwe muauya anga mushilwa wezeukete myaka nisingaekipungua makumi mutandatu, hange musungu nua mugoha ung'wi.
10 well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
Wezeulengikile kuntendo ninza, watule wezuakee iana, ang'wi wakuile mukende kuageni, ang'wi wogilye imigulu ahueli, ang'wi auaaiye naeagigwa, ang'wi aewipumilye kumilemo ehi namiza.
11 But younger widows refuse; for when they become wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
Kuite kuashilwa niahumba, ukite kuchanguela muashilwa auya. Kunsoko angaingele munsula amuile mung'wa Kilisto, akulowa kutinwa.
12 falling into condemnation, because they have cast off their first faith;
Kunzila eye ingila migazo kunsoko ebumanga kipumya kung'wao anga pang'wandyo.
13 and withal they learn to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
Hange gwa ingila muitumi nuaunegetu. Neanso epilima ito nito. Singa udu kina anegetu, inge emelana, hange ingeila imakani auya. Nianso itambula imakani nishayianonee kumatambula.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Kuite gwa unene ndoilwe iananso atinwe, atuge iana, imiile imalo ao, nsoko aleke kumupa umulugu ilyoma nilakusemela kutuma umulandu.
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.
Kunsoko ang'wiao amupilukie umulugu.
16 If any man or woman that is a believer have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be burdened, that it may relieve those that are widows indeed.
Ang'wi ukole musungu wehi ukete ashilwa, inga waailye, nsoko itekeelo lilekekuhumiligwe, nsoko lihume kuaailya awa niashilwa taitaai.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in teaching.
Inge ianyampala awa niisinga iza aaligwe kina anonee kukuligwa nkua yehi, lukulu kuawa neituma kumanyisa ulukani lang'wi Tunda.
18 For the Scripture saith, “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while he is treading out the grain”; and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
Kunsoko imaandeko atungile, “Uleke kumemunya umulomo ing'ombe nikilya inolya.” hange “Umitumi unonee kipegwa kakwe.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation without two or three witnesses.
Leka kusingiilya uusemelwa kuanyampala inge itule akole akueli abiili ang'wi atatu.
20 Those that sin rebuke before all, that the rest also may fear.
Akenele iatumuli ntongeela aantu ehi nsoko niang'wi niasagile kang'wi akogopa.
21 I charge thee before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudging, doing nothing with partiality.
Nukulagiiye kungulu ntongeela ang'wiTunda, nintongeela ang'wa Yesu Kilisto, niamalaika niatunulwe, kina ulangaile imalagoaya uleke anga ubaguli, nikina uleke kutuma ikanilehi kwakubagula.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one, neither share in other men's sins. Keep thyself pure.
Uleke kukaya kunuekilya umuntu imikono. Uleke kutuma umulandu nua muntu numungiza. Yukunonee kigoza uewe utule wimiza.
23 No longer drink water only, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
Shainonee kung'wa imazi du. Inge gwa, ung'we imagae mashenyi kunsoko anda nuulwae ukole nuakila itungo.
24 Some men's sins are openly manifest, going before them to judgment; and some men they follow after.
Imilandu naantu ang'wi igeeleka kwe, nukuatongeela kuulamuli. Kuite imelandu eng'wi ilyala kunyuma.
25 In like manner also the good works of some are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Kuu uwu, imelimo ing'wi nimiza ilingika kwe, kuite nemingiza shekepikika.
