1 Timothy 5
1 Do not sharply rebuke an aged man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men, as brethren;
Nagumkalipira muntu mzewi, kumbiti kumgambiri mpolimpoli gambira Tati gwaku. Muwatenderi wantemba gambira walongu waku,
2 the elder women, as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity.
wadala wazewi guwagambiri handa mawu gwaku, na wahinga gambira muhasha gwaku, mumakaliru gaherepa.
3 Honor as widows those that are widows indeed.
Guwapanani ligoya wakenja yawehera ntangiru yoseri.
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.
Kumbiti mkenja yakaweriti na wana ama wazukulu, womberi wafiruwa kwanja kulifunda kutenda shawafiruwa yawamjimira Mlungu kwa kaya zyawu weni na hangu wawatenderi maheri walera wawu na wambuyi wawu gambira galii gawawatendiriti womberi kwanja, toziya shitwatira ashi shiherepa palongolu pa Mlungu.
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;
Mdala mkenja yakahera muntu gwa kumtanga nakaka, kamtulira Mlungu litumbiru lyakuwi kusali na kumluwa Mlungu kumtanga pashiru na paliwala.
6 but she that giveth herself up to pleasure is dead while she liveth.
Kumbiti mkenja yakasinda kulilewelera muvitwatira vya kulinemeziya nentu ayu gambira kahowa, tembera kangali mkomu.
7 These things also enjoin, that they may be blameless.
Guwapanani viraa Malagaliru aga, su wantu wamonga nawawawona watenda gaherepa ndiri.
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.
Kumbiti handa muntu kawalolera ndiri walongu wakuwi, ndo walii wa ukaya kwakuwi, su muntu ayu kayilema njimiru, na kadoda nentu kuliku muntu yakajimira ndiri.
9 Let a widow be put on the list when not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one husband,
Nagumwongelera mkenja yoseri yakenifiki vinja malongu sita nawamwingiziya muwalangwa ya wakenja. Kayi kiweriti kayugwa mala yimu hera,
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.
na kaweri na zyuma ziherepa mumakaliru, yakawaleriti wana wakuwi weri, yakawashemiriti wahenga ukaya kwakuwi, kawanaviyiti magulu wantu wa Mlungu na kawatangiti wantu wana ntabiku na yakalilaviyiti kutenda vitwatira viherepa vivuwa.
11 But younger widows refuse; for when they become wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
Kumbiti naguwalembisiya wakenja wahinga toziya handa lumatamata lwawu lwa nshimba paluwera livuwa na makakala kuliku kulilaviya kwawu kwa Kristu, hawafiri wawayugi kayi,
12 falling into condemnation, because they have cast off their first faith;
na hawawoneki wanalikosa kwa kuleka lipatanu lyawu lya kwanja.
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.
Wakenja gambira awa wanja kuwera waleri pawayerayera numba na numba, shashidoda nentu ndo shawanja kuwatakula wantu makondola, na kuliyingiziya muvitwatira vya wantu wamonga, agawu pawalonga vitwatira vyangali kufiriziwa kulonga.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
Su nfira wakenja wahinga wayugwi, wiwuli wana na kulolera weri numba zyawu su wankondu wetu nawapata lupenyu vya kulonga vitwatira vikondola kwa twenga.
15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.
Toziya wakenja wamonga waleka njira ya Mlungu na kumgendera Shetani.
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.
Kumbiti handa mawu yoseri Mkristu kana walongu weni ndo wakenja yawehera utanga nakaka, yomberi kafiruwa kuwatanga toziya nakashilekera shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu lihengu ali lya kuwatanga, su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiwaloleri walii yawawera wakenja wahera utanga nakaka.
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in teaching.
Wazewi wawalongoziya wantu uweri wafiruwa wanki shibena mgongu nentu, ndo kwa walii yawatenda lihengu kwa gangamala mukubwera na kufunda.
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.”
Toziya Malembu Mananagala ngalonga. “Nagumtawa ng'ombi mlomu pakafikisiya mbunji,” Na kayi “Mtenda lihengu kafiruwa kwanka shibena mgongu shakuwi.”
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation without two or three witnesses.
Nagujimira kwanka mayangiru ga wazewi wawalongoziya mshipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pawahera wakapitawu wawili ama watatu.
20 Those that sin rebuke before all, that the rest also may fear.
Walii yawatenda vidoda guwabeliziyi paweru, su wamonga wapati kutira.
21 I charge thee before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudging, doing nothing with partiality.
Nukulagalira palongolu pa Mlungu na pa Kristu Yesu na palongolu pa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasyagulwa, gugakoli malagaliru aga pota kubagula.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one, neither share in other men's sins. Keep thyself pure.
Nagutenda kanongola kumtulira muntu mawoku toziya ya lihengu lya kumtendera Mtuwa. Pagutenda hangu haguweri pamuhera na vidoda vyakuwi. Gulituli muuherepa.
23 No longer drink water only, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
Nagulanda mashi hera, kumbiti gulandi divayi ndidini, toziya ya mtima gwaku, toziya gulwala mala kwa mala.
24 Some men's sins are openly manifest, going before them to judgment; and some men they follow after.
Vidoda vya wantu wamonga viwoneka pota kufifa, pamberi pawawajega kuutoza, kumbiti vidoda vya wamonga vimanika pawasoka mkutoza.
25 In like manner also the good works of some are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Ntambu iraa hayi, mafiliru gaherepa gawoneka paweru, na ata galii yagawoneka ndiri paweru gaweza ndiri kwendeleya kufifwa.
