1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke/scold older men. Instead, exhort/advise them [respectfully] as you would [exhort/advise] your father. Exhort/advise younger men [gently] as you would exhort/advise your brothers.
Ayaw kasab-i ang usa ka tigulang, apan awhaga siya nga isip usa ka amahan, ug awhaga ang mga batan-on nga lalake nga isip nga mga igsoon.
2 [Exhort/advise] older women [respectfully] as [you would exhort/advise] your mother. [Exhort/advise] younger women [gently] as [you would exhort/advise] your sisters; but you must act in a completely proper way as you do that.
Awhaga ang mga tigulang nga babaye isip nga mga inahan, ug ang mga batan-on nga mga babaye nga mga igsoon nga adunay tanang kaputli.
3 [Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.
Tahura ang mga balo nga babaye, kadtong mga tinuod nga balo;
4 If a widow has children or grandchildren, these [children or grandchildren] should learn that they are to take care of their own family first. By doing that they can repay their parents and grandparents for all that they did for them when they were young, because doing that pleases God.
apan kung ang balo adunay mga anak o mga apo, sila ang unang magkat-on nga magpakita ug pagtahod sa ilang kaugalingong panimalay ug makabalos sila sa ilang mga ginikanan, tungod kay makahimuot kini sa Dios.
5 The widows who are really alone and have no one [to help them] confidently expect that God [will help them]. So night and day they pray, earnestly asking [DOU] [God that he will help them and others].
Apan ang tinuod nga balo nga nag-inusara na lang ug nagsalig siya sa Dios, kanunay siya gahulat sa atubangan niya uban sa mga hangyo ug mga pag-ampo gabii ug adlaw.
6 But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.
Apan kadtong babaye nga mahigugmaun sa luho patay na bisan tuod siya buhi.
7 And tell [the congregation] that [the children or grandchildren should do] these things in order that [no one] can (criticize the believers/say that the believers are doing anything that is wrong).
Ug isangyaw kining mga butanga aron walay ikasaway kanila.
8 If anyone does not take care of those who live in his own house, and especially if he does not take care of his own family, he has (denied/quit believing) what we believe and [we should consider that] he is worse than a person who does not believe [in Christ].
Apan kung kinsa ang dili maghatag sa mga kinahanglanon sa iyang kaugalingong paryente, hilabi na sa iyang kaugalingong panimalay, siya naglimod sa pagtuo ug mas dautan pa siya sa dili tumutuo.
9 [You have a list of] widows [who will do work for the congregation and receive money]. Put women’s names on the list [only if] they are more than 60 years old, and if they were faithful to their husbands.
Iapil ninyo sa listahan ang balo nga dili ubos sa saysenta anyos, nga asawa sa usa ka bana.
10 [Put women’s names on that list only] if it is known that they have wholeheartedly done every kind of good deed, if they have helped [children] who were afflicted/suffering, if they have (brought up/cared for) their children [properly/well], if they have welcomed and cared for guests, and if they have humbly served [MTY] other believers.
Kinahanglan nailhan siya sa iyang maayong binuhatan, nag-atiman man siya sa iyang mga anak, o maabiabihon sa mga estranghero, o naghugas sa mga tiil sa mga balaan, o nagpahupay sa nagkalisodlisod, o nagsunod sa tanang maayong bulohaton.
11 As for younger widows, do not put their names on that list, because they [promise to do work for the congregation, but instead of doing that, they usually] want to marry [again] (OR, marry an unbeliever) when they have a strong desire to get married.
Apan ang mga batan-ong balo, idumili ang pag-apil kanila sa listahan, kay kung madala sila sa mga lawasnong kaibog nga sukwahi kang Kristo, gusto na nila magminyo.
12 If that happens, they may become guilty of not having done what they had promised [to do for the congregation] (OR, promised [Christ that they would do].)
Sa ing-ani nga pamaagi makasala sila tungod kay ilang gibawi ang ilang saad kaniadto.
13 In addition, they [generally] become lazy. Specifically, as they [just] go about from house to house, they also begin (to gossip/to talk about people) and to meddle in other people’s affairs, saying what they should not say.
Usa pa, naanad na sila sa pagtinapulan, sige na lang ug panumbalay. Ug dili lamang sila nahimong tapulan, kondili nahimo pa silang libakira ug hilabtanon, gisulti nila ang dili unta nila angay nga isulti.
14 So I advise that [instead of putting the names of younger widows on the list, they] marry again, that they bear/have children, that they manage their homes [well], and that they do nothing for which an enemy can say bad things about [them].
Busa ako, buot nako magminyo ang mga batan-on nga babaye, manganak pa, idumala ang ilang panimalay, aron dili matagaan ang kaaway ug higayon nga mag-akusa kanato sa pagbuhat ug dautan.
15 [I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.
Kay ang uban nitalikod na ug nisunod kang Satanas.
16 If any woman who believes [in Christ] has widows [in her household/family], she should take care of them. The congregation should not be burdened by having {She should not depend on the congregation} to take care of their [needs]. The congregation should take care of the widows who truly [have no one to care for them].
Kung adunay tumutuo nga babaye nga adunay mga paryente nga balo, kinahanglan siya ang motabang kanila, aron dili sila palas-anon sa iglesia, aron nga matabangan gyud ang tinuod nga mga balo.
17 [Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.
Ang mga pangulo sa iglesia nga maayo ang ilang pagpangulo angay ilhon nga takos sa doble nga pagtahod, labi na kadtong nagtrabaho mahitungod sa pulong ug sa pagtulon-an.
18 [Long ago Moses] wrote in the Scriptures, “While an ox is threshing [grain], you must not tie its mouth [so that it cannot eat the grain],” and [Jesus said], “[People] should pay those who work [for their benefit].” [So we know that congregations should support their leaders].
Kay ang Kasulatan nag-ingon, “Ayaw ninyo sampungi ang baba sa baka samtang kini gagiok sa trigo,” ug ““Angay hatagan ang trabahanti sa iyang sweldo.”
19 When some person accuses an elder [about doing wrong], accept what he says only if there are [at least] two or three persons who (testify/say [that]) [they saw him do that wrong].
Ayaw dawata ang akusasyon batok sa usa ka pangulo sa iglesia, gawas kon adunay duha o tulo nga mga saksi.
20 But as for any [elder] who repeatedly sins, rebuke him before the whole congregation, in order that the rest [of the elders] will be afraid [to sin].
Badlonga ang makasasala sa atubangan sa tanan aron nga ang uban mahadlok.
21 I solemnly tell you that [as you keep in mind that] God and Christ Jesus and the holy angels know everything that you do, obey these commands [about elders]! [As you consider what others say about an elder doing wrong], do not easily/quickly decide that what they say is true. And treat them all equally.
Nagmando gyud ako kanimo sa atubangan sa Dios, ug kang Cristo Jesus, ug sa mga pinili nga mga anghel, nga tumanon nimo kini nga mga lagda nga walay pagdapig, ug wala kay buhaton nga aduna kay palabihon.
22 Do not be in a hurry to put your hands on a man ([to set him apart/to appoint him]) [as an elder. Wait until you have examined him to see how he conducts his life], because [God will consider] that you are responsible if [you approve] a person who sins, saying that he should [become an elder]. Keep your life pure in every way.
Ayaw pagdalidali sa pagpandong sa kamot kang bisan kinsa, ug ayaw usab pag-apilapil sa mga sala sa uban nga tawo. Kinahanglan kanunay kang putli.
23 [And Timothy], no longer drink [only] water, but instead, drink a little wine [also], because [that may help to cure] your stomach’s frequent illnesses.
Kinahanglan dili lang tubig ang imong imnom, apan angay nga moinom ka ug gamay nga bino alang sa imong tiyan ug sa imong mga gabalikbalik nga sakit.
24 [I tell you not] ([to set apart/appoint]) [elders hastily, without seeing how they conduct their lives, because] some people [sin secretly], so that it is not known what they have done until after someone examines them (OR, before God judges them). But some people sin openly, so that people know what they have done before anyone examines them.
Ang sala sa ubang mga tawo dayag nga nahibaloan, ug nag-una na kanila sa paghukom. Apan mosunod na ang uban.
25 Similarly, although [some people] do good things openly, with the result that people know what they have done, some people [do good things secretly], yet the good things that they have done cannot remain secret either.
Sa ingon sad nga paagi, ang ubang maayong bulohaton dayag na nahibaloan, apan bisan ang uban dili gyud matago.
