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.
MAI papa ikaika i ke kanaka kahiko, aka, e ao pono aku ia ia, me he makuakane la; a i ka poe ui hoi me he mau hoahanau la;
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.
A i na wahine kahiko, me he mau makuwahine la; a i na kaikamahine hoi me he mau kaikuwahine la, me ka maemae loa.
3 [Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.
E hoomaikai aku i na wahinekanemake, i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
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.
Aka, ina he mau keiki ka kekahi wahinekanemake, a he mau moopuna paha, e ao lakou e hoike mua i ke aloha ma ko lakou hale iho, a e uku aku i ko lakou mau makua; no ka mea, oia ka maikai, a me ka pono imua o ke alo o ke Akua.
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].
O ka wahinekanemake oiaio, a mehameha hoi, ua hilinai no ia i ke Akua, a ua noho mau no ia me ka pule ana a me ka hoomana ana i ka po a me ke ao.
6 But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.
Aka, o ka wahine e noho ana ma ka lealea, ua make no ia i kona wa e ola ana.
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).
Oia mau mea kau e kauoha aku ai i hala ole lakou.
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].
A i hoolako ole kekahi i kona a me ko ka hale ponoi ona iho no hoi, ua hoole ia i ka manaoio, a ua oi aku kona hewa i ko ka mea manaoio ole.
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.
Aole e pono, e kakauia ma ka palapala, ka wahinekanemake i kanaono ole na makahiki, a ua wahine na ke kanaka hookahi,
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.
A i mahaloia no kana hana maikai ana; ina i hanai ia i na keiki i hookipa hoi i na malihini, a i holoi hoi i na wawae o ka poe hoano, a i kokua hoi i ka poe poino, a ina i hahai mau ia i na hana maikai a pau.
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.
Aka, e hoole aku i na wahine kane make opiopio, no ka mea, i ka wa e lilo ai lakou i ka lealea e ku e ia Kristo, e ma re no lakou;
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].)
A e hoohewaia, no ko lakou haalele ana i ko lakou manaoio mamua.
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.
A ua lilo hoi lakou ma ka palaualelo, e lalau ana ma ia hale aku a ia hale aku; aole hoi o ka palaualelo wale no, o ka holoholo olelo kekahi, mo he poe hana lapuwale la, e olelo ana i na mea aole e pono ke olelo.
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].
O ko'u manao no ia no ua wahine opiopio, e mare lakou, a e hanau keiki, a e hooponopono i ka hale, i loaa ole ka hala e hoino mai ai ka enemi.
15 [I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.
No ka mea, ua huli e ae nei kekahi poe mamuli o Satana.
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].
A o ke kanaka, a o ka wahine paha i manaoio, he mau wahinekanemake kona, e malama no ia ia lakou i kaumaha ole ai ka ekalesia; a e pono ai hoi ia ia ke malama i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
17 [Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.
E malama nui ia'ku na lunakahiko e hoomalu pono ana, he oiaio hoi, o ua poe la i hooikaika ma ka olelo a me ke ao aku;
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].
No ka mea, ua olelo mai ka palapala hemolele, Mai hoopaa oe i ka waha o ka bipi kauo e hahi ana i ka palaoa. E pono ka paahana e ukuia mai.
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].
Aole oe e hoolohe i ka hoohewa ana i ka luna kahiko, ke ole ia ma na mea hoike, elua, ekolu paha.
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].
O ka poe hana hewa o kau ia e papa aku imua o ke alo o na mea a pau, i makau mai ai hoi o hai.
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.
Ke kauoha aku nei au imua O ke alo o ke Akua a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo, a me na anela punahele, e malama oe ia mau mea me ka hookela ole i kekahi mamua o kekahi, a me ka hana ewaewa ole.
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.
Mai kau alulu i na lima maluna iho o kekahi, aole hoi e komo pu oe i ko hai hala. E malama ia oe iho me ka maemae.
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.
Mai inu hou i ka wai maoli, he wahi waina uuku hoi kau e lawe ai i pono ai kou opu, a no kou nawaliwali pinepine ana.
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.
O na hewa o kekahi poe kanaka, ua akaka e no ia e hele mua ana i ka hoohewaia mai; a e hahai ana no hoi na hewa mamuli o kekahi poe.
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.
Pela no hoi na hana maikai, ua akaka e no kekahi; a o na mea i ole pela, aole nae e hiki ke hunaia.
