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.

Hagi ranra vahekura rankea huontenka, negafanku'ma nehanaza hunka fru kefinti antahigo. Hanki kahefa vahera negafuma huntenaku nehanaza hunka azeri so'e nehunka,

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.

ranra a'nea negrerama hunentana kna hunentenka, zahufa a'nea, negasaroma hunentanankna hunka knare antahintahifi fatgo kazigati kva huzmanto.

3 [Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.

Mago kva krintega vahe'ma omani'nesia kento a'nea, kva krizamanteho.

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.

Hu'neanagi mago kento a'ma mofavre'afi, negehoma maninesuno'a esera zamagra rempi hu'za mono'mo hu'nea kante nozamifi zamarera zamafaza kva krizmante'naza nona hu'za kva huzmanteho, Anumzamofona e'inahu zanku ave'nesie.

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].

Ana hianagi agraku nemanisia kento a'mo, Anumzante amentinti nehuno hanine zagene nunamuna huno Anumzana antahigegahie.

6 But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.

Hu'neanagi mago kento a'mo agri'ma avenesia zankuke agesa nentahimo'a, kahefa mani'neanagi avamupina ko fri'ne.

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).

Vahe'tmina ama naneke zamasmige'za avaririho, e'ina hananke'za mago'amo'za ke huzmante kanku hakegahaze.

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].

Hianagi mago'mo'ma kora fatgoama zamazeri so'e osuno, naga'anema zamazeri so'e osnimo'a, amentintimo'a amne zankna hanigeno, zamentinti nosnaza vahera zamagatereno haviza hugahie.

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.

Hanki kento a'nea zamazama hunaku zamagima kresafina 60'a zage kafuma huno, nevente mani fatgo hu'nesia kento a' aza hugahaze.

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.

Ana kentomo knare avu'ava nehiaza negesageno, mofavre zaga'a negrino, aru vahe agampu nehuno, mono kva vahe zamaga sese nehuno, knafi mani'nesaza vahe zamaza nehuno, ana eri'zama'a arimpa amino knare huno erigahie.

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.

Hu'neanagi kahefa kento a'nea zamaza hunaku zamagima kresafina onkreho, na'ankure zamesi'zamo zamavazu hanige'za Kraisimpi hanaveti'za nemaniza'za atre'za ve erigahaze.

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].)

Ko'ma huvempa hu'naza kea anama hazazamo rufutagige'za, kea eri'za zamagra'a zamufafi emenentaze.

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.

Hagi eri'za e'ori amne mani'neza, ru nompi ru nompi mareritere nehu'za, nosuna naneke nehu'za, rumofo nanekere zamefiga'a ke hu'za vano nehu'za, osuga naneke nehaze.

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].

Nagrama nagesa nentahuana, kahefa kento a'nemo'za ve eri'za mofavre nente'za, nozamia kegava nehanage'za, huhavi'za huzmanteku hanaza vahe'mo'za kegura hakregahaze.

15 [I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.

Na'ankure mago'amo'za hago kana atre'za Sata nevaririze.

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].

Hagi mago amentinti nehania a'mo naga'afi kento a'nema mani'nesazana, agra knare'za huno ana a'neramina zamaza hanigeno'a, mono vahera kna eri ozamisageno, zamagra'zmi zamaza huga osune'naza kento a'nea, mono vahe'mo'za zamaza hugahaze.

17 [Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.

Hagi elda vahera, Anumzamofo eri'zante kvagri so'e nehaza vaheki, zamagi erisaga nehuta antegna huta mago'ene zamiho. E'ima hanaveti'za mono ke nehu'za, rempima hunezmi'za vahera mono naga'mo'za zamaza hugahaze.

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].

E'i ana kante mono avontafe'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Bulimakaomo'ma witi raga refuzafupeno anoma'a neharesigeta, zamagitera nofira ana'okiho. (Diu-Kas 25:4) Anazanke huno eri'zama erisia nona'a mizama'a erigahie. (Luk 10:7.)

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].

Elda ne'ku rumo'za kna ami ke huntesaza kea ontahio, hianagi tagufa vahe'mo'o, tare vahe'mo'ma huramagema hanigenka ana nanekea antahio.

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].

Hanki kumi'ma nehaza kva vahera, hakare vahe zamufi zamazeri fatgo nehuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za nege'za, kumi' huzankura kore hugahaze.

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.

Anumzamofo avufine, Krais Jisasi avufine, huhampri zamante'nea ankero vahe'zmufi kasamuanki, ama nanekea amage' antenka vahera refko osunka, mago zanke hunka zamesi zamanto.

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.

Ame'ama hunka kazana mago vahetera antenka mono eri'za erisie hunka azeri o'otio. Mago'a vahe'mo'za kumi' hanafina kagra ana kumipina kagra manigru hunka manio.

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.

Tinkera onenka, osi'a waini tina nenegeno krimpamofona kaza hino, na'ankure hakare zupa krima enerinkure.

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.

Hagi Mago'a vahe'mofo kumi'mo'a amate me'ne, kegaga hunte knare koteno vugahie. Hanki mago'amokizmi kumi'moa frakino me'neankino henka efore hugahie.

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.

Anahu kante, hakare vahe'mokizmi knare zamu'zmamo'a amate me'ne. E'ina higeno mago'a vahe'mofo knare zamuzmamo'a oku'a me'neankino, henka'a efore hugahie.
