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.
Ahal oirabasingbu thina cheiganu, adubu nahakki ipagumna khanduna pukning thougatpiyu; naha oibasingbu nanaogumna,
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.
ahal oirabi nupisingbu nahakki imagumna amasung naha oibi nupisingna nachan-gumna khanduna pukning sengna loinabiyu.
3 [Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.
Kana leijadrabi lukhrabisingbu ikaikhumnabiyu.
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.
Kanagumbi lukhrabi amagi macha masu leirabadi, macha masusing aduna makhoina ahanbada makhoi masagi imung manungda makhoigi laininggi oiba thoudang adu pangthokpa tamsanu aduga asumna makhoigi mama mapa amadi mapu mabenda laman singsanu maramdi masi Tengban Mapugi maphamda apenbani.
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].
Yengsinbinaba kana leijadrabi lukhrabi aduna Tengban Mapuda asa thamjaduna, mahakpu pangbinaba ahing nungthil animakta haijei.
6 But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.
Adubu masa nungainaba hinglibi lukhrabi adudi hinglabasu mahak sirabani.
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).
Mingchat thiba leitanaba makhoida hiramsing asi haibiyu.
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].
Adubu kanagumbana mahakki mari mata maru oina mahak masamakki imung manunggi mibu yok-thaktrabadi, thajaba asi yajadre amasung thajadaba midagi mahakna henna phattre.
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.
Chahi humphu sudribi kana amata lukhrabisinggi marakta masing chalhan-ganu. Madugi mathakta mahakki mapuroibagi maphamda thajaba yaba punsi ama hinglambi misak ama oigadabani,
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.
amadi aphaba thabakkidamak mayamna sonnarabi haibadi machasingbu ningthina yok-thaklakpi, lamlanbasingbu taram taram tourambi, Mapu Ibungogi misinggi makhongbu hamdokpirambi, awa ana tarabasingbu pangbirabi amasung aphaba thabak khudingmakta maram okpi oirambi ama oigadabani.
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.
Naha oiribi lukhrabisingbu lukhrabigi masingda chalhan-ganu, maramdi makhoigi hakchanggi apambana makhoina Christtagidamak katthokchaba adudagi hen-gatlakpada makhoi mayum panninggani.
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].)
Asumna makhoigi hanna thamkhiba wasak adu thugaibagi wayel phangba oigani.
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.
Aduta nattana, yum yumda koichat chattuna matam manghanbagi heinabi leigani. Aduga makhoina karisu toudaba aduta nattana warem ngangba amasung migi thabakta khut thingjinduna, makhoina ngangloidaba wa ngangba oigani.
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].
Maram aduna naha oiribi lukhrabisingna amuk hanna mayum panduna machasing poktuna mayum makei ningthina panba haibasi eina pammi. Madu oirabadi yeknabasingna maral sinnabagi khudongchaba adu phanglaroi.
15 [I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.
Lukhrabi kharadi leithoktuna Satan-gi matung inkhre.
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].
Kanagumbi thajabi nupi amagi imungda lukhrabising leirabadi, mahakna makhoibu yengsinbigadabani maduna singlupta potlum oihalloidabani, madu oirabadi kana leijadrabi lukhrabisingbu singlupna pangbiba ngamgani.
17 [Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.
Singlupki thabak touduna chingbiriba ahal lamansing, maru oina Tengban Mapugi wahei sandokliba amadi tambiriba makhoising adu saruk ani henna ikai khumnabada matik chai.
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].
Maramdi Mapugi asengba Puyana hai, “Sallababu maheimarong netthat-hallingeida machin pun-ganu” aduga “Thabak suba mina asuman phangba matik chai.”
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].
Mi ani nattraga ahumgi sakhi leitrabadi, singlupki ahal amagi mathakta maral siba wa louganu.
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].
Mi ateinasu kinaba pap touriba ahansingdu miyam mangda cheiyu.
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.
Tengban Mapu, Christta Jisu amasung khanggatlaba swargadutsinggi mamangda eina nangonda hairi madudi nahakna achan mirai naidana, misak mimai yengdana hiramsing asi ngak-u.
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.
Tengban Mapugi thougan-gidamak misingbu katthoknaba makhoigi mathakta khut thambada hathu hathuganu. Mi ateigi papka saruk yaminnaganu; nahak nasamak sengna thamjou.
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.
Nahakna ising khakta thakkanu, nahakki chakkhaogidamak amasung nahakna toina nabagi maramana yu khara khara sijinnou.
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.
Mi kharagi papti iphong phong-i, wayenbagi maphamda makhoigi mang thana chatli aduga kanagumba kharagi papti makhoigi matung illi.
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.
Adugumduna aphaba thabakti iphon phong-i, aduga iphong phongba nattabasing adusu matam pumbagi oina lottuna thamba ngamde.
