1 Timothy 5
1 Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger men as brothers;
Kana ukwilike nalume mpindo. Bali umyei mwoyo kati tati bako. Ubayei mwoyo achembe kati alongo bako.
2 the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.
Ubayei mwoyo alwawa agai kati mao bako, na alwawa ainja kinadada bako kwa usafi woti.
3 Honour widows who are really in need.
Kuwaesimu baba wilikwe na kiasengo bake balu babale ajane kweli kweli.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.
Lakini mjane Mana Abe na bana au asukulu, baneke wite baiyigane kuilaya heshimu kwa bandu panyumba bene. Banneke alipe apindo bake mema, Mana yii inagike mbeye ya Nnongo.
5 A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications and prayers, night and day;
Lakini ywawilike wa kweli ywalekilwe kisake, na ywembe amuumbilya Nnongo. Masuba goti adumu katika luba kiloo na mutwekati.
6 but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.
Hata nyo, nwawa ywa tama kwa anasa aluwa waa, ingawa balo nkoti.
7 Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach.
Ugatangaze makoe linga kana babe na lawama.
8 But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.
Ila mundu akotwike kina alongo'be munomuno bababile munyumba yake akani imani na mbaya kuliko mundu ywa kotwike aaminiya.
9 No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.
Bai mwananwawa jwabile paiya myaka sitini, kene mwa mwandike muoroza na nwawa wana lome yumo.
10 She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.
Lazima atanganikwe matendo gake mema, mana iteikajali bana, au angolwa maugulo baba haminile, au ayaugatia bababile mumateso, au atikijingia mulyengo linanoga.
11 But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,
Lakini kwabaloo ajane ainja, kene waandike muoloza ya wajane. Mana bajingile mumatamanywe gapayiga dhiri ya Kirisitu, barakunda kobekwa.
12 and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.
Kwa ndela yii bayingwa muatia batekwani kwipiya kwabe kwa kwanza.
13 And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go round from house to house; and they are not only idle, but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things that ought not to be spoken of.
Nakae jingya mumazoea ga ukata. Bembe tindia nyumba kwa nyumba kaisio. Akalilii ila Kae bapala baa abai na bene jingilwa na ikowe ya bingi. Bembe longela ikowe yaipalikwa lii longela bembe.
14 I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.
Kwa-nyo nenga napala alwawa ainja bakunde, bapape baba bayimi nyumba yabe, linga kana kupeya adui nafasi ya kutushitakya kwa panga ulau.
15 For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan.
Mana bingi bang'alambuki shetani.
16 If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened--so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.
Na nwawa ywoywote jwa aminile abe ajane, bai abayangate, linga kanisa lya kana topelwa, linga lyayangatie ajane kwelikweli.
17 Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.
Na apindo baba ongosa kinanoga babalangilwe kuwa benda staili eshima maradufu, hasa balo babaishungulisha fundisha likowe lya Nnongo.
18 For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay.
Maandiko genda longela “kana umwibe ng'ombe nkano pakulya chakulya” na “Na mpanga kazi andastaili msahala wake”.
19 Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on the evidence of two of three witnesses.
Kana wapoki mastaka gampindo pasipo masaidi abele au atatu.
20 Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest.
Wakwilike alau nnongi ya bandu bate linga benge babaigalile bayogope.
21 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.
Nenda kulangya kwadhati nongiya Nnongo na Yesu Kirisitu na malaika ba-achawile naugatunze maagizo gaa bila bagua na kene wapange likewe lyolyote kwapendelea.
22 Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
Kene wameki mundu ywoywote maboko upesi kene ushiriki dhambi ya mundu jwenge, ipalikwa kulendela twabene tube Safi.
23 (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake of your digestion and your frequent ailments.)
Ipalikwalii nywa mache bai. badala yake, unywe na wembe pachene kwaajili ya ndumbo na matamwe gako ya mara kwa mara.
24 The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of others lag behind.
Dhambi ya bandu benge itangani kwa wazi, nayenda kwalongolya kuhukumu. Lakini dhambi yengei ikengama badae.
25 So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.
Na nyonyo bazi ya lyenga lya bhandu itanganikwa wazi, lakini hata yingi iyanikawa-lii.
