1 Timothy 5
1 Blame thou not an eldere man, but biseche as a fadir, yonge men as britheren; elde wymmen as modris,
Nka akɔkoraa anim, na mmom, hyɛ no nkuran, sɛdeɛ wobɛyɛ ama wʼagya. Sɛdeɛ wobɛyɛ wo nuabarima no saa ara na fa yɛ mmabunu,
2 yonge wymmen as sistris, in al chastite.
yɛ mmaa mpanimfoɔ sɛ wo maamenom, na mmabaawa nso, fa wɔn sɛ wo nnuammaa wɔ kronnyɛ mu.
3 Honoure thou widewis, that ben very widewis.
Ma wʼani nku mmaa akunafoɔ a wɔnni ahwɛfoɔ ho.
4 But if ony widewe hath children of sones, lerne sche first to gouerne her hous, and quyte to fadir and modir; for this thing is acceptid bifor God.
Sɛ okunafoɔ bi wɔ mma anaa mmanana a, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa nyamesom pa so de som wɔn abusua de tua wɔn awofoɔ ne nananom ka, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ wɔyɛ saa a na ɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani.
5 And sche that is a widewe verili, and desolate, hope in to God, and be bisy in bisechingis and preieris niyt and dai.
Ɔbaa a ɔyɛ okunafoɔ ampa ara no a ɔnni obi a ɔhwɛ no no de nʼanidasoɔ nyinaa ahyɛ Onyankopɔn mu, enti anadwo ne awia, ɔkɔ so bɔ mpaeɛ srɛ ne mmoa.
6 For sche that is lyuynge in delicis, is deed.
Nanso, sɛ okunafoɔ bi de ne ho ma ewiase a, na ɔyɛ teaseawuo.
7 And comaunde thou this thing, that thei be withouten repreef.
Ka saa mmara yi kyerɛ wɔn na obi annya wo ho mfomsoɔ.
8 For if ony man hath not cure of his owne, and most of hise household men, he hath denyed the feith, and is worse than an vnfeithful man.
Na sɛ obi nhwɛ ne fiefoɔ, ne titire no, ɔno ara nʼabusuafoɔ a, na wabu ne gyidie so. Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔyɛ onipa bɔne sene deɛ ɔnnye nni no.
9 A widewe be chosun not lesse than sixti yeer, that was wijf of oon hosebonde,
Mfa okunafoɔ biara a ɔnni mmoroo mfeɛ aduosia din nka akunafoɔ din ho. Asɛm a ɛka ho ne sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ obi a wadi ne kunu nokorɛ,
10 and hath witnessing in good werkis, if sche nurschede children, if sche resseyuede pore men to herbore, if sche hath waischun the feet of hooli men, if sche mynystride to men that suffriden tribulacioun, if sche folewide al good werk.
na afei wagye din wɔ nneyɛeɛ pa ho. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa a watete ne mma yie na ɔgyee ahɔhoɔ wɔ ne fie na ɔhohoroo Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nan ase na ɔboaa ahokyerefoɔ na ɔde ne ho maa nnwuma pa ahodoɔ nyinaa.
11 But eschewe thou yongere widewis; for whanne thei han do letcherie, thei wolen be weddid in Crist,
Mfa akunafoɔ nkumaa no din nka wɔn ho. Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ ɛba sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsane ware a, wɔte wɔn ho firi Kristo ho
12 hauynge dampnacioun, for thei han maad voide the firste feith.
na ɛma wɔdi fɔ sɛ wɔabu wɔn bɔhyɛ a ɛdi ɛkan so.
13 Also thei idil lernen to go aboute housis, not oneli ydel, but ful of wordis and curiouse, spekynge thingis that bihoueth not.
Ɛno akyi, wɔsɛe wɔn berɛ kɔ afieafie mu na deɛ ɛnyɛ koraa ne sɛ, wɔdi nsekuro yɛ pɛrepɛre, ka nsɛm a anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔka.
14 Therfor Y wole, that yongere widewis be weddid, and bringe forth children, and ben hosewyues, to yyue noon occasioun to the aduersarie, bi cause of cursid thing.
Enti me pɛ ne sɛ, akunafoɔ nkumaa no bɛware, awo mma na wɔahwɛ wɔn afie sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a atamfoɔ nnya wɔn ho ɛkwan nka nsɛm ntia wɔn.
15 For now summe ben turned abak aftir Sathanas.
Akunafoɔ bi de wɔn ho ama ɔbonsam dada.
16 If ony feithful man hath widewis, mynystre he to hem, that the chirche be not greuyd, that it suffice to hem that ben very widewis.
Sɛ ɔbaa ogyidini bi wɔ akunafoɔ wɔ nʼabusua mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhwɛ wɔn yie na wɔamfa adesoa bi ammɛto asafo no so na asafo no atumi ahwɛ akunafoɔ a aka wɔn nko no.
17 The prestis that ben wel gouernoures, be thei had worthi to double onour; moost thei that trauelen in word and teching.
Mpanimfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asafo no so yie no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdwene wɔn ho na wɔde anidie mmɔho ma wɔn; ne titire no wɔn a wɔka asɛm no na wɔsane kyerɛkyerɛ nso.
18 For scripture seith, Thou schalt not bridil the mouth of the oxe threischinge, and, A werk man is worthi his hire.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Nkyekyere nantwie a ɔsi aburoo no ano!” Bio, “Odwumayɛfoɔ akatua fata no!”
19 Nyle thou resseyue accusyng ayens a preest, but vndur tweyne or thre witnessis.
Ntie asɛmmɔne a obi ka to ɔpanin bi so no, gye sɛ adansefoɔ baanu anaa baasa de saa asɛm no bɛto wʼanim.
20 But reproue thou men that synnen bifor alle men, that also othere haue drede.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa no, ka wɔn anim badwam na abɔ afoforɔ hu.
21 Y preie bifor God, and Jhesu Crist, and hise chosun aungelis, that thou kepe these thingis with oute preiudice, and do no thing in bowynge `in to the othere side.
Megyina Onyankopɔn ne Kristo Yesu ne abɔfoɔ kronkron anim ka sɛ, di saa mmara a mahyɛ wo yi nyinaa so a nhwɛanimu biara nni mu.
22 Put thou hondis to no man, nether anoon comyne thou with othere mennus synnes. Kepe thi silf chast.
Sɛ ɛhia sɛ wode wo nsa gu obi so wɔ Awurade dwumadie no mu a, mpepere ho. Twe wo ho firi bɔne a ɔfoforɔ yɛ ho na ma wo ho nte.
23 Nyle thou yit drinke watir, but vse a litil wyn, for thi stomac, and `for thin ofte fallynge infirmytees.
Nnom nsuo nko ara, na mmom, wo yafunu ne wo yadeɛ a wotaa yare enti, ɛyɛ a nom bobesa kakraa bi.
24 Sum mennus synnes ben opyn, bifor goynge to dom; but of summen thei comen aftir.
Nnipa bi bɔne a wɔyɛ no da adi pefee na saa bɔne no di wɔn anim de wɔn kɔ atemmuo mu, nanso afoforɔ bi wɔ hɔ a wɔn bɔne da adi akyire yi.
25 And also goode dedis ben opyn, and tho that han hem in othere maner, moun not be hid.
Saa ara nso na nneyɛeɛ payɛ no da adi pefee. Na deɛ ɛnna adi pefee no mpo ntumi nhinta.
