1 Timothy 5
1 An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;
Pa bay repwòch ki di a yon granmoun, men, de preferans, rezone ak li tankou yon papa, a jèn mesye yo tankou frè yo,
2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters — in all purity;
a fanm avanse nan laj yo tankou manman, e jèn fanm yo tankou sè. Ak tout, san tach.
3 honour widows who are really widows;
Onore vèv ki vrèman vèv yo;
4 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
men si yon vèv gen pitit, oswa pitit pitit, yo dwe, dabò, aprann pratike respè anvè pwòp fanmi pa yo, e repaye pwòp paran pa yo, paske sa akseptab devan zye Bondye.
5 And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,
Alò, sila ki vrèman yon vèv, e ki kite sèl la, fikse tout espwa l sou Bondye e kontinye nan siplikasyon ak lapriyè lajounen kon lannwit.
6 and she who is given to luxury, living — hath died;
Men sila ki viv nan plezi a, mouri menm pandan ke li ap viv la.
7 and these things charge, that they may be blameless;
Preskri bagay sa yo tou pou yo kapab vin san repwòch.
8 and if any one for his own — and especially for those of the household — doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
Men si yon moun pa bay soutyen a sila ki pou li yo, e sitou a sila ki lakay li yo, li gen tan kite lafwa e vin pi mal ke yon enkwayan.
9 A widow — let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,
Yon vèv dwe mete nan lis la sèlman si li pa gen mwens ke swasant ane, e te madanm a yon sèl moun,
10 in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;
avèk repitasyon bon zèv, si li te elve timoun, si li te konn resevwa etranje byen, si li te lave pye a sen yo, si li te konn ede sila ki nan gwo pwoblèm yo, e si li te devwe tèt li a tout bon zèv.
11 and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
Men refize mete jèn vèv nan lis la, paske lè yo vin gen dezi sansyèl kont Kris la, y ap vle marye.
12 having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,
Konsa y ap vin merite kondanasyon paske yo mete sou kote ve ke yo te fè deja a.
13 and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;
An menm tan an, yo va aprann vin parese, pandan yo prale de kay an kay. E pa senpleman parese, men osi nan fè tripotay ak antre bouch nan zafè a moun, nan pale bagay ki pa bon pou pale.
14 I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;
Konsa, mwen vle jèn vèv yo marye, fè pitit, okipe kay, pou pa bay lènmi an plas pou repwòch.
15 for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.
Paske kèk nan yo deja detounen pou swiv Satan.
16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.
Si yon fanm ki se yon kwayan gen vèv ki depann de li, li dwe asiste yo e legliz la pa dwe pote chaj sa a, pou li kapab asiste sila ki vrèman vèv yo.
17 The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,
Ansyen ki dirije byen yo, dwe konsidere dign de doub onè, sitou sila ki travay di nan predikasyon ak enstriksyon yo.
18 for the Writing saith, 'An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and 'Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.'
Paske Lekriti a di: “Nou pa dwe mete mizo nan bouch a bèf la pandan l ap moulen sereyal la,” epi: “Ouvriye a dign de salè li.”
19 Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.
Pa resevwa yon akizasyon kont yon ansyen eksepte sou baz a de oswa twa temwen.
20 Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;
Sila ki kontinye nan peche yo repwoche yo nan prezans a tout moun, pou lòt yo tou kapab pè fè peche.
21 I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.
Mwen solanèlman chaje ou nan prezans a Bondye, a Kris Jésus e a zanj chwazi Li yo, pou kenbe prensip sa yo san favorize pèsòn, e pa fè anyen nan yon lespri patipri.
22 Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;
Pa poze men sou okenn moun twò vit, e konsa vin pataje nan peche a lòt yo. Kenbe tèt ou lib de peche.
23 no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;
Pa bwè dlo sèl ankò, men pran yon ti diven pou koz a vant ou ak maladi yo k ap boulvèse ou.
24 of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;
Peche kèk moun vin toutafè klè, li ale devan yo pou jijman. Pou lòt yo, peche pa yo vini aprè yo.
25 in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
Menm jan an tou, zèv ki bon yo toutafè klè, e sila ki pa konsa yo, p ap kapab kache.
