1 Ximttoossa 5
1 Cima asa ne Aawa mala bonchora zora attin doomm7ofa; naatetha attuma nayta ne ishata mala xeella.
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;
2 Hessathokka cima maaccashshata Aayista mala, naatetha maaccata qasse ne michista mala geeshsha wozinan xeella.
the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, with perfect modesty.
3 Aadafe metottettida amm7ista looeththa naaga.
Honour widows who are really in need.
4 Issi amm7eys nay woykko na nay diza gidikko, he nayti ba soo asata maaddanasine bena yeliddaytas kase istti oothida kushshe zaaron haraape kasetidi ba ammano oothon beessanasinne tamaranas beesses. Hessikka Xoossa ufayssizayssa.
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.
5 Qasse tumape maadoy bayindda, berkka diza amm7eya Xoossu xaalla xeellawusu. Woosasine Xoossafe maado deemmanas gaallasine qaama miinistawusu.
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;
6 Ha biitta loo7o duussu xaalla koyiza amm7eya gidikko iza paxa dashe hayiqqidarokko.
but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.
7 Oona bollakka woththoy doontta mala hayssa azazooza asas aatha.
Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives free from reproach.
8 Issi asi ba daabbota haraappekka ba soo asa maaddonttade gidikko izi ammano kaadiddadene ammanontta asapekka adhdhida iita asakko.
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.
9 Izisi layththay usuppun tammu layththafe garsara diza amm7ey sunththu amm7ista mazgaban xaapopa. Qasseka iza kase issade xaalla gellidaro gidanas beesses.
No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.
10 Nayta dichoninne immatha mokon, ammanizayta too meechchan, metootidayta maadonine loo7o oothon wursson bena aatha immada loo7o oothonkka keeza erettidaro gidanas beesses.
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.
11 Azinay bayindda naatetha amm7ista gidikko hessa mala mazzigaban xaafopa. Gasooykka isttas diza azinara daana amoy istti Kiristtoossas oothana gi gellida qaalape bollara adhdhiza wode adde gellana koyeetes.
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,
12 Istti kase caaqqida qaala miza gish he yoozan ba bolla pirda ehettes.
and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.
13 Hessafekka ootho oothanape yuuyi yuuyi asa keeth gelana dosettes. Ootho ixxo xaalla gidontta hasa7anas beessonttayssa hasa7ishe zigirizaytane kooshshontta asa yoo giido coo wooxi gelizayta gidettes.
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.
14 Hessa gish azinati hayqqida naatetha maaccashshati adde gelana mala, nayta yelana malane ba soo as ayssana mala, morkeykka istta bolla wooththiza miishshe demmontta mala ta zorayss.
I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no excuse for slander.
15 Addaaka hayssafe kase issi issi asati xala7e kaalana guye sherr7i gida.
For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan.
16 Ammaniza maaccashi oonikka ba soo asa giiddon amm7eti diza gidikko woosa keethi tumu amm7ista xaalla maaddana mala izakka ba baggara ba amm7ista maaddu attin woosa keethas tooho gidana mala aaggaguupu.
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.
17 Woosa keeththa lo7ethi ayssizayti haraapekka saabakonine tamarson miinniza cimati gidikko dikko mado madistanas beesses.
Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.
18 Maxxafan “kath buukiza boora duuna qaachchofa” qassekka “ootho oothizadey damussa ekkana beesses” gees.
For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay.
19 Namm77u markkay woykko hedzdzu markkay markkatontta dishin cima bolla shiiqqiza mooto ekkofa.
Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on the evidence of two of three witnesses.
20 Harati beeydi naagistana mala nagara oothizayta asa wursso sinththan hanqqa.
Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest.
21 Xoossanine Yesuss Kiristtoossan doorettida kiittanchata sinththan hayta azazota oonakka maaddontta ne naaggana malane issi miishshikka ta gooripe ziq dhooqu histtontta mala nena hadara gays.
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.
22 Xoossa oothos doranas, oona bollakka ne kushe wootha woosanas eesotopa. Qasse haratara nagara oothanas zuupetopa. nagarape nena xiillotethan naaga.
Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
23 Nena qanththan saakkizaysasinne deenththa saakkoza gish guuthu woyine caajjefe guujjada uya attin hayssafe guye haathe xaalla uyoopa.
(No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake of your digestion and your frequent ailments.)
24 Issi issi asa nagaray pirday yanafe kasetidi qonces, baggayta nagaray qass pirdafe guye qonces.
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.
25 Loo7o oothoykka hessa mala pirdafe sibthati qoncana, qonconta agikkokka piradafe guye qoncana.
So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.
