Timoteo I 5
1 MAI papa ikaika i ke kanaka kahiko, aka, e ao pono aku ia ia, me he makuakane la; a i ka poe ui hoi me he mau hoahanau la;
Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,
2 A i na wahine kahiko, me he mau makuwahine la; a i na kaikamahine hoi me he mau kaikuwahine la, me ka maemae loa.
older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
3 E hoomaikai aku i na wahinekanemake, i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
Honor the widows who are truly widows.
4 Aka, ina he mau keiki ka kekahi wahinekanemake, a he mau moopuna paha, e ao lakou e hoike mua i ke aloha ma ko lakou hale iho, a e uku aku i ko lakou mau makua; no ka mea, oia ka maikai, a me ka pono imua o ke alo o ke Akua.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show godliness to their own family and repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
5 O ka wahinekanemake oiaio, a mehameha hoi, ua hilinai no ia i ke Akua, a ua noho mau no ia me ka pule ana a me ka hoomana ana i ka po a me ke ao.
The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
6 Aka, o ka wahine e noho ana ma ka lealea, ua make no ia i kona wa e ola ana.
But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.
7 Oia mau mea kau e kauoha aku ai i hala ole lakou.
Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
8 A i hoolako ole kekahi i kona a me ko ka hale ponoi ona iho no hoi, ua hoole ia i ka manaoio, a ua oi aku kona hewa i ko ka mea manaoio ole.
If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Aole e pono, e kakauia ma ka palapala, ka wahinekanemake i kanaono ole na makahiki, a ua wahine na ke kanaka hookahi,
A widow should be enrolled if she is at least sixty years old, the wife of one man,
10 A i mahaloia no kana hana maikai ana; ina i hanai ia i na keiki i hookipa hoi i na malihini, a i holoi hoi i na wawae o ka poe hoano, a i kokua hoi i ka poe poino, a ina i hahai mau ia i na hana maikai a pau.
and well known for good deeds such as bringing up children, entertaining strangers, washing the feet of the saints, imparting relief to the afflicted, and devoting herself to every good work.
11 Aka, e hoole aku i na wahine kane make opiopio, no ka mea, i ka wa e lilo ai lakou i ka lealea e ku e ia Kristo, e ma re no lakou;
But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,
12 A e hoohewaia, no ko lakou haalele ana i ko lakou manaoio mamua.
and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.
13 A ua lilo hoi lakou ma ka palaualelo, e lalau ana ma ia hale aku a ia hale aku; aole hoi o ka palaualelo wale no, o ka holoholo olelo kekahi, mo he poe hana lapuwale la, e olelo ana i na mea aole e pono ke olelo.
At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention.
14 O ko'u manao no ia no ua wahine opiopio, e mare lakou, a e hanau keiki, a e hooponopono i ka hale, i loaa ole ka hala e hoino mai ai ka enemi.
So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.
15 No ka mea, ua huli e ae nei kekahi poe mamuli o Satana.
For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
16 A o ke kanaka, a o ka wahine paha i manaoio, he mau wahinekanemake kona, e malama no ia ia lakou i kaumaha ole ai ka ekalesia; a e pono ai hoi ia ia ke malama i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.
17 E malama nui ia'ku na lunakahiko e hoomalu pono ana, he oiaio hoi, o ua poe la i hooikaika ma ka olelo a me ke ao aku;
Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
18 No ka mea, ua olelo mai ka palapala hemolele, Mai hoopaa oe i ka waha o ka bipi kauo e hahi ana i ka palaoa. E pono ka paahana e ukuia mai.
For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
19 Aole oe e hoolohe i ka hoohewa ana i ka luna kahiko, ke ole ia ma na mea hoike, elua, ekolu paha.
Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
20 O ka poe hana hewa o kau ia e papa aku imua o ke alo o na mea a pau, i makau mai ai hoi o hai.
But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.
21 Ke kauoha aku nei au imua O ke alo o ke Akua a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo, a me na anela punahele, e malama oe ia mau mea me ka hookela ole i kekahi mamua o kekahi, a me ka hana ewaewa ole.
I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.
22 Mai kau alulu i na lima maluna iho o kekahi, aole hoi e komo pu oe i ko hai hala. E malama ia oe iho me ka maemae.
Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Mai inu hou i ka wai maoli, he wahi waina uuku hoi kau e lawe ai i pono ai kou opu, a no kou nawaliwali pinepine ana.
Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
24 O na hewa o kekahi poe kanaka, ua akaka e no ia e hele mua ana i ka hoohewaia mai; a e hahai ana no hoi na hewa mamuli o kekahi poe.
The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.
25 Pela no hoi na hana maikai, ua akaka e no kekahi; a o na mea i ole pela, aole nae e hiki ke hunaia.
In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
