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 exhort him as a father; the 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.
the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 E hoomaikai aku i na wahinekanemake, i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
Honor widows who are widows indeed.
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 any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable 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.
Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Aka, o ka wahine e noho ana ma ka lealea, ua make no ia i kona wa e ola ana.
But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Oia mau mea kau e kauoha aku ai i hala ole lakou.
Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
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.
But 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,
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been 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.
being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed 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 younger widows, for whenever their passions lead them away from Meshikha, they desire to marry;
12 A e hoohewaia, no ko lakou haalele ana i ko lakou manaoio mamua.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
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.
Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
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.
I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
15 No ka mea, ua huli e ae nei kekahi poe mamuli o Satana.
For already some have turned aside after Satana.
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 widows, she must assist them, and do not let the church be burdened; that it might help those 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;
Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in 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, "You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer 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 receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word 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.
Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
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 command you in the sight of God, and Meshikha Yeshua, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by 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 ordain anyone hastily, nor participate 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.
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
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 people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up 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 also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
