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;
Chide not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men, as thy 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.
and the elder women, as mothers; and the younger women, as thy sisters, with all purity.
3 E hoomaikai aku i na wahinekanemake, i ka poe wahinekanemake oiaio.
Honor 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 hath children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show kindness to their own households, and to repay the obligations to their parents; for this is acceptable before 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 truly a widow, and solitary, her hope is in God; and she persevereth in prayers, and in supplications, by night and by 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 followeth pleasure, is dead while she liveth.
7 Oia mau mea kau e kauoha aku ai i hala ole lakou.
These things enjoin thou on them, that they may be blameless.
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 any one careth not for them who are his own, and especially for them who are of the household of faith, he hath rejected the faith, and is worse than the unbelievers.
9 Aole e pono, e kakauia ma ka palapala, ka wahinekanemake i kanaono ole na makahiki, a ua wahine na ke kanaka hookahi,
Therefore elect thou the widow, who is not less than sixty years old, and who hath 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.
and hath a reputation for good works; if she have trained up children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have walked in 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 the younger widows do thou reject; for they wax wanton against the Messiah, and desire to be married:
12 A e hoohewaia, no ko lakou haalele ana i ko lakou manaoio mamua.
and their condemnation is fixed, because they have cast off their former 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.
And they also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to talk much, and to pursue vanities, and to utter what 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 would therefore, that the younger women marry, and bear children, and regulate their houses; and that they give no occasion to the adversary for reproach.
15 No ka mea, ua huli e ae nei kekahi poe mamuli o Satana.
For some have already begun to turn aside after 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 man or believing woman have widows, let them support them; and let them not be a burden on the church; so that there may be a sufficiency for such as are really widows.
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 conduct themselves well, be esteemed worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in doctrine.
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 saith Thou shalt not muzzle the ox in threshing; and, The laborer is worthy of his pay.
19 Aole oe e hoolohe i ka hoohewa ana i ka luna kahiko, ke ole ia ma na mea hoike, elua, ekolu paha.
Against an elder, receive not a complaint, except at the mouth 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 before all rebuke; that the rest of the people may 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 charge thee, before God, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and his elect angels, that thou observe these things; and let not your mind be preoccupied by any thing: and do nothing with a respect for persons.
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.
Lay not the hand hastily on any man; and participate not in the sins of others; keep thyself 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.
And hereafter drink not water, but drink a little wine; on account of thy stomach, and thy continuing 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.
There are persons, whose sins are known, and go before them to the place of judgment; and there are some, whom they follow after.
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.
So also good deeds are known: and those which are otherwise cannot be hid.
