1 Timoti 5
1 Kati ugbarka ucokoro, nyinza me tize gusi acco uyoo uwe, nyinza inyani tize gusi anu henu.
Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:
2 Nyinza awari aneh kasi anino uwe, mabura kasi anu henu uwe alau.
the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Nyinza akoro tinanu, akoro akadura.
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 Abanna me ukoro sa mazin in ahana nyani anu uyarang, tonno wa tubu unyimza uti nanu anyimo anikura niweme, tonno wa garsa anu aweme, barki Asere ma kunna urinta unime.
But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to shew piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 Abanna okoro ukadura samazin in sisi umme, ma inko iriba imeme ahira Asere, kondi umaye ma patti nicce nimeme unu wuza uni kori nan biringara niye nan nu wui.
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 Abanna, uneh unu nyara uti cukum turonta mamu wono, sa ma zini ivai.
But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 Ukuri ubui tize ti mumbarki ticiku imum uzatu cara uniza.
These things also command, that they may be without reproach.
8 Abanna indaki unu marusa wuza anu ahenu uwe ire mum ige sa patti we ba, ana kura aweme sa wazi, wa nyari we kadura, imbari anu zatu u tarsa Asere nan me.
But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Ceki abati vana u eh ukoro de sa daki ma biki tiwe akure utarsi ba uneh unu inde.
Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man,
10 A rusi me inka tuma kare-re, nyani ma mahirii a hana a meme memereni, ma ku cukuno unu kabsa agenu, nyani unu kpijo uti buna tanu tarsa Asere, myini macukuno ubenki ande sa apatti we, ma inki iriba ahira ako ya katuma kare-re.
well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.
11 Abanna ahira akoro be sa wada unu uhira, kati soki we anyimo anigo na koro, barki inki warizo anyimo a gmei maje manipum mage besa mazin inishina nan nu Ugomo asere wa nyari wa wuzi anya.
But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
12 Unu ugino uni wa oro acce awe me ujoro barki vete utirza utize tu tuba.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first faith.
13 Ma me we iriba iku gbara, wazi nu kese ati kura tikura, azo agi ticukuno ti kugbara tini casba, abanna wa cukuno ana bi bukum, ana nyet, ana nye-nyet, wazinu ubo imum be sa daki ya wuna ba.
And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 Barki ani me in nyara akoro ana hira wa wuzi anya, ya yozo ahana, wa benki akura, barki kati anya unu uburu ahira ubit uru uwuza imum izenze.
I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give none occasion to the adversary for reviling:
15 Barki aye wamu hurnewe wa tarsa unu uburu.
for already some are turned aside after Satan.
16 Inki ure uneh unu uhem in kadura mazin ina okoro, ceki ma benki we, barki kati anya udenge wanu tarsa utize ta sere ubanki akoro akadura.
If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17 Acokoro be sa wazin intigomo ti re-re wa kem unonziko uhana kare, kusi ande be sa wazin inka tuma in na gogbura are-re nan nubezizi.
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and in teaching.
18 Abanna u inko utize waguna, “Kati u impi kapadari anyo ugniya sa kazin nu sutuka immare,” de sa ma wuza kaduma anyame ikirfi ime.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his hire.
19 Kati ukabi anyari ahira ucokoro inki yani unu ira cukuno waru hana wataru.
Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses.
20 Ugbarka ana madini aje kodevi bati ukasu me ukunna biyyau.
Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 Ma wuna we barki Asere, nan Ugomo Asere Yeso, nan ana kudura ka sere sa azaukawe tarsa timummu kati ugursa ahira nan nu be usassas.
I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Kati uwuu dibe u tara uwe tari, kati uhaki anyimo a madini ma uwe, inta nicce nuwe mamerum.
Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
23 Kati ure aje ina sa gmei, abanna me abanna, anya anime saa gmei cinglin barki apuru awemezome ahuma ba.
Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
24 Madini ma aye maraa amasaa, wa wuza ishina anyimo u inko utize, abanna me aye wa madini mawe me matarsa we.
Some men’s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after.
25 Ani mani, kare katuma kare-re kaweme ka matarsa we. Ani mani, kare katuma kare-re kaweme ka raa amasaa, abanna mare mada mazo me nihunzi ba.
In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
