1 Timoti 5

1 Hagi ranra vahekura rankea huontenka, negafanku'ma nehanaza hunka fru kefinti antahigo. Hanki kahefa vahera negafuma huntenaku nehanaza hunka azeri so'e nehunka,

Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,

2 ranra a'nea negrerama hunentana kna hunentenka, zahufa a'nea, negasaroma hunentanankna hunka knare antahintahifi fatgo kazigati kva huzmanto.

the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters — with all purity.

3 Mago kva krintega vahe'ma omani'nesia kento a'nea, kva krizamanteho.

Show consideration for widows — I mean those who are really widowed.

4 Hu'neanagi mago kento a'ma mofavre'afi, negehoma maninesuno'a esera zamagra rempi hu'za mono'mo hu'nea kante nozamifi zamarera zamafaza kva krizmante'naza nona hu'za kva huzmanteho, Anumzamofona e'inahu zanku ave'nesie.

but, if a widow has children or grand-children, let them learn to show proper regard for the members of their own family first, and to make some return to their parents; for that is pleasing in God’s sight.

5 Ana hianagi agraku nemanisia kento a'mo, Anumzante amentinti nehuno hanine zagene nunamuna huno Anumzana antahigegahie.

As for the woman who is really widowed and left quite alone, her hopes are fixed on God, and she devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.

6 Hu'neanagi mago kento a'mo agri'ma avenesia zankuke agesa nentahimo'a, kahefa mani'neanagi avamupina ko fri'ne.

But the life of a widow who is devoted to pleasure is a living death.

7 Vahe'tmina ama naneke zamasmige'za avaririho, e'ina hananke'za mago'amo'za ke huzmante kanku hakegahaze.

Those are the points on which you should dwell, that there may be no call for your censure.

8 Hianagi mago'mo'ma kora fatgoama zamazeri so'e osuno, naga'anema zamazeri so'e osnimo'a, amentintimo'a amne zankna hanigeno, zamentinti nosnaza vahera zamagatereno haviza hugahie.

Any one who fails to provide for his own relations, and especially for those under his own roof, has disowned the Faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

9 Hanki kento a'nea zamazama hunaku zamagima kresafina 60'a zage kafuma huno, nevente mani fatgo hu'nesia kento a' aza hugahaze.

A widow, when her name is added to the list, should not be less than sixty years old; she should have been a faithful wife,

10 Ana kentomo knare avu'ava nehiaza negesageno, mofavre zaga'a negrino, aru vahe agampu nehuno, mono kva vahe zamaga sese nehuno, knafi mani'nesaza vahe zamaza nehuno, ana eri'zama'a arimpa amino knare huno erigahie.

and be well spoken of for her kind actions. She should have brought up children, have shown hospitality to strangers, have washed the feet of her fellow Christians, have relieved those who were in distress, and devoted herself to every kind of good action.

11 Hu'neanagi kahefa kento a'nea zamaza hunaku zamagima kresafina onkreho, na'ankure zamesi'zamo zamavazu hanige'za Kraisimpi hanaveti'za nemaniza'za atre'za ve erigahaze.

But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry,

12 Ko'ma huvempa hu'naza kea anama hazazamo rufutagige'za, kea eri'za zamagra'a zamufafi emenentaze.

and so they bring condemnation upon themselves for having broken their previous promise.

13 Hagi eri'za e'ori amne mani'neza, ru nompi ru nompi mareritere nehu'za, nosuna naneke nehu'za, rumofo nanekere zamefiga'a ke hu'za vano nehu'za, osuga naneke nehaze.

And not only that, but they learn to be idle as they go about from house to house. Nor are they merely idle, but they also become gossips and busy-bodies, and talk of what they ought not.

14 Nagrama nagesa nentahuana, kahefa kento a'nemo'za ve eri'za mofavre nente'za, nozamia kegava nehanage'za, huhavi'za huzmanteku hanaza vahe'mo'za kegura hakregahaze.

Therefore I advise young widows to marry, bear children, and attend to their homes, and so avoid giving the enemy an opportunity for scandal.

15 Na'ankure mago'amo'za hago kana atre'za Sata nevaririze.

There are some who have already left us, to follow Satan.

16 Hagi mago amentinti nehania a'mo naga'afi kento a'nema mani'nesazana, agra knare'za huno ana a'neramina zamaza hanigeno'a, mono vahera kna eri ozamisageno, zamagra'zmi zamaza huga osune'naza kento a'nea, mono vahe'mo'za zamaza hugahaze.

Any Christian woman, who has relations who are widows, ought to relieve them and not allow them to become a burden to the Church, so that the Church may relieve those widows who are really widowed.

17 Hagi elda vahera, Anumzamofo eri'zante kvagri so'e nehaza vaheki, zamagi erisaga nehuta antegna huta mago'ene zamiho. E'ima hanaveti'za mono ke nehu'za, rempima hunezmi'za vahera mono naga'mo'za zamaza hugahaze.

Those Officers of the Church who fill their office well should be held deserving of especial consideration, particularly those whose work lies in preaching and teaching.

18 E'i ana kante mono avontafe'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Bulimakaomo'ma witi raga refuzafupeno anoma'a neharesigeta, zamagitera nofira ana'okiho. (Diu-Kas 25:4) Anazanke huno eri'zama erisia nona'a mizama'a erigahie. (Luk 10:7.)

The words of Scripture are — ‘Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain.’ and again — ‘The worker is worth his wages.’

19 Elda ne'ku rumo'za kna ami ke huntesaza kea ontahio, hianagi tagufa vahe'mo'o, tare vahe'mo'ma huramagema hanigenka ana nanekea antahio.

Do not receive a charge against an Officer of the Church, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses;

20 Hanki kumi'ma nehaza kva vahera, hakare vahe zamufi zamazeri fatgo nehuge'za, maka vahe'mo'za nege'za, kumi' huzankura kore hugahaze.

but rebuke offenders publicly, so that others may take warning.

21 Anumzamofo avufine, Krais Jisasi avufine, huhampri zamante'nea ankero vahe'zmufi kasamuanki, ama nanekea amage' antenka vahera refko osunka, mago zanke hunka zamesi zamanto.

I charge you solemnly, before God and Christ Jesus and the Chosen Angels, to carry out these directions, unswayed by prejudice, never acting with partiality.

22 Ame'ama hunka kazana mago vahetera antenka mono eri'za erisie hunka azeri o'otio. Mago'a vahe'mo'za kumi' hanafina kagra ana kumipina kagra manigru hunka manio.

Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.

23 Tinkera onenka, osi'a waini tina nenegeno krimpamofona kaza hino, na'ankure hakare zupa krima enerinkure.

Do not continue to drink water only, but take a little wine on account of the weakness of your stomach, and your frequent ailments.

24 Hagi Mago'a vahe'mofo kumi'mo'a amate me'ne, kegaga hunte knare koteno vugahie. Hanki mago'amokizmi kumi'moa frakino me'neankino henka efore hugahie.

There are some men whose sins are conspicuous and lead on to judgment, while there are others whose sins dog their steps.

25 Anahu kante, hakare vahe'mokizmi knare zamu'zmamo'a amate me'ne. E'ina higeno mago'a vahe'mofo knare zamuzmamo'a oku'a me'neankino, henka'a efore hugahie.

In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
