1 Timotheo 5
1 Wasiga okulundumila omukaruka. Tali umusimbagilishe omwoyo kuti ni esomwana. Nusimbagilishe omwoyo abhasigaji kuti ni bhamula bhanyu.
Do not reprimand an aged man, but continue pleading with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,
2 Usimbagilishe omwoyo abhagasi abhakokolo kuti nibha nyokomwana, na abhagasi bhanu bhachali kwikula bhabhe kuti bhayala bhanyu kwisima lyona.
the older women as mothers, the younger women as sisters in all purity.
3 Nuyane echibhalo abhagasi abhafwilwa, bhanu bhafwiliwe chimali mali.
Ever honor widows who are really widows;
4 Nawe omugasi omufwilwa akasanga ali na abhana na abhechukulu, bhasige okwamba bhakole jinu jiile okusakila emisi jebhwe. Bhakakola kutyo abhaliya abhebhusi bhebhwe na bhajaji bhwebhwe, nejo kutyo nijo ejikondelesha Nyamuanga.
but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in God’s sight.
5 Omugasi omusigwa ni unu asigilwe kuluyando wenyele. Omugasi nkoyo ubhwisige bhwaye bhuli ku Nyamuanga. Omwene nsiku jona atulile kwisabhwa no okulembeleja mungeta na mumwisi.
Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has fixed her hope on God, and devotes herself to supplications and prayers, day and night.
6 Nolwo jili kutyo, omugasi unu ekaye kwo okunyenyega afuye, nolwo kutyo kalibhata ali muwanga.
But she who lives in wantonness is dead even while she still lives.
7 Mbe ulashe amagambo ganu koleleki abhanu bhasiga okwikujula.
Keep admonishing them regarding these things, so that they may be irreproachable.
8 Tali omunu akabhula okusakila abhaili bhaye, muno muno abhaika owaye, omunu oyo alemele elikilisha na ni mubhibhi okukila unu atekilisishe.
But if any one fails to provide for his own, and especially for his kindred, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.
9 Mbe omugasi unu afwiliwe omulume, andikwe muchitabho cha abhasigwa akakingya myaka makumi mukaga, na aliga atwalibhwe na mulume umwi.
A widow, to be placed upon the list, must be not less than sixty years old, and one who has been the wife of but one husband.
10 Na nibhusi bhusi abhe amenyekene ati ebhikolwa bhaye nibhyakisi, achumaga abhana, amo aliga nakumilila abhagenyi, amo aliga nosha amagulu ga abhekilisha, amo asakilaga bhanu bhaliga bhali munyako, hamo aliga nesosha kumulimu gwona gwona ogwekisi.
She must be well reputed for good works, as one who has brought up a family, received strangers with hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the distressed, and diligently followed every good work.
11 Nawe abhagasi abhafwila bhanu bhachalimo obhuyalakaji, utabhandika mulwandiko lwa abhagasi abhafwila. Kulwokubha bhakanambaalila ejo omubhili okutasikana na Kristo, nibhenda okutwalwa.
But exclude from the list the younger widows; for where they have become wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 Kunjila eyo abhengila muntambala, okubha abhatambuka okwisosha kwebhwe okwa kubhwambilo.
and incur condemnation because they have broken their first troth.
13 Na abhengila muntungwa yo obhulenga. Nibheinda inda bhuli nyumba. Itali ati ni bhalenga ala, tali abhabha bhalomi bha abhanu no kwiingisha mumisango ja abhandi.
Moreover, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and are not only idlers, but gossips also, and busybodies, repeating things they ought not.
14 Kulwejo anye enenda abhagasi bhanu bhachali bhatwalwe, bhebhule abhana, bhombake emisi jebhwe, koleleki chitayana omusoko omwanya ogwo okuchitonganya chikakola ebhibhi.
It is my wish, then, that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule their houses, and give no occasion to our adversary for railing.
15 Kulwokubha abhandi bhaindukiye ku Syetani.
For already some widows have gone astray after Satan.
16 Labha omugasi wona wona omwikilisha ekaye na abhagasi abhafwilwa, mbe nabhasakile, koleleki likanisa lyasiga okukubhwa, koleleki litule okusakila abhasigwa chimwi chimwi.
Any believing woman, who has widowed relatives, ought to relieve them and not let the church be burdened with them; so that the church may relieve the really destitute widows.
17 Mbe abhakaluka bhanu abhatangasha kisi mubhayane echibhalo kwiya kabhili, muno muno bhanu abhakola emilimu jo okwiyigisha Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
Let the elders who fill their offices well, be held worthy of twofold honor; especially those who have the task of preaching and teaching.
18 Kulwokubha Amandiko agaika ati, “Wasiga okubhoya ing'a omunwa ukasanga niyo nitaja taja obhulo akatungu ka liula,” no omukosi we emilimu jiile okuyanwa omuyelo gwaye.”
For the Scripture says, You must not muzzle an ox when he is treading out the grain, and The worker is worth his wages.
19 Wasiga okulamila intongana yo omukaluka ukasanga bhatabhao bhamasaidi bhabhili hamo bhafu.
Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
20 Nugonye bhanu abhakola ebhibhibhi imbele ya abhejabho koleleki bhanu bhachali okukola kutyo amo bhobhaye.
Rebuke offenders publicly, so that others also may take warning.
21 Enikulagilila chimwi imbele ya Nyamuanga, na imbele ya Yesu Kristo, na bhamalaika abhasolwa, ugabhike amalagililo ganu obhutabha na solole yona yona, na utakola musango gwona gwona kwo okusolola.
I charge you solemnly in the presence of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice against any man, and do nothing out of partiality.
22 Utatelakoga omunu wonawona amabhoko bhwangu bhwangu. Wasiga okwiswasha muchibhibhi cho omunu undi. Jikwiile witunje omwene ubhe wekisi.
Never ordain any one hastily, nor take part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Utanywaga amanji genyele. Ukasiga amanji, unywega nomulamba mutoto kulwa injuno ya inda na amalwaye gawo aga bhuli mwanya.
Do not continue to drink nothing but water, but take a little wine for your stomach’s sake, and your frequent attacks of illness.
24 Ebhibhi bhya abhanu abhandi jili abhwelu na jimenyekene, jelabhileyo mundamu. Nawe ebhibhi ebhindi ebbhisoka inyuma.
Some men’s sins are notorious, and lead them straight on the way to condemnation; but others’ sins follow them up.
25 Nikwo kutyo ona, emilimu ejindi ejekisi ejimenyekana bhwangu, nawe nolwo ejindi jitakwiseleka.
So also noble deeds are conspicuous, and even if otherwise, they cannot be kept hidden.
