1 Timotheo 5
1 Wasiga okulundumila omukaruka. Tali umusimbagilishe omwoyo kuti ni esomwana. Nusimbagilishe omwoyo abhasigaji kuti ni bhamula bhanyu.
Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 Usimbagilishe omwoyo abhagasi abhakokolo kuti nibha nyokomwana, na abhagasi bhanu bhachali kwikula bhabhe kuti bhayala bhanyu kwisima lyona.
the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Nuyane echibhalo abhagasi abhafwilwa, bhanu bhafwiliwe chimali mali.
Honor widows who are widows indeed.
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 them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
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 her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Nolwo jili kutyo, omugasi unu ekaye kwo okunyenyega afuye, nolwo kutyo kalibhata ali muwanga.
But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Mbe ulashe amagambo ganu koleleki abhanu bhasiga okwikujula.
Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
8 Tali omunu akabhula okusakila abhaili bhaye, muno muno abhaika owaye, omunu oyo alemele elikilisha na ni mubhibhi okukila unu atekilisishe.
But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Mbe omugasi unu afwiliwe omulume, andikwe muchitabho cha abhasigwa akakingya myaka makumi mukaga, na aliga atwalibhwe na mulume umwi.
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
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.
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 Nawe abhagasi abhafwila bhanu bhachalimo obhuyalakaji, utabhandika mulwandiko lwa abhagasi abhafwila. Kulwokubha bhakanambaalila ejo omubhili okutasikana na Kristo, nibhenda okutwalwa.
But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 Kunjila eyo abhengila muntambala, okubha abhatambuka okwisosha kwebhwe okwa kubhwambilo.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
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.
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 Kulwejo anye enenda abhagasi bhanu bhachali bhatwalwe, bhebhule abhana, bhombake emisi jebhwe, koleleki chitayana omusoko omwanya ogwo okuchitonganya chikakola ebhibhi.
I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
15 Kulwokubha abhandi bhaindukiye ku Syetani.
For already some have turned away after Satan.
16 Labha omugasi wona wona omwikilisha ekaye na abhagasi abhafwilwa, mbe nabhasakile, koleleki likanisa lyasiga okukubhwa, koleleki litule okusakila abhasigwa chimwi chimwi.
If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
17 Mbe abhakaluka bhanu abhatangasha kisi mubhayane echibhalo kwiya kabhili, muno muno bhanu abhakola emilimu jo okwiyigisha Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in 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 shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
19 Wasiga okulamila intongana yo omukaluka ukasanga bhatabhao bhamasaidi bhabhili hamo bhafu.
Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 Nugonye bhanu abhakola ebhibhibhi imbele ya abhejabho koleleki bhanu bhachali okukola kutyo amo bhobhaye.
Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
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 command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Utatelakoga omunu wonawona amabhoko bhwangu bhwangu. Wasiga okwiswasha muchibhibhi cho omunu undi. Jikwiile witunje omwene ubhe wekisi.
Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23 Utanywaga amanji genyele. Ukasiga amanji, unywega nomulamba mutoto kulwa injuno ya inda na amalwaye gawo aga bhuli mwanya.
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 Ebhibhi bhya abhanu abhandi jili abhwelu na jimenyekene, jelabhileyo mundamu. Nawe ebhibhi ebhindi ebbhisoka inyuma.
Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
25 Nikwo kutyo ona, emilimu ejindi ejekisi ejimenyekana bhwangu, nawe nolwo ejindi jitakwiseleka.
In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
