1 Timoteo 5
1 Man ko taj kachꞌabꞌej ri e nimaq taq winaq, xane chaya unoꞌj, jer kabꞌan atat che.
An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 Jer chaꞌwila anan ri e nimaq taq chuchuibꞌ, ri akꞌal taq alitomabꞌ jer chaꞌwila awanabꞌ, nim chaꞌwilaꞌ rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌojil.
Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
3 Utz chabꞌana che kilik ri e malkaꞌn taq ixoqibꞌ ri qas e tzaqtal kanoq.
Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
4 We kꞌu kꞌo jun malkaꞌn ri e kꞌo ral o e kꞌo riꞌ taq umam, nabꞌe ketaꞌmaj ri rajawaxik kakibꞌan kukꞌ taq ri e winaq ri e kꞌo pa kachoch, ri e kitat kinan, xuqujeꞌ ri e kimam, rumal are waꞌ kaqaj cho ri Dios.
But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
5 Ri malkaꞌn ixoq ri tzaqtal kanoq, kakubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ are karilij ubꞌanik chꞌawem xuqujeꞌ kuta tobꞌanik che ri Dios.
But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 Are kꞌu ri malkaꞌn ixoq ri xaq are karilij ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx, xkam riꞌ pune kꞌaslik kabꞌantajik.
For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
7 Chachilibꞌej chike are kakibꞌan we jastaq riꞌ, rech maj mak kariqitaj chike.
And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Ri man kuya ta ri jastaq ri kajawataj chike ri winaq ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa ri rachoch, ukꞌekꞌem ri ukojobꞌal xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj ajmak na choch ri winaq ri man kojonel taj.
But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Chikixoꞌl ri e malkaꞌn taq ixoqibꞌ xwi yaꞌtalik kakꞌojiꞌ ri ixoq ri oxkꞌal chik ujunabꞌ ri qas xa jun rachajil xkꞌojiꞌk,
Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
10 xuqujeꞌ etaꞌmatal uwach rumal ri utz laj taq chak ubꞌanom, jas ta ne ri kikꞌiyisaxik ri ral, yoꞌj kiwa xuqujeꞌ kachoch nikꞌaj winaq chik, chꞌajoj kaqan ri e kojonelabꞌ, yoꞌj tobꞌanik chike ri kakiriq kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan ri utzilal pa ronojel qꞌotaj.
Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 Man kaya ta chikixoꞌl ri malkaꞌnibꞌ ri akꞌal taq ixoqibꞌ malkaꞌn, rumal cher are keqꞌat bꞌik che ri Cristo rumal ri urayibꞌal kikꞌuꞌx kakaj kekꞌuliꞌ chi na.
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
12 Jeriꞌ kuꞌx aꞌjmakibꞌ, man kakibꞌan ta ri xkibꞌij chi kakibꞌano.
Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
13 Kꞌa te riꞌ kakꞌaman chike xaq e saqꞌoribꞌ, kewaꞌkatilobꞌ cho taq ri ja. Man xaq xwi ta kꞌut kuꞌx saqꞌoribꞌ, xane e tzijtaꞌl, xuqujeꞌ kakitzijoj taq ri man yaꞌtal ta chike.
And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 Rumal kꞌu waꞌ keꞌntaqchiꞌj ri akꞌal taq ixoqibꞌ ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ, rech kekꞌuliꞌk xuqujeꞌ kekꞌojiꞌ kal, utz kaꞌna chi rilik ri uwo kachoch, makiya bꞌe che ri yoqꞌbꞌal rech ri kꞌulel.
I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
15 Kinbꞌij waꞌ rumal cher e kꞌo jujun ri xkijelechꞌuj kan ri kibꞌe chutereneꞌxik ri Itzel.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 We kꞌo jun kojonel ri e kꞌo malkaꞌnibꞌ pa rachoch, rajawaxik kuꞌtoꞌo rech man e jun eqaꞌn taj che ri komontyox, jeriꞌ ri komontyox kakwinik keꞌril ri e malkaꞌnibꞌ ri e tzaqtal kanoq.
If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.
17 Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ri utz kakibꞌan che ri jastaq pa ri komontyox, kamul yaꞌtal kiqꞌij, sibꞌalaj e kꞌo na ri kakitzijoj ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri kakiya kꞌutuꞌn.
Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
18 Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Makoj chim puꞌwiꞌ utzaꞌm ri wakax are tajin kuyaqꞌ ri tiriko, rumal cher ri ajchak taqal che chi katojik.
For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Maya bꞌe xaq katzujux jun kꞌamal bꞌe, we man e kꞌo kebꞌ o oxibꞌ winaq ri xiꞌlowik.
Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 Chaꞌyaja chikiwach konojel ri winaq rech ri komontyox ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe ri kemakunik rech kux jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj chikiwach konojel.
Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
21 Qas cho ri Dios katintaqchiꞌj, xuqujeꞌ chikiwach ri Jesús rachiꞌl ri angelibꞌ ri e chaꞌtalik, chatereneꞌj we kinbꞌij chawe, man kaya ta bꞌe xaq kakꞌutwachin apanoq jastaq chawach, xuqujeꞌ man xaq ta kꞌyaqal winaq kaꞌchaꞌo.
I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.
22 Qas chachomaj na are kaya aqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri winaq ri kawaj kok che kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri komontyox, rech man kaꞌwachiꞌlaj ta pa ri kimak. Qas chatkꞌol pa chꞌajchꞌojil.
Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.
23 Man xwi ta katij jaꞌ, chatija jubꞌiqꞌ vino, rumal chi kꞌax ri apam xuqujeꞌ amaqꞌel tajin katyawajik.
Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
24 Ri kimak e jujun kaqꞌalajinik pune majaꞌ kasol rij. Are kꞌu ri kimak nikꞌaj kꞌa te ketaꞌmatajik ikꞌowinaq chi ri qꞌotaj.
Some men’s sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
25 Je xuqujeꞌ ri utz laj taq chak, pune aꞌwatalik xa kꞌu we aninaq o kꞌamaꞌtam kakikꞌut wi na kibꞌ keqꞌalajin wi na.
In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
