Timotheum I 5
1 seniorem ne increpaveris sed obsecra ut patrem iuvenes ut fratres
tvaṁ prācīnaṁ na bhartsaya kintu taṁ pitaramiva yūnaśca bhrātṛniva
2 anus ut matres iuvenculas ut sorores in omni castitate
vṛddhāḥ striyaśca mātṛniva yuvatīśca pūrṇaśucitvena bhaginīriva vinayasva|
3 viduas honora quae vere viduae sunt
aparaṁ satyavidhavāḥ sammanyasva|
4 si qua autem vidua filios aut nepotes habet discant primum domum suam regere et mutuam vicem reddere parentibus hoc enim acceptum est coram Deo
kasyāścid vidhavāyā yadi putrāḥ pautrā vā vidyante tarhi te prathamataḥ svīyaparijanān sevituṁ pitroḥ pratyupakarttuñca śikṣantāṁ yatastadeveśvarasya sākṣād uttamaṁ grāhyañca karmma|
5 quae autem vere vidua est et desolata speravit in Deum et instat obsecrationibus et orationibus nocte ac die
aparaṁ yā nārī satyavidhavā nāthahīnā cāsti sā īśvarasyāśraye tiṣṭhantī divāniśaṁ nivedanaprārthanābhyāṁ kālaṁ yāpayati|
6 nam quae in deliciis est vivens mortua est
kintu yā vidhavā sukhabhogāsaktā sā jīvatyapi mṛtā bhavati|
7 et hoc praecipe ut inreprehensibiles sint
ataeva tā yad aninditā bhaveyūstadartham etāni tvayā nidiśyantāṁ|
8 si quis autem suorum et maxime domesticorum curam non habet fidem negavit et est infideli deterior
yadi kaścit svajātīyān lokān viśeṣataḥ svīyaparijanān na pālayati tarhi sa viśvāsād bhraṣṭo 'pyadhamaśca bhavati|
9 vidua eligatur non minus sexaginta annorum quae fuerit unius viri uxor
vidhavāvarge yasyā gaṇanā bhavati tayā ṣaṣṭivatsarebhyo nyūnavayaskayā na bhavitavyaṁ; aparaṁ pūrvvam ekasvāmikā bhūtvā
10 in operibus bonis testimonium habens si filios educavit si hospitio recepit si sanctorum pedes lavit si tribulationem patientibus subministravit si omne opus bonum subsecuta est
sā yat śiśupoṣaṇenātithisevanena pavitralokānāṁ caraṇaprakṣālanena kliṣṭānām upakāreṇa sarvvavidhasatkarmmācaraṇena ca satkarmmakaraṇāt sukhyātiprāptā bhavet tadapyāvaśyakaṁ|
11 adulescentiores autem viduas devita cum enim luxuriatae fuerint in Christo nubere volunt
kintu yuvatī rvidhavā na gṛhāṇa yataḥ khrīṣṭasya vaiparītyena tāsāṁ darpe jāte tā vivāham icchanti|
12 habentes damnationem quia primam fidem irritam fecerunt
tasmācca pūrvvadharmmaṁ parityajya daṇḍanīyā bhavanti|
13 simul autem et otiosae discunt circumire domos non solum otiosae sed et verbosae et curiosae loquentes quae non oportet
anantaraṁ tā gṛhād gṛhaṁ paryyaṭantya ālasyaṁ śikṣante kevalamālasyaṁ nahi kintvanarthakālāpaṁ parādhikāracarccāñcāpi śikṣamāṇā anucitāni vākyāni bhāṣante|
14 volo ergo iuveniores nubere filios procreare matres familias esse nullam occasionem dare adversario maledicti gratia
ato mameccheyaṁ yuvatyo vidhavā vivāhaṁ kurvvatām apatyavatyo bhavantu gṛhakarmma kurvvatāñcetthaṁ vipakṣāya kimapi nindādvāraṁ na dadatu|
15 iam enim quaedam conversae sunt retro Satanan
yata itaḥ pūrvvam api kāścit śayatānasya paścādgāminyo jātāḥ|
16 si qua fidelis habet viduas subministret illis et non gravetur ecclesia ut his quae vere viduae sunt sufficiat
aparaṁ viśvāsinyā viśvāsino vā kasyāpi parivārāṇāṁ madhye yadi vidhavā vidyante tarhi sa tāḥ pratipālayatu tasmāt samitau bhāre 'nāropite satyavidhavānāṁ pratipālanaṁ karttuṁ tayā śakyate|
17 qui bene praesunt presbyteri duplici honore digni habeantur maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina
ye prāñcaḥ samitiṁ samyag adhitiṣṭhanti viśeṣata īśvaravākyenopadeśena ca ye yatnaṁ vidadhate te dviguṇasyādarasya yogyā mānyantāṁ|
18 dicit enim scriptura non infrenabis os bovi trituranti et dignus operarius mercede sua
yasmāt śāstre likhitamidamāste, tvaṁ śasyamarddakavṛṣasyāsyaṁ mā badhāneti, aparamapi kāryyakṛd vetanasya yogyo bhavatīti|
19 adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere nisi sub duobus et tribus testibus
dvau trīn vā sākṣiṇo vinā kasyācit prācīnasya viruddham abhiyogastvayā na gṛhyatāṁ|
20 peccantes coram omnibus argue ut et ceteri timorem habeant
aparaṁ ye pāpamācaranti tān sarvveṣāṁ samakṣaṁ bhartsayasva tenāpareṣāmapi bhīti rjaniṣyate|
21 testor coram Deo et Christo Iesu et electis angelis ut haec custodias sine praeiudicio nihil faciens in aliam partem declinando
aham īśvarasya prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya manonītadivyadūtānāñca gocare tvām idam ājñāpayāmi tvaṁ kasyāpyanurodhena kimapi na kurvvana vināpakṣapātam etāna vidhīn pālaya|
22 manus cito nemini inposueris neque communicaveris peccatis alienis te ipsum castum custodi
kasyāpi mūrddhi hastāparṇaṁ tvarayā mākārṣīḥ| parapāpānāñcāṁśī mā bhava| svaṁ śuciṁ rakṣa|
23 noli adhuc aquam bibere sed vino modico utere propter stomachum tuum et frequentes tuas infirmitates
aparaṁ tavodarapīḍāyāḥ punaḥ puna durbbalatāyāśca nimittaṁ kevalaṁ toyaṁ na pivan kiñcin madyaṁ piva|
24 quorundam hominum peccata manifesta sunt praecedentia ad iudicium quosdam autem et subsequuntur
keṣāñcit mānavānāṁ pāpāni vicārāt pūrvvaṁ keṣāñcit paścāt prakāśante|
25 similiter et facta bona manifesta sunt et quae aliter se habent abscondi non possunt
tathaiva satkarmmāṇyapi prakāśante tadanyathā sati pracchannāni sthātuṁ na śaknuvanti|
