1 Timoty 5
1 Ko mitrevoke androanavy, fa ahitio hoe rae naho o gaon-dahio hoe rahalahy,
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 o rakembao hoe rene, o somondrarao hoe rahavave, ami’ty hakanitso’e do’e.
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Iasio o ramavoiñeo, o toe vantotseo.
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 Aa naho aman’ anake ndra afe ty vantotse, le soa re te hioke he ty hitoloñe ami’ty lilim-pitalahoañe añ’anjomba’e ao, hañavaha’e ty nisongoeñe aman-droae’e, fa izay ty non’ Añahare am-pivazohoa’e.
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5 Fa mitamà an’ Andrianañahare ka i toe vantotsey i nengañe ho vahiniy, ie mitolom-piloloke naho mihalaly handro an-kaleñe;
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 fe mikoromake o mierañerañe añ’ arimoeñeo ndra t’ie veloñe.
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 Afantoho ka irezay soa tsy hinjeañe.
And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Aa naho eo ty tsy mamahañe o azeo, àntsake o keleia’eo, le fa nifary i fatokisañey vaho lombolombo’ ty tsi-miato.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Ampivolilieñe ho vantotse ze ambone’ ty enem-polo taoñe, migahiñe amy tañanjomba’e,
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 mbore aman’ engeñe amo tolon-draha soa’eo, ie fa nahabey anake, naho fa nampiantraño ambahiny, naho fa nanasa ty fandia’ o noro’eo, naho fa nanaha o misotrio, vaho fa nahimbam-pañorike ty fitoloñan-tsoa.
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 Fe liero ty vantotse tora’e, hera ho likoare’ ty hadraom-bata’e ty fiatoa’e amy Norizañey, vaho hisalala hanambaly;
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12 mamà-batañe iereo amy te napoke i fatokisa’ iareo valoha’ey.
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13 Ie amy zay, mizatse mikopiso, mitsatsà-traño; le tsy vaho mihànitse avao fa toe matsindrañe naho mitolom-bolañe; mivolan-draha tsy mañeva.
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 Aa le osiheko hangala-baly o vantotse tora’eo, hiterake, hañalahala anjomba, soa tsy omen-dalañe i rafelahiy hañìnje.
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 Toe fa nitsile nanonjohy i mpañìnjey o ila’eo.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 Aa naho aman-dongo vantotse ty rakemba mpiato, soa re te atrafe’e, le tsy i Fivoriy ty hiloetse ama’e, fa o toe vantotseo ro fahana’e.
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the Assembly be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17 Mañeva asiñe indroe o androanavy mifehe soao, àntsake o mpifanehake amo tsarao naho amo fañòhañeoo.
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18 Fa hoe i Sokitse Masiñey: Ko vihine’o ty vavan’añombe mandisañe, naho, Mañeva ty rima’e ty mpièke.
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the grain. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Ko mañaon-tsisý amy t’indaty bey naho tsy telo ndra roe ty valolombeloñe.
Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Endaho aolo’ i màroy ty mitolom-pandilatse, hihembaña’ o ila’eo.
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21 Afantoko añatrefan’ Añahare naho Iesoà Norizañey vaho o anjely jinoboñeo irehe ty hañambeñe irezay, le ko mirihy, ko mañisokisoke aman-dra inoñ’ inoñe.
I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Ko meke hanampe fitàñe ama’ ondaty, vaho ko mitraoke ami’ty hatsivokara’ o ila’eo; vontitiro ty halio-tahi’o.
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
23 Ko minon-drano avao fa ano divay kede ty ami’ty fisafoa’o naho o fangonora’oo.
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
24 Malange ty hakeo’ ondaty ila’e ie miaolo iareo mb’an-jaka mb’eo, fe mañorike afara ty ila’e.
Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25 Midodea ka o sata soao, fe ndra tsy izay, tsy hay aetake avao.
Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
