१ तिमोथी 5
1 वृद्धमानिसलाई नहाप्काऊ । बरू आफ्नै बाबुलाई झैँ सम्झाऊ । जवानहरूलाई आफ्नै भाइझैँ सम्झाऊ ।
Rebuke not an elder sharply, but exhort [him] as a father, younger [men] as brethren,
2 वृद्ध स्त्रीहरूलाई आमालाई झैँ र जवान स्त्रीहरूलाई सारा शुद्धतामा दिदीबहिनीलाई झैँ सम्झाऊ ।
elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
3 जो साँचो विधवाहरू हुन् तिनीहरूको आदर गर ।
Honour widows who are really widows;
4 तर यदि कुनै विधवाको छोराछोरी वा नातिनातिनीहरू छन् भने तिनीहरूको घरानामा नै पहिला आदर देखाउन सिकून । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आमाबाबुहरूको ऋण चुकाऊन्, किनभने यो चाहिँ परमेश्वरलाई खुसी तुल्याउने कुरा हो ।
but if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to [their] parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 तर वास्तविक विधवा एक्लै छोडिन्छन् । तिनको आत्मा भरोसा परमेश्वरमा नै हुन्छ । तिेनी रातदिन बिन्ती र प्रार्थनामा रहन्छिन् ।
Now she who [is] a widow indeed, and is left alone, has put [her] hope in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 तैपनि मोजमस्तीको लागि जिउने स्त्री जीउदै मरेकी जस्तै हुन्छिन ।
But she that lives in habits of self-indulgence is dead [while] living.
7 र यी कुराहरूको प्रचार गर ताकि तिनीहरू निन्दारहित होऊन् ।
And these things enjoin, that they may be irreproachable.
8 तर यदि कसैले आफ्ना नातेदारहरू विशेषगरी आफ्नै घरानाहरूको लागि जुटाउदैन भने उसले विश्वासलाई इन्कार गरेको हुन्छ र एउटा विश्वास नगर्ने भन्दा पनि खराब हुन्छ ।
But if any one does not provide for his own, and specially for those of [his] house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbeliever.
9 साठी वर्ष भन्दा कम उमेर नभएका एउटै पतिको पत्नी भएर बसेकी स्त्रीलाई मात्र विधवाको सूचीमा राख्नु ।
Let a widow be put upon the list, being of not less than sixty years, [having been] wife of one man,
10 तिनी असल कामहरूले चिनिएको हुनुपर्छ चाहे तिनले छोराछोरीहरूको वास्ता गरेकी हुन् वा परदेशीहरूको सत्कार गरेकी हुन्, वा विश्वासीहरूका खुट्टा धोएकी हुन् वा जुनसुकै काममा समर्पित भएकी हुन् ।
borne witness to in good works, if she have brought up children, if she have exercised hospitality, if she have washed saints' feet, if she have imparted relief to the distressed, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 तर जवान बिधवाहरुलाई सूचीमा लेख्न इन्कार गर । किनभने जब तिनीहरूलाई ख्रीष्ट विरूद्ध शारीरिक अभिलाषाको अघि हार खान्छन्, तिनीहरूले विवाह गर्ने इच्छा गर्छन् ।
But younger widows decline; for when they grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
12 यसरी तिनीहरूले पहिलेको प्रतिबद्धता तोडेर दोषको वशमा पर्छन् ।
being guilty, because they have cast off their first faith.
13 तिनीहरू अल्छी गर्ने पनि हुन्छन् । तिनीहरू अल्छी गर्ने मात्र होइन तर कुरौटे र अर्काको काममा हस्तक्षेप गर्ने पनि बन्छन् । तिनीहरूल भन्न नहुने कुरा भन्छन् ।
And, at the same time, they learn also [to be] idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming.
14 यसकारण म चाहन्छु जवान स्त्रीहरूले हाम्रा विरोधीहरूलाई हामीले खराबी गरेकोमा दोष लगाउने मौका नदिनको लागि विवाह गरून्, बालबच्चा जन्माउन, घरवार चलाऊन् ।
I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach.
15 किनभने कोही त अघि नै शैतानको पछि लागिसकेका छन् ।
For already some have turned aside after Satan.
16 यदि कोही विश्वासी स्त्रीसँग बिधवाहरू छन् भने तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गरून्, ताकि मण्डलीलाई बोझ नहोस्, ताकि यसले वास्तविक बिधुवाहरूको सहायता गर्न सकोस् ।
If any believing man or woman have widows, let them impart relief to them, and let not the assembly be charged, that it may impart relief to those [that are] widows indeed.
17 असल तरिकाले प्रशासन चलाउने एल्डरहरू दोब्बर आदरकायोग्य ठानिऊन् ।
Let the elders who take the lead [among the saints] well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and teaching;
18 किनभने पवित्रशास्त्र भन्छ, “तिमीहरूले दाँइ गर्दै गरेको गोरुको मुखमा मोहोलो नलगाऔ” र “कामदार उसको ज्यालाको योग्य हुन्छ ।”
for the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman [is] worthy of his hire.
19 दुई वा तीन जना साक्षीहरू बिना एउटा एल्डरको विरूद्ध लगाइएको आरोप स्वीकार नगर ।
Against an elder receive not an accusation unless where there are two or three witnesses.
20 पापीहरूलाई सबैको सामु सुधार गर ताकि बाकी रहेकाहरू पनि डराऊन् ।
Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear.
21 परमेश्वरको, ख्रीष्ट येशूको र चुनिएको स्वर्गदूतहरूको सामु म तिमीलाई निष्ठापूर्वक आज्ञा दिन्छु कि यी नियमहरू बिना भेदभाव पालना गर र तिमीले कुनै पनि कुरामा पक्षपात नगर ।
I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour.
22 कसैमाथि पनि हात राख्न हतार नगर । अरूको पापमा सहभागी नहोऊ । तिमीले आफैँलाई पवित्र राख्नु पर्छ ।
Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' sins. Keep thyself pure.
23 तिमीले पानी मात्र नपिउनू बरू त्यसको सट्टा पेट र तिम्रो घरिघरि हुने बिमारको निम्ति थोरै दाखमद्य खाने गर ।
Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.
24 केही मानिसहरूका पापहरू स्पष्ट देखिने हुन्छन् र ती पापहरू तिनीहरू अघि नै न्यायमा जान्छन् । तर केही पापहरू पछि मात्र जान्छन् ।
Of some men the sins are manifest beforehand, going before to judgment, and some also they follow after.
25 त्यसैगरी केही असल कामहरू स्पष्ट हुन्छन्, तर अरूहरू पनि लुकाउन सकिन्नन् ।
In like manner good works also are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
