१ तिमोथी 5
1 वृद्धमानिसलाई नहाप्काऊ । बरू आफ्नै बाबुलाई झैँ सम्झाऊ । जवानहरूलाई आफ्नै भाइझैँ सम्झाऊ ।
Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as you would to a father. Speak to younger men as brothers,
2 वृद्ध स्त्रीहरूलाई आमालाई झैँ र जवान स्त्रीहरूलाई सारा शुद्धतामा दिदीबहिनीलाई झैँ सम्झाऊ ।
older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, in all purity.
3 जो साँचो विधवाहरू हुन् तिनीहरूको आदर गर ।
Honor widows who are truly 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 has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to show godliness toward their own household and to make some repayment 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 a woman who is truly a widow and left all alone has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her supplications and prayers.
6 तैपनि मोजमस्तीको लागि जिउने स्त्री जीउदै मरेकी जस्तै हुन्छिन ।
But she who lives in self-indulgence is dead even while she lives.
7 र यी कुराहरूको प्रचार गर ताकि तिनीहरू निन्दारहित होऊन् ।
Give these commands as well, so that no one will be open to blame.
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 anyone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 साठी वर्ष भन्दा कम उमेर नभएका एउटै पतिको पत्नी भएर बसेकी स्त्रीलाई मात्र विधवाको सूचीमा राख्नु ।
A widow may be put on the list to receive support if she is at least sixty years old, has been the wife of one husband,
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 ।
and has a reputation for good works, that is, if she has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to 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 reject younger widows, for when their sensual desires draw them away from Christ, they wish to marry,
12 यसरी तिनीहरूले पहिलेको प्रतिबद्धता तोडेर दोषको वशमा पर्छन् ।
thus bringing judgment on themselves because they have broken their previous pledge.
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 ।
At the same time, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house. And they are not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they should not say.
14 यसकारण म चाहन्छु जवान स्त्रीहरूले हाम्रा विरोधीहरूलाई हामीले खराबी गरेकोमा दोष लगाउने मौका नदिनको लागि विवाह गरून्, बालबच्चा जन्माउन, घरवार चलाऊन् ।
So I advise the younger widows to marry, bear children, and manage their households, so as to give the adversary no opportunity to revile us.
15 किनभने कोही त अघि नै शैतानको पछि लागिसकेका छन् ।
For some have already turned away to follow 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 has relatives who are widows, they must help them; the church should not be burdened, so that it may help those who are truly widows.
17 असल तरिकाले प्रशासन चलाउने एल्डरहरू दोब्बर आदरकायोग्य ठानिऊन् ।
Elders who lead well should be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.
18 किनभने पवित्रशास्त्र भन्छ, “तिमीहरूले दाँइ गर्दै गरेको गोरुको मुखमा मोहोलो नलगाऔ” र “कामदार उसको ज्यालाको योग्य हुन्छ ।”
For the Scripture says, “Yoʋ shall not muzzle an ox while it is threshing,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
19 दुई वा तीन जना साक्षीहरू बिना एउटा एल्डरको विरूद्ध लगाइएको आरोप स्वीकार नगर ।
Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses.
20 पापीहरूलाई सबैको सामु सुधार गर ताकि बाकी रहेकाहरू पनि डराऊन् ।
As for those who sin, reprove them in the presence of all, so that others will be afraid to follow their example.
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 solemnly charge yoʋ before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the chosen angels to observe these things without partiality, doing nothing out of favoritism.
22 कसैमाथि पनि हात राख्न हतार नगर । अरूको पापमा सहभागी नहोऊ । तिमीले आफैँलाई पवित्र राख्नु पर्छ ।
Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, and do not take part in the sins of others; keep yoʋrself pure.
23 तिमीले पानी मात्र नपिउनू बरू त्यसको सट्टा पेट र तिम्रो घरिघरि हुने बिमारको निम्ति थोरै दाखमद्य खाने गर ।
(No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of yoʋr stomach and yoʋr frequent illnesses.)
24 केही मानिसहरूका पापहरू स्पष्ट देखिने हुन्छन् र ती पापहरू तिनीहरू अघि नै न्यायमा जान्छन् । तर केही पापहरू पछि मात्र जान्छन् ।
The sins of some are obvious, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others trail along behind.
25 त्यसैगरी केही असल कामहरू स्पष्ट हुन्छन्, तर अरूहरू पनि लुकाउन सकिन्नन् ।
In the same way, good works are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden.
