1 Timotewu 5
1 Nagumkalipira muntu mzewi, kumbiti kumgambiri mpolimpoli gambira Tati gwaku. Muwatenderi wantemba gambira walongu waku,
Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as you would to a father. Speak to younger men as brothers,
2 wadala wazewi guwagambiri handa mawu gwaku, na wahinga gambira muhasha gwaku, mumakaliru gaherepa.
older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, in all purity.
3 Guwapanani ligoya wakenja yawehera ntangiru yoseri.
Honor widows who are truly widows.
4 Kumbiti mkenja yakaweriti na wana ama wazukulu, womberi wafiruwa kwanja kulifunda kutenda shawafiruwa yawamjimira Mlungu kwa kaya zyawu weni na hangu wawatenderi maheri walera wawu na wambuyi wawu gambira galii gawawatendiriti womberi kwanja, toziya shitwatira ashi shiherepa palongolu pa Mlungu.
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 Mdala mkenja yakahera muntu gwa kumtanga nakaka, kamtulira Mlungu litumbiru lyakuwi kusali na kumluwa Mlungu kumtanga pashiru na paliwala.
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 Kumbiti mkenja yakasinda kulilewelera muvitwatira vya kulinemeziya nentu ayu gambira kahowa, tembera kangali mkomu.
But she who lives in self-indulgence is dead even while she lives.
7 Guwapanani viraa Malagaliru aga, su wantu wamonga nawawawona watenda gaherepa ndiri.
Give these commands as well, so that no one will be open to blame.
8 Kumbiti handa muntu kawalolera ndiri walongu wakuwi, ndo walii wa ukaya kwakuwi, su muntu ayu kayilema njimiru, na kadoda nentu kuliku muntu yakajimira ndiri.
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 Nagumwongelera mkenja yoseri yakenifiki vinja malongu sita nawamwingiziya muwalangwa ya wakenja. Kayi kiweriti kayugwa mala yimu hera,
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 na kaweri na zyuma ziherepa mumakaliru, yakawaleriti wana wakuwi weri, yakawashemiriti wahenga ukaya kwakuwi, kawanaviyiti magulu wantu wa Mlungu na kawatangiti wantu wana ntabiku na yakalilaviyiti kutenda vitwatira viherepa vivuwa.
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 Kumbiti naguwalembisiya wakenja wahinga toziya handa lumatamata lwawu lwa nshimba paluwera livuwa na makakala kuliku kulilaviya kwawu kwa Kristu, hawafiri wawayugi kayi,
But reject younger widows, for when their sensual desires draw them away from Christ, they wish to marry,
12 na hawawoneki wanalikosa kwa kuleka lipatanu lyawu lya kwanja.
thus bringing judgment on themselves because they have broken their previous pledge.
13 Wakenja gambira awa wanja kuwera waleri pawayerayera numba na numba, shashidoda nentu ndo shawanja kuwatakula wantu makondola, na kuliyingiziya muvitwatira vya wantu wamonga, agawu pawalonga vitwatira vyangali kufiriziwa kulonga.
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 Su nfira wakenja wahinga wayugwi, wiwuli wana na kulolera weri numba zyawu su wankondu wetu nawapata lupenyu vya kulonga vitwatira vikondola kwa twenga.
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 Toziya wakenja wamonga waleka njira ya Mlungu na kumgendera Shetani.
For some have already turned away to follow Satan.
16 Kumbiti handa mawu yoseri Mkristu kana walongu weni ndo wakenja yawehera utanga nakaka, yomberi kafiruwa kuwatanga toziya nakashilekera shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu lihengu ali lya kuwatanga, su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiwaloleri walii yawawera wakenja wahera utanga nakaka.
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 Wazewi wawalongoziya wantu uweri wafiruwa wanki shibena mgongu nentu, ndo kwa walii yawatenda lihengu kwa gangamala mukubwera na kufunda.
Elders who lead well should be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.
18 Toziya Malembu Mananagala ngalonga. “Nagumtawa ng'ombi mlomu pakafikisiya mbunji,” Na kayi “Mtenda lihengu kafiruwa kwanka shibena mgongu shakuwi.”
For the Scripture says, “Yoʋ shall not muzzle an ox while it is threshing,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
19 Nagujimira kwanka mayangiru ga wazewi wawalongoziya mshipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pawahera wakapitawu wawili ama watatu.
Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses.
20 Walii yawatenda vidoda guwabeliziyi paweru, su wamonga wapati kutira.
As for those who sin, reprove them in the presence of all, so that others will be afraid to follow their example.
21 Nukulagalira palongolu pa Mlungu na pa Kristu Yesu na palongolu pa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasyagulwa, gugakoli malagaliru aga pota kubagula.
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 Nagutenda kanongola kumtulira muntu mawoku toziya ya lihengu lya kumtendera Mtuwa. Pagutenda hangu haguweri pamuhera na vidoda vyakuwi. Gulituli muuherepa.
Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, and do not take part in the sins of others; keep yoʋrself pure.
23 Nagulanda mashi hera, kumbiti gulandi divayi ndidini, toziya ya mtima gwaku, toziya gulwala mala kwa mala.
(No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of yoʋr stomach and yoʋr frequent illnesses.)
24 Vidoda vya wantu wamonga viwoneka pota kufifa, pamberi pawawajega kuutoza, kumbiti vidoda vya wamonga vimanika pawasoka mkutoza.
The sins of some are obvious, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others trail along behind.
25 Ntambu iraa hayi, mafiliru gaherepa gawoneka paweru, na ata galii yagawoneka ndiri paweru gaweza ndiri kwendeleya kufifwa.
In the same way, good works are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden.
