1 Timotewu 5
1 Nagumkalipira muntu mzewi, kumbiti kumgambiri mpolimpoli gambira Tati gwaku. Muwatenderi wantemba gambira walongu waku,
Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 wadala wazewi guwagambiri handa mawu gwaku, na wahinga gambira muhasha gwaku, mumakaliru gaherepa.
the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Guwapanani ligoya wakenja yawehera ntangiru yoseri.
Honour widows who are widows indeed.
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, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family and to repay 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 she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Kumbiti mkenja yakasinda kulilewelera muvitwatira vya kulinemeziya nentu ayu gambira kahowa, tembera kangali mkomu.
But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Guwapanani viraa Malagaliru aga, su wantu wamonga nawawawona watenda gaherepa ndiri.
Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
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 doesn’t provide for his own, and especially 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,
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
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.
being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the holy ones’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed 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 refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Messiah, they desire to marry,
12 na hawawoneki wanalikosa kwa kuleka lipatanu lyawu lya kwanja.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first 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.
Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.
14 Su nfira wakenja wahinga wayugwi, wiwuli wana na kulolera weri numba zyawu su wankondu wetu nawapata lupenyu vya kulonga vitwatira vikondola kwa twenga.
I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
15 Toziya wakenja wamonga waleka njira ya Mlungu na kumgendera Shetani.
For already some have turned away after 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 man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
17 Wazewi wawalongoziya wantu uweri wafiruwa wanki shibena mgongu nentu, ndo kwa walii yawatenda lihengu kwa gangamala mukubwera na kufunda.
Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and in 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, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The labourer is worthy of his wages.”
19 Nagujimira kwanka mayangiru ga wazewi wawalongoziya mshipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pawahera wakapitawu wawili ama watatu.
Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20 Walii yawatenda vidoda guwabeliziyi paweru, su wamonga wapati kutira.
Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21 Nukulagalira palongolu pa Mlungu na pa Kristu Yesu na palongolu pa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasyagulwa, gugakoli malagaliru aga pota kubagula.
I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Nagutenda kanongola kumtulira muntu mawoku toziya ya lihengu lya kumtendera Mtuwa. Pagutenda hangu haguweri pamuhera na vidoda vyakuwi. Gulituli muuherepa.
Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23 Nagulanda mashi hera, kumbiti gulandi divayi ndidini, toziya ya mtima gwaku, toziya gulwala mala kwa mala.
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 Vidoda vya wantu wamonga viwoneka pota kufifa, pamberi pawawajega kuutoza, kumbiti vidoda vya wamonga vimanika pawasoka mkutoza.
Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgement, and some also follow later.
25 Ntambu iraa hayi, mafiliru gaherepa gawoneka paweru, na ata galii yagawoneka ndiri paweru gaweza ndiri kwendeleya kufifwa.
In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
