1 U Timotheo 5
1 Ugajehudamira ulume umzee. Bali upele umwoyo neshe uyise waho. Ubhapele umwoyo asahala abheshilume neshe aje bhaholo bhaho.
Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,
2 Upele umwoyo abhashe ashikolo kama neshe anyine bhaho na abhashe alenduneshe ayilombo bhaho huhuwinza wonti.
the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters – with all purity.
3 Uubhaheshimu afwele bhala bhabhali bhafwele lyoli lyoli.
Show consideration for widows – I mean those who are really widowed.
4 Lelo nkeshele ufwele anabhana au namama ubhaleshe bhahwifunza abhonesye eheshima hwabhantu bha mnyumba yao bhebho uleshe bhabhasaidile aise bhabho. Aminza afwanaje ene nyinza hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
But, if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn to show proper regard for the members of their own family first, and to make some return to their parents; for that is pleasing in God’s sight.
5 Lelo ufwele uwelyoli lyoli yayola yalehwilwe mwene wope abheshele na pambo male hwa Ngolobhe. Esiku zwonti aputa nalabhe esala usiku na pasanya.
As for the woman who is really widowed and left quite alone, her hopes are fixed on God, and she devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.
6 Hata esho ufwele ula yakhala netuma afwiye lwapo mwomi.
But the life of a widow who is devoted to pleasure is a living death.
7 Na ulombelele ege amambo ili kwamba bhagajebhe bhahwiune.
Those are the points you should teach, so that there may be no call for your censure.
8 Eshi nkashile umuntu sabhalela ahoro bhakwe, tee bhala bhabhalimwao alaniwe na akhene ulyeteho na bhibhi ashile yasalinolyeteo.
Anyone who fails to provide for their own relatives, and especially for those under their own roof, has disowned the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Basi ushe gasimbisiweje abhe fwele abhaje namaha gasegaposhe sitini, abhanje fwele yali nolume umo.
A widow, when her name is added to the list, should not be less than sixty years old; she should have been a faithful wife,
10 Lazima abhanje amanyisye humatendo aminza abhanje abhalelile abhana bhakwe abhanje anepya hwanjenyi au abhanje abhasaidi aputi bhamwao, au ahwifumizwe humbombo yeyonti enyeza.
and be well spoken of for her kind actions. She should have brought up children, have shown hospitality to strangers, have washed the feet of her fellow Christians, have relieved those who were in distress, and devoted herself to every kind of good action.
11 Lelo hwabhala afwele alendu ukhane abhabheshe hudadi yefwele kwasababu nkabhakhatwe ne taama agebele bhahwanza ahwengwe, hwidala eli bhahwinjila matama agebele zidi ya Kristi bhahwanza ahwengwe.
But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry,
12 Hwidala eli bhahwinjila mhatia bhabudulanya hwifumye hwabho uhwelyoli.
and so they bring condemnation on themselves for having broken their previous promise.
13 Nantele bhahwiyinjizwa humazowea. Eye wolo abhahale bhazwogola khaya kwa khaya siyo aje bholo tu, bala antele bhabha bhasenkenyaji bhabhuhwinjilile abhale abhahale bhayanga amambo gasehwanziwa agayanje.
And not only that, but they learn to be idle as they go about from house to house. Nor are they merely idle, but they also become gossips and busybodies, and talk of what they ought not.
14 Eshi ane ehwanza abhashe alendu bhengwaje bhupapaje abhana, bhasimamilaje enyumba zwao ili bhagaje hupele ubhibhi enafasi ya tilonje kwa abhombe embibhi.
Therefore I advise young widows to marry, bear children, and attend to their homes, and so avoid giving the enemy an opportunity for scandal.
15 Kwa sababu bhamo bhao bhagulusi usetano.
There are some who have already left us, to follow Satan.
16 Nkashile ushe yayonti uwelyeteho ana fwele, basi awavwe ili eshibhanza shigaje alemelye ili libhasailadiaje bhala bhabahli bhafwele lyolilyoli.
Any Christian woman, who has relatives who are widows, ought to relieve them and not allow them to become a burden to the church, so that the church may relieve those widows who are really widowed.
17 Basi bhala agosi bhalongozwa shinza mubhaheshimu aje bhahwaziwa abaheshimu marahahinji hasa bhala bhabha hwishuguliswa amwanzywe izu elya Ngolobhe.
Those church elders who fill their office well should be held deserving of especial consideration, particularly those whose work lies in preaching and teaching.
18 Afwatanaje amasimbilo gayanga ugaje hufunje eng'ombe elo mu nalya eshalye ubhomba mbombo ahwanziwo ushala wakwe.”
The words of scripture are – “You should not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain.” and again – “The worker is worth their wages.”
19 Ugaje aposhe mashitaka hwagosi sipokua bhahweli ashahidi bhabhele au bhadatu.
Do not entertain a charge against an church elder, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses;
20 Ehulajizwa ubha nkhane hwitagalilo elyebhantu wonti ili abhanje bhasageye labda bhagayeta.
but rebuke offenders publicly, so that others may take warning.
21 Ehulujizwa kwa thati hwetagalila lya Ngolobhe, na hwitagalila ya Kristi uYesu, na bha malaika aleule aje uzitunze endajizwo ega bila asalulanye yoyonti na aije uganje abhombe ejambo lyolyonti apendele.
I charge you solemnly, before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels, to carry out these directions, unswayed by prejudice, never acting with partiality.
22 Ugaje hubheshele umuntu yoyonti okhono nanali ugaje ashiliki ibibhi zwa muntu uwe je uhwanziwa ahwilinde wewe mwenyewe ubhaje mwinza.
Never ordain anyone hastily, and take no part in the wrongdoing of others. Keep your life pure.
23 Sehwanziwa amwile amenzegene. Badala yakwe, unywelaje mvinyo hashe kwajili yevyanda nempongo yaho ye mara kwa mara.
Do not continue to drink water only, but take a little wine because of the weakness of your stomach, and your frequent ailments.
24 Ibibhi baadhi ezwa bhantu zibhoneha wene zibhatagalile hundongo lelo baadhi ya bibhi zwa bhantu bhamo zibhafwata.
There are some people whose sins are conspicuous and lead on to judgment, while there are others whose sins dog their steps.
25 Hwisalo shesho baadhi ya yembombo enyinza zihwelewe hwa pawelele lelo hata zimo sezwaifisiha.
In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
