Timotheo I 5
1 O se ka wa gakalela motho yo o godileng, mme o mo kope ka maitseo fela jaaka fa e ka bo e le rrago. Buisa makau fela jaaka bo mogoloo ba o ba ratang thata.
Ungamkhalimeli omdala, kodwa meluleke njengoyihlo; abatsha njengabafowenu;
2 O tseye basadi ba ba godileng jaaka bommago, le basetsana jaaka bokgaitsadiyo, o akanye megopolo e e itshekileng fela ka bone.
abesifazana abadala njengonyoko; abesifazana abatsha njengabodadewenu, ekuhlambulukeni konke.
3 Phuthego e tshwanetse go tlhokomela ka lorato basadi ba batlholagadi fa ba sena ope yo o ka ba thusang.
Hlonipha abafelokazi abangabafelokazi isibili.
4 Mme fa ba na le bana kgotsa ditlogolwana, ba ke bone ba ba tshwanetseng go ba tlhokomela, gonne tshiamo e tshwanetse go simologa kwa lwapeng, go thusa batsadi ba ba tlhokang. Se ke selo se se itumedisang Modimo thata.
Kodwa uba umfelokazi othile elabantwana loba abazukulu, kabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha indlu yakwabo, kabenanise umkhondo kubazali; ngoba lokhu kuhle kuyemukeleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
5 Phuthego e tshwanetse go tlhokomela batlholagadi ba ba humanegileng ba bile ba le bosi mo lefatsheng, fa ba lebeletse thuso mo Modimong, ba bile ba senya nako e ntsi mo thapelong;
Lowo-ke ongumfelokazi isibili osele yedwa uthembele kuNkulunkulu, uhlala ekunxuseni lemikhulekweni ebusuku lemini.
6 mme e seng fa ba senya nako ya bone mo ditshebong, ba batla dikgatlhego tsa senama, ba onatsa mewa ya bone.
Kanti lowo ozinikela ekuzithokoziseni, ufile ephila.
7 Se e tshwanetse go nna molao wa phuthego ya gago gore Bakeresete ba tle ba itse ba bo ba dire se se molemo.
Laya-ke ngalezizinto, ukuze bangasoleki.
8 Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o se kitlang a tlhokomela ba gagabo fa ba tlhoka thuso, bogolo thata ba ntlo ya gagwe, ga a na tshwanelo ya go ipitsa Mokeresete. Motho yo o ntseng jalo o maswe go feta moheitane.
Kodwa uba umuntu engondli abakibo, ikakhulu abendlu yakhe, uluphikile ukholo, futhi mubi kulongakholwayo.
9 Motlholagadi yo o batlang go nna mongwe wa badiri ba phuthego ba ba faphegileng o tshwanetse bogolo a bo a na le dingwaga di le masome a marataro mme a kile a nyalwa gangwe fela.
Kangabalwa umfelokazi ongaphansi kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, umfazi owake wenda endodeni kanye,
10 O tshwanetse go kaiwa ka tshiamo ke mongwe le mongwe ka ntlha ya tshiamo e o e dirileng. A o goditsitse bana ba gagwe sentle? A o ne a le tshiamo mo baeting le mo Bakereseteng ba bangwe? A o ipaakanyeditse go supa tshiamo ya gagwe nako tsotlhe?
onconywa ngemisebenzi emihle, uba ondle abantwana, uba engenise izihambi, uba egezise inyawo zabangcwele, uba esize abahluphekayo, uba ekhuthalele wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
11 Mme batlholagadi ba basha ga ba a tshwanela go nna maloko a setlhopha se se faphegileng se, ka gore, morago ga lobakanyana ba ka tlhokomologa maikano a bone mo go Keresete mme ba nyalwa gape.
Kodwa abafelokazi abatsha ubale; ngoba nxa sebelenkanuko ezimelana loKristu, bafuna ukwenda;
12 Mme ba tlaa bonwa molato ka ntlha ya go senya maikano a bone a ntlha.
balokulahlwa, ngoba bachithile ukholo lwabo lokuqala.
13 Gape, ba ka nna ba nna ditshwakga ba senya nako ya bone mo go tsamayeng ba seba mo malwapeng ka go tlhatlologana, ba tsena mo ditirong tsa batho ba bangwe.
Futhi-ke ngesikhathi esifananayo bafunda ukuvilapha bezula lezindlu, futhi bengavilaphi kuphela, kodwa babuye bahlebe bengena kokungeyisikho okwabo, bekhuluma okungafanelanga.
14 Jalo ke bona go le botoka gore batlholagadi ba basha ba, ba nyalwe gape ba nne le bana, ba tlhokomele malwapa a bone; mme ga go ope yo o ka ba rayang sepe.
Ngakho ngifisa ukuthi abafelokazi abatsha bende, bazale abantwana, baphathe umuzi wabo, banganiki isitha lathuba lokuthuka.
15 Gonne ke boifa gore bangwe ba bone ba setse ba kgelogile mo phuthegong mme ba timeditswe ke Satane.
Ngoba lakhathesi abanye sebephambuke balandela uSathane.
16 Mmang ke lo gakolole gape gore ba ga gabo motlholagadi ba tshwanetse go mo tlhokomela, a se ka a nna morwalo wa phuthego. Mme phuthego e ka dirisa madi a yone go tlhokomela batlholagadi ba ba bosi ba ba senang kwa ba yang teng.
Uba okholwayo owesilisa kumbe okholwayo owesifazana elabafelokazi, kabasize, njalo ibandla lingathwaliswa nzima, ukuze lisize abangabafelokazi isibili.
17 Baruti ba ba dirang tiro ya bone sentle ba tshwanetse go duelwa sentle ebile ba tshwanetse go itumelelwa thata, bogolo thata ba ba dirang thata mo therong le mo thutong.
Abadala abaphatha kuhle bafanele ukuhlonitshwa ngokuphindiweyo, ikakhulu labo abasebenza nzima elizwini lekufundiseni;
18 Gonne Dikwalo tsa re, “O se bofe kgomo molomo fa e photha mabele, e lese e je fa entse e tsamaya!” Mme mo gongwe tsa re, “Ba ba dirang ba tshwanelwa ke tuelo ya bone!”
ngoba umbhalo uthi: Ungayifaki isayeke inkabi ebhulayo; futhi uthi: Isisebenzi sifanele iholo laso.
19 O se reetse dingongorego kgatlhanong le moruti fa e se go na le basupi ba le babedi kgotsa ba le bararo go mo sekisa.
Ungalemukeli icala elimelana lomdala, ngaphandle phambi kwabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu.
20 Fa tota a leofile, ke gone o tshwanetseng go kgalemelwa fa pele ga phuthego yotlhe gore ope a seka a dira jaaka ene.
Abonayo basole phambi kwabo bonke, ukuze abanye labo babe lokwesaba.
21 Ke go laya ka tlhoafalo fa pele ga Modimo le Morena Jesu Keresete le baengele ba ba boitshepo gore o dire se le fa moruti e ka bo e le tsala ya gago e e faphegileng kgotsa nnyaa. Botlhe ba tshwanetse go tsholwa ka tekatekanyo.
Ngiyakulayisisa phambi kukaNkulunkulu leNkosi uJesu Kristu lengilosi ezikhethiweyo, ukuze uzigcine lezizinto ngokungaqumi ngaphambili, ungenzi lutho ngokubandlulula.
22 O se ka wa itlhaganelela go tlhopha moruti; e ka re kgotsa wa tlodisa dibe tsa gagwe matlho mme ga lebega e ka re o a di dumelela. Tlhomamisa gore wena ka bowena o kgaogane le dibe.
Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla phezu komuntu, futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye; uzigcine wena umsulwa.
23 (Mme mo ga go reye gore o tlogele go nwa mofine gotlhelele. O tshwanetse go nwa go le gonnye e le molemo wa mala a gago gonne o aga o lwala).
Ungabe usanatha amanzi wodwa, kodwa sebenzisa iwayini elilutshwana, ngenxa yesisu sakho lemikhuhlane yakho futhifuthi.
24 Mme gakologelwa gore banna bangwe, le e leng baruti tota, ba tshela botshelo jo bo leswe ebile mongwe le mongwe o itse ka gona. Mo mabakeng a a ntseng jaana o ka dira sengwe ka gone. Mme mo mabakeng a mangwe ke letsatsi la katlholo fela le le tlaa senolang boammaaruri jo bo boitshegang.
Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibaqalela ukuya ekugwetshweni; kanti ezabanye ziyalandela.
25 Fela jalo, batho ba itse gore baruti bangwe ba dira bomolemo go le kae, mme nako nngwe ditiro tsa bone tse dintle ga di itsiwe go fitlhelela morago ga lobaka lo lo leele.
Ngokunjalo lemisebenzi emihle isobala; laleyo eyehlukileyo ingeke ifihlakale.
