1 Timoteyos 5
1 Nin waayeel ah ha canaanan, laakiin u waani sida aabbe oo kale; dhallinyaradana u waani sida walaalo oo kale;
Do not rebuke/scold older men. Instead, exhort/advise them [respectfully] as you would [exhort/advise] your father. Exhort/advise younger men [gently] as you would exhort/advise your brothers.
2 habrahana sida hooyooyin oo kale u waani, naagaha dhallintayarna sida walaalo oo kale, adigoo daahir ah.
[Exhort/advise] older women [respectfully] as [you would exhort/advise] your mother. [Exhort/advise] younger women [gently] as [you would exhort/advise] your sisters; but you must act in a completely proper way as you do that.
3 Maamuus carmallada runta ah oo nimankoodii ka dhinteen,
[Make sure that the congregation] takes care of widows who have no one to care for them.
4 laakiin haddii naag carmal ahu carruur leedahay ama carruurteedu ay carruur leedahay, iyagu marka hore ha barteen inay dadkooda si cibaado leh kula macaamiloodaan, waalidkoodna u cawilceliyaan, waayo taasu way wanaagsan tahay, waana mid Ilaah aqbali karo.
If a widow has children or grandchildren, these [children or grandchildren] should learn that they are to take care of their own family first. By doing that they can repay their parents and grandparents for all that they did for them when they were young, because doing that pleases God.
5 Waayo, tii carmal run ah oo cidlootay, waxay rajo ku leedahay Ilaah, habeen iyo maalinna baryada iyo tukashada way sii waddaa.
The widows who are really alone and have no one [to help them] confidently expect that God [will help them]. So night and day they pray, earnestly asking [DOU] [God that he will help them and others].
6 Laakiin tii raaxaysi u noolaataa waa meyd intay nooshahay.
But widows who just want to have a lot of pleasure are [spiritually] [MET] dead, although they are [physically] alive.
7 Waxyaalahan ku amar inay ceeb la'aadaan.
And tell [the congregation] that [the children or grandchildren should do] these things in order that [no one] can (criticize the believers/say that the believers are doing anything that is wrong).
8 Laakiin qof hadduusan dadkiisa dhaqaalayn, khusuusan kuwa gurigiisa jooga, kaasu iimaankuu ka hor yimid, wuuna ka sii liitaa mid aan rumaysanayn.
If anyone does not take care of those who live in his own house, and especially if he does not take care of his own family, he has (denied/quit believing) what we believe and [we should consider that] he is worse than a person who does not believe [in Christ].
9 Ha la qoro carmal aan lixdan sannadood ka yarayn oo nin keliya naag u ahaan jirtay,
[You have a list of] widows [who will do work for the congregation and receive money]. Put women’s names on the list [only if] they are more than 60 years old, and if they were faithful to their husbands.
10 oo loogu marag furay inay shuqullo wanaagsan samaysay, hadday carruur korisay, hadday shisheeyaha marti soori jirtay, hadday quduusiinta cagaha u maydhay, hadday kuwii dhibaataysnaa u gargaartay, hadday shuqul kasta oo wanaagsan aad ugu dadaashay.
[Put women’s names on that list only] if it is known that they have wholeheartedly done every kind of good deed, if they have helped [children] who were afflicted/suffering, if they have (brought up/cared for) their children [properly/well], if they have welcomed and cared for guests, and if they have humbly served [MTY] other believers.
11 Laakiinse carmallada dhallintayar diid, waayo, markay qooqaan ayay ka jeestaan Masiixa, oo waxay doonayaan inay guursadaan.
As for younger widows, do not put their names on that list, because they [promise to do work for the congregation, but instead of doing that, they usually] want to marry [again] (OR, marry an unbeliever) when they have a strong desire to get married.
12 Iimaankoodii hore way naceen, oo sidaas daraaddeed waa la xukumay.
If that happens, they may become guilty of not having done what they had promised [to do for the congregation] (OR, promised [Christ that they would do].)
13 Waxay kaloo weliba bartaan inay caajisiin noqdaan, iyagoo iska wareegaya oo guriba guri uga baxaya; caajisiin oo keliyana ma ahaye, weliba way warsheeko badan yihiin, oo axwaalka dadka kalena way faraggeliyaan, iyagoo ku hadlaya waxyaalo aan waajib ku ahayn.
In addition, they [generally] become lazy. Specifically, as they [just] go about from house to house, they also begin (to gossip/to talk about people) and to meddle in other people’s affairs, saying what they should not say.
14 Haddaba waxaan doonayaa inay carmallada dhallintayaru guursadaan, oo carruur dhalaan, oo gurigooda u taliyaan, oo ayan cadowga isu jebin inuu caayo.
So I advise that [instead of putting the names of younger widows on the list, they] marry again, that they bear/have children, that they manage their homes [well], and that they do nothing for which an enemy can say bad things about [them].
15 Waayo, hadda ka hor qaar baa xagga Shayddaanka u leexday.
[I say this] because some [younger widows] have stopped [obeying Christ] in order to obey Satan.
16 Haddii naag rumaysanu ay leedahay carmallo ha u gargaarto iyaga, oo kiniisadda yaan la culaysin, si ay u gargaarto kuwa carmallada runta ah.
If any woman who believes [in Christ] has widows [in her household/family], she should take care of them. The congregation should not be burdened by having {She should not depend on the congregation} to take care of their [needs]. The congregation should take care of the widows who truly [have no one to care for them].
17 Waayeellada si wanaagsan wax ugu taliya ha lagu tiriyo kuwo istaahila in labanlaab loo maamuuso, khusuusan kuwa ku hawshooda waxwacdinta iyo waxbaridda.
[Each congregation] should pay well the elders who lead [well. They should] greatly honor them, especially those who preach and those who teach.
18 Waayo, Qorniinku wuxuu leeyahay, Waa inaadan dibiga af xidhin markuu sarreenka burburinayo. Wuxuu kaloo leeyahay, Shaqaalahu waa istaahilaa abaalgudkiisa.
[Long ago Moses] wrote in the Scriptures, “While an ox is threshing [grain], you must not tie its mouth [so that it cannot eat the grain],” and [Jesus said], “[People] should pay those who work [for their benefit].” [So we know that congregations should support their leaders].
19 Nin waayeel ah ashtako ha ku qaadin, laba ama saddex qof oo ku markhaati fura mooyaane.
When some person accuses an elder [about doing wrong], accept what he says only if there are [at least] two or three persons who (testify/say [that]) [they saw him do that wrong].
20 Kuwa dembaaba inta kale oo dhan hortooda ku canaano in kuwa kalena ay cabsadaan.
But as for any [elder] who repeatedly sins, rebuke him before the whole congregation, in order that the rest [of the elders] will be afraid [to sin].
21 Waxaan Ilaah iyo Ciise Masiix iyo malaa'igaha la doortay hortooda kugu waaninayaa inaad waxyaalahan ku dhawrtid eexashola'aan, oo aadan waxba samayn adoo dadka kala jeclaanaya.
I solemnly tell you that [as you keep in mind that] God and Christ Jesus and the holy angels know everything that you do, obey these commands [about elders]! [As you consider what others say about an elder doing wrong], do not easily/quickly decide that what they say is true. And treat them all equally.
22 Ninna gacmaha degdeg ha u saarin, dad kale dembiyadoodana ha ka qayb gelin. Nafsaddaada daahirsanaan ku dhawr.
Do not be in a hurry to put your hands on a man ([to set him apart/to appoint him]) [as an elder. Wait until you have examined him to see how he conducts his life], because [God will consider] that you are responsible if [you approve] a person who sins, saying that he should [become an elder]. Keep your life pure in every way.
23 Laakiinse hadda ka dib biyo oo keliya ha cabbin, illowse waxoogaa yar oo khamri ah u cab calooshaada iyo cudurradaada mararka badan kugu soo noqnoqda daraaddood.
[And Timothy], no longer drink [only] water, but instead, drink a little wine [also], because [that may help to cure] your stomach’s frequent illnesses.
24 Dadka qarkood dembiyadoodu waa bayaan, oo waxay u hor marayaan xukunka, dadka qaarkoodna kuwoodu way daba socdaan.
[I tell you not] ([to set apart/appoint]) [elders hastily, without seeing how they conduct their lives, because] some people [sin secretly], so that it is not known what they have done until after someone examines them (OR, before God judges them). But some people sin openly, so that people know what they have done before anyone examines them.
25 Sidaas oo kalena waxaa jira shuqullo wanaagsan oo bayaan ah, kuwa aan caynkaas ahaynna lama qarin karo.
Similarly, although [some people] do good things openly, with the result that people know what they have done, some people [do good things secretly], yet the good things that they have done cannot remain secret either.
