1 Timoteori 5
1 Guiçon ancianoa ezteçala dorpequi reprehendi, baina ezhorta eçac aita beçala: gazteac, anayeac beçala:
Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,
2 Emazte çaharrac, amác beçala: gazteac, arrebác beçala castitate gucirequin.
the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters — with all purity.
3 Emazte alhargunac ohoraitzac, eguiazqui alhargun diradenac.
Show consideration for widows — I mean those who are really widowed.
4 Baina baldin cembeit emazte alhargunec haourric, edo ilobassoric badu, ikas beçate lehenic berén etche proprira pietateren eracusten, eta burhassoetara ordainaren rendatzen: ecen haour duc on eta placent Iaincoaren aitzinean.
but, if a widow has children or grand-children, let them 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 Bada eguiazqui alhargun denac eta bera azquendu içan denac sperança dic Iaincoa baithan, eta perseueratzen dic othoitzetan eta orationetan gau eta egun.
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 Baina deliciosqui vici dena, viciric hila duc.
But the life of a widow who is devoted to pleasure is a living death.
7 Gauça hauc bada denuntiaitzac, irreprehensible diradençát.
Those are the points on which you should dwell, that there may be no call for your censure.
8 Eta baldin edoceinec beréz eta principalqui etchecoéz artharic ezpadu, fedeaz vkatu dic, eta duc infidela baino gaichtoago.
Any one who fails to provide for his own relations, and especially for those under his own roof, has disowned the Faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Emazte alharguna hauta bedi ez hiruroguey vrthe baino gutiagotacoa, senhar baten emazte içana:
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 Obra onetan testimoniage duena: eya haourrac haci dituenez, eya estrangerac alogeatu dituenez, eya sainduén oinac ikuci dituenez, eya affligituac aiutatu dituenez, eya obra on orori ardura iarreiqui içan çayonez.
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 Baina alhargun gazteagoac refusaitzac: ecen bridá largatu dutenean Christen contra, ezcondu nahi dituc:
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 Bere condemnationea dutelaric, ceren bere lehen fedea iraitzi vkan baituté.
and so they bring condemnation upon themselves for having broken their previous promise.
13 Eta guehiago, alfer egoile-ere diradelaric ikasten dié etchez etche ebilten: eta eztituc solament alfer egoile, baina edasle-ere, eta curioso, behar eztiraden gaucéz dadassatelaric.
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 busy-bodies, and talk of what they ought not.
14 Nahi diat bada gazteac ezcon ditecen, haour daguiten, etchea goberna deçaten, occasioneric batre etsayari eztemoten gaizqui erraiteco.
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 Ecen ia baztu itzuli içan dituc Satanen ondoan.
There are some who have already left us, to follow Satan.
16 Baldin edocein fidelec edo cembeit fidelsac baditu emazte alhargunac, aiuta bitza hec, eta eztadin carga Eliçá, eguiazqui alhargun diradenén asco dençát.
Any Christian woman, who has relations 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 Vngui presiditzen duten Ancianoac ohore doblaren digne estima bitez: principalqui hitzean eta doctrinán trabaillatzen diradenac.
Those Officers of the Church who fill their office well should be held deserving of especial consideration, particularly those whose work lies in preaching and teaching.
18 Ecen Scripturác erraiten dic, Idi bihitzen ari denari eztraucac ahoa lothuren. Eta, Languilea bere sariaren digne da.
The words of Scripture are — ‘Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain.’ and again — ‘The worker is worth his wages.’
19 Ancianoaren contra accusationeric ezteçála recebi biga edo hirur testimonioren azpian baicen.
Do not receive a charge against an Officer of the Church, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses;
20 Bekatu eguiten dutenac, gucién aitzinean reprehenditzac, berceac-ere baldur diradençát.
but rebuke offenders publicly, so that others may take warning.
21 Requeritzen aut Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren eta Aingueru elegituén aitzinean, gauça hauc beguira ditzán, bata berceari preferitu gabe: deus eguiten eztuala alde batera makurtuz.
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 Escuac eztietzoala nehori bertan eçar, eta ezteçála communica berceren bekatuetan, eure buruä pur beguireçac.
Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.
23 Hemendic harát ezteçála vric edan, baina mahatsarno gutibatez vsat eçac, eure estomacagatic, eta eure eritassun vssuacgatic.
Do not continue to drink water only, but take a little wine on account of the weakness of your stomach, and your frequent ailments.
24 Guiçon batzuén bekatuac aitzinean agueri dituc, eta aitzinean dihoaçac condemnationetan: eta batzuey ondoan-ere iarreiquiten ciaiztec.
There are some men whose sins are conspicuous and lead on to judgment, while there are others whose sins dog their steps.
25 Halaber obra onac-ere aitzinean agueri dituc: eta bercelaco diraden obrác, ecin estal daitezquec.
In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
