1 Timothy 5
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Kom in tia kai sie mukul su matu liki kom, a kwafe nu sel oana elan papa tomom; ac oru nu sin mukul fusr an oana elos in tamulel lom,
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
ac nu sin mutan matu oana nina kiom, ac mutan fusr oana ma wiom, ke ouiya nasnas nukewa.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Sunakin katinmas su mukaimtal na pwaye.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
Tusruktu fin oasr tulik nutin sie katinmas, ku tulik nutin tulik natul, lela elos in etu in akfalye ma kunalos meet nu sin sou lalos, mweyen ma inge ipin na moul in lulalfongi lalos, in folokin orekma wo lun papa ac nina, ac ma inge mwe akinsewowoye God.
5 Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
Sie katinmas su muku ac wangin kasreyal, el filiya finsrak lal nukewa in God, ac sikalani in pre ac siyuk kasru sel ke len ac fong.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
A sie katinmas su suk na mwe akpwar lusrongten, el misa tari el finne srakna moul.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
Kom in fahkak mwe luti inge nu selos, tuh in wangin mwet fahk kas in akkolukyalos.
8 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.
Sie mwet fin tia karinganang sou lal, yokna kaclos su muta in lohm sel, el lafwekin lulalfongi lal, ac ke el oru ouinge el koluk liki na mwet se ma tia lulalfongi.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Nikmet simusang inen sie katinmas nu ke takin katinmas uh el fin soenna sun yac onngoul, ac oayapa enenu elan tuh payuk pacl sefanna,
10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
ac in oasr pweng wo kacl ke orekma lal. Elan sie su liyaung wo tulik natul, el kulang nu sin mwetsac in eisalos nu in lohm sel, pusisel in oru ma kunal nu sin mwet lulalfongi, kasru mwet muta in ongoiya, ac moniyuk in oru ma wo.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
A kom in tia simusang inen sie katinmas fusr, mweyen elos fin mau kena yohk in sifil payukyak, elos ac forla liki Christ,
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
pwanang ac oasr mwatalos ke sripen elos kunausla wuleang se ma elos oru meet nu sin Christ.
13 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.
Elos oayapa pahla in uti utyak nu in lohm sin mwet; ac koluk liki na, elos ac lesrik ac sifacna isongulos nu ke ma su tia ma kunalos, ac sramsramkin ma tia eneneyuk in srumunyuk.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
Ke ma inge, ac wo sik katinmas fusr in payukyak, isus tulik, ac liyaung lohm selos, na ac kosrala mwet lokoalok lasr in tia ku in kaskas akkolukye kut.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
Tuh kutu sin katinmas uh forla tari in fahsr tukun Satan.
16 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.
Tuh fin oasr katinmas ke sou lun kutena mutan Christian, lela elan karinganulosyang ac tia sang in aktoasrye ma kunen church, tuh church in ku in karingin katinmas su muku ac enenu na pwaye.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Mwet kol lun church su oaru in ma kunalos, fal in akyokye mololos, yokna nu selos su insianaung in fahkak kas ac luti.
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nik kom kapriya oalin soko cow mukul ke kom orekmakunul in lolongya wheat” ac “Fal sie mwet orekma in eis molin orekma lal.”
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Nik kom porongo kas in akkoluk lain sie mwet kol fin tia sin mwet loh luo ku tolu.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Fin oasr mwet kol su nuna oru na ma koluk, kom in kaelos ye mutun mwet lulalfongi, tuh mwet lula elos in sensen.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Ye mutun God ac Christ Jesus ac lipufan sulosolla lal, nga wili nu sum tuh kom in liyaung kas inge ac tia srisri ku wiwi mwet in kutena ma.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
Kom in tia sulaklak in filiya poum fin kutena mwet in kisakunulosyang nu ke orekma lun Leum. Nimet kom wi mwet koluk ke ma elos oru. Sifacna karinginkomyang tuh kom in nasnas.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
Kom in tia nim kof mukena, a karrauk ke kutu srisrik wain in kasru mas su fusus in sikyak ke insiom.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
Ma koluk lun kutu mwet uh arulana kalem ac kololos nu ke nununku; a ma koluk lun kutu mwet uh fah kalem tok.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
In ouiya se pacna inge, orekma wo uh liyeyuk kalem; ac finne ma su tia kalem uh, tia pac ku in wikinyukla.
