1 Timothy 5
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Kaua e whakatupehupehu ki te kaumatua; engari ata korerotia atu ano he matua; ko nga taitamariki hoki ano he teina;
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
Ko nga ruruhi ano he whaea; ko nga wahine taitamariki ano he tuahine, i runga i nga whakaaro ma katoa.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Whakahonoretia nga pouaru, ara nga tino pouaru.
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.
Ki te mea ia he tamariki, he mokopuna ranei a tetahi pouaru, kia whakaakona ratou i te tuatahi kia whakaaro tika ki to ratou whare ake, kia utua hoki ta nga matua; he mea pai hoki tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua.
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.
Na ko te tino pouaru, ko te mea mokemoke, e tumanako ana ia ki te Atua, e mau tonu ana ki nga inoi, ki nga karakia, i te po, i te ao.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Ko te pouaru ia e whai ana ki nga ahuareka a te tinana he tupapaku ia, ahakoa ora.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
Akona atu enei mea, kei ekengia ratou e te kupu.
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.
Engari ki te kore tetahi e whakaaro ki ona ake, a ki te hunga rawa ano o tona whare, kua whakakahoretia e ia te whakapono, a he kino atu tana i ta te tangata whakaponokore.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Kaua tetahi e whakaurua ki te rarangi o nga pouaru i te mea kahore ano ona tau i ona tekau, hei te wahine i tuturu ki te tane kotahi,
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.
Hei te mea e whakaaetia ana ana mahi pai; mehemea ia i whakatupu tamariki, mehemea ia i atawhai manuhiri, mehemea i horoi i nga waewae o te hunga tapu, mehemea i manaaki i te hunga e tukinotia ana, mehemea ia i whai ki nga mahi pai katoa.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
Ko nga pouaru taitamariki ia me whakarere; ki te tupu hoki to ratou whakaaro poauau takahi i ta te Karaiti, ka hiahia ki te marena;
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
Ka tau te he ki a ratou, no te mea kua whakarerea e ratou to ratou whakapono tuatahi.
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.
Ka ako ano hoki ratou ki te noho mangere, ki te haereere noa ki tetahi whare, ki tetahi whare: a ehara i te mea ko te mangere kau, he mate korerorero ano ia to ratou, he pokanoa ki ta tera, ki ta tera, ko ta ratou e korero ai ko nga mea e kore e tika.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
Koia ahau ka mea ai kia marena nga pouaru taitamariki, kia whanau tamariki, kia tohutohu i nga mea o te whare, kia kaua e hoatu ki te hoariri tetahi take tawai:
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
Kua tahuri ke nei hoki etahi ki te whai i a Hatana.
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.
Ki te mea he pouaru a tetahi tangata whakapono, a tetahi wahine whakapono ranei, mana ano ratou e atawhai, kaua hoki te hahi e whakataimahatia; ko ana hoki e atawhai ai ko nga tino pouaru.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Kia nui ake te honore mo nga kaumatua e tohutohu pai ana; engari rawa ia mo te hunga ko ta ratou nei mahi ko te kupu, ko te whakaako.
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.”
E mea ana hoki te karaipiture, Kaua e whakamokatia te mangai o te kau patu witi: me tenei hoki, Ka tika te utu mo te kaimahi.
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Kaua e whakarongo ki te whakawa mo te kaumatua, kia puta ra ano i nga mangai o etahi kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Ko te hunga hara riria i te aroaro o te katoa, kia mataku ai hoki era atu.
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.
Ko taku kupu nui tenei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Ihu hoki, a o nga anahera whiriwhiri, puritia enei mea, kaua e pokaia he tikanga, kaua e mahi i runga i te whakahoa.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
Kei hohoro te whakapa i nga ringaringa ki tetahi tangata, kaua ano e uru ki nga hara o te tangata ke: kia mau tou harakore.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
Kati tou inu wai; engari hei te waina mau, kia iti, hei mea mo tou puku, mo ou mate e honohono na.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
Ko nga hara o etahi tangata marama noa ake, e haere ana i mua ki te whakawakanga; ko o etahi ia e whai mai ana i muri i a ratou.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
Waihoki ko nga mahi pai e marama noa ake ana; a, ko nga mea e rere ke ana e kore e taea te huna.
