1 Timotea 5
1 Kanji ukalimeri mukwame mukulwana. Kono, umuhinde naye uvu avali nji veso. Uhinde milombwana uvu vache banko ve chikwame.
An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 U hinde vakulwakazi uvu vashemi ve chanakazi, mi vakazana uvu bachizyako muku jolola konse.
Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
3 Mukuteke va shaminine, vashamine luli.
Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
4 Kono haiva va shamine vena vana kapa vehwa, muva siye pili va tondeze ikute mu mazuvo avo. Muva siye va vozekeze vashemi vavo, kakuli ichi chi tavisa kwe Ireeza.
But if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house, and to make a return of duty to her parents: for this is acceptable before God.
5 Kono yo shamine ze niti mi ushele yenke. U vika insempo yakwe kwa Ireeza. Inako yonse ushala ni nkupo ni ntapelo masiku ni kamwi konse.
But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 Nihakuva vulyo, mukulwakazi uhala che minyaka ufwire, nanga ha sihala.
For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
7 Mi ukutaze izi zintu ili kuti kanji vavi niku nyazwa.
And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Kono haiva zumwi ka lukisezi va kwakwe, sihulu vana vo mwi nzuvo yakwe, wa sampula intumelo mi uswana fela sina ya seli mulumeli mane ni kuhita.
But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Muzuminine mukulwakazi ku ñoliswa kuva hava ni zirimo zi sena mwikonde yezirimo ziska he kumi lyeminwe ye yaza lyonke ni chonke, yo sestwe kumukwame yenke.
Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
10 Uswanera kwiziveka che mitendo milotu, nangati kuti yo kuvavalera vahwire, kamba avali ku amuhera bazwahule, kamba ava kushanja matende ava vazumini, kamba ava tusi ni kuhoza vanyandiswe, kamba avali kulitulite ku misevezi yonse milotu.
Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 Kona kuva fwamini vasiri bahwire, uva kanine kuva ñola ha mukoloko. Kakuli chiva tambika miviri yavo kwi takazo kulwisa Keresite, va sisaka kusesa.
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
12 Cheyi inzira baliwana va ni mulandu kakuli chiva chola itayero ya matangiro.
Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
13 Hape valiwana chive na kumilapero ya maswaniso. Vatanga kuya vuzimboka zimboka muma zuvo ni mazuvo. Insiñi fera kusanduka vasekali, kono vasanduka va soha ni valeta i fapano. Vatanga kuwamba zintu ziva swaneri kuwamba.
And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 Iri linu nisaka vakulwakazana kusesa, kuzala vana, ku vavalera mazuvo, iri kuli kanji vahi muvilala chivaka cho kutu nyasa mukupanga vuvi.
I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
15 Kakuli bamwi chivava sanduki kuya kwa Satani.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 Haiva kuvamwi vanakazi vazumine kwina wina vava shaminini, mumusiye ava tuse, iri kuli ikereke kanji i lemezwa ahulu, iri kuli ikereke i tuse vana vasena vava tusa.
If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.
17 Uzuminine va kulwana va vusa hande kuti vahewe ikute kovere, sihulu hulu avo vasebeza mu linzwi ni mukuli ruta.
Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
18 Kakuti iñolo liti, “kanji uviki muhala kukaholo ke mpulu chiyi kwete kusinza vuheke,” mi “Yoseveza uswanera itifo yakwe.”
For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Kanji utambuli muzeko u yama muntu mukulwana kwanda yokuti kwina impanki zo vere kamba zo tatwe.
Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 U kalimere vapanga chivi havusu bwa vonse iri kuli vamwi valitute kiuvali.
Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
21 Ime ni kulayera havusu bwa Ireeza ni havusu bwa Keresite Jesu mane vulyo nihavusu bwa mañiroyi aketetwe,
I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.
22 kuti u kwate inzi tayero nikusena kulikumusa mi kanji upangi chihi ne chihi cheva ni chiyaluluti. Kanji uli yaviri muchivi cho zumwi miuntu. Uvone kuti uli chenisa.
Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.
23 Kanji uzwiri havusu kunwa menzi vulyo. linu, u swanera kunwa ni waine inini kupangira ivumo lyako ni kulwalanga kwako.
Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
24 Zivi zabamwi vantu ziziveka niku boneka hanze, mi vayenda muzili kuya mwikantulo. Kono zimwi zivi zichilira inako zana.
Some men’s sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
25 Chokuswana, Imwi misevezi milotu iyalukite ivoneka hekanza, mi yimwi kaioloi ku ungulwa.
In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
