1 Timotewu 5
1 Nagumkalipira muntu mzewi, kumbiti kumgambiri mpolimpoli gambira Tati gwaku. Muwatenderi wantemba gambira walongu waku,
An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:
2 wadala wazewi guwagambiri handa mawu gwaku, na wahinga gambira muhasha gwaku, mumakaliru gaherepa.
Old women, as mothers: young women, as sisters, in all chastity.
3 Guwapanani ligoya wakenja yawehera ntangiru yoseri.
Honour widows, that are widows indeed.
4 Kumbiti mkenja yakaweriti na wana ama wazukulu, womberi wafiruwa kwanja kulifunda kutenda shawafiruwa yawamjimira Mlungu kwa kaya zyawu weni na hangu wawatenderi maheri walera wawu na wambuyi wawu gambira galii gawawatendiriti womberi kwanja, toziya shitwatira ashi shiherepa palongolu pa Mlungu.
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 Mdala mkenja yakahera muntu gwa kumtanga nakaka, kamtulira Mlungu litumbiru lyakuwi kusali na kumluwa Mlungu kumtanga pashiru na paliwala.
But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 Kumbiti mkenja yakasinda kulilewelera muvitwatira vya kulinemeziya nentu ayu gambira kahowa, tembera kangali mkomu.
For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.
7 Guwapanani viraa Malagaliru aga, su wantu wamonga nawawawona watenda gaherepa ndiri.
And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 Kumbiti handa muntu kawalolera ndiri walongu wakuwi, ndo walii wa ukaya kwakuwi, su muntu ayu kayilema njimiru, na kadoda nentu kuliku muntu yakajimira ndiri.
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 Nagumwongelera mkenja yoseri yakenifiki vinja malongu sita nawamwingiziya muwalangwa ya wakenja. Kayi kiweriti kayugwa mala yimu hera,
Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.
10 na kaweri na zyuma ziherepa mumakaliru, yakawaleriti wana wakuwi weri, yakawashemiriti wahenga ukaya kwakuwi, kawanaviyiti magulu wantu wa Mlungu na kawatangiti wantu wana ntabiku na yakalilaviyiti kutenda vitwatira viherepa vivuwa.
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 Kumbiti naguwalembisiya wakenja wahinga toziya handa lumatamata lwawu lwa nshimba paluwera livuwa na makakala kuliku kulilaviya kwawu kwa Kristu, hawafiri wawayugi kayi,
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
12 na hawawoneki wanalikosa kwa kuleka lipatanu lyawu lya kwanja.
Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.
13 Wakenja gambira awa wanja kuwera waleri pawayerayera numba na numba, shashidoda nentu ndo shawanja kuwatakula wantu makondola, na kuliyingiziya muvitwatira vya wantu wamonga, agawu pawalonga vitwatira vyangali kufiriziwa kulonga.
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 Su nfira wakenja wahinga wayugwi, wiwuli wana na kulolera weri numba zyawu su wankondu wetu nawapata lupenyu vya kulonga vitwatira vikondola kwa twenga.
I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.
15 Toziya wakenja wamonga waleka njira ya Mlungu na kumgendera Shetani.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
16 Kumbiti handa mawu yoseri Mkristu kana walongu weni ndo wakenja yawehera utanga nakaka, yomberi kafiruwa kuwatanga toziya nakashilekera shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu lihengu ali lya kuwatanga, su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiwaloleri walii yawawera wakenja wahera utanga nakaka.
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 Wazewi wawalongoziya wantu uweri wafiruwa wanki shibena mgongu nentu, ndo kwa walii yawatenda lihengu kwa gangamala mukubwera na kufunda.
Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:
18 Toziya Malembu Mananagala ngalonga. “Nagumtawa ng'ombi mlomu pakafikisiya mbunji,” Na kayi “Mtenda lihengu kafiruwa kwanka shibena mgongu shakuwi.”
For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
19 Nagujimira kwanka mayangiru ga wazewi wawalongoziya mshipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pawahera wakapitawu wawili ama watatu.
Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 Walii yawatenda vidoda guwabeliziyi paweru, su wamonga wapati kutira.
Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.
21 Nukulagalira palongolu pa Mlungu na pa Kristu Yesu na palongolu pa wantumintumi wa kumpindi wasyagulwa, gugakoli malagaliru aga pota kubagula.
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 Nagutenda kanongola kumtulira muntu mawoku toziya ya lihengu lya kumtendera Mtuwa. Pagutenda hangu haguweri pamuhera na vidoda vyakuwi. Gulituli muuherepa.
Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.
23 Nagulanda mashi hera, kumbiti gulandi divayi ndidini, toziya ya mtima gwaku, toziya gulwala mala kwa mala.
Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thy frequent infirmities.
24 Vidoda vya wantu wamonga viwoneka pota kufifa, pamberi pawawajega kuutoza, kumbiti vidoda vya wamonga vimanika pawasoka mkutoza.
Some men’s sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after.
25 Ntambu iraa hayi, mafiliru gaherepa gawoneka paweru, na ata galii yagawoneka ndiri paweru gaweza ndiri kwendeleya kufifwa.
In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
