1 Timothawus 5
1 Na uwa boro ukune iyizi ba, fwanghe acara naco ucif, mino uzaman nafo nuana fin.
Do not rebuke an elder man, but entreat him as a father, younger men as brothers,
2 Zazina awani akukune nafo annah, nuan nishono nafo nuan nishono, nin kibinayi kilau vat.
elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.
3 Zazina awani ale na ales mine namo kuzu, ale na imal kunju.
Support widows, the real widows.
4 Andi uwani ulle na ules me na kú, dumun nono nin nayalang, na icizin udursuzu nlanzu fiu Kutellẹ nan nya lilari mine. Na ibiya acif mine, bara na Kutellẹ din lanzu nmang nani.
But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to be devoted to their own house, and to give back recompense to their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 Ame unan diru nles ulle na amẹ nkuno, na aceo kibinai me kiti Kutellẹ. Ashon liti nan nya nfo nacara kitik nin lirin.
But the real widow, and made alone, has hoped in God, and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.
6 Ame ulle na aceo kibanai me nlanzu nmang ame nkú, a ayita nin lai.
But she who is self-indulgent is dead while she lives.
7 Ta isu illẹ imone, bara iwa se imon nvurzu.
And command these things, so that they may be blameless.
8 Nanere ulle na amin kilari mẹ nin li uana ba, anari uyinnu sa uyenu, akanti kulumai nin nanzang.
But if any man does not provide for his own, and especially those belonging his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
9 Na iwa nyertin lissa nmon uwani unan dirun les, na akus me darni akut kutocin ba, uwani nles urum.
Let no widow be enrolled under sixty years old, having become the wife of one man,
10 Na iyininghe nin katuwa kacind, assa ana min nono gegeme, ayita washalang, asa ana kuzuzu abunu namara, asa ana buzuno nikimon, asa ana suzu imon vat nin likara.
being testified in good works: if she has reared children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the feet of the sanctified, if she has relieved those who are afflicted, if she has followed every good work.
11 Nanere alle na ales mine na kuzu ana isa kunjo ba, na iwa yertin tisa mine ba. Bara kubi ko na usu kidowon nkata likara minẹ, asa ipizira usu nilugma.
But refuse younger widows, for when they are sexually aroused, they desire of the Christ to marry,
12 Nan nya nlo libauwe, idinin shara natimine bara na inari uyinnu sa uyenu mine un burne.
which has condemnation because they have disregarded the original pledge.
13 Bara nani asa iso agballa. Nin dortu nilari nilari. Na asa iso agballa cas ba, asa iso anan kubellum. Ibelle ile imon na icaun ibellu ba.
And also at the same time they learn to be idle, roving the houses, and not only idle, but also babbling and meddlesome, speaking things that they ought not.
14 Bara nani ndinin su awani abebene ale na ales mine na kuzu isu ilugma, imacu nono, imin nilari, na iwa ni shitan ku nfwang nnanzu katuwa bit ba.
I desire therefore the younger women to marry, to bear children, to manage house, to give not one occasion to him who opposes on account of slander.
15 Nene wang, among mine nlasina idofino shitan ku.
For some have already turned aside after Satan.
16 Assa uwani ule na adinin yinnu sa uyenu, adinin nawani ale na alles mine na kuzu, na abun nani, bara katawe wa ti kutyin lire kadiawe, bara ina buno anan diru nales alle na ikunjo.
If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and let not the congregation be burdened, so that it may relieve the real widows.
17 Na adidya ale na ina ghatin nani acara kutyin nlira, asa idin cinu nin nanit gegeme na ipatin uzazunu ulenge na iba ninani, umunu alenge na idin bellu idursuzo uliru Kutellẹ.
Let the elders who rule well be regarded worthy of double compensation, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18 Uliru Kutellẹ nworo, ''Na uwa nazu finafe nin nimoli kubi katwa ba,'' tutung ''Unan katuwa uwesu tinonto me.''
For the scripture says thou shall not muzzle an ox that is threshing. And the workman is worthy of his wage.
19 Kpada anan su nalapi nbun nanit, ngisine nan lanza fiu.
Accept no accusation against an elder, except at two or three witnesses.
20 Asa na ulanza nnu nan waba sa awatat ba, na uwa yinnin nin vuru liti ndia kutyẹn lira ule na ina tarda ghe uchara ba.
Those who sin, rebuke in the sight of all, so that the others may also have fear.
21 Ntafi ubun Kutellẹ, nin Yisa Kristi, a nono kadura Kutellẹ allege na ina fere nani, su ille imone, na uwa feru ba, yenje uwa su imomon nin su liti.
I solemnly testify before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen agents, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing from partiality.
22 Na uwa tarda unit achara dsddei ba, bara uwa ti acara nan nya kulapin nmong, nafe litife so lau.
Lay hands hastily on no man, nor contribute to other sins. Keep thyself pure.
23 Na uwa so nmyen cas ba, kpina kamyen kagbagbai bara ukonu liburi nin nyeneyi kidowo fe.
No longer drink water, but use a little wine because of thy stomach and thy frequent weaknesses.
24 Alapi na mong anit di kanang, idin cinu nbun udu kitin shara, among dorto kidung.
The sins of some men are evident, leading to judgment, but also for some they follow after.
25 Nanere tutun nituwa nicine di kanang, ni nin nanẹ wang na ni nyeshi ba.
Likewise also good works are evident, and those faring otherwise cannot be hid.
