1 Timothawus 5
1 Na uwa boro ukune iyizi ba, fwanghe acara naco ucif, mino uzaman nafo nuana fin.
Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
2 Zazina awani akukune nafo annah, nuan nishono nafo nuan nishono, nin kibinayi kilau vat.
the older women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
3 Zazina awani ale na ales mine namo kuzu, ale na imal kunju.
Honor widows who are widows indeed.
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 learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay 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.
Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
6 Ame ulle na aceo kibanai me nlanzu nmang ame nkú, a ayita nin lai.
But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
7 Ta isu illẹ imone, bara iwa se imon nvurzu.
Also command these things, so that they will be without fault.
8 Nanere ulle na amin kilari mẹ nin li uana ba, anari uyinnu sa uyenu, akanti kulumai nin nanzang.
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Na iwa nyertin lissa nmon uwani unan dirun les, na akus me darni akut kutocin ba, uwani nles urum.
Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been 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 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.
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 whenever their passions lead them away from Christ, they desire to marry;
12 Nan nya nlo libauwe, idinin shara natimine bara na inari uyinnu sa uyenu mine un burne.
having condemnation, because they have rejected their first 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.
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.
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 that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling.
15 Nene wang, among mine nlasina idofino shitan ku.
For already some have 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 woman has widows, she must assist them, and do not let the church be burdened; that it might help those widows who are truly in need.
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 counted worthy of double honor, 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, "Do not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
19 Kpada anan su nalapi nbun nanit, ngisine nan lanza fiu.
Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of 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, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in 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 command you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Na uwa tarda unit achara dsddei ba, bara uwa ti acara nan nya kulapin nmong, nafe litife so lau.
Do not ordain anyone hastily, nor participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Na uwa so nmyen cas ba, kpina kamyen kagbagbai bara ukonu liburi nin nyeneyi kidowo fe.
Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.
24 Alapi na mong anit di kanang, idin cinu nbun udu kitin shara, among dorto kidung.
The sins of some people are obvious, going before them to judgment, but those of others show up later.
25 Nanere tutun nituwa nicine di kanang, ni nin nanẹ wang na ni nyeshi ba.
In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
