1 Timothawus 5
1 Na uwa boro ukune iyizi ba, fwanghe acara naco ucif, mino uzaman nafo nuana fin.
An elder do not reprimand, but persuade him as a father, and those who are young as thy brethren,
2 Zazina awani akukune nafo annah, nuan nishono nafo nuan nishono, nin kibinayi kilau vat.
and the elderly women as mothers, and those who are young as thy sisters, with all purity.
3 Zazina awani ale na ales mine namo kuzu, ale na imal kunju.
The widows honour them who are widows in truth.
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.
And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.
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 she who is truly a widow and solitary (is one) whose hope is in Aloha, and who persevereth in prayer and in supplication by night and by day.
6 Ame ulle na aceo kibanai me nlanzu nmang ame nkú, a ayita nin lai.
But she who serveth pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 Ta isu illẹ imone, bara iwa se imon nvurzu.
These things prescribe to them, that they be without blame.
8 Nanere ulle na amin kilari mẹ nin li uana ba, anari uyinnu sa uyenu, akanti kulumai nin nanzang.
For if a man hath not care of them who are his own, and especially of them who are children of the household of faith, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than those who believe not.
9 Na iwa nyertin lissa nmon uwani unan dirun les, na akus me darni akut kutocin ba, uwani nles urum.
Elect, then, the widow who is not less than sixty years, who hath had one husband,
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.
and who hath the testimony of good works: if she have brought up children, if she have received guests, if she have washed the feet of the saints, if she have cheered the afflicted, if she have walked in every gracious 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 from the widows who are young, withhold (the election); for these become schismatical against the Meshiha, and seek to marry,
12 Nan nya nlo libauwe, idinin shara natimine bara na inari uyinnu sa uyenu mine un burne.
and their condemnation is confirmed, because they have rejected their first fidelity.
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.
They also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to multiply words, and to follow vain (pursuits), and to speak 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 will therefore that those who are young should marry, and bear children, and conduct their households,
15 Nene wang, among mine nlasina idofino shitan ku.
and not give to the adversary any occasion to revile. For already have some begun to turn aside after Satana.
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 have widows, let them support them, that they may not be burden-some on the church, that they who are widows indeed may have sufficient.
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.
Those presbyters who well conduct themselves shall be worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and in doctrine.
18 Uliru Kutellẹ nworo, ''Na uwa nazu finafe nin nimoli kubi katwa ba,'' tutung ''Unan katuwa uwesu tinonto me.''
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox in the treading out; and, Worthy is the labourer of his hire.
19 Kpada anan su nalapi nbun nanit, ngisine nan lanza fiu.
Against a presbyter an accusation receive not, except on the mouth 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 before all men reprove, that the rest may be afraid.
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 attest thee before Aloha and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha and his elect angels, that thou keep these, (precepts, ) and let not thy mind be pre-occupied by any thing, and do nothing with acceptance of persons.
22 Na uwa tarda unit achara dsddei ba, bara uwa ti acara nan nya kulapin nmong, nafe litife so lau.
The hand suddenly on any man lay not, neither participate in others' sins. Keep thyself in purity.
23 Na uwa so nmyen cas ba, kpina kamyen kagbagbai bara ukonu liburi nin nyeneyi kidowo fe.
And henceforth water drink not, but wine a little drink, on account of thy stomach, and on account of thy constant infirmities.
24 Alapi na mong anit di kanang, idin cinu nbun udu kitin shara, among dorto kidung.
THERE are men whose sins are known, and they precede them to the place of judgment; and there are whose (sins) go after them.
25 Nanere tutun nituwa nicine di kanang, ni nin nanẹ wang na ni nyeshi ba.
So also good men are known; and those who are otherwise cannot be hid.
