1 Timothy 5
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Da nanbi k manboli mani o jakpelo, ama ya pa andi u pali, nani biba yeni; ya paandi u nupaɔngu pala nani i nataani yeni.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
A puociana nani binaa nba yen, b puobidi nani t ninsiaba yeni, l papielem
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
Seln a pakuana yaab n ŋanbi k tie pakuana.
4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
L ya tie k l pakuali pia t bidi lan yaka a yabila ban ñigni k ya pia t ŋandi b diogun, k gɔ ya tiendi b danba ban tund b yaali, k l ma l ŋani u tienu po
5 Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.
Yua tie pakual yeni mɔni, k tie yuan cuo li ba k ta u dindanlik cabi u Tienu k gɔ jaandi, k miadi u tiensugli yieni yen ñiɔgu.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Ama ya pakualo n kpaani dulña ne yenyienu kpe'u ba l ya tie ku fuo.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
Tund'ba mani l bona k ban ji da pia jalgi ba.
8 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.
L ya tie k yua k nanbi k ŋanbi k ŋmagdi o nibi yaabi ŋanbi k tie u diogun ya yaabi, biani u mɔmɔnigaama, yu k bani u Tienu yaali su yen'o.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
K fidi ban yini pua k u tie pakualo wan mɔndik ya pia bina piiluobo k ya tie yua n den kunni ja yendo baba.
10 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.
K yua kul ya bani k u tuona den ŋani k den wlubi tu bidi, k den gaani b canba, k den ŋuudi b nuŋanba taana, k den todi b cicagdanba, k den tiendi tuoŋan buoli kul
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
Ama ŋan yie t pakuabidi, k l ma ya yognu k u ja nianga paadi yenba yen Jesu b ji yi kpaani ban guani k kunni b jabi
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
K ji k cɔlni b cincin-puoni yaali k b den puoni Jesu yeni
13 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.
K baa ji pia tuonli ba yeni, b ji waa yiegi a ñiana ni. L gɔ k tie k b waa fanm - fanma mɔ ka b waa yeni t mayiyuodi yen i tuali, k maadi ya maama k laba.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
L po n cedi k n bua ya pakua bidi n da k kunni b jaba, k ban guani k kunnib jabak mali t bidi, k ŋanbi k kub'ba a dioguni, k da ŋa t ninnanda ya sugdi'ti.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
k l ma pakɔtianba ŋa a sanu yo k ji ŋodi staanni
16 If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
Kreso-yua diogun ya pia a pakuana wani n ji baa tod' ba k lan fidiyaali lan ji da tie tugkpiegli u jaandiogu po, k wani mɔndi fid k todi yaab nanbi k tie pakuana.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
Ya jaandiog liig yaaba nanbi k suani b tuonli k l ŋani b dagdi yeni ban ŋanbi k la b tuonlsel bonŋanli. l nam ŋanbi k nua yaab n tundib niba u Tienu maama
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
kl ma u Tienu Kadaɔgu yedi: ya nua taand' a ka pua i dii, a ji kan pibin u ñɔbu. k l tuonsɔnli dagidi yeni wan ga u tuonsɔn- ŋmapaɔgu.
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Nul ya ba yeni u jaandiogliig yua maama, ŋan da gaa, l ya k tie b lie, b ta yaa ka
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Yaab tundi k biidi nan fu yeb'ba b lieb kul nungn k yaab sieni n ji ya jie.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
n maad'a hal u tienu ne po, hal Yesu kreso po, yeni u tienu malek po, ya cɔnlni min yed'a uaal ne kul, k ba lugdm ba n da ye i siign.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Do not be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
Da yi peli k maandi a nugi nul po, k gɔ da kuandi a nugu nutano biidn. Fin mɔno, Cuo a. ba k ya ye t ŋandin
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
Da ñu miñima baba ka. A ya yi tieni nan nu o damɔngu mɔ waama k lan ya ŋanbdi a tugun k dugni a tugyianu yen po.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
B tianb ya biidi k wuo b wlaama ba k b da buni b buudi mɔno. Ama b tianba yaali yi waagi yo ban t fioli bandi.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
Nani a tuon ŋama n k kluo yeni l gɔ tie yeni k t tuon biidi mɔ kan fidi k wuo ni.
