1 Timothy 5
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
tva. m praaciina. m na bhartsaya kintu ta. m pitaramiva yuuna"sca bhraat. rniva
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
v. rddhaa. h striya"sca maat. rniva yuvatii"sca puur. na"sucitvena bhaginiiriva vinayasva|
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
apara. m satyavidhavaa. h sammanyasva|
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.
kasyaa"scid vidhavaayaa yadi putraa. h pautraa vaa vidyante tarhi te prathamata. h sviiyaparijanaan sevitu. m pitro. h pratyupakarttu nca "sik. santaa. m yatastadeve"svarasya saak. saad uttama. m graahya nca karmma|
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.
apara. m yaa naarii satyavidhavaa naathahiinaa caasti saa ii"svarasyaa"sraye ti. s.thantii divaani"sa. m nivedanapraarthanaabhyaa. m kaala. m yaapayati|
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
kintu yaa vidhavaa sukhabhogaasaktaa saa jiivatyapi m. rtaa bhavati|
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
ataeva taa yad aninditaa bhaveyuustadartham etaani tvayaa nidi"syantaa. m|
8 But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
yadi ka"scit svajaatiiyaan lokaan vi"se. sata. h sviiyaparijanaan na paalayati tarhi sa vi"svaasaad bhra. s.to. apyadhama"sca bhavati|
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
vidhavaavarge yasyaa ga. nanaa bhavati tayaa. sa. s.tivatsarebhyo nyuunavayaskayaa na bhavitavya. m; apara. m puurvvam ekasvaamikaa bhuutvaa
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.

11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
kintu yuvatii rvidhavaa na g. rhaa. na yata. h khrii. s.tasya vaipariityena taasaa. m darpe jaate taa vivaaham icchanti|
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
tasmaacca puurvvadharmma. m parityajya da. n.daniiyaa bhavanti|
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.

14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
ato mameccheya. m yuvatyo vidhavaa vivaaha. m kurvvataam apatyavatyo bhavantu g. rhakarmma kurvvataa ncettha. m vipak. saaya kimapi nindaadvaara. m na dadatu|
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
yata ita. h puurvvam api kaa"scit "sayataanasya pa"scaadgaaminyo jaataa. h|
16 If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.
apara. m vi"svaasinyaa vi"svaasino vaa kasyaapi parivaaraa. naa. m madhye yadi vidhavaa vidyante tarhi sa taa. h pratipaalayatu tasmaat samitau bhaare. anaaropite satyavidhavaanaa. m pratipaalana. m karttu. m tayaa "sakyate|
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
ye praa nca. h samiti. m samyag adhiti. s.thanti vi"se. sata ii"svaravaakyenopade"sena ca ye yatna. m vidadhate te dvigu. nasyaadarasya yogyaa maanyantaa. m|
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.”
yasmaat "saastre likhitamidamaaste, tva. m "sasyamarddakav. r.sasyaasya. m maa badhaaneti, aparamapi kaaryyak. rd vetanasya yogyo bhavatiiti|
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
dvau triin vaa saak. si. no vinaa kasyaacit praaciinasya viruddham abhiyogastvayaa na g. rhyataa. m|
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
apara. m ye paapamaacaranti taan sarvve. saa. m samak. sa. m bhartsayasva tenaapare. saamapi bhiiti rjani. syate|
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.

22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.

23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
ke. saa ncit maanavaanaa. m paapaani vicaaraat puurvva. m ke. saa ncit pa"scaat prakaa"sante|
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
