1 Timothy 5
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
ulekaghe pikun'dalikila umunhu un'goyo, looli um'bulaghe hwene mpafi ghwako. avadiimi ujovaghe navo hwene vanino.
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
nava vahinja, uvavombelaghe muvunofu vwoni hwene valumbulio.
3 Honor widows who are widows indeed.
uvavulaghe avitiki kuuti, vavatangaghe avakijuuva avafwile avasila lutango.
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.
neke umfwile ghweni juno ali na vaana nambe avisukulu, avuo vamanyilaghe taasi kuvomba sino sinoghile munyumba saave. vavavombelaghe avapafi vaave, ukuo kwekugomosia sino voope vavombilue. kuvomba uluo kwekuno uNguluve ikeela.
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.
umukijuuva umfwile juno naali nu muunhu ughwa kuntanga, ujuo ikumuhuvila uNguluve, ikufuunya na kusuuma ulutango kwa Nguluve pakilo na pamwisi.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
looli umukujuuva umfwile juno ikeela uvunoghekua vwa iisi, ujuo mfue napano ivoneka mwumi.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
soope isio uvavuule avitiki kuuti valeke kupikua.
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.
neke umuunhu ghweni juno naikuvatanga avaanhu vaake, kyonga ava munyumba jaake, ujuo iiva alulekiile ulwitiko, iiva m'biivi kukila umupanji.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
umfwile anoghiile kuuva muvutavike vwa vafwile, nave ali na maaka kutengulila ifijigho ntanda, kange na m'bwafu.”
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.
olekwaghe vunofu, ndavule avisaghe asungile avaana vaake vunofu, atengeliile avagheesi na vitiki, avatangile vano vupumusivua, kange avombile imbombo sooni inofu.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,
looli avafwile avajeela, nungavupilaghe muvutavike, ulwakuva uvunoghelua vwa m'bili vukuvaghighila kukila kukutavula kwa Kilisite, apuo vilondagha kutolua.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
mu uluo viiva vikwingila muvuhighi, ulwakuva vavulekile ulufingo lwave kwa Kilisite, ulwakujigha kisila kutolua kange.
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.
palikimo nuluo, vimanyila uvwolo panovighendaghenda munyumba isa vaanhu. nakwekuti vuvwolo vwene, kange viiva vaheehi na kuhanga mumbombo isa vange, nu vuholiholi na kujova sino nasinoghiile.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
lino, une nikeela avafwile avajeela, vatolwaghe vapapaghe avaana na kulolelela inyumba saave, neke avalugu valeke kukuvajova fivi.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
ulwakuva avafwile vamonga vasovike, vikum'bingilila uSetano.
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.
nave umukijuuva umwitiki ali na vafwile munyumba jaake, avatangaghe, kuuti ulukong'haano luleke kukwangilua. neke ulukong'haano luuva nu vweleefu uvwa kuvatanga avafwile avange avasila lutango.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
avaloleleli va lukong'haano, vano vivomba imbombo vunofu, voghopwaghe na kuhombua vunofu,” kyongo vano vikuhumia kudalikila na kuvulanisia.
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.”
ulwakuva lilembilue muMalembe aMimike kuuti, ulekaghe kukujibunga ing'ombe umulono, pano jisyonda ingano paluvugha. kange lilembilue, um'bomba mbombo anoghiile kuhombua uluhombo lwake.”
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
ulekaghe kukwitika inongua sino sijovua vwimila umuloleleli ghwa lukong'haano, kisila vwolesi vwa vaanhu vavili nambe vatatu.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
looli avaloleleli vano vifihoka amakole, uvadalikilaghe pavinga, kuuti avange voghopaghe.
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.
nikukulaghila pamaso gha Nguluve, na pamaso gha Yeesu Kilisite na vanyamhola avasalulua kuuti, ugadililaghe aghuo, ulekaghe kuhigha ng'hani ng'hani kisila kulutang'hinia nambe kutangila lubale.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
nungamwitikisyaghe ng'haning'hani umuunhu pikumwimika pa mbombo ja Mutwa, ulwakuva ungam'biike umuhosi pa mbombo, najuuve ghuuva uhangile amakole ghaake. uve ghulolelelaghe uvwumi vwako, uvisaghe mugholofu.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
kuhuma lino, nunganywisaghe amalenga gheene, looli unywisaghe nu luhuuje ludebe vwimila inhamu jaako ija lileme ni nhamu isingi sino sasikukugasia.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
nungavitikisyaghe ng'hani ng'hani avanhu pa mbombo ja Mutwa, ulwakuva avanhu avange, amakole ghaave, ghali pavuvalafu, ghikuvalongolela kuvuhighi. neke avange, amakole ghaave ghafisiime, ghivoneka pambele.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
enendiki, imbombo inofu sivoneka pavuvalafu, soope sino sifisiime sihanga sivoneke.
