1 Timothy 5
1 Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;
Utanokkalalili mwaalumi mupati. Aboobo, komunyampula mbuli mukuti ngundeende. Kobanyampula baalumi banini mbuli bakulana,
2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
banakazi bapati mbuli mamama, alimwi basimbi banini mbuli bachizi, mubusalali boonse.
3 Honour widows who are widows indeed.
Lemeka bamukabafu, bamukabafu banchoonzyo.
4 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.
Pesi kuti mukamufu kali aabana na bazukulu, ngabatangune lwabo kwiiya kutondezya kulemeka mun'anda yabo beni. Ngababweedezezye bazyali babo nkaambo eechi chilbotezya kuli Leza.
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.
Pesi kulooyo mukamufu wanchoonzyo, uucheede kali alike, ubikide bulangilizi bwakwe kuliLeza akwwinkilila kunembo mukuchita nkumbizyo alimwi akupa nkombyo mansiku a sikati.
6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
Nikubaboobo, mwanakazi uupona chakulikondelezya ulifwide nikuba kachipona.
7 Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.
Mubululami layilila eezi lubo, kuchitila kuti batabi amulandu.
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.
Pesi na umwi katakonzyi kupa banzubo zyakwe, kapati kuli aabo bamun'anda yakwe, unoli wakaka lusyomo alimwi wabija kwiinda utasyomi.
9 Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
Leka mwanakazi alembwe mbuli mukamufu utali munini kuminyaka iili makkumi aali musanu alimwi kukomena, kali mwanakazi wa mulumi uumwi.
10 being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the holy ones’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.
Uli aampuwo yakuchita milimu mibotu, nikuba kuti wakabambide bana, na wakali kusamawusya beenzu, na wali kusanzya mawulu aabasalali baLeza, na wakalikulemutuzya bali aamapenzi, na wakalilipedelede kumilimu yoonse mibotu.
11 But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Messiah, they desire to marry,
Pesi kuli bamukabafu bachili banini, kaka kubalemba mulibamwi. Nkaambo elyo bakuzundwa kuziyandisyo zyanyama kukubukila Kkilisito bayanda kukkwatwa.
12 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
Muliyeeyi nzila bayojana milandu nkaambo banoli bakachilwa mukulipeda kwabo kutaanzi.
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.
Muchiindi nchicheecho, bayoyiya kuba bakandu akweenda chakuzyunguluka kuzwa kun'anda akun'anda. Tabakoyooba bakandu biyo pe, pesi bayowambuula zitakwe munse akunjila zyaambo zyabamwi, kabaamba zintu nzibateelede kwaamba.
14 I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.
Nkinkaako ndiyanda banakazi banini kuti bakkwatwe kuti bazyale bana, kuti babambe mpuli, alimwi akutapa mweenya kuli sinkondonyina kuti atwaambe bubi.
15 For already some have turned away after Satan.
Mbuli bamwi mbubakabwedela kuli Satani.
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.
Na kuti kakuli mwanakazi musyomi uli abamukabafu, ngabagwasye, kuchitila kuti imbungano itabi aamukuli, kuti igwasizye bamukabafu banchoonzyo.
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and in teaching.
Leka bapati bembungano beendelezya kabotu bapegwe bulemu bwiindulwidwe, kwaambisya aabo babeleka ajwi alimwi amukuyiisya.
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The labourer is worthy of his wages.”
Mbuli makani mabotu mbawamba kuti, “Utamwaangi kumulomo musune aawo nachilyatila zilyo” alimwi “Similimu uleelede kujana mpindu yakwe.”
19 Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.
Utatambuli kubejelezya kwiiminana abapati, adukuti kube babili na batatu bapa bukamboni.
20 Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
Lulamika basizibi kunembo lyabantu boonse kuchitila kuti bamwi bayowe.
21 I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Mubululami ndakulayilila iwe, kunembo lyaLeza aJesu Kkilisito akubangelo basale, kukubamba malayilile chakutabasikusaluuzya, akutachita chimwi chintu chakuteelanya.
22 Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
Utabiki maanza chakufwambana aluumwi. Utaabilani muzibi zyawumwi muntu. Weelede kulibamba chabusalali.
23 Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
Tucheelede limbi kunywa manzi. Aboobo, uyeelede kunywa wayini muche kuchitila bula amalwazi aako akkala kakuchisa.
24 Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgement, and some also follow later.
Zibi zyabamwi bantu zilizibikene aantanganana, alimwi zyeenda kunembo lyabo mulubeta. Pesi zibi zimwi zitobela musule.
25 In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.
Mbubonya oobo, imwi milimu mibotu ilizibidwe antaanganana, pesi nikuba imwi tikonzyi kusisigwa.
