1 Timotheo 5
1 Wasiga okulundumila omukaruka. Tali umusimbagilishe omwoyo kuti ni esomwana. Nusimbagilishe omwoyo abhasigaji kuti ni bhamula bhanyu.
Do not reprimand an older man, but plead with him as if he were your father. Treat the young men as brothers,
2 Usimbagilishe omwoyo abhagasi abhakokolo kuti nibha nyokomwana, na abhagasi bhanu bhachali kwikula bhabhe kuti bhayala bhanyu kwisima lyona.
the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters — with all purity.
3 Nuyane echibhalo abhagasi abhafwilwa, bhanu bhafwiliwe chimali mali.
Show consideration for widows — I mean those who are really widowed.
4 Nawe omugasi omufwilwa akasanga ali na abhana na abhechukulu, bhasige okwamba bhakole jinu jiile okusakila emisi jebhwe. Bhakakola kutyo abhaliya abhebhusi bhebhwe na bhajaji bhwebhwe, nejo kutyo nijo ejikondelesha Nyamuanga.
but, if a widow has children or grand-children, let them learn to show proper regard for the members of their own family first, and to make some return to their parents; for that is pleasing in God’s sight.
5 Omugasi omusigwa ni unu asigilwe kuluyando wenyele. Omugasi nkoyo ubhwisige bhwaye bhuli ku Nyamuanga. Omwene nsiku jona atulile kwisabhwa no okulembeleja mungeta na mumwisi.
As for the woman who is really widowed and left quite alone, her hopes are fixed on God, and she devotes herself to prayers and supplications night and day.
6 Nolwo jili kutyo, omugasi unu ekaye kwo okunyenyega afuye, nolwo kutyo kalibhata ali muwanga.
But the life of a widow who is devoted to pleasure is a living death.
7 Mbe ulashe amagambo ganu koleleki abhanu bhasiga okwikujula.
Those are the points on which you should dwell, that there may be no call for your censure.
8 Tali omunu akabhula okusakila abhaili bhaye, muno muno abhaika owaye, omunu oyo alemele elikilisha na ni mubhibhi okukila unu atekilisishe.
Any one who fails to provide for his own relations, and especially for those under his own roof, has disowned the Faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Mbe omugasi unu afwiliwe omulume, andikwe muchitabho cha abhasigwa akakingya myaka makumi mukaga, na aliga atwalibhwe na mulume umwi.
A widow, when her name is added to the list, should not be less than sixty years old; she should have been a faithful wife,
10 Na nibhusi bhusi abhe amenyekene ati ebhikolwa bhaye nibhyakisi, achumaga abhana, amo aliga nakumilila abhagenyi, amo aliga nosha amagulu ga abhekilisha, amo asakilaga bhanu bhaliga bhali munyako, hamo aliga nesosha kumulimu gwona gwona ogwekisi.
and be well spoken of for her kind actions. She should have brought up children, have shown hospitality to strangers, have washed the feet of her fellow Christians, have relieved those who were in distress, and devoted herself to every kind of good action.
11 Nawe abhagasi abhafwila bhanu bhachalimo obhuyalakaji, utabhandika mulwandiko lwa abhagasi abhafwila. Kulwokubha bhakanambaalila ejo omubhili okutasikana na Kristo, nibhenda okutwalwa.
But you should exclude the younger widows from the list; for, when they grow restive under the yoke of the Christ, they want to marry,
12 Kunjila eyo abhengila muntambala, okubha abhatambuka okwisosha kwebhwe okwa kubhwambilo.
and so they bring condemnation upon themselves for having broken their previous promise.
13 Na abhengila muntungwa yo obhulenga. Nibheinda inda bhuli nyumba. Itali ati ni bhalenga ala, tali abhabha bhalomi bha abhanu no kwiingisha mumisango ja abhandi.
And not only that, but they learn to be idle as they go about from house to house. Nor are they merely idle, but they also become gossips and busy-bodies, and talk of what they ought not.
14 Kulwejo anye enenda abhagasi bhanu bhachali bhatwalwe, bhebhule abhana, bhombake emisi jebhwe, koleleki chitayana omusoko omwanya ogwo okuchitonganya chikakola ebhibhi.
Therefore I advise young widows to marry, bear children, and attend to their homes, and so avoid giving the enemy an opportunity for scandal.
15 Kulwokubha abhandi bhaindukiye ku Syetani.
There are some who have already left us, to follow Satan.
16 Labha omugasi wona wona omwikilisha ekaye na abhagasi abhafwilwa, mbe nabhasakile, koleleki likanisa lyasiga okukubhwa, koleleki litule okusakila abhasigwa chimwi chimwi.
Any Christian woman, who has relations who are widows, ought to relieve them and not allow them to become a burden to the Church, so that the Church may relieve those widows who are really widowed.
17 Mbe abhakaluka bhanu abhatangasha kisi mubhayane echibhalo kwiya kabhili, muno muno bhanu abhakola emilimu jo okwiyigisha Omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
Those Officers of the Church who fill their office well should be held deserving of especial consideration, particularly those whose work lies in preaching and teaching.
18 Kulwokubha Amandiko agaika ati, “Wasiga okubhoya ing'a omunwa ukasanga niyo nitaja taja obhulo akatungu ka liula,” no omukosi we emilimu jiile okuyanwa omuyelo gwaye.”
The words of Scripture are — ‘Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain.’ and again — ‘The worker is worth his wages.’
19 Wasiga okulamila intongana yo omukaluka ukasanga bhatabhao bhamasaidi bhabhili hamo bhafu.
Do not receive a charge against an Officer of the Church, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses;
20 Nugonye bhanu abhakola ebhibhibhi imbele ya abhejabho koleleki bhanu bhachali okukola kutyo amo bhobhaye.
but rebuke offenders publicly, so that others may take warning.
21 Enikulagilila chimwi imbele ya Nyamuanga, na imbele ya Yesu Kristo, na bhamalaika abhasolwa, ugabhike amalagililo ganu obhutabha na solole yona yona, na utakola musango gwona gwona kwo okusolola.
I charge you solemnly, before God and Christ Jesus and the Chosen Angels, to carry out these directions, unswayed by prejudice, never acting with partiality.
22 Utatelakoga omunu wonawona amabhoko bhwangu bhwangu. Wasiga okwiswasha muchibhibhi cho omunu undi. Jikwiile witunje omwene ubhe wekisi.
Never ordain any one hastily, and take no part in the wrong-doing of others. Keep your life pure.
23 Utanywaga amanji genyele. Ukasiga amanji, unywega nomulamba mutoto kulwa injuno ya inda na amalwaye gawo aga bhuli mwanya.
Do not continue to drink water only, but take a little wine on account of the weakness of your stomach, and your frequent ailments.
24 Ebhibhi bhya abhanu abhandi jili abhwelu na jimenyekene, jelabhileyo mundamu. Nawe ebhibhi ebhindi ebbhisoka inyuma.
There are some men whose sins are conspicuous and lead on to judgment, while there are others whose sins dog their steps.
25 Nikwo kutyo ona, emilimu ejindi ejekisi ejimenyekana bhwangu, nawe nolwo ejindi jitakwiseleka.
In the same way noble deeds become conspicuous, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
