1 Timoteo 5

1Huwag mong pagwikaan ang matanda, kundi pangaralan mo siyang tulad sa ama; ang mga kabataang lalake na tulad sa mga kapatid: 2Ang mga babaing matatanda na tulad sa mga ina; at ang mga kabataang babae na tulad sa mga kapatid na babae sa buong kalinisan. 3Papurihan mo ang mga babaing bao na tunay na bao. 4Nguni't kung ang sinomang babaing bao ay may mga anak o mga apo, magsipagaral ang mga ito muna ng pamamahalang may kabanalan sa kanilang sariling sangbahayan, at magsiganti sa kanilang mga magulang: sapagka't ito'y nakalulugod sa paningin ng Dios. 5Kaya't ang tunay na babaing bao at walang nagaampon, ay may pagasa sa Dios, at nananatili sa mga pagdaing at mga panalangin gabi't araw. 6Datapuwa't ang nangagpapakabuyo sa mga kalayawan, bagama't buhay ay patay. 7Ang mga bagay na ito'y iutos mo rin naman, upang sila'y mawalan ng kapintasan. 8Datapuwa't kung ang sinoman ay hindi nagkakandili sa mga sariling kaniya, lalong lalo na sa kaniyang sariling sangbahayan, ay tumanggi siya sa pananampalataya at lalong masama kay sa hindi sumasampalataya. 9Huwag itala na gaya ng babaing bao samantalang walang anim na pung taon, na naging asawa ng isang lalake, 10Na may mabuting patotoo tungkol sa mabubuting gawa; kung siya'y nagalaga sa mga anak, kung siya'y nagpatuloy sa mga taga ibang bayan, kung siya'y naghugas ng mga paa ng mga banal, kung siya'y umabuloy sa mga napipighati, kung ginanap niya na may kasipagan ang bawa't mabuting gawa. 11Nguni't tanggihan mo ang mga batang babaing bao: sapagka't pagkakaroon nila ng masamang pita na hiwalay kay Cristo, ay nagsisipagnasang magasawa; 12Na nagkakaroon ng kahatulan, sapagka't itinakuwil nila ang unang pananampalataya. 13At bukod dito ay nangagaaral din naman na maging mga tamad, na nagpapalipatlipat sa bahay-bahay; at hindi lamang mga tamad, kundi matatabil din naman at mga mapakialam, na nagsisipagsalita ng mga bagay na di nararapat. 14Ibig ko ngang magsipagasawa ang mga batang babaing bao, magsipanganak, magsipamahala ng sangbahayan, huwag magbigay sa kaaway ng anomang pagkadahilanan ng ikalilibak: 15Sapagka't ang mga iba'y nagsibaling na sa hulihan ni Satanas. 16Kung ang sinomang babaing nanampalataya ay may inaampong mga babaing bao, ay umabuloy sa kanila, at huwag pabigatan ang iglesia, upang maabuluyan nito ang mga tunay na bao. 17Ang mga matanda na nagsisipamahalang mabuti ay ariing may karapatan sa ibayong kapurihan, lalong lalo na ang mga nangagpapagal sa salita at sa pagtuturo. 18Sapagka't sinasabi ng kasulatan, Huwag mong lalagyan ng busal ang baka pagka gumigiik. At, ang nagpapagal ay karapatdapat sa kaupahan sa kaniya. 19Laban sa matanda ay huwag kang tatanggap ng sumbong, maliban sa dalawa o tatlong saksi. 20Sila na mga nagkakasala ay paalalahanan mo sa harapan ng lahat upang ang iba nama'y mangatakot. 21Pinagbibilinan kita sa paningin ng Dios, at ni Cristo Jesus, at ng mga anghel na hinirang, na iyong ganapin ang mga bagay na ito na walang pagtatangi na huwag mong gagawin ang anomang pagayo. 22Huwag mong ipatong na madalian ang iyong mga kamay sa kanino man, ni huwag kang makaramay sa mga kasalanan ng iba: ingatan mong malinis ang iyong sarili. 23Huwag kang iinom pa ng tubig lamang, kundi gumamit ka ng kaunting alak dahil sa iyong sikmura at sa iyong madalas na pagkakasakit. 24Ang mga kasalanan ng ilang tao ay hayag na, na nagsisipanguna sa paghukom: at ang ilang mga tao naman ay kanilang sinusundan. 25Gayon din naman ang mabubuting gawa ay hayag: at ang mga di gayo'y hindi maaaring ilihim.

1Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers; 2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. 3Honor widows who are widows indeed. 4But 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. 5Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day. 6But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives. 7Also command these things, that they may be without reproach. 8But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. 9Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, 10being 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. 11But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 12having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. 13Besides, 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. 14I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting. 15For already some have turned aside after Satan. 16If 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. 17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. 18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19Don’t receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses. 20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 21I command you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 22Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men’s sins. Keep yourself pure. 23Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities. 24Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. 25In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

1Bestraf een ouden man niet hardelijk, maar vermaan hem als een vader; de jonge als broeders; 2De oude vrouwen als moeders; de jonge als zusters, in alle reinheid. 3Eer de weduwen, die waarlijk weduwen zijn. 4Maar zo enige weduwe kinderen heeft, of kindskinderen, dat die leren eerst aan hun eigen huis godzaligheid oefenen, en den voorouderen wedervergelding te doen; want dat is goed en aangenaam voor God. 5Die nu waarlijk weduwe is, en alleen gelaten, die hoopt op God, en blijft in smekingen en gebeden nacht en dag. 6Maar die haar wellust volgt, die is levende gestorven. 7En beveel dit, opdat zij onberispelijk zijn. 8Doch zo iemand de zijnen, en voornamelijk zijn huisgenoten, niet verzorgt, die heeft het geloof verloochend, en is erger dan een ongelovige. 9Dat een weduwe gekozen worde niet minder dan van zestig jaren, welke eens mans vrouw geweest zij; 10Getuigenis hebbende van goede werken: zo zij kinderen opgevoed heeft, zo zij gaarne heeft geherbergd, zo zij der heiligen voeten heeft gewassen, zo zij den verdrukten genoegzame hulp gedaan heeft, zo zij alle goed werk nagetracht heeft. 11Maar neem de jonge weduwen niet aan; want als zij weelderig geworden zijn tegen Christus, zo willen zij huwelijken; 12Hebbende haar oordeel, omdat zij haar eerste geloof hebben te niet gedaan. 13En meteen ook leren zij ledig omgaan bij de huizen; en zijn niet alleen ledig, maar ook klapachtig, en ijdele dingen doende, sprekende, hetgeen niet betaamt. 14Ik wil dan, dat de jonge weduwen huwelijken, kinderen telen, het huis regeren, geen oorzaak van lastering aan de wederpartij geven. 15Want enigen hebben zich alrede afgewend achter den satan. 16Zo enig gelovig man, of gelovige vrouw weduwen heeft, dat die haar genoegzame hulp doe, en dat de Gemeente niet bezwaard worde, opdat zij degenen, die waarlijk weduwen zijn, genoegzame hulp doen moge. 17Dat de ouderlingen, die wel regeren, dubbele eer waardig geacht worden, voornamelijk die arbeiden in het Woord en de leer. 18Want de Schrift zegt: Een dorsenden os zult gij niet muilbanden; en: De arbeider is zijn loon waardig. 19Neem tegen een ouderling geen beschuldiging aan, anders dan onder twee of drie getuigen. 20Bestraf die zondigen in tegenwoordigheid van allen, opdat ook de anderen vreze mogen hebben. 21Ik betuig voor God, en den Heere Jezus Christus, en de uitverkoren engelen, dat gij deze dingen onderhoudt, zonder vooroordeel, niets doende naar toegenegenheid. 22Leg niemand haastelijk de handen op, en heb geen gemeenschap aan anderer zonden; bewaar uzelven rein. 23Drink niet langer water alleen, maar gebruik een weinig wijn, om uw maag en uw menigvuldige zwakheden. 24Van sommige mensen zijn de zonden te voren openbaar, en gaan voor tot hun veroordeling; en in sommigen ook volgen zij na. 25Desgelijks ook de goede werken zijn te voren openbaar, en daar het anders mede gelegen is, kunnen niet verborgen worden.
