¹Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

¹Ane mpotudui' -ko tauna to meliu umuru-ra ngkai iko, neo' karapo' rahi. Agina nupoka'olu lolita-nu mpo'apui nono-ra, nuponcawa tuama-nu moto. Kabilasa nuponcawa ompi' -nu.

²The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

²Tobine to meliu umuru-ra ngkai iko nuponcawa tina-nu. Pai' tobine to mongura ngkai iko nuponcawa tu'ai-nu, pai' pelompehi bona moroli' gau' -nu pai' pekiri-nu.

³Honour widows that are widows indeed.

³Ane ria tobine to balu mpu'u, to uma mpu'u ria to mpewili' -ra, ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta kana mpewili' -ra-rawo.

⁴But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

⁴Aga ane tobalu to ria moto-ki ana' -na ba kumpu-na, ana' pai' kumpu-na toe-ramo to lomo' -lomo' -na kana ratudui' mpewili' -i, bona mpohiwili kehi totu'a-ra. Apa' toe-mi to mpakagoe' nono Alata'ala.

⁵Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

⁵Ane tobine to balu mpu'u, batua-na uma hema to mpewili' -i, ncarumaka Alata'ala-i-wadi, hina'eo hinamengi mosampaya-i mekakae hi Alata'ala.

⁶But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

⁶Aga tobalu to mpali' kagoea' -ra-wadi, hewa to mate-mi kao' -ra nau' tuwu' -ra-pidi.

⁷And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

⁷Parata-raka hawa' -ku toi, bona uma kasalaia' kehi-ra.

⁸But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

⁸Apa' ane ria tauna to mpo'uli' mepangala' -i hi Alata'ala, tapi' uma-i mpewili' totu'a-na pai' tauna to hi rala tomi-na moto, kehi-na toe mposapuaka pepangala' -na, meliu kada'a-na ngkai tauna to uma mepangala' hi Alata'ala.

⁹Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.

⁹Tobalu to ma'ala rapopesua' hanga' -ra hi rala buku tobalu, muntu' to hewa toi: umuru-ra uma kura' ngkai ono mpulu' mpae, motomanei hangkani-ra-wadi.

¹⁰Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

¹⁰Kana to monoto kalompe' gau' -ra, rapa' -na: mpewili' lompe' ana' -ra, jole' mpopehani toliu, mpotulungi ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ra, mpojampangi tauna to hi rala kasusaa', pai' biasa mpobabehi butu nyala pobago to lompe'. Tobalu to hewa toe-mi to natao rapewili' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa'.

¹¹But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

¹²Ane tobalu ngkanguraa, neo' ulu ra'uki' hanga' -ra hi rala buku tobalu. Apa' ane ria-pidi hina-ra doko' motomanei, bate motomanei-ra mpai'. Ka'omea-na masala' -ramo apa' mpotiboki-ra pojanci-ra hi Kristus wengi to mpo'uli' kampobago-ra bago Pue' -wadi.

¹²Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

¹³Jadi', ane mongura-ra-pidi, neo' ra'uki' hanga' -ra hi rala buku tobalu. Apa' mengkalose-ra-wadi mpai', pai' ntora kakancua' -ncua' hi tomi doo. Pai' uma muntu' lose-ra, topotau' lolita wo'o-ra, doko' mpogalo urusia doo, pai' ntora mpololita lolita to uma natao ralolita.

¹³And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

¹⁴Toe pai' ku'uli' tobalu ngkanguraa agina motomanei lau-ra-rawo, mo'anai', pai' mpewili' lompe' tauna to hi rala tomi-ra, bona neo' mpai' ria ohea bali' -ta mpotuntui' -ta to mpotuku' Kristus.

¹⁴I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

¹⁵Pai' -a mpo'uli' hewa toe, apa' ria-ramo tobalu to uma-pi mpotuku' konoa Kristus, mpotuku' konoa Magau' Anudaa' -ramo.

¹⁵For some are already turned aside after Satan.

¹⁶Ane ria to Kristen, pai' ria posantina-ra to balu, agina hira' toe-mi to mpewili' -i. Uma-hawo ohea-na ane hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta kana mpewili' tobalu toe. Apa' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta kana mpewili' tobalu to balu mpu'u, to uma hema to mpewili' -ra.

¹⁶If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

¹⁷Pangkeni agama to lompe' pompakeni-ra, toto-na lia-ra rawai' gaji' rongkani lau kawori' -na ngkai tau ntani' -na, peliu-liu-nami pangkeni to metudui' pai' mpoparata Lolita Pue'.

¹⁷Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

¹⁸Apa' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' te'uki' hewa toi: "Japi to rapopobago mpotodu gandum, neo' ramumu' nguju-ra, pelele' moto-ra ngkuku' ngkalako'." Pai' te'uki' wo'o: "Topobago masipato' rawai' gaji' -ra."

¹⁸For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

¹⁹Ane ria pangkeni agama to rapakilu, neo' ncaliu nutarima pepakilu toe. Sampale ane rasabii' rodua ba tolu tauna, pai' lako' nutarima.

¹⁹Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

²⁰Ane ria mpu'u sala' -na, paresai' -i hi nyanyoa hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa', bona me'eka' -ra mpotuku' gau' -na.

²⁰Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

²¹Kuparesai' mpu'u-ko Timotius, bona nutuku' hawe'ea hawa' -ku toi, neo' -ko mpelence tauna, neo' mopahamalia. Alata'ala pai' Kristus Yesus moto mpotiroi-ta, nte mala'eka-na to moroli'!

²¹I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

²²Neo' nusosai mpo'ongko' tauna jadi' pangkeni agama, nee-neo' mpai' iko lau-mi to rakahurui ane mpobabehi-ra jeko'. Nuparesa' ulu kehi-ra, pai' lako' nudampa pale-nu hi tanuana' -ra mpo'ongko' -ra jadi' pangkeni agama. Pelompehi bona moroli' oa' po'ingku-nu.

²²Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

²³Neo' -ko nginu ue nonto-wadi. Agina nugaloi anggur hangkedi', apa' mpo'ingai' ta'i-nu to jolia peda'.

²³Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

²⁴Tauna hantongo', nau' ko'ia rapohurai kara-kara-ra, incana ami' -mi jeko' -ra. Aga tauna hantongo' wo'o, sampale ra'inca jeko' -ra ane oti-pi rapohurai kara-kara-ra.

²⁴Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

²⁵Wae wo'o, ria tauna to monoto lia kalompe' kehi-ra. Pai' ria wo'o to uma incana hi doo kehi-ra to lompe', aga na'inca oa' Pue' kehi-ra to lompe' toe.

²⁵Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
