¹An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;

¹Nin waayeel ah ha canaanan, laakiin u waani sida aabbe oo kale; dhallinyaradana u waani sida walaalo oo kale;

²aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters — in all purity;

²habrahana sida hooyooyin oo kale u waani, naagaha dhallintayarna sida walaalo oo kale, adigoo daahir ah.

³honour widows who are really widows;

³Maamuus carmallada runta ah oo nimankoodii ka dhinteen,

⁴and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

⁴laakiin haddii naag carmal ahu carruur leedahay ama carruurteedu ay carruur leedahay, iyagu marka hore ha barteen inay dadkooda si cibaado leh kula macaamiloodaan, waalidkoodna u cawilceliyaan, waayo taasu way wanaagsan tahay, waana mid Ilaah aqbali karo.

⁵And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

⁵Waayo, tii carmal run ah oo cidlootay, waxay rajo ku leedahay Ilaah, habeen iyo maalinna baryada iyo tukashada way sii waddaa.

⁶and she who is given to luxury, living — hath died;

⁶Laakiin tii raaxaysi u noolaataa waa meyd intay nooshahay.

⁷and these things charge, that they may be blameless;

⁷Waxyaalahan ku amar inay ceeb la'aadaan.

⁸and if any one for his own — and especially for those of the household — doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

⁸Laakiin qof hadduusan dadkiisa dhaqaalayn, khusuusan kuwa gurigiisa jooga, kaasu iimaankuu ka hor yimid, wuuna ka sii liitaa mid aan rumaysanayn.

⁹A widow — let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,

⁹Ha la qoro carmal aan lixdan sannadood ka yarayn oo nin keliya naag u ahaan jirtay,

¹⁰in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints` feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

¹⁰oo loogu marag furay inay shuqullo wanaagsan samaysay, hadday carruur korisay, hadday shisheeyaha marti soori jirtay, hadday quduusiinta cagaha u maydhay, hadday kuwii dhibaataysnaa u gargaartay, hadday shuqul kasta oo wanaagsan aad ugu dadaashay.

¹¹and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,

¹¹Laakiinse carmallada dhallintayar diid, waayo, markay qooqaan ayay ka jeestaan Masiixa, oo waxay doonayaan inay guursadaan.

¹²having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,

¹²Iimaankoodii hore way naceen, oo sidaas daraaddeed waa la xukumay.

¹³and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;

¹³Waxay kaloo weliba bartaan inay caajisiin noqdaan, iyagoo iska wareegaya oo guriba guri uga baxaya; caajisiin oo keliyana ma ahaye, weliba way warsheeko badan yihiin, oo axwaalka dadka kalena way faraggeliyaan, iyagoo ku hadlaya waxyaalo aan waajib ku ahayn.

¹⁴I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

¹⁴Haddaba waxaan doonayaa inay carmallada dhallintayaru guursadaan, oo carruur dhalaan, oo gurigooda u taliyaan, oo ayan cadowga isu jebin inuu caayo.

¹⁵for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.

¹⁵Waayo, hadda ka hor qaar baa xagga Shayddaanka u leexday.

¹⁶If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.

¹⁶Haddii naag rumaysanu ay leedahay carmallo ha u gargaarto iyaga, oo kiniisadda yaan la culaysin, si ay u gargaarto kuwa carmallada runta ah.

¹⁷The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

¹⁷Waayeellada si wanaagsan wax ugu taliya ha lagu tiriyo kuwo istaahila in labanlaab loo maamuuso, khusuusan kuwa ku hawshooda waxwacdinta iyo waxbaridda.

¹⁸for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,` and `Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.`

¹⁸Waayo, Qorniinku wuxuu leeyahay, Waa inaadan dibiga af xidhin markuu sarreenka burburinayo. Wuxuu kaloo leeyahay, Shaqaalahu waa istaahilaa abaalgudkiisa.

¹⁹Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.

¹⁹Nin waayeel ah ashtako ha ku qaadin, laba ama saddex qof oo ku markhaati fura mooyaane.

²⁰Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;

²⁰Kuwa dembaaba inta kale oo dhan hortooda ku canaano in kuwa kalena ay cabsadaan.

²¹I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.

²¹Waxaan Ilaah iyo Ciise Masiix iyo malaa'igaha la doortay hortooda kugu waaninayaa inaad waxyaalahan ku dhawrtid eexashola'aan, oo aadan waxba samayn adoo dadka kala jeclaanaya.

²²Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;

²²Ninna gacmaha degdeg ha u saarin, dad kale dembiyadoodana ha ka qayb gelin. Nafsaddaada daahirsanaan ku dhawr.

²³no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;

²³Laakiinse hadda ka dib biyo oo keliya ha cabbin, illowse wuxoogaa yar oo khamri ah u cab calooshaada iyo cudurradaada mararka badan kugu soo noqnoqda daraaddood.

²⁴of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;

²⁴Dadka qarkood dembiyadoodu waa bayaan, oo waxay u hor marayaan xukunka, dadka qaarkoodna kuwoodu way daba socdaan.Sidaas oo kalena waxaa jira shuqullo wanaagsan oo bayaan ah, kuwa aan caynkaas ahaynna lama qarin karo.

²⁵in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.

²⁵Sidaas oo kalena waxaa jira shuqullo wanaagsan oo bayaan ah, kuwa aan caynkaas ahaynna lama qarin karo.
