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.

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

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.

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

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

³Honor widows that are widows indeed.

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.

⁴But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

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.

⁵Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

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

⁶But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth.

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

⁷These things also command, that they may be without reproach.

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.

⁸But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

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.

⁹Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man,

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'.

¹⁰well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints' feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.

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.

¹¹But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;

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.

¹²having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.

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.

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

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

¹⁴I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:

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.

¹⁵for already some are turned aside after Satan.

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'.

¹⁶If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed.

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."

¹⁷Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

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

¹⁸For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire.

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

¹⁹Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses.

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'!

²⁰Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

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.

²¹I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

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

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

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.

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

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.

²⁴Some men's sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after.

²⁵In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
