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 sharply, but exhort [him] as a father, 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.

²elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with 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.

³Honour widows who are really widows;

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 have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to [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 who [is] a widow indeed, and is left alone, has put [her] hope in God, and continues 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 lives in habits of self-indulgence is dead [while] living.

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

⁷And these things enjoin, that they may be irreproachable.

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 one does not provide for his own, and specially for those of [his] house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the 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 a widow be put upon the list, being of not less than sixty years, [having been] 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'.

¹⁰borne witness to in good works, if she have brought up children, if she have exercised hospitality, if she have washed saints' feet, if she have imparted relief to the distressed, if she have 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 decline; for when they grow 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.

¹²being guilty, because they have cast off their first faith.

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, at the same time, they learn also [to be] idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming.

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

¹⁴I will therefore that the younger marry, bear children, rule the house, give no occasion to the adversary in respect of reproach.

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 have 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 believing man or woman have widows, let them impart relief to them, and let not the assembly be charged, that it may impart relief to those [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 who take the lead [among the saints] well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and 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 says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman [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 unless where there are 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'!

²⁰Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have 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 testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour.

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

²²Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' 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.

²³Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.

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.

²⁴Of some men the sins are manifest beforehand, going before to judgment, and some also they follow after.

²⁵In like manner good works also are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise cannot be hid.
