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.

¹Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;

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 who 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 has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is TR adds “good and” 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 desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

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

⁶But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.

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

⁷Also command these things, 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 anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has 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 no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty 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'.

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.

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 refuse younger widows, for when they have grown 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.

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.

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, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.

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 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.

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 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 says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” Deuteronomy 25:4 And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” Luke 10:7; Leviticus 19:13

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

¹⁹Don’t receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word 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'!

²⁰Those who 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 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.

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

²²Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men’s sins. Keep yourself 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 only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent 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, 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.
