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

¹Guiçon ancianoa ezteçala dorpequi reprehendi, baina ezhorta eçac aita beçala: gazteac, anayeac beçala:

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

²Emazte çaharrac, amác beçala: gazteac, arrebác beçala castitate gucirequin.

³Honor widows who are widows indeed.

³Emazte alhargunac ohoraitzac, eguiazqui alhargun diradenac.

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.

⁴Baina baldin cembeit emazte alhargunec haourric, edo ilobassoric badu, ikas beçate lehenic berén etche proprira pietateren eracusten, eta burhassoetara ordainaren rendatzen: ecen haour duc on eta placent Iaincoaren aitzinean.

⁵Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

⁵Bada eguiazqui alhargun denac eta bera azquendu içan denac sperança dic Iaincoa baithan, eta perseueratzen dic othoitzetan eta orationetan gau eta egun.

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

⁶Baina deliciosqui vici dena, viciric hila duc.

⁷Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.

⁷Gauça hauc bada denuntiaitzac, irreprehensible diradençát.

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.

⁸Eta baldin edoceinec beréz eta principalqui etchecoéz artharic ezpadu, fedeaz vkatu dic, eta duc infidela baino gaichtoago.

⁹Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

⁹Emazte alharguna hauta bedi ez hiruroguey vrthe baino gutiagotacoa, senhar baten emazte içana:

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.

¹⁰Obra onetan testimoniage duena: eya haourrac haci dituenez, eya estrangerac alogeatu dituenez, eya sainduén oinac ikuci dituenez, eya affligituac aiutatu dituenez, eya obra on orori ardura iarreiqui içan çayonez.

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

¹¹Baina alhargun gazteagoac refusaitzac: ecen bridá largatu dutenean Christen contra, ezcondu nahi dituc:

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

¹²Bere condemnationea dutelaric, ceren bere lehen fedea iraitzi vkan baituté.

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.

¹³Eta guehiago, alfer egoile-ere diradelaric ikasten dié etchez etche ebilten: eta eztituc solament alfer egoile, baina edasle-ere, eta curioso, behar eztiraden gaucéz dadassatelaric.

¹⁴I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.

¹⁴Nahi diat bada gazteac ezcon ditecen, haour daguiten, etchea goberna deçaten, occasioneric batre etsayari eztemoten gaizqui erraiteco.

¹⁵For already some have turned aside after Satan.

¹⁵Ecen ia baztu itzuli içan dituc Satanen ondoan.

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.

¹⁶Baldin edocein fidelec edo cembeit fidelsac baditu emazte alhargunac, aiuta bitza hec, eta eztadin carga Eliçá, eguiazqui alhargun diradenén asco dençát.

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

¹⁷Vngui presiditzen duten Ancianoac ohore doblaren digne estima bitez: principalqui hitzean eta doctrinán trabaillatzen diradenac.

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

¹⁸Ecen Scripturác erraiten dic, Idi bihitzen ari denari eztraucac ahoa lothuren. Eta, Languilea bere sariaren digne da.

¹⁹Don’t receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.

¹⁹Ancianoaren contra accusationeric ezteçála recebi biga edo hirur testimonioren azpian baicen.

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

²⁰Bekatu eguiten dutenac, gucién aitzinean reprehenditzac, berceac-ere baldur diradençát.

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.

²¹Requeritzen aut Iaincoaren eta Iesus Christ Iaunaren eta Aingueru elegituén aitzinean, gauça hauc beguira ditzán, bata berceari preferitu gabe: deus eguiten eztuala alde batera makurtuz.

²²Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men’s sins. Keep yourself pure.

²²Escuac eztietzoala nehori bertan eçar, eta ezteçála communica berceren bekatuetan, eure buruä pur beguireçac.

²³Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

²³Hemendic harát ezteçála vric edan, baina mahatsarno gutibatez vsat eçac, eure estomacagatic, eta eure eritassun vssuacgatic.

²⁴Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.

²⁴Guiçon batzuén bekatuac aitzinean agueri dituc, eta aitzinean dihoaçac condemnationetan: eta batzuey ondoan-ere iarreiquiten ciaiztec.

²⁵In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

²⁵Halaber obra onac-ere aitzinean agueri dituc: eta bercelaco diraden obrác, ecin estal daitezquec.
