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

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

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

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

³Honor widows who are widows indeed.

³Maamuus carmallada runta ah oo nimankoodii ka dhinteen,

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.

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.

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

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

⁶Laakiin tii raaxaysi u noolaataa waa meyd intay nooshahay.

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

⁷Waxyaalahan ku amar inay ceeb la'aadaan.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

¹⁵For already some have turned aside after Satan.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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