I Timothy 5

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

لاَ تَزْجُرْ شَيْخًا بَلْ عِظْهُ كَأَبٍ، وَالأَحْدَاثَ كَإِخْوَةٍ،

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

وَالْعَجَائِزَ كَأُمَّهَاتٍ، وَالْحَدَثَاتِ كَأَخَوَاتٍ، بِكُلِّ طَهَارَةٍ.

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

أَكْرِمِ الأَرَامِلَ اللَّوَاتِي هُنَّ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ أَرَامِلُ.

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَرْمَلَةٌ لَهَا أَوْلاَدٌ أَوْ حَفَدَةٌ، فَلْيَتَعَلَّمُوا أَوَّلاً أَنْ يُوَقِّرُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِمْ وَيُوفُوا وَالِدِيهِمِ الْمُكَافَأَةَ، لأَنَّ هذَا صَالِحٌ وَمَقْبُولٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ.

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

وَلكِنَّ الَّتِي هِيَ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ وَوَحِيدَةٌ، فَقَدْ أَلْقَتْ رَجَاءَهَا عَلَى اللهِ، وَهِيَ تُواظِبُ الطِّلِبَاتِ وَالصَّلَوَاتِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَارًا.

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

وَأَمَّا الْمُتَنَعِّمَةُ فَقَدْ مَاتَتْ وَهِيَ حَيَّةٌ.

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

فَأَوْصِ بِهذَا لِكَيْ يَكُنَّ بِلاَ لَوْمٍ.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يَعْتَنِي بِخَاصَّتِهِ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَنْكَرَ الإِيمَانَ، وَهُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ.

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

لِتُكْتَتَبْ أَرْمَلَةٌ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عُمْرُهَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً، امْرَأَةَ رَجُل وَاحِدٍ،

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

مَشْهُودًا لَهَا فِي أَعْمَال صَالِحَةٍ، إِنْ تَكُنْ قَدْ رَبَّتِ الأَوْلاَدَ، أَضَافَتِ الْغُرَبَاءَ، غَسَّلَتْ أَرْجُلَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، سَاعَدَتِ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ، اتَّبَعَتْ كُلَّ عَمَل صَالِحٍ.

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

أَمَّا الأَرَامِلُ الْحَدَثَاتُ فَارْفُضْهُنَّ، لأَنَّهُنَّ مَتَى بَطِرْنَ عَلَى الْمَسِيحِ، يُرِدْنَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ،

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

وَلَهُنَّ دَيْنُونَةٌ لأَنَّهُنَّ رَفَضْنَ الإِيمَانَ الأَوَّلَ.

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

وَمَعَ ذلِكَ أَيْضًا يَتَعَلَّمْنَ أَنْ يَكُنَّ بَطَّالاَتٍ، يَطُفْنَ فِي الْبُيُوتِ. وَلَسْنَ بَطَّالاَتٍ فَقَطْ بَلْ مِهْذَارَاتٌ أَيْضًا، وَفُضُولِيَّاتٌ، يَتَكَلَّمْنَ بِمَا لاَ يَجِبُ.

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

فَأُرِيدُ أَنَّ الْحَدَثَاتِ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ وَيَلِدْنَ الأَوْلاَدَ وَيُدَبِّرْنَ الْبُيُوتَ، وَلاَ يُعْطِينَ عِلَّةً لِلْمُقَاوِمِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّتْمِ.

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

فَإِنَّ بَعْضَهُنَّ قَدِ انْحَرَفْنَ وَرَاءَ الشَّيْطَانِ.

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

إِنْ كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنَةٍ أَرَامِلُ، فَلْيُسَاعِدْهُنَّ وَلاَ يُثَقَّلْ عَلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ، لِكَيْ تُسَاعِدَ هِيَ اللَّوَاتِي هُنَّ بِالْحَقِيقَةِ أَرَامِلُ.

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

أَمَّا الشُّيُوخُ الْمُدَبِّرُونَ حَسَنًا فَلْيُحْسَبُوا أَهْلاً لِكَرَامَةٍ مُضَاعَفَةٍ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا الَّذِينَ يَتْعَبُونَ فِي الْكَلِمَةِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ،

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

لأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ يَقُولُ:«لاَ تَكُمَّ ثَوْرًا دَارِسًا»، وَ«الْفَاعِلُ مُسْتَحِق÷ أُجْرَتَهُ».

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

لاَ تَقْبَلْ شِكَايَةً عَلَى شَيْخٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةِ شُهُودٍ.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

اَلَّذِينَ يُخْطِئُونَ وَبِّخْهُمْ أَمَامَ الْجَمِيعِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَاقِينَ خَوْفٌ.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

أُنَاشِدُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ الْمُخْتَارِينَ، أَنْ تَحْفَظَ هذَا بِدُونِ غَرَضٍ، وَلاَ تَعْمَلَ شَيْئًا بِمُحَابَاةٍ.

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

لاَ تَضَعْ يَدًا عَلَى أَحَدٍ بِالْعَجَلَةِ، وَلاَ تَشْتَرِكْ فِي خَطَايَا الآخَرِينَ. اِحْفَظْ نَفْسَكَ طَاهِرًا.

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

لاَ تَكُنْ فِي مَا بَعْدُ شَرَّابَ مَاءٍ، بَلِ اسْتَعْمِلْ خَمْرًا قَلِيلاً مِنْ أَجْلِ مَعِدَتِكَ وَأَسْقَامِكَ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

خَطَايَا بَعْضِ النَّاسِ وَاضِحَةٌ تَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَمَّا الْبَعْضُ فَتَتْبَعُهُمْ.

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

كَذلِكَ أَيْضًا الأَعْمَالُ الصَّالِحَةُ وَاضِحَةٌ، وَالَّتِي هِيَ خِلاَفُ ذلِكَ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُخْفَى.
