I Timothy 5

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

Pa fè granmoun gason yo repwòch twò di. Pale ak yo tankou ou ta pale ak papa ou. Aji ak jenn jan yo tankou si yo te frè ou;

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

ak granmoun fanm yo, tankou si yo te manman ou; ak jenn fi yo, tankou si yo te sè ou, san okenn move lide.

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

Pran swen vèv ki vèv tout bon yo.

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.

Men, si yon vèv gen pitit, osinon pitit pitit, se pou pitit yo aprann fè tout devwa Bondye mande yo fè pou pwòp fanmi yo anvan. Konsa, y'a fè tou sa yo dwe fè pou papa yo, manman yo ak granparan yo. Se sa ki pou fè Bondye plezi.

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

Yon fanm ki vèv tout bon, ki pa gen pesonn pou okipe l', li mete tout espwa li nan Bondye, l'ap lapriyè tout tan, l'ap mande l' konkou lajounen kou lannwit.

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

Men, yon vèv ki lage kò l' nan plezi, se yon vèv ki mouri, menm si l' vivan toujou.

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

Men sa pou ou moutre yo, pou pesonn pa jwenn okenn repwòch pou fè yo.

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.

Si yon moun pa pran swen fanmi l', sitou moun k'ap viv lakay li, li nye konfyans li nan Bondye, li pi mal pase yon moun ki pa janm kwè nan Bondye.

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

Pa mete okenn vèv sou lis toutotan li pa gen swasantan. Epi, se pou l' te marye yon sèl fwa.

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.

Se pou tout moun konnen tou sa li te fè ki byen: tankou si li elve pitit li yo byen, si l' konn resevwa moun byen lakay li, si l' konn lave pye moun pèp Bondye a, si l' ede malere yo, si l' fè tout lòt kalite byen.

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

Men, pa mete okenn vèv ki poko gen laj sa a sou lis. Paske, lè anvi a pran yo pou yo marye, yo vire do bay Kris la.

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

Lè konsa yo vin antò, paske yo pa kenbe premye pwomès yo te fè l' la.

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.

Apre sa, yo pran abitid pèdi tan yo ap mache pòt an pòt. Sa ki pi rèd ankò, yo vin tripòt, fouyapòt. Y'ap foure bouch yo nan sa ki pa gade yo.

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

Se poutèt sa, mwen ta pito wè jenn vèv yo marye pou yo ka gen pitit, pou yo sa okipe kay yo. Konsa, yo p'ap bay lènmi nou yo chans pale nou mal.

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

Paske, gen vèv ki vire do yo deja, y'ap swiv Satan.

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.

Men, si yon fanm ki gen lafwa gen yon vèv nan fanmi l', se pou l' ede l', pou l' pa kite l' sou kont legliz la, pou legliz la ka ede vèv ki nan nesesite tout bon yo.

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

Kanta chèf reskonsab yo k'ap dirije legliz la byen, se pou yo resevwa yon lajan doub, sitou ansyen k'ap bay tout tan yo pou bay pawòl la ak pou fè enstriksyon moun yo.

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

Se sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Pa mare bouch bèf la lè l'ap fè moulen kann lan mache. Ou ankò: Moun ki travay fèt pou resevwa lajan travay li.

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

Pa kite pesonn vin pote plent pou yon chèf reskonsab, esepte si moun lan gen de osinon twa temwen avè li.

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

Se pou ou fè moun ki fè peche yo repwòch devan tout moun. Konsa, lòt yo va pè.

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.

Devan Bondye, devan Jezikri, devan tout zanj k'ap viv pou Bondye yo, men sa m'ap mande ou: swiv lòd sa yo san fè ni patipri ni moun pa nan tou sa w'ap fè.

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

Pa prese mete men sou tèt yon moun pou ba l' yon chaj nan legliz la. Pa mele nan peche okenn moun. Evite tou sa ki mal.

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

Ak maladi lestonmak ou a, sispann bwè dlo sèlman. Bwè ti diven tou pou ede ou fè dijesyon.

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

Gen moun, anvan menm ou jije yo, ou gen tan wè tout peche yo aklè konsa. Gen lòt menm, se lontan apre ou wè sa yo fè ki mal.

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

Konsa tou, tout byen yon moun fè gen pou parèt aklè, menm sa ou pa wè lapoula. Yo pa ka rete kache.
