1 Timotewu 5
1 Wanuna lwanga nkulu wa mhunu ungamubi hi mazritu, kambe yenca hi kumutsratsriya svanga tatana; majaha, matsratsriye svanga vamakwenu,
2 vavasati lavanga vakulu va vhanu, vatsratsriye svanga vamamana, van’hwanyana svanga vamakwenu, hi kubasa hinkwaku.
3 Kombisa xichavu ka vafelwa lavanga vafelwa hi ntiyiso.
4 Kambe loko mufelwa wa kukazri a ni vana kumbe vatukulu, avadondzre kukombisa kuchava Xikwembu andangwini wa ka kwavu kusungula ni kutlhelisela vapsele ni vakokwana vavu lesvi vangavayencela svone, hikusa lesvi svixongile amahlweni ka Xikwembu.
5 Xilesvo, wansati lwanga mufelwa hi ntiyiso ni lwangasala wusvake odumba Xikwembu ntsena nakone atsrhama hi kuhamba svikombelo ni svikhongoto wusiku ni nhlikanhi.
6 Kambe lweyi ahajulaka kutlanga afile nhambilesvi ahanyaka.
7 Kutani valelete lesvi, akuva vatsrhama na vange na xa kusoliwa ha xone.
8 Kambe, loko mhunu angavajuleli svakuda lavanga vake, ngopfungopfu va ndangu wake, atsrhike lipfumelo nakone atlula ni mhunu lwangeke mupfumeli hi wubihi.
9 Mufelwa lwafanelaka kutsralisiwa hi lweyi atlhanganisiki 60 wa malembe, lweyi aviki nsati wa nuna mun’we,
10 lweyi ativiwaka hi kuyenca mintizro leyinene, loko akulise vana, loko aahamba ayamukela vayeni, loko aahamba ahlampsa minenge ya vhanu va Xikwembu lava kuxwenga, loko aahamba atsrutsrumela lava avali kuxanisekeni, loko aahamba atihita hi mintizro hinkwayu leyinene.
11 Kambe tsrhika lavaheke vampsha, hikusa loko vasunguliwa hi kunavela wanuna vahambana na Kriste, vajula kutlhela vachata,
12 vakuma ni ya kuyavanyisiwa hikusa vatsrhike xidumbiso xavu xa kusungula.
13 Hi nkama wun’we, vadondzra ni kutsrhama hi mavoko, vafambafamba hi muti ni muti; nakone, avatsrhami hi mavoko ntsena kambe vatlhela vava vhanu va tindzrava ni va kutiva ta van’wana, vakhanela hi minchumu ya kukala yingafaneli.
14 Xilesvo, ninavela lesvaku vafelwa lavatsrongo vachata, vapsala vana, vahlayisa mindangu yavu, vanganyiki mukaneti mukhandlu wa kusola.
15 Hikusa van’wana vave vahambuka, valandzra Sathana.
16 Loko wansati wa kukazri lwanga mupfumeli a ni vafelwa, aavapfune; kasi bandla adzrifanelanga kubindzriseliwa, akuva dzritakota kupfuna lavanga vafelwa hakunene.
17 Vakulu lavazrangelaka ha hombe vafanela kuvoniwa svanga lavafaneliwaka hi kukombiwa xichavu hi kuhindzra, ngopfungopfu lavatizraka hi ntamu akuvulavuleni ni le kudondzriseni.
18 Hikusa tsralwa dzrili: “Loko homu yihula mavele, ungachuki uyisiva nomu”, dzritlhela dzriku: “Mutizri afaneliwa hi muholo wake.”
19 Ungapfumeli loko nkulu wa mhunu alumbetiwa xa kukazri; pfumela ntsena loko ku ni timboni tibidzri kumbe tizrazru.
20 Lavayencaka xidoho, vakhwavele amahlweni ka hinkwavu, lesvaku lavan’wana na vone vatachava.
21 Nakuleleta amahlweni ka Xikwembu na Kriste Yesu ni tintsrumi letihlawuliwiki, lesvaku ubekisa svileleto lesvi na unge na sva kusefa vhanu, ungayenci nchumu hi xihlawuhlawu.
22 Ungakahlulekeli kubeka mhunu akuva atizrela bandla; nakone ungahlengeli asvidohweni va van’wana; tsrhama na ubasile.
23 Ungahanwi mati, kambe tizrisa svivhinywana hi mhaka ya ndzreni kwaku ni lesvi utsrhamaka hi kuvabza.
24 Svidoho sva vhanu van’we svitikomba vhanwini, svivayisa akuyavanyisiweni; kambe sva van’wana na svone svigama svivoneka antsrhaku ka nkama.
25 Hi ndlela leyifanaka, na yone mintizro leyinene yatikomba avhanwini, nakone leyingeke yinene yingetsrhami na yifihlekile.
