1 Timothy 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father. Treat younger men as brothers,	1 Seniorem ne increpaveris, sed obsecra ut patrem, iuvenes ut fratres,
2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters with complete purity.	2 anus ut matres, iuvenculas ut sorores in omni castitate.
3 Honor widows who are truly widows.	3 Viduas honora, quae vere viduae sunt.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these first learn to perform their religious duty to their own family and to make recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing to God.	4 Si qua autem vidua filios aut nepotes habet, discant primum domum suam pie regere et mutuam vicem reddere parentibus; hoc enim acceptum est coram Deo.
5 The real widow, who is all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.	5 Quae autem vere vidua est et desolata, sperat in Deum et instat obsecrationibus et orationibus nocte ac die;
6 But the one who is self-indulgent is dead while she lives.	6 nam quae in deliciis est vivens, mortua est.
7 Command this, so that they may be irreproachable.	7 Et haec praecipe, ut irreprehensibiles sint.
8 And whoever does not provide for relatives and especially family members has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.	8 Si quis autem suorum et maxime domesticorum curam non habet, fidem negavit et est infideli deterior.
9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years old, married only once,	9 Vidua adscribatur non minus sexaginta annorum, quae fuerit unius viri uxor,
10 with a reputation for good works, namely, that she has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the holy ones, helped those in distress, involved herself in every good work.	10 in operibus bonis testimonium habens: si filios educavit, si hospitio recepit, si sanctorum pedes lavit, si tribulationem patientibus subministravit, si omne opus bonum subsecuta est.
11 But exclude younger widows, for when their sensuality estranges them from Christ, they want to marry	11 Adulescentiores autem viduas devita; cum enim luxuriatae fuerint adversus Christum, nubere volunt,
12 and will incur condemnation for breaking their first pledge.	12 habentes damnationem, quia primam fidem irritam fecerunt;
13 And furthermore, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers but gossips and busybodies as well, talking about things that ought not to be mentioned.	13 simul autem et otiosae discunt circumire domos, non solum otiosae sed et verbosae et curiosae, loquentes quae non oportet.
14 So I would like younger widows to marry, have children, and manage a home, so as to give the adversary no pretext for maligning us.	14 Volo ergo iuniores nubere, filios procreare, dominas domus esse, nullam occasionem dare adversario maledicti gratia;
15 For some have already turned away to follow Satan.	15 iam enim quaedam conversae sunt retro Satanam.
16 If any woman believer has widowed relatives, she must assist them; the church is not to be burdened, so that it will be able to help those who are truly widows.	16 Si qua fidelis habet viduas, subministret illis, et non gravetur ecclesia, ut his, quae vere viduae sunt, sufficiat.
17 Presbyters who preside well deserve double honor, especially those who toil in preaching and teaching.	17 Qui bene praesunt presbyteri, duplici honore digni habeantur, maxime qui laborant in verbo et doctrina;
18 For the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it is threshing," and, "A worker deserves his pay."	18 dicit enim Scriptura: “ Non infrenabis os bovi trituranti ” et: “ Dignus operarius mercede sua ”.
19 Do not accept an accusation against a presbyter unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.	19 Adversus presbyterum accusationem noli recipere, nisi sub duobus vel tribus testibus.
20 Reprimand publicly those who do sin, so that the rest also will be afraid.	20 Peccantes coram omnibus argue, ut et ceteri timorem habeant.
21 I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to keep these rules without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.	21 Testificor coram Deo et Christo Iesu et electis angelis, ut haec custodias sine praeiudicio nihil faciens in aliquam partem declinando.
22 Do not lay hands too readily on anyone, and do not share in another's sins. Keep yourself pure.	22 Manus cito nemini imposueris neque communicaveris peccatis alienis; teipsum castum custodi.
23 Stop drinking only water, but have a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.	23 Noli adhuc aquam bibere, sed vino modico utere propter stomachum et frequentes tuas infirmitates.
24 Some people's sins are public, preceding them to judgment; but other people are followed by their sins.	24 Quorundam hominum peccata manifesta sunt praecedentia ad iudicium, quosdam autem et subsequuntur;
25 Similarly, good works are also public; and even those that are not cannot remain hidden.	25 similiter et facta bona manifesta sunt, et, quae aliter se habent, abscondi non possunt.
