| 1 | Ne réprimande pas rudement le vieillard, mais exhorte-le comme un père ; exhorte les jeunes gens comme des frères, | Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; | Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: | Non riprendere aspramente un anziano, ma esortalo come un padre e i più giovani come fratelli, |
| 2 | les femmes âgées comme des mères, celles qui sont jeunes comme des soeurs, en toute pureté. | The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. | the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. | le donne anziane come madri, e le giovani come sorelle, in tutta castità. |
| 3 | Honore les veuves qui sont véritablement veuves. | Honour widows that are widows indeed. | Honor widows that are widows indeed. | Onora le vedove che sono veramente vedove. |
| 4 | Si une veuve a des enfants ou des petits-enfants, qu'ils apprennent avant tout à exercer la piété envers leur propre famille, et à rendre à leurs parents ce qu'ils ont reçu d'eux ; car cela est agréable à Dieu. | 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. | But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. | Ma se una vedova ha dei figli o dei nipoti, questi imparino prima a praticare la pietà verso quelli della propria casa e a rendere il contraccambio ai loro genitori, perché questo è buono ed accettevole davanti a Dio. |
| 5 | Celle qui est véritablement veuve, et qui est demeurée dans l'isolement, met son espérance en Dieu et persévère nuit et jour dans les supplications et les prières. | Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. | Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. | Or quella che è veramente vedova, ed è rimasta sola, pone la sua fiducia in Dio e persevera nelle preghiere e nelle suppliche notte e giorno. |
| 6 | Mais celle qui vit dans les plaisirs est morte, quoique vivante. | But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. | But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth. | Ma quella che vive sregolatamente, anche se vive, è morta. |
| 7 | Déclare-leur ces choses, afin qu'elles soient irréprochables. | And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. | These things also command, that they may be without reproach. | Raccomanda anche queste cose, affinché siano irreprensibili. |
| 8 | Si quelqu'un n'a pas soin des siens, et principalement de ceux de sa famille, il a renié la foi, et il est pire qu'un infidèle. | 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. | But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. | Ma se uno non provvede ai suoi e principalmente a quelli di casa sua, egli ha rinnegato la fede ed è peggiore di un non credente. |
| 9 | Qu'une veuve, pour être inscrite sur le rôle, n'ait pas moins de soixante ans, qu'elle ait été femme d'un seul mari, | Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. | Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man, | Una vedova sia iscritta nella lista delle vedove, quando abbia non meno di sessant'anni, sia stata moglie di un solo marito, |
| 10 | qu'elle soit recommandable par de bonnes oeuvres, ayant élevé des enfants, exercé l'hospitalité, lavé les pieds des saints, secouru les malheureux, pratiqué toute espèce de bonne oeuvre. | 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. | well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints` feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work. | e abbia testimonianza di opere buone: se ha nutrito i suoi figli, se ha ospitato i forestieri, se ha lavato i piedi ai santi, se ha soccorso gli afflitti, se si è data continuamente ad ogni opera buona. |
| 11 | Mais refuse les jeunes veuves ; car, lorsque la volupté les détache du Christ, elles veulent se marier, | But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; | But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; | Ma rifiuta le vedove più giovani perché, dopo aver alimentato desideri indegni di Cristo, vogliono maritarsi |
| 12 | et se rendent coupables en ce qu'elles violent leur premier engagement. | Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. | having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. | attirando su di sé una condanna, perché hanno violato la prima fede. |
| 13 | Avec cela, étant oisives, elles apprennent à aller de maison en maison ; et non seulement elles sont oisives, mais encore causeuses et intrigantes, disant ce qu'il ne faut pas dire. | 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. | And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. | Inoltre esse imparano anche ad essere oziose e ad andare in giro per le case, ed ancor peggio, non solo ad essere oziose, ma anche pettegole e indiscrete e a parlare di cose inutili. |
| 14 | Je veux donc que les jeunes se marient, qu'elles aient des enfants, qu'elles dirigent leur maison, qu'elles ne donnent à l'adversaire aucune occasion de médire ; | I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. | I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling: | Voglio dunque che le giovani vedove si maritino, abbiano figli, si prendano cura della famiglia e non diano all'avversario alcuna occasione di maldicenza, |
| 15 | car déjà quelques-unes se sont détournées pour suivre Satan. | For some are already turned aside after Satan. | for already some are turned aside after Satan. | alcune infatti si sono già sviate per seguire Satana. |
| 16 | Si quelque fidèle, homme ou femme, a des veuves, qu'il les assiste, et que l'Église n'en soit point chargée, afin qu'elle puisse assister celles qui sont véritablement veuves. | 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. | If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed. | Se un credente, uomo o donna, ha delle vedove, provveda loro, e non ne sia gravata la chiesa, affinché possa soccorrere quelle che sono veramente vedove. |
| 17 | Que les anciens qui dirigent bien soient jugés dignes d'un double honneur, surtout ceux qui travaillent à la prédication et à l'enseignement. | Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. | Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. | Gli anziani che esercitano bene la presidenza siano reputati degni di un doppio onore, principalmente quelli che si affaticano nella parola e nell'insegnamento. |
| 18 | Car l'Écriture dit : Tu n'emmuselleras point le boeuf quand il foule le grain. Et l'ouvrier mérite son salaire. | For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. | For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire. | La Scrittura infatti dice: Non mettere la museruola al bue che trebbia, ed ancora: L'operaio è degno del suo salario. |
| 19 | Ne reçois point d'accusation contre un ancien, si ce n'est sur la déposition de deux ou trois témoins. | Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. | Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses. | Non ricevere alcuna accusa contro un anziano, se non è confermata da due o tre testimoni. |
| 20 | Ceux qui pèchent, reprends-les devant tous, afin que les autres aussi éprouvent de la crainte. | Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. | Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. | Quelli che peccano, riprendili alla presenza di tutti, affinché anche gli altri abbiano timore. |
| 21 | Je te conjure devant Dieu, devant Jésus Christ, et devant les anges élus, d'observer ces choses sans prévention, et de ne rien faire par faveur. | 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. | I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. | lo ti scongiuro davanti a Dio, al Signore Gesù Cristo e agli angeli eletti, che tu osservi queste cose senza pregiudizio, non facendo nulla con parzialità. |
| 22 | N'impose les mains à personne avec précipitation, et ne participe pas aux péchés d'autrui ; toi-même, conserve-toi pur. | Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. | Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men`s sins: keep thyself pure. | Non imporre con precipitazione le mani ad alcuno e non partecipare ai peccati altrui; conserva te stesso puro. |
| 23 | Ne continue pas à ne boire que de l'eau ; mais fais usage d'un peu de vin, à cause de ton estomac et de tes fréquentes indispositions. | Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. | Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach`s sake and thine often infirmities. | Non bere più soltanto acqua, ma fa' uso di un po' di vino a causa del tuo stomaco e per le tue frequenti infermità. |
| 24 | Les péchés de certains hommes sont manifestes, même avant qu'on les juge, tandis que chez d'autres, ils ne se découvrent que dans la suite. | Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. | Some men`s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after. | In alcuni uomini i peccati sono manifesti e li precedono al giudizio, mentre in altri li seguono. |
| 25 | De même, les bonnes oeuvres sont manifestes, et celles qui ne le sont pas ne peuvent rester cachées. | Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. | In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid. | Così pure le buone opere di alcuni sono manifeste; ed anche quando non lo sono, non possono rimanere nascoste. |
