⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

ወእመ ቦ እምኔሆሙ ዕቤር እንተ ባቲ ውሉድ አው ደቂቀ ውሉድ ይትመሀሩ ቅድመ አሠንዮ ለቤቶሙ ወይሴስዩ አዝማዲሆሙ እስመ ከማሁ ሠናይ ወሥሙር በቅድመ እግዚአብሔር።

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

若寡婦有兒女，或有孫子孫女，便叫他們先在自己家中學着行孝，報答親恩，因為這在上帝面前是可悅納的。

ወእንተሰ ዕቤር በአማን ንጽሕት እንተ ባሕቲታ ትነብር እስመ ትውክልታ እግዚአብሔር ባሕቲቱ ወትፀመድ ጸሎተ ወትስእል መዐልተ ወሌሊተ።

Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

人若不看顧親屬，就是背了真道，比不信的人還不好，不看顧自己家裏的人，更是如此。

5:9

ወለእመ ኀረይከ እቤረ ኅረይ እንተ ስሳ ክረምታ እንተ አሐደ ብእሴ አውሰበት።

Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

寡婦記在冊子上，必須年紀到六十歲，從來只作一個丈夫的妻子，
